Filová, Alexandra ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Šánová, Lucie (referee)
A steep rise in Commonwealth immigrants entering Britain during the first half of the fifties resulted in a series of debates concerning the possibility to limit this inflow by legislation. In order to be able to analyze these debates, it is necessary to understand the historical background of the whole issue. Therefore a short description of certain basic facts regarding immigration precedes the actual political analysis. This part shows Britain as a country traditionally opened to Commonwealth immigration. However, the unprecedented number of immigrants entering the country in the first post-war years raised concern. In reaction to this anxieties British overseas officers applied certain measures to deter local population from considering a trip to Britain. When the preventive actions did not yield satisfying results, the government applied legislative restrictions.

Such a situation developed in the Netherlands which became an example of a failure of multiculturalism. However multiculturalism was of a different kind in each of those countries and so was the final form of integration policies.
