Abstract
The relationship between the state and foreign employees is mediated by governmental policies, i.e. by a set of measures and actions implemented by a government in regard to foreign employees. The paper examines these measures and this relationship in the German case. A brief review is given on the arrival of foreign employees, including Croats, to Germany. In the following part of the paper the author examines the various phases of governmental policy in Germany from the 1950s to the 1980s, as well as the new Law on Foreigners. The said law is totally oriented towards the integration of foreigners in Germany and the stoppage of new flows of foreign labour to the country. These two determinants, which have been a part of German governmental policy from the late 1970s, are still the basis of today's policy in Germany in regard to foreigners.
