Italian political discourse and securitization of imigration: the case of revolutions on Maghreb in 2011
Kaleta, Ondřej ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Šánová, Lucie (referee)
The master thesis titled Italian Political Discourse and Securitization of Immigration: the Case of the Maghreb revolutions in 2011 deals with the issue of mass immigration waves reaching Italian shores and, in particular, the tiny island of Lampedusa during the initial phase of the so called Arab Spring. Its main goal lies in reconstruction and interpretation of the political discourse led by Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right government presenting the immigration crisis as a serious threat to national and potentially to European security. The first part introduces the general theoretical framework. The securitization theory of the Copenhagen School was used as an instrument for the thesis, including major criticism raised by the authors belonging to the social constructivist approach. In the second part, the author tries to characterize the basic historical and political context and clarifies the specifics of immigration in contemporary Italy. The last segment contains structuralized discourse analysis of the 2011 events and explores the extraordinary measures adopted and implemented in reaction to the government rhetoric at both the national and supranational levels. In this respect, the author pays special attention to how the process of negotiations finally led to the revision of the EU...

Sundal, Kendra ; Hynek, Nikola (advisor) ; Šánová, Lucie (referee)
Bibliographic Note Sundal, Kendra. 2013. La Frontière/Il Confine: French and Italian Migration Discourse. 85 pages. Master's thesis. Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Political Studies. Supervisor doc. PhDr. RNDr. Nikola Hynek, M.A., PgDipRes, PhD Abstract This work analyzes the historical background and discourse on migration in Italy and France, focusing on migration from and through former colonies in North Africa. Drawing on a feminist methodological approach, the work discusses how migrants may be perceived or treated differently based on gender, and how this impacts (or is impacted by) policies. In particular, one illustrative event, the closure of the Franco-Italian border in April 2011, is analyzed more deeply using the theory of domopolitics as introduced by William Walters. By tracing the history and the discourse about migration and integration from colonial times to the present, this event and other recent debates related to Mediterranean migration are contextualized. Key Terms: migration, France, Italy, borders, Arab Spring, domopolitics, feminist methodology, discourse analysis, historical representation

The policy of European Union Member States Towards Immigration from Third Countries after Year 2000: The Case of Germany, Sweden and Italy
Sladičeková, Eva ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The thesis deals with immigration policies of EU member states, specifically Germany, Sweden and Italy, after year 2000. Using the method of comparative case study its goal is to identify factors that affect immigration policy of a state based on comparison of immigration policies of three examined countries. Another objective is to find out, what determines the success of a particular immigration policy. In this context, the work tries to verify the following two hypotheses: (1) The Europeanization of immigration policy leads to national policies getting more similar to each other, yet still differences persist that are caused by the particularities of each country. The way a state approaches the issue of immigration is to a substantial degree influenced by non-material factors, especially its understanding of the definition of its own national identity and citizenship. and (2) Success of an immigration policy largely depends on whether its objectives take into account the limits of liberal democracy and liberal state in general. Nowadays the nation-state is not able to control all the movement on its territory and thus significantly affect such a global phenomenon as migration. Moreover, status of a liberal state implies certain commitments and expected behaviour, particularly in relation to...

Influence and role of Sweden in EU immigration policy since 2000
Jandová, Monika ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
This thesis aims to monitor the influence of Sweden on the process of making immigration policy after 2000. In the first chapter the thesis outlines the initial effort to harmonize EU immigration policy before 2000 in order to build on the description of the current situation. In the second chapter the thesis describes the development of Swedish policy towards immigrants from third countries and proves that an open attitude towards immigrants comes from the Swedish experience during the World War II. In the third chapter two levels of legislative processes of the EU are monitored. First, it is described how the rules for the adoption of legislation on immigration are generated and second the process of adopting particular legislative proposals is described. These three chapters make theoretical background for the analysis the role of Sweden in adopting both types of legislation since 2000. Based on the analysis the author concludes that the influence of each Member State in the EU legislative process is very complicated, if not impossible, to study, mainly because of the lack of transparency in the whole process. One of the biggest shortcomings the author considers is the fact that Member States do not public their positions on particular issue when negotiating legislative proposals in the working groups...

Tůmová, Dominika ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The Thesis "Securitization of Migration in Central Europe" deals with the issue of international migration in Central European countries from the perspective of Security Studies. The aim of this thesis is to point out to the prevailing security concept of this issue in selected countries of Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary), to find out the reasons for this approach to the migration and asylum issues and also to determine whether the security approach to the issue of migration does reflect the real situation of migration phenomenon in selected Central European countries. Through comparative analysis of the issue of migration in selected countries, this thesis verifies validity of the subsequent hypothesis: The security approach to the issue of international migration does not reflect the real situation of migration phenomenon in selected Central European countries. The variables are migration issues most often connected with the security of state and its society: illegal migration, criminality of foreigners, integration, employment of foreigners, access to the welfare benefits and demographical factors.
