The History of Administration introduces the audience to the organisation of public administration in the territory of Czech state in the time span from the Middle Ages until 1848. The interpretation of the institutions of public administration is combined with information on the preservation and storage of their written production as an iportant moment not only for the understanding of their organisation and actual functioning, but also for the methodical historical study in general. In the first part of the course, attention is paid to the earlies period (up to 1848), where the introduction of large-scale administrative changes in the mid-19th century is a precursor. Within the course, the interpretation does not only deal with the line of state political administration, even though it receives the most space and was of the highest importance in term of national development, but also with other particular legal areas that had their own administration, be it municipal, regional or ecclesiastical administration. The emphasis is not only on mastering the basic factual background, but also on presenting the trends, tendencies and historical-economic-social background of the outlined development.
The student is able to characterize the nature of the history of administration and its connection with other disciplines. The student knows in an overview form the basic features of the history of administration in the Czech lands until 1848. The student is able to characterise the territorial and territorial-administrative development of the Czech lands. The student is also able to give an overview of the development of political, ecclesiastical, municipal and patrimonial administration.
