This diploma thesis is analysing society in the United Kingdom during the '60s. The United Kingdom today is seen as multicultural society with open and positive approach to immigrants from all different parts of the World. The first wave of immigrants arrived right after the WWII. These first immigrants were coming to the United Kingdom from all parts of the British Empire. Mainly from India, Pakistan and Caribbean. The situation changed during the '60s. Despite the fact that number of the immigrants was not too high, the new laws were introduced to stop immigration from non-European countries. My initial hypothesis: In the post war period the UK impeded the free immigration to the country. How the United Kingdom treated the immigrants during the '60s? What was the proportion of immigrants of the total population? I would like to lay emphasis on the analysis of the government steps, the responsible ministries and mood changes in the society. One chapter is devoted to the analysis of the situation in London. Which is an exceptional area with a high number of immigrants. The situation in the UK will be a part of comparison with selected countries of Western Europe. This is to show the difference between the British approach during the period. The aim of this thesis is to look for the reasons why the United Kingdom applied a different approach to immigrants compare to Western Europe during the '60s and to highlight the main aspects of the changes in attitudes towards immigrants.

Depuis les années 1990, le phénomène de mondialisation a transformé les espaces urbains. Les villes se repositionnent en relais et pivots compétitifs de réseaux mondialisés. De plus, le phénomène de métropolisation coïncide avec une nouvelle économie urbaine pour susciter une patrimonialisation urbaine qui transforme les villes en destinations touristiques. Cependant, la relation entre mondialisation, métropolisation et touristification est rarement articulée en une réflexion singulière. En outre, les recherches ont privilégié des villes européennes et américaines, inscrivant une perspective occidentale à des dynamiques mondiales. Les études de villes non-occidentales, notamment du sud-est asiatique restent relativement marginales. La proposition de cette étude est de s’intéresser aux dynamiques du tourisme et de la métropolisation à Kuala Lumpur. La capitale malaisienne, à la fois modèle urbain et multiculturel, a l’ambition de devenir une ville d’influence « globale » malgré des contradictions que les composantes du tourisme mettent en relief. Les pratiques de la ville et ses représentations renvoient à des critères qualitatifs, d’urbanité et de mise en scène urbaine, auquel le tourisme participe. L’analyse de la métropole cosmopolite, avec des lieux-mondes, connectés à d’autres métropoles, navigue entre échelles locales et globales. Cette recherche s’organise en trois parties. Les fondements théoriques sont revus dans une première partie, avant de s’intéresser plus spécifiquement aux spécificités de Kuala Lumpur dans la deuxième partie. La dernière partie s’interroge sur les dynamiques du projet urbain face à la touristification dans une perspective multiscalaire. / Since the 1990’s, the globalization phenomenon has transformed urban spaces. Cities are repositioned as competitive pivotal nodes in globalized networks. Moreover, the metropolization phenomenon coincides with a new urban economy that activates a growing commodification of cities thus becoming tourism destinations. However, the relationship between globalization, metropolization and touristification is seldom articulated in a singular reflection. Besides, academic research has focused on European and American cities, giving it a much Western perspective to global dynamics. Studies on non-Western cities, especially in Southeast Asia remain relatively marginal. The proposal of this study is to look at the dynamics of tourism and the metropolisation in Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian capital, appears to be both an urban and a multicultural model, aims at becoming a "global" city despite its contradictions mirrored through the tourism components. The practices of the city and its representations refer to urbanity, branding and qualitative criteria, in which tourism plays a key role. The analysis of the cosmopolitan metropolis, with global enclaves, connected to other cities, navigates between local and global scales. This research is organized into three parts. The theoretical underpinnings are reviewed in the first part, then, in the second part the focus moves on to the context of Kuala Lumpur. The last part addresses the urban project dynamics in the light of the touristification through a multiscalar perspective.

O modo particular de apreensão do mundo e práticas diversificadas relativas a vários grupos sociais devem ser considerados no planejamento e na execução de programas ambientais e de saúde. O estudo de caso no município de São Sebastião busca a expressividade de questões ambientais na política pública de saúde. A formação de um quadro referencial a partir desta pesquisa focaliza o governo estadual na gestão 86-90, os municípios e a percepção que a população tem dos serviços de saúde. A percepção da população e gerentes do sistema de saúde, associada à observação participante e dados oficiais, foi analisada através de 819 questionários e 29 histórias de vida, em 2 regiões de saúde e 6 municípios. A população indígena aparece como alteridade. A percepção dos médicos no município de São Sebastião foi pesquisada com 19 questionários estruturados incluindo 55% dos profissionais. Os dados traçam o mapa do papel da cultura nas políticas públicas de saúde frente á crise mundial dos anos 90 e dos paradigmas da ciência. A ciência ambiental aparece com destaque nesta discussão e suas dúvidas epistemológicas têm afinidade com o cenário conceitual na epidemiologia. As questões da ética são centrais e este reflexo é locus privilegiado no diagnóstico de saúde de uma população. A pretensão da pesquisa é evidenciar a importância da interdisciplinaridade, da participação democrática nas decisões, da diversidade cultural e do saber. / The particular approach about the world and cultural practices must be considered in planning health programs. The case study in São Sebastião is about environmental issues in public health policies. The frame of reference from this research focuses on the state government in the management 86-90, municipalities and the perception that people have of health services. The perception of the people and managers of the public health system, associated with participant observation and official documents, was analyzed by 819 questionnaires and 29 life histories in 2 health regions and 6 municipalities. The indigenous people appear as otherness. The perception of doctors in São Sebastião was investigated with 19 structured questionnaires including 55% of professionals. The role of culture in public health policies will face the global crisis of the 90s and the paradigms of science. Environmental science features prominently in this discussion and epistemological questions have an affinity with the conceptual approach in epidemiology. The ethical issues are central and that reflection is a privileged locus for the diagnosis of population health. The aim is demonstrate the importance of democratic participation in decision making, interdisciplinary, knowledge and cultural diversity.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the integration policy in Sweden. The nation is known for its generous migration policy, which is why a lot of people choose to move to Sweden.  It is paramount that the immigrants become accustomed to and integrated into the Swedish society. For that reason, it becomes relevant to investigate the view of integration policy of the two of Sweden's largest parties, namely the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats.  The various philosophies and principles of the parties hereby make it important to research the view of integration of the Social Democrats and the Swedish Democrats. By employing idea analysis in a comparative case study setting, we aim to analyze the integration strategies of both parties. Throughout the following work, focus lies on multiculturalism and assimilation. The aim is to investigate whether similar or different integration steps are being taken by the parties. The analysis uses the party programs of both parties, numerous party bills, and party congresses. The Social Democrats pursue a perspective of multiculturalism, while the Swedish Democrats follow a perspective of assimilation. Thus, the study concludes that the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats follow different views on integration policy.

In this thesis the cultural preservation of the Navajo Nation is analyzed through a multicultural and assimilation framework. The Navajo Nation is a case study in this research. A policy analysis is used in this thesis and analyses policies in three proxy categories of culture: education, land ownership, and self-governance. The main policies analyzed in this thesis are the current (federal) policies regarding education, land ownership, and self-governance. Current means the policies that are in place and in effect today. This thesis also analyses past policies in order to create a foundation. It further analyzes these policies to examine the outcomes and implications of the policies on the cultural preservation of the Navajo Nation. Gerd Baumann’s theories on culture, Kymlicka’s liberal multiculturalism, Margalit and Halbertal’s communitarian multiculturalism, and assimilation are used as the theoretical framework of this thesis. The findings cannot be generalized. Some policies have the outcome that was intended whereas other policies have the opposite outcomes of what was intended in the policy. Thus, multicultural policies do not necessarily have a multicultural outcome, sometimes the outcomes of the policy can have an opposite outcome of what the nature of the policy is.
