U.S. Immigration Policy towards Mexican Immigrants in the Second Half of the 1990s
Konečná, Kateřina ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Perutka, Lukáš (referee)
This paper studies American immigration policy towards Mexican immigrants in the second half of the 1990's. It also studies the North American Trade Agreement that was essential for the American-Mexican relations. This paper aims to find out how the agreement influenced US immigration policy after its adoption, since there was a hope that in the long run it would regulate the migration flows. For this purpose, it studies the immigration aspects of the agreement and immigration policies, that were either passed or discussed in the United States. Based on that, it concludes that it cannot be easily proven that the adoption of the agreement directly influenced the immigration policy towards Mexican immigrants, since that was influenced by many other factors that could not have been studied given the scope of this work. Nevertheless, there was a bill that increased the number of visas for temporary workers, which was nothing new for Mexican immigrants, since this was introduced already in the NAFTA agreement.

Novotná, Adéla Anna ; Lukešová, Anna (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)

The Netherlands has gone through a big change since the year 1998 and it has completely revised its approach to immigration and integration of incomers. It has stopped adhering to the multicultural approach and has gone in an entirely new direction, which supports a civic integration. This work is particularly focused on the law of Civic Integration Abroad, which was introduced in 2006 as a new measure for the integration of immigrants. The main essence of the law is to meet certain conditions and a successful passing of an integration test before arrival to the Netherlands. This law was the first of its kind in Europe and it was intended to restrict the immigration of certain groups of newcomers. For this reason, as an integration law, it also intervenes in Dutch immigration. The first part of the work is dedicated to the immigration to the Netherlands, to Dutch approach to immigrants and to the development of new integration policies until year 2006. The second part deals directly with the act on Civic Integration Abroad and its development. The main part of the work is research, which is based on statistics and its aim is to determine how and to what...

Šatrová, Tereza ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis "Comparison of non-European immigration policy of the United Kingdom during the premierships of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in 1997-2010" is a comparative case study which deals with the outputs of immigration policy, especially the legislation and governmental papers published since the New Labour won the general election in the United Kingdom in 1997 until 2010, when the New Labour lost. The two compared cases are delimited by the years 1997 and 2007 for the premiership of Tony Blair, and years 2007 and 2010 for the premiership of Gordon Brown. The thesis'goal is to discover if and how did the main focus of the immigration policy towards non-European immigrants has changed, in spite of the same party in charge and if the restrictiveness or openness of the country towards non- European immigration has changed as well. There are three research criteria, regulations of entry, control mechanisms and naturalisation, which are used for determining this in the thesis. Based on the analysis and comparison of data in both cases, it can be determined that the immigration policy focus has changed partially, and the restrictiveness has been growing since Gordon Brown has become the Prime Minister. These differences between the two Prime Ministers seem to be caused by the socioeconomic...
