This work attempts to analyze causes of divergent transposition of the Blue Card directive, regulating the conditions of immigration of highly-skilled workers from third countries, between individual EU Member States. The differences are analyzed on two levels. Firstly, in terms of timeliness and correctness of transposition, secondly, from a perspective of a different manner of transposition of the discretionary clauses entailed in the Blue Card directive (whether the Member States opted for an open or for a restrictive way of transposition of these provisions). Scholarly literature about transposition compliance and highly-silled immigration policies creates the foundation, by means of which the author identifies several variables and articulates hypotheses aiming at providing explanation of the divergent transposition of the directive in the respective Member States. The author classifies the Member States in groups and clusters according to their transposition performance and its results embody a point of departure for a subsequent analysis. From each group, certain number of countries is selected for a detailed country-level analysis in order to ensure universality and geographical representativeness of the outcomes. To review how the individual hypotheses confirmed in the Member States, the...

<p>This thesis discusses the recent change in EU’s immigration policy. EU’s restrictive policies may be changed by the two proposals, COM(2007)637 and COM(2007)638, presented in October 2007. These proposals were formed during a process in which representatives from the African Union (AU) were present in discussions about migration. Using official documents from EU and AU, we study this inter-regional interaction process with the English School theories of “international society” and with a Social Constructivist ontological model describing the relationship between agents, structure and institutions/regimes. We find that the proposal changes the trans-regional migration regime, and by extension the structure and the trans-regional world order. This will probably lead to an increase in the number of African labour immigrants in the EU, which may enlarge the trans-regional “world society” and, in turn, the inter-regional “international society”.</p>

Green card is a new type of residence permit within the territory of the Czech republic designed for foreigners from selected third countries. It entitles its holder to residence as well as work. The concept functions in the Czech republic since 1.1.2009. This thesis sets the Czech project of green cards into wilder context of the immigration policy of the EU and examines whether Czech green cards are compatible with similar system of EU blue cards which is not yet running on but it is in process of approval. The thesis also investigates if there are similar systems already working in other EU member states and compares Czech green cards to selected systems of green cards of Germany and Denmark. It also deals with the question whether the Czech system has so far been successful, what are its strengths, weaknesses and prospects of the future.

69 Abstract The main goal of the diploma thesis "Employment of foreigners" is to summarize and critically evaluate the current legislation regarding the employment of foreigners in the Czech Republic, both for foreigners from countries which are not Member States of the European Union and also employment of citizens of the European Union since a separate regime applies to each of these groups under the Czech law. The thesis itself is divided into the introduction, four main chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter defines the most important legal terms which are crucial for the elaboration of the thesis, i.e. in particular a foreigner - as a general term as well as the legal definition stipulated in the Act on Residence of Foreign Nationals in the Czech Republic, a family member of an EU citizen or a Czech citizen respectively, an employee, an employer and employment. The second chapter deals with the current legal status and concept of employment of foreigners in the Czech Republic with focus on individual types of residence permits, types of individual work permits as well as on employers' obligations and necessary steps when employing EU citizens or foreigners in the Czech Republic. The third chapter defines the term "illegal work" and deals with its impact on the Czech environment, not only from a...

Les objectifs de cette recherche sont de comprendre comment se déroule lélaboration de la politique dimmigration de travail dans le cadre européen et comment sest développé un discours favorable à une nouvelle immigration de travail en Europe. La recherche est basée principalement sur des entretiens semi-structurés avec des acteurs des institutions européennes et de la société civile européenne et un corpus documentaire. Lanalyse des différentes phases du processus de policy-making européen montre dune part, comment émerge un discours européen dans le chef de la Commission européenne qui rompt avec le discours public dominant de fermeture à limmigration de travail et qui défend une approche communautaire de cette immigration et dautre part, comment ce discours évolue et se transforme pour développer une stratégie dapproche différenciée de limmigration de travail permettant un changement de politique publique qui se matérialise par ladoption de la Directive dite de la « carte bleue » et une entrouverture de l'UE à l'immigration de travail. La thèse démontre que la Commission cherche avant tout à se positionner comme acteur supranational et à renforcer ses compétences. Elle démontre aussi que la reconnaissance du caractère continu et durable des migrations reste inégale au niveau des différents acteurs européens et leur tendance à préférer limmigration de travail temporaire. Enfin, elle montre aussi que la résolution du paradoxe qui consiste à privilégier limmigration provisoire tout en exigeant des immigrants des qualités de permanence se manifeste en privilégiant ladmission de catégories spécifiques de migrants présumés pré-intégrés ou en transformant lintégration en condition dadmission.
