How Does One Become a True Italian? The Struggle of Second Generation Immigrants to Change the Italian Citizenship Law.
Fejerová, Eva ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to examine the phenomenon of second-generation immigrant associations in Italy and focuses on their efforts to change the 1992 Citizenship Law between 2005 and 2014. The goal of the thesis is to determine whether the style of their argumentation is nationalistic or multicultural. The nationalistic style would point to their identification with Italy as a classical nation state, reflecting an acceptance of Italy's autostereotypes. The multicultural argumentation style would show that their primary frame of reference is the culture of their parents' country of origin and reflect a desire to see Italian society transformed according to multicultural principles, where all cultures are equally respected and esteemed. Christian Joppke's theory of three-dimensional citizenship (status, rights, identity) serves as an instrument for research. Anne-Marie Thiesse's national identity checklist serves as a guideline for distinguishing between nationalistic and post-nationalistic argumentation style. The analysis shows that the dimension these associations refer to the most is identity, which they use to prove their "Italianicity." They conduct their argumentation in a very classical nationalistic style, using themes such as Italian language, national territory, and national cuisine....

Tools of integration policy towards the 2nd generation of immigrants: Danish experience
Jeřábková, Anežka ; Šánová, Lucie (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
The primary aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce an approach of Denmark to incorporation of descendants of immigrants from non-Western countries into society through the integration policy, and to further evaluate this policy. Concerning such matter, it should be established whether it is possible to transfer some of the Danish experience with the integration of second generation immigrants to the conditions and environment in the Czech Republic. Both countries are therefore initially compared, especially regarding their immigration history, current situation, government policies and structure of institutions dealing with immigration and integration. Then thesis further examines Danish integration policy for the descendants of immigrants, its basic objectives and means of implementation. Additionally, some of the tools that have been proven successful are described. In conclusion, it is possible to state that Denmark can serve as an inspiration for the whole integration process, rather than to use only some of its unique tools separately. For open and rigorous approach to the integration of children of immigrants, Denmark remains one of the leading countries in promoting intercultural dialogue throughout the society.
