AUC IURIDICA

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Iuridica (AUC Iuridica) is a legal journal published since 1955, which presents longer essays as well as short articles on topics relevant for legal theory and international, European and Czech law. It also publishes works concerning current legislative problems.

Although intended primarily for domestic audience, AUC Iuridica is useful also for foreign experts, who can take advantage of summaries in foreign languages (English, German and French) and key words, which are systematically added to the main articles and essays.

The published articles are subject to peer reviews. If necessary, reviewed texts are sent back to the author for revision.

AUC Iuridica accepts contributions from any contributor on any current legal topic.

The journal is registered in the Czech National Bibliography (kept by the National Library of the Czech Republic) and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (kept by the American Association of Law Libraries).

The journal is archived in Portico.

abstract

The short study on the Austrian Integration Act 2017 does not focus on the link between the Austrian Integration Act 2017 and the sanctions directly or indirectly linked to its violation based on other laws in effect in Austria, but on the understanding of the concept and term of “integration” with the help of analyzing the means of providing for “integration”. It is shown that the definition of integration clearly expresses a monoculturalist approach as opposed to a multiculturalist, both in the understanding of the theory of Bhikhu Parekh, and results from a multitude of cultural communities in Austria as a consequence of migration processes. The definition of integration addresses these groups from the point of view of their integration into the Austrian society. It does not deal with obligations or behavior on the other side, the side of the receiving society. It, thus, is a desideratum for a sustainable approach to adapt the measures for and policies of integration to its underlining concept which says that integration is a “reciprocal process”. In order to be successful, the role of both sides should be considered.
