The Concept of Transnational Migration and Its Manifestations as Shown on the Example of the Ukrainian and Vietnamese Communities in the Czech Republic
Pospíšilová, Radka ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Marešová, Jarmila (referee)
7 ABSTRACT In the early 1990s first debates about transnational migration occurred. Some experts on migration started to point out that international migration had changed and it could no longer be perceived as a permanent movement from sending to receiving countries. Dense and continuous transborder linkages between migrants and their origin countries had been noted. The pioneers of the transnational migration perspective tried to establish transnational migration as a new phenomenon. However, more and more migration researchers draw attention to the fact that there is nothing new about ties between immigration and emigration countries. Due to the complexity and unclear boundaries of the whole transnational perspective, not a single transnational migration theory has been formulated yet. First of all, the thesis describes the development of the transnational perspective and presents various points of view, including the geographical one. Apart from that, the most important characteristics such as sending remittances, holding two passports or the role of transnational media are introduced. Secondly, following the theoretical knowledge of the transnational migration perspective, the thesis tries to discover whether there are any signs of transnational practices among the Ukrainian and Vietnamese communities...

Impact of social networks on international migration movements and a success of integration (on the example of Ukrainian and Moldovan migrants in Czechia)
Večeřová, Šárka ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Marešová, Jarmila (referee)
Extensive emigration from post-soviet countries is caused mainly by unfavorable economic and social conditions, which is the source of the preporderant economic motive of Ukrainian and Moldovan migrants to another country. Mainly for the purpose of easier immigration to the Czech Republic, social networks and links are being built and maintained in geographically dispersed places. Their indispensability in the migration process lies in obtaining information, access to valuable resources and retention of psychological support. Due to the expansion of communication technologies and increasingly favorable conditions for travelling, social networks and ties are gradually developing. The submitted diploma thesis explores the influence of social networks on international migration and the success of the integration of Ukrainian and Moldovan migrants in the Czech Republic. The social networks of migrants are tested in terms of their intensity in the country of origin and in the destination country, and at the same time the financial remittance and transnationalization behavior is targeted. The impact of social networks on migration is analyzed by a quantitative method based on the answers from a questionnaire survey with a selection using the ,,snow-ball" method (data for this research were obtained and...

(Il)legal migration and the role of marriages of conveniece when gaining residence permit for third-country members in the Czech Republic focusing on Czech-Muslim marriages
Davidová, Markéta ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Marešová, Jarmila (referee)
Migration offers a spectrum of illegal channels through which migrants enter their target countries. Marriages of convenience are one of these ways. Specifically this means marrying a foreigner who has no residence status or has a lower one than their partner they are marrying. Their partner may be the citizen of their target country or also a foreigner, however, having a higher residence status. People entering such marriages misuse the marriage institute in order to obtain a legal residence in the given country. The objective of the diploma thesis is thus illegal migration through marriages between nationals coming from third countries of the Muslim world and people living in the area of the Czech Republic. Subsequently, foreigners obtain the status of a family member, of an EU citizen, and together with that the right of a free residence and movement within the EU. The general aim of the research was to compare two categories of these foreigners who were looking for the entry into the Czech Republic based on a short-term visa. One category consisted of visa applicants who succeeded in their applications, and those whose applications were refused due to a detected circumvention of the immigration law in the form of a marriages of convenience. Both groups were compared based on chosen indicators...
