The media representation of the European refugee crisis in selected British newspapers
Kvítková, Alena ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis is concerned with media representation of the European refugee crisis in chosen British newspapers during its peak at the turn of September and October 2015. The aim is to examine a sample consisting of four newspapers - which is balanced in terms of their type as tabloids and broadsheets as well as the party-press parallelism - the frameworks they use and the positivity or negativity of an overall media image of the refugee crisis. At first the thesis analyses media frameworks and media image of the respective newspapers The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Mail, which are in the next step confronted and compared based on the different newspaper types. In this way the tendency towards different portrayal of events in left-wing vs. right-wing newspapers as well as tabloids vs. broadsheets is explored. Another important aspect of this paper is to deduce the overall most frequently used frameworks and the overall image of the refugee crisis from all of the articles from the four newspapers and to confront these results with British public opinion surveys. This allows us to test the theory that refugee crises are often enveloped in negativity or the theory that media and the public influence each other and therefore media can be used as a kind of probe...

In my thesis I also focus on differences in medial communication of...

Téma uprchlictví v denících Mladá fronta Dnes a v Hospodářských novinách
ANDĚL, Marek
The topic most frequently covered in the Czech media in 2015 was the migration crisis. This topic is treated in the present thesis by means of frame analysis, resulting in a description of a phenomenon of how media compete for a higher share of the press market through presentation of migration crisis. The research is based on articles on the topic of refugee crisis published in two Czech dailies, Mladá Fronta Dnes and Hospodářské noviny. Applying the concept of frame analysis, the author attempts to compare how and how frequently the two dailies covered the topic in 2015, provides an outline and historical background of the period, and describes the methods employed in the research, in particular the above-mentioned frame analysis.

Müller, Daniel ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (referee)
This thesis deals with the proposed changes in the area of EU asylum and migration law in the light of the current refugee crisis. EU asylum and migration law are two separate areas between which there is a "close connection". The paper describes EU asylum and migration legal framework, then delimits the term "refugee crisis" and reviews recent measures taken or proposed by the EU. The thesis is divided into 3 chapters. In the first part of the paper the author follows up the legal framework which encompasses both international legal instruments (1951 Refugee Convention and others) and EU primary law and secondary acts. The second chapter is dedicated to analysis of the "refugee crisis", its crises factors, as well as to reflections on the characteristic of this crisis as a state of emergency. The last chapter, which is internally divided into two subchapters, concerning asylum and migration law, relates to particular measures taken by the EU during the crisis. The subchapter which deals with the asylum law includes the following topics: on the one hand it describes ad hoc measures to tackle the migration crisis in Italy and Greece, on the other hand it analyzes proposals of a system reform (e.g. proposal for a permanent EU relocation mechanism, reform of the Dublin system, completing the reform of...

The Image of the Czech Republic in the Pages of German Newspapers within Context of the European Migration Crisis
Křížková, Veronika ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
This master's thesis examines the image of the Czech Republic that the German media promote in the context of the European migration crisis. For this purpose, articles from three German daily newspapers dating from 2015 until 2016 were examined. The research was carried out on 186 articles using quantitative content analysis and constant comparative method. Throughout the research the information on when and how the media wrote about the Czech Republic were gathered. In the context of the European migration crisis a recurring image of the Czech Republic was created mainly through the EU perspective, along with the other members of the Visegrad Group. For its rejecting position of the European solution for the crisis, which was supported by Germany, the image of the Czech Republic is rather negative and the state is denounced for lacking. The German media coverage of the Czech Republic was strongly politicized and embodied by politicians. The results of the research can provide an overview of the perception of the Czech Republic by Germany during the European migration crisis. The results can contribute to further research on this current topic as well.

Anti-islamic movements in eastern Germany: PEGIDA and its Development
Mojžíš, Radek ; Emler, David (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
This master thesis deals with the development of the protest movement PEGIDA, which was founded on October 11. 2014 in Dresden. This movement speaks loudly against the Islamization of Germany during the regular demonstrations and criticizes the political situation in the country. In times of its greatest popularity it has attracted thousands of people. Nowadays its importance is still diminishing. The aim is therefore to describe the development of the movement and its characteristics. The work is divided into four main chapters. The first one explains the development in Saxony, the second one describes the development of the movement and its programmatics. It also contains the change of relationship towards Alternative für Deutschland (AfD): from an animosity into an open collaboration. PEGIDA was created as a Facebook group: with tools like Google Trends and Fanpage Karma this chapter analyzes its evolution in an online world. It also shows a declining search rate on Google and its popularity on Facebook. The last chapter is based on studies conducted among demonstrators concerning their demographic data and their views on the functioning of democracy and politics. It follows that most Pegidists do not believe in political representation and see an AfD as an alternative. The stagnation of the...

ŠONKOVÁ, Eva
The submitted diploma thesis is focused on the refugee phenomenon and its classification among international migration issues as such, while the interest is focused mainly on immigration from third-world countries into European Union, accenting the Czech Republic. In this context, causes of growing tendency in international protection applicant and economic migrant numbers, but also responses caused by this fact, are being discussed. To enable a closer look at the multi-ethnic co-habitation character, there is secondary empirical data outlining the current situation of the majority´s relationship towards the ethnic and national plurality with regard to migration crisis given on the one hand, and determinants influencing the creation of different citizen attitudes on the other hand. Last but not least, there is some space left for chosen interactive education methods and didactic material based on them, which is useful when teaching about the controversial refugee issue in lessons of Civics.

Možné ovlivnění českého venkova současnou mezinárodní migrací
Trčková, Marie
Migration is a global trend not only of the current population. However, it bears many controversial questions that are not easy to answer. Currently, opinions regarding the arrival of Syrian refugees into Czech Republic are dividing our society across generations and social status. This diploma thesis is mainly focused on the possible influence of Czech countryside by this migrant wave exhibiting totally different cultural behaviour. Moreover, the differences among Syrian culture and global Islamic religion as well as the Vietnamese traditions, we live in the Czech Republic alongside for decades, are discussed. A survey was conducted to determine the public perception among people living on rural areas with respect to a hypothetical arrival of refugees to their village. The main feature of the questionnaire was identified as the scepticism of respondents concerning the refugees integration process, whereby the vast majority was afraid of arrival of war refugees into Czech country. Additional analysis is attempting to identify possible sources of the negative attitude of the population. Finally, the work was enriched by view of a leading Czech expert on geomigration, assoc. Prof. Dr. Dušan Drbohlav.
