Ksiazkiewiczová, Pavla ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Eberle, Jakub (referee)
Pavla Ksiazkiewiczová Německo-ruské vztahy na pozadí ukrajinské krize a rusko- gruzínské války Abstract The thesis examines the German response to the Ukrainian Crisis in 2008 and the Russo- Georgian War in 2014. On the background of these two conflicts, I would like to demonstrate the German-Russian relations and their deterioration in the past years. My main research question was why did Germany decide to support and advocate the EU sanctions against Russia during the Ukrainian Crisis in 2014, when they did not promote such a solution in the 2008 during the Russo-Georgian War. My hypothesis is that German foreign policy shifted from the economic interests-oriented approach towards norm-oriented one. I am working with the theory Foreign policy analysis, which studies the management of international relations and state's activities. This theory can be understood as a critique towards dominant structural approach in international relations because it says that foreign policy is determined by the domestic policy. I constructed the German response to the Ukrainian Crisis and the Russo- Georgian War using qualitative discourse analysis. With this method I am analyzing the statements of those actors, who influence German foreign policy.
The Integration policy od Germany on the Example of the Immigration Act "Zuwanderungsgesetz" and its Amendment
Ksiazkiewiczová, Pavla ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Dimitrov, Michal (referee)
The study analyses the first German comprehensive Immigration Act "Zuwanderungsgesetz" which was adopted in 2004 and its amendment from 2007. The most important goal of this act is the possibility of integration for immigrants into major society. The aim of this analysis is to find out how the Immigration act changed German integration policy. The main issue is whether the German approach is multiculturalist or assimilationist. Research criterions of this study were defined based on the most important parts of the law - the integration of immigrants, their access to the labour market and family immigration. The law is analysed within these criterions together with political parties' opinions. The main part of the study is divided into two chapters. The first chapter analyses the Immigration Act from 2004 and the second one is focused on the act's amendment from 2007. Both of them show the path to the law and analyse the act from the perspective of the three criteria, how the legislation changed and what the opinions of the political parties were.
