Abstract

In May 2004 the Czech Republic became a member of the European Union and given the opportunity to fully participate in political, social and economic life of the Union in accordance with set rules. Despite the diversity of member countries brings significant economic and social disparities at the national and regional level. The policy of economic and social cohesion, which seeks to overcome these phenomena are therefore among the most important EU policy coordination. Through this policy it wants to contribute to the development of lagging regions, the restructuring of industrial areas, which have found themselves in a difficult situation, the economic diversification of rural areas where agriculture is in decline, or to revitalize depressed urban neighborhoods. The thesis deals with the impact of the economic and social cohesion in the European Union in the Czech Republic and the Southern Region. The main topic of this thesis is to evaluate the impact that "caused" projects that were implemented in 2004– 2006 through funding by the Southern Region. Evaluation is possible only with the passage of time (3–5 years), which affects the real impact that caused the project implementation.
