Quebec Integration Policy since Quiet Revolution
Pluhařová, Jana ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the issue of Quebec integration policy since the Quiet Revolution. Analyzing the dynamics between immigration, identity and integration in Quebec, it suggests that the changing identity played a central role in the formulation of Quebec integration policy. The thesis aims to discover whether Quebec identity and its transformation determined the formation of the integration policy and also tries to determine how the transformation of ethnic to civic identity influenced the integration policy. After the Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, Quebec passed through a dynamic transformation of its identity not only in relation to the federal state of Canada, but also in relation to itself. Situated as a nation within a nation, Quebec is in a unique position. The provincial government decided to reject the Canadian federal policy of multiculturalism, which does not recognize Quebecers as a distinct ethnic group and rejects the principle of a bicultural Canada. Quebec has introduced its own integration model called interculturalism, which was influenced by its dichotomic identity and its transformation.

Onderková, Kristýna ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
Canadian francophone province Quebec is tied to the French Republic not only thanks to their common history and language but also because of a very specific long-term international and political cooperation both within the Francophonie and beyond it. This bachelor thesis "Special relationship" between Quebec and France in 1950s and 1960s tries to prove that there really existed a "special relationship" between France and Quebec in the 1950s and 1960s which is in many ways similar to the "special relationship" between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The period is specific due to the coincidence of two important events: the victory of Jean Lesage's Liberals that started the Quiet Revolution in Quebec on one hand and the French presidency of General Charles de Gaulle, the biggest defender of good relations between France and Quebec on the other hand. Based on careful research of their political, diplomatic, cultural and economic relations during this special period, the thesis analyses to what extent the "special relationship" strengthened Quebec's self-confidence, supported the promotion of Quebec's interests within Canada, helped Quebec in its struggle for being recognized by much more countries and directed this province towards fighting...

Changing role of Quebec in French politics
Lemel, Ondřej ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
This thesis deals with transformations of French foreign policy towards Québec and Canada. The first president of the French Fifth Republic, Charles de Gaulle, as well as all his successors together with their administration supported Québec's international ambitions and its desire to be sovereign abroad in the areas that fall within its competence in internal politics according to the Canadian Constitution. This support took place mainly on the platform of Francophonie. In 1995, the presidential candidate at that time, Jacques Chirac, clearly supported sovereingty movement. After the referendum won by the federalists France started to gradually reconcile with the federal government of Canada in various international politics issues such as protection of cultural diversity and multilateralism. France is also worried that in case of Canada's separation, the English speaking rest of the country would get more easily under the influence of the United States of America. France does not intend to admit this scenario. Jacques Chirac during this twelve-year mandate was gradually deepening the cooperation with Ottawa. Nevertheless, Québec remains the privileged partner of France in the fields of culture and education that are key for French foreign policy. Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was even clearly...
