Abstract

Particular scientific disciplines focus on issues related to the financial autonomy of municipalities, but still interdisciplinary approach of researching is completely unique or even missing. Political science overshadowed this topic in the past and other topics dominated political research (mainly in the Czech Republic).

Nevertheless, it is evident that there is a close relationship between the political and financial autonomy because the allocation of funds is a purely political decision. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the construction of related financial autonomy to political science and clarify the relationship of local autonomy and local democracy.

The political science is viewed through the prism of Alker, Berg-Schlosser and Stamenn and Raymond Aron's primacy of politics. This text is patterned on partial knowledge about the financial aspects of the project municipal autonomy in the political system of the Czech Republic supported by the Grant Agency of Charles University and is composed on the basis of the research of the theoretical literature of various social science disciplines and the study of research team around K.
