The analysis starts with the year 2012 when neither media nor political agendas did assign any importance to this topic. The whole examination will end with year 2017. An issue will be considered through views of both mainstream parties: how they approach topic in bounded time interval and if they tried to exploit anti-immigration moods in society by embracing dislike of immigration in their schemes. Besides, in my thesis I will be dealing with how both parties are approaching problem of immigration, what solutions are offering and how big portion of their agenda this issue takes.

Regionální média a uprchlická krize ve vybraných krajích České republiky
Rodová, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis deals with the phenomenon of refugee crisis and migration and with the projection of this theme in regional media. The aim of the thesis is to point to how migrant people are portrayed in regional media and to evaluate whether the picture of migrant people is consistent in regional daily newspapers on the basis of comparison of two regional mutations of the chosen medium. Then our aim is to suggest advice and recommendations for balanced coverage of this theme in the news. The theoretical part of the thesis offers insight into current migration trends in Europe, definitions of basic terms such as refugee crisis, refugee, migrant, asylum-seeker, international protection etc. Also we deal with the influence of media on the formation of public opinion and opinion on refugees. The following chapter presents our analysis of a small sample of articles in foreign media. We show how journalists write about migration in regional newspapers behind the border of the Czech Republic. In the empirical part of the thesis we try to find out, through content analysis of websites of two regional mutations of Deník, how the theme of the refugee crisis and migration is reflected in regional media. We find out that the portrait of refugees in regional media is rather consistent and the differences are given mostly by the personality of a journalist. Media agenda in regional newspapers rather do not correspond to real development of refugee crisis at the given place. It rather corresponds to the reality at the level of the Czech Republic or the European Union. We suggest essential recommendations for better covering the theme at the level of language and we call for deeper context.

Greek Civil War: Greek Immigrants from Anatolia and Their Involvement in the Communist Insurgency (1946-1949)
Chábová, Tereza ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This Master's thesis deals with the individual's motivations for participation in the Communist insurgency during the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949. More specifically, the thesis aims to analyse the motivations of those who joined the Communist guerrillas and at the same time originated from the population which came as Greek Christian refugees in 1920s to Macedonia, Northern Greece. The Master's thesis introduces several theoretical concepts which try to explain individual's motivations for mobilization in insurgency generally, including the "grievance versus greed" theory, the social networks and collective identity approach as well as coercion approach. The theories are then applied to the empirical case of Greek-speaking Pontic refugees from Anatolia and their participation in the Greek Civil War. The thesis introduces the background and experiences of the researched ethnic group throughout the interwar period up until the Greek Civil War. The analysis of the particular incentives which were behind the Greek refugee's participation is supported by the qualitative research in the form of interviews with 21 witnesses, who fall into the researched group of families who originate from the Pontos region in Anatolia and have family experience of mobilization in Communist Insurgency of 1946 to 1949. The thesis...

Majdáková, Anežka ; Lipovský, Milan (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
Legal status of whistleblowers in relation to the refugee status Abstract The aim of this thesis is to introduce the whistleblowing issue in context of international law, refugee law specifically. In recent years, there have been several globally significant cases of whistleblowers responsible for leaks of information of i.a. public entities and seeking protection against their own state of nationality in other countries. Despite the worldwide attention that these cases got, the problematics of whistleblowing is not sufficiently covered from the perspective of international law. Especially in Czech law literature, this topic is neglected in such context. The object of the thesis is therefore to provide an overview of the issue and to identify and analyze its controversial aspects. The work is structured from general introduction into the topic, thereafter defining crucial terms and institutes and categorizing them, towards detailed analysis of the status of whistleblowers and each of refugee definition parts in particular. The core of the work itself is constituted of application of these definition characteristics to miscellaneous whistleblower cases, with the purpose of answering the research question whether (and under what condition) could whistleblowers fulfill the refugee definition. In the thesis is...

Fridrichová, Jesika ; Podzimek, Jan (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is semiotic analysis of terms "refugee" and "migrant" in the context of the current migration crisis. The thesis deals with analyzing these terms as semiotic signs. It deals with the way in which selected media treat these terms. Three Czech media were chosen for the research, with 15 selected articles containing research terms from each of them. The sample includes serious news (Aktualne.cz), tabloid news (Blesk.cz) as well as a blog (Blog iDnes.cz) as a journalistic platform, to which anyone can contribute. The research deals with the influence of the media on the formation of concepts and is framed by the theory of social construction of reality presented by T. Luckmann and P. L. Berger. The thesis deals with analysis on the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels. In the theoretical part, the theory of social construction of reality is outlined first. Then the thesis briefly introduces the circumstances of the migration crisis and the basic differences in the meaning of the analyzed signifiers and finally introduces the analytical concepts, which are Morris classification of semiotics, Saussure's distinction between syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships, as well as interrelationships in which individual words can appear in the text. The practical part then...
