Polish immigrants in the United Kindom after 2004
Prouzová, Marie ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Klípa, Ondřej (referee)
Bachelor dissertation "Polish Immigrants in the United Kingdom after 2004" deals with one of the most important current migration flows within the European Union and its effects. The time limit of this dissertation is from the EU enlargement of 2004 to 2010, when the Labour government of that era lost the UK general election. The number of Polish immigrants who came after the enlargement of 2004 increased the existing Polish diaspora several times over. Nationals of newly accessed countries were allowed to work in Britain (in contrast to most major countries) without any additional work permits. That was one of the reasons why many more immigrants came into this country compared to predictions. The dissertation deals with types of employment of Polish immigrants in the UK labour market and whether these immigrants have had a positive or negative impact on British economy. It examines the social context of this migration including the socio-demographic profile of the immigrants. Further it looks at perception of this migration flow by the British population and the integration of Poles within British society.

Turkish membership in the EU: French, German and British Perspectives
Dražilová, Dominika ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Najšlová, Lucia (referee)
The accession of Turkey to the EU has become one of the major unresolved issues of European integration and leads directly into bigger debates about the underpinnings and purpose of the EU. Should Turkey be a Member State with full rights or be connected to the through a yet undefined special relationship? That is the kind of question many are asking nowadays. Every Member State of the European Union has a different vision of Europe, with different views of how the Union should be defined and on what foundations it should be based. This work explores the relationship between the concept of Europe held by a country's political elite, through analysing its discourse, and the country's position towards Turkish EU membership. Three cases are presented: France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
