Summary/Abstract: This chapter scrutinizes the historical forms of managing migration and diversity in Turkey, as well as the development of the Europeanization process of Turkey’s migration policy. We argue that managing diversity in Turkey can be historicized in three epochs: Ottoman multiculturalism, Turkish republicanism, and the contemporary model of Europeanization. Turkey has so far witnessed both multiculturalist and republican forms of integration being implemented respectively by the Ottoman state and the modern Turkish state.
