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.

Dumont, Anna ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
'Regularization of Illegal Migration as a Policy-making Process' deals with the social problem of having a high number of irregular migrants in the Czech Republic and regularization as a tool that could help reduce it. Regularization is seen as a political process theoretically described by using the Advocacy Coalition Framework. This thesis tries to find normative definitions of the two coalitions, which hold different beliefs and two different points of view rather than describe the problem. The work is partly designed as a case study in which the theory is applied to the issue of regularization in part there is also an explanation of regularization as well as the Advocacy Coalition Framework. The thesis defines the two coalitions within the subsystem - the for-regularization and anti-regularization coalitions. Each coalition has its deep core and policy core beliefs that determine the relationship to the topic as well as the relationship between the coalitions themselves. In conclusion, the author summarized the information about the coalitions and their belief in three comparative tables where one can confront their approaches. The last part also contains a chapter on The Changes of Beliefs and Policies, where there is an introduction of two policies: the system of voluntary return and that...

An analysis of determinants of immigration to the CR.
Toušková, Daniela ; Fialová, Kamila (advisor) ; Vyležík, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of my bachelor thesis is to introduce the issues of migration from the economic point of view based on data focused on the Czech Republic. There is only the net immigration analyzed in this thesis due to the lack of relevant data available for the emigration ones. The net immigration is represented by the difference of number of foreigners working in the CR legally. There is a linear regression model used in this analysis and dependence of difference of number of foreigners working in CR on several economic variables is estimated by the ordinary least squares method. There are quarterly data collected in 2001-2009 used in the analysis. The results show that the largest impact on the growth of number of working foreigners has the growth of unemployment rate. This impact is negative, which corresponds to the economic theory presented in the theoretical part of this thesis. Other variables significant for the difference of number of foreigners are year-to-year difference of real wage and difference of real gross domestic income.

The migration crisis in Europe and subsequent implications for Swedish welfare state
Lacková, Dominika ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Němcová, Ingeborg (referee)
In general, migration is one of the most important global challenges. The topic of regulating migration flows came to the fore in relation to the current Europe's migration, or more precisely, refugee crisis. It has been described as the most massive migrant's crisis since the WW2. Unprecedented influx of immigrants and refugees in 2015 resulted in that even the best prepared European countries, such as Sweden, have reached a tipping point with regard to respect EU standards related to reception and processing of asylum applications. Master thesis covered two main analyses - the relevance of the refugee crisis in the EU in regards to the Swedish welfare state and the subsequent implications arising from the refugee crisis for the Swedish welfare state.

Trafficking in human beings as a way of strengthening the market competitiveness of the Czech Republic?
Horáčková, Veronika ; Gráf, Václav (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
The thesis considers trafficking as a way of strengthening the market competitiveness of the Czech Republic. Contrary to wide-spread approach to this issue, only as to violation of the rights of victims, trafficking is examined from the side of entrepreneurs and from the side of impact on national competitiveness. In addition to factors affecting the national economy and the motivation of entrepreneurs is evaluated the efficiency of subsidies provided by the Ministry of the Interior to Programme of the support and protection for victims of trafficking. In the thesis is found out that the exploitation of trafficked persons increases competitiveness of the Czech Republic, because it fills gaps on the domestic labour market with no wage increases. For employers victims are flexible and low-cost source of labour force, which increases productivity of their firms, but they don't represent significant competition for legal workers in the country.

Analysis of measures to reduce illegal migration in the European Union and their impact on the Czech Republic
Žilová, Šárka ; Gráf, Václav (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
This bachelor thesis responds to the situation incurred over the last two decades, when member states of the European Union, facing an influx of illegal migrants from third countries, have sought to confront this issue on both transnational and national levels. Through analysing European Union's legislative measures to persecute illegal migration and through recognising the results of alternative solutions applied under the respective national jurisdictions, the thesis concludes that a gradual liberalization of legal immigration seems to be a more appropriate instrument in tackling illegal migration than any restrictive measures. Consequently, recommendations are formulated from the obtained results, specifying how to improve the issue of illegal migration in the Czech Republic.
