Syrian refugees: Humanitarian Calamity
• Why Syrians? Present topic, totally different attitudes within the EU.
• Conflict in Syria: from March 2011 until now. “Humanitarian calamity of the century” (UNHCR High Commissioner 2013)
• 2,7 million of Syrian refugees especially in Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt
• 340 000 asylum seeker in 2012 in the EU, mainly from Syria and Russian Federation (UNHCR 2014)
• Why the Czech Republic?
• increasing number of migrants
• critique by international NGOs
• Why Sweden? !
• 100 000 migrants/year, 15% of Swedish inhabitants are migrants. In 2013 1000 asylum seeker from Syria/month
• 1st country to offer asylum to migrants from Syria: “Every asylum seeker from Syria, who applies for asylum in Sweden, will be granted asylum” - Annie Hörnblad, spokeswoman of Ministry of Migration and Asylum Policy

Research design!
• Research Question: What are both similarities and differences among migration and asylum policy systems of the Czech Republic and Sweden?!
• Additional question: Which aspects of Swedish migration and asylum policy can be integrated into the Czech migration policy? Under which conditions can they be integrated? (practically oriented research)
• Method: comparative method, a systematic analysis of similarities and contrast among a small number of cases.
• Cases: Low level of abstraction (Sartori 1970)
• Form of comparison (Pelinka 2005): real category, in national space and in heterogenous context
• Time frame: synchronic comparison, starting in March 2011 on the eve of “Syrian revolution” and ending now, spring 2014
• Examination of migration policy as the analysis of political content
• Subjects of comparison: needs and the political problems, conception/program, goals, management, evaluation/outcomes (according to Ackerman 1995)

Theoretical background and sources
• Subjects of comparison: - needs and the political problems, conception/program, goals, management, evaluation/outcomes
• It is important to:
• 1.fully understand the logic, process and models of public policy as a complex round of cycles: Easton’s system theory in political science, W. Dunn: Public Policy Analysis - An Introduction
• 2. understand the conceptualization and securitization of migration: a) R. Lohrnmann: Migrant, Refugees and Insecurity: Current Threats to Peace?; b) M. Ibrahim: The Securitization of Migration: A Racial Discourse c) T. Balzacq: Security Practices
• 3. Analytical thinking and comparative analysis of security policy
• Sources: Official governmental documents as national strategies and conceptual documents, legal codes, online journals and decent daily news, NGOs' reports etc.

Step n.1: Needs and Problems - conceptualization of migration • definition of migration and asylum in the Czech Republic
and in Sweden
• securitization of migration by politics and media: migrants as threats to stability and welfare as public order, cultural identity, domestic political stability, labour market
• correlation with criminality, ethnic unrest, social unrest, threat of islamic fundamentalism
• normalizes derogations from human rights standards, number of deaths by drowing etc.

Conclusion draft• I will understand and explain what are both similarities and
differences among migration and asylum policy systems of the Czech Republic and Sweden!
• In a wider context I will be able to answer the additional questions: Which aspects of Swedish migration and asylum policy can be integrated into the Czech migration policy? Under which conditions can they be integrated?
• economic rational model vs. critical security studies (different historical approach to migration, different form of migration etc.)
• I will think about the limitations to the comparison
