Provincial Involvement in Canadian Immigration Policy Making: The Case of Ontario
Georgievová, Olga ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
Asymmetry and executive federalism are two unique features that dominate the Canadian political landscape. As a result, federal and provincial governments are in direct negotiations over many current public policy issues, immigration policy notwithstanding. In order to understand the current immigration debate and to evaluate the benefits of greater provincial involvement, it is first necessary to comprehend what motivates provinces to be active in immigration policy-making. Ontario presents an interesting example of a province that used to be quite content with leaving the federal government dominant in the immigration arena but that has recently changed its attitude completely: Ontario is now much more assertive in presenting its demands. Through a comprehensive literature review and a series of interviews of key immigration policy figures, this study analyzes the main motives of Ontario with respect to immigration policy. It finds that they were primarily of economic, demographic, and political nature and that they were mainly connected to the relative decline of Ontario's position within Canada.
Limits of Cooperative Federalism: Role of Federal Government and Individual States in the United States Immigration Policy
Georgievová, Olga ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Limits of Cooperative Federalism: Role of Federal Government and Individual States in the United States Immigration Policy" examines the separation of powers between the federal government and individual states of the United States immigration policy. The onset describes the particular characteristics of American federal system and its two main concepts: dual and cooperative federalism. It then addresses the issue of immigration policy which is traditionally one of the areas in which the principles of dual federalism are applied. The paper aims to show, that the federal government is not capable of effectively solving the problems arising both form legal and illegal immigration and that it is therefore necessary to adopt an immigration reform based on the principles of cooperative federalism. Only better cooperation between both levels of government (federal and state) can help to solve the issue. Adoption of such a reform is however currently highly difficult - this paper strives to explain why and propose possible solution.
