This thesis is dealing with environmental migration resulting from the planned use of the territory, i.e. development displacement or resettlement. The aim of this thesis is to describe this process, to promote its understanding and to analyze its causes and consequences on people and communities. Academic literature dealing with development displacement in general was used together with many case studies.

Diploma thesis focuses on integration policies in the Netherlands and Canada since 1970' s till nowadays. Both countries are well known for implementing multiculturalism. Canada has become the only country that through Multiculturalism Act claimed official support for multiculturalism policy and is still doing so even recently when this model is being refused by most of the other countries. Such a situation developed in the Netherlands which became an example of a failure of multiculturalism. However multiculturalism was of a different kind in each of those countries and so was the final form of integration policies. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse similarities and differences in both integration policies and to find relevant factors that impacted their failure in the Netherlands and their success in Canada. Diploma thesis describes the basic milestones in the development of integration policies and changes in the respective time period. It also points out the main differences in the concept of multiculturalism in the Netherlands and Canada and tries to explain it on the historical, state building, national identity and multiculture background.

This thesis focuses on different forms of national identity of the first generation Czech migrants in Vienna from the perspective of transnational theory. It is based on analysis of thematically oriented biographical interviews with the group of 15 immigrants. The data come from research conducted in spring 2015 in Vienna. Firstly, the thesis summarizes the history of migration from Czechoslovakia to Austria. Secondly, the concepts of transnationalism, identity and transnational identity are explained as they serve as theoretical basis for the research methodology and analysis of data. First part of analysis explores topics important for decision, whether it is possible to designate the migrants as transnationals. These topics and practices include language, relation toward Czech Republic, political participation, interest in culture, traditions, gastronomy, social contacts, discrimination and loyalty, feelings of pride and shame and citizenship. The second part of analysis introduces the different forms of national identity based on self-understanding of migrants. Following this, the examples of respondents and organisations show the transnational identity of some of them which is based on their lived identity and everyday practices.

This thesis brings to you a salient theme: Private for-Profit News Media (Print and Broadcast; irrespective of the platform on which it is disseminated) based on an interesting topic: Migration in order to explore theoretically and empirically how to model the social impact of the existence of media in a given socio-political, economic, legal and cultural context namely the United States of America and the United Kingdom at a given period: Year 2015. The study of media in policy studies has been a relatively neglected area in the past and as a student of Public and Social Policy one finds this a most suitable opportunity to do otherwise. Media's role in today's society can be explored from two angles: (1) Media as a tool, a mediator, a conduit and (2) Media as an actor, a regulator, a contributor and this thesis will focus on the latter as it is more important to understand the dynamic role played by this actor named: 'The Media'. The scope of this thesis is three fold: (1) it seeks to analyse media's relationship with the State, Market and Civic sector based on the hypothesis that it is in fact a prominent regulator among the key actors, (2) it seeks to explore media's presence in the policy cycle based on the theory that it is certainly pervasive and (3) it seeks to examine the impact of media in...

The diploma thesis " Violence as a part of migrants' experience and the possible solutions of it" deals with the issue of violence committed against migrants during their stay in the Czech Republic. The aim of the work is to identify the most common types of violence that foreigners encounter with during their stay, to examine existing methods for solving the problem and to present own proposals for solving the problem from the perspective of a migrant living in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part defines the concept of violence and focuses on its division. A significant part is devoted to the description of the current system of assistance to migrants in today's Czech Republic. The experience with the integration of foreigners in Western European countries is also described in this part. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the existing types of violence with which migrants in the Czech Republic most often encounter. The research is performed using qualitative data analysis. The group of respondents consists of five migrants living in the Czech Republic, who have not obtained the Czech citizenship yet. The conclusion of the thesis is a presentation of existing methods for solving the problem of violence against migrants on the one hand, and a presentation of own proposals for consideration...

Integration of Immigrants in Europe: An example of African Immigrants in the Czech Republic This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of the integration of African immigrants in Europe by the case study example of the Czech Republic. The following procedure was chosen to achieve this goal; firstly to briefly introduce African migration in the Czech Republic in the context of migration to Europe and integration of foreigners in the Czech Republic, secondly to analyze the integration of African immigrants into the Czech Republic, and thirdly to evaluate the contribution of Czech institutions to the smooth integration.

It also focused mainly on the population living in the Czech Republic for a long time, usually over ten years, partly with the citizenship of the Czech Republic. Men predominated in the sample, just as they predominate in the African population in the Czech Republic. Emphasis was placed primarily on structural integration,...
