Securitization of Immigration and Multiculturalism: The Case Study of Germany
Nguyen, Van Anh ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of securitization of immigration and multiculturalism within the framework of migration, immigration and integration policies focusing on the case of Germany. Using the migration-security nexus as a primary theoretical foundation, I argue that within the policies and legislations related to immigration, German governments ultimately perceive immigration as a threat at the level of state security as well as Germany's national identity. The first government I have selected for my analysis is the cabinet led by Gerhard Schröder (1998 - 2005) who challenged the romanticized perception of the German nation as a "nation of descent" by saying that "Germany is a country of immigration." Secondly, I focus on the chancellorship of Angela Merkel whose approach toward the Syrian asylum seekers in the context of the current migration crisis (9/2015 - 11/2016) has been called "Wilkommenskutlur" (or "Welcome culture"). Nonetheless, by studying the policies related to immigration as well as governments' discourses, I argue that in both cases, immigration and multiculturalism are indeed linked to security issues. Hence, immigrants are perceived as a threat to Germany's national security and its identity.

The bachelor thesis deals with the Dutch political Party for Freedom (PVV) and its leader Geert Wilders. PVV is basically known as an extreme right party based on its anti-immigration policy and criticism of Islam. Its leader Geert Wilders considers Islam not to be a religion but rather a political ideology which is dangerous the same way communism or Nazism used to be. However Wilders denies labeling himself as an extreme right politician. He argues that his aim is to preserve Dutch liberal values and its identity. He tends to reject deeper integration of the Netherlands to the European Union as well. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether the PVV can be qualified as an extreme right populist party according to the Rydgren's theory, which strictly defines extreme, right and populist aspects of this party family. The second aim of this thesis is to examine the position of the PVV on the current political scene in the Netherlands. The success of the party has started since the Dutch society has radicalized. The main reason for its radicalization was political assassination of Pim Fortuyn in 2002 and murder of Theo Van Gogh two years later. Since PVV was established, the party has participated in general elections three times: in 2006, 2010 and 2012. After the elections of 2012, the party lost...
