Law and governance

What we do

Systemic crises may also be caused by the rules and procedures of political institutions. The SYRI Institute will cooperate with political, legal, and administrative sciences to analyse the workings of institutions at different levels, in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in the EU. Experts will study how activities of these institutions are coordinated at both levels. By identifying examples of successful reform of legal and governance processes in the Czech Republic and at international level, researchers will formulate practical recommendations for reform in the Czech Republic.
