Turkish Migration Policy

Turkish Migration Policy

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: migration; migration law; Turkish migration; citizenship

"With this book, we aim to shed light on changes in migration policy, determinants beneath these changes, and practical implications for movers and non-movers in Turkey. Nevertheless, one should note that Turkey has only recently faced mass immigration and the number of foreign born has more than doubled in less than five years. Such sudden change in population composition warrants policy adjustments and reviews. Policy shift from “exporting excess labour” in the 1960s and 1970s to immigrant integration today is a drastic but necessary one. Nevertheless, Turkish migration policy is still far from settled as several chapters in this book point out. Despite the exemplary humanitarian engagement in admitting Syrians, Turkey is still at the bottom of the league table of favourable integration policies with an overall score of 25 out of 100. Turkish migration policy is likely to be adjusted further in response to the continuing immigration."CONTENT PDF Foreword - Philip L Martin Introduction - Barbara Pusch and Ibrahim Sirkeci Chapter 1: The Transformation and Europeanization of Migration Policy in Turkey: Multiculturalism, Republicanism and Alignment - Bianca Kaiser and Ayhan Kaya Chapter 2: Turkey’s migration law and policy: is it a new era? - Ali Zafer SagirogluChapter 3: Gendered citizenship: Experiences and perceptions of the Bulgarian Turkish immigrant women - Özge Kaytan Chapter 4: European Union and Turkish migration policy reform: from accession to policy conditionality - Birce DemiryontarChapter 5: The international migration and foreign policy nexus: the case of Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey - Ela Gökalp Aras and Zeynep Sahin Mencutek Chapter 6: Stuck in the Aegean: Syrians leaving Turkey face European barriers - H.

Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain

Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain

Author(s): Bradley Saunders / Language(s): English

Keywords: human resource management; UK; London; immigrant;Eastern Europe;

The UK’s offer of immediate free access to A8 workers resulted in a larger-than-expected influx of A8 migrants to the UK, which caused a public backlash and heated debates over the benefits and costs of large-scale immigration. Much has been written about the political and economic impact of this influx. This book focuses instead on the complex interweaving factors affecting the work and non-work lives of skilled migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their work experience, skills and interests. The focus on the European context addresses the need for a better understanding of contemporary labour mobility within the EU. The important, though often neglected, perspective of individuals who take on work below their level forms the focus of this book. In-depth interviews analyse the lived experiences of migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their qualifications and experience."Having spent approximately half my life away from my home country, it is perhaps not surprising that I chose to examine the lives of others who made similar decisions. A culture of migration runs in the family. I have met many others who also left their home country’s shores. Whether these were academics from London or labourers from Lahore, my conversations with them made me reflect on and question our life choices and experiences. Why had we decided to leave one country and move to another? Was there something different about us compared to our peers who did not make such a move?"

Keywords: EU migration; gender; immigrants; migration; Paolo Ruspini; Switzerland;

This book includes a selection of papers written in the last ten years (2009-2019) in affiliation to Swiss academic institutions. They have been updated and edited for this publication.

They come from the Sub-Saharan African region as well as Western and Eastern Europe presently living on the European continent. Paolo Ruspini is a political scientist who has been researching issues of international and European migration and integration since 1997 with a comparative approach and by drawing on mixed methods. His current research deals with transnational migration from a theoretical and empirical perspective.

Art of Displacement

Art of Displacement

Author(s): Giovanni Perillo / Language(s): English

Keywords: art; migration; displacement; skin colour; Italy;refugees;

In his artistic research, Giovanni Perillo aims to generate conflicts with oneself, to weaken certainties, stereotypes and rigid expectations, encouraging a dialogue to express one’s reflections on the real freedom of one’s choices and on the possible influences that they imply. Through a détourner, a displacement, a deviation from alienating cultural mechanisms, aesthetic experimentation can become practical for a transformation towards a different self-awareness.“Taking the cue from the theory of events, I started to research stimuli and creative interaction processes through my artistic investigation and production. The stimuli had to be able to arouse behaviours and interpretations that are far from conformist and pre-established models.The interpretations, as answers to a stimulus coming from reality, are the significant consequences of the sense and vision of reality.The conventional and conformist interpretations form the specific psychological structure of a culture, and for this reason, they are its identity.If the reactions of the individuals who interact with artwork were not spontaneous, heterogeneous or unpredictable, they would show the homogenized and homogenizing game of taking part to practices where roles and goals of the playe

Politics and Law in Turkish Migration

Politics and Law in Turkish Migration

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Germany; Turkey; migrations; immigration; politics; political background; political representation; identity; law on immigration; foreigners; media; social media;

Increasingly more scholars and analysts argue that migration controls are deemed to fail simply because of the dynamic nature of human mobility. Nevertheless, migration remains to be a hot topic on political agenda as well as a key area of legislation. Turkey has recently implemented some serious structural changes through a new law of migration and creation of a specialist central general directorate responsible for handling almost anything and everything about migrants and foreigners in the country. On the other hand, politics and political participation of the Turks abroad is part and parcel of the integration debates strongly shaping the mainstream politics of immigration countries in Europe and beyond. This book offers a number of research accounts investigating the political participation and integration, new legislations, and implications of policy and law on migration practices.

Keywords: methodology; sociology; anthropology; migrations; qualitative methods; narrative method; biographical method; visual method; multi-methods; identity; children; young researchers mobility;

This edited collection published in Migration Letters were selected to reflect on methodological challenges faced by researchers and students when conducting qualitative studies on migration. Beginning with papers focusing on broader discussions of methodological issues and some options available to researchers, the latter half of the book explores the narrative methodology in depth with references to several cases. The chapters included in this book was originally published in regular issues and two special issues of Migration Letters journal from 2009 onwards. We have regrouped and ordered these studies to enhance the flow and transition in the book. The first six chapters look into more general issues and debates in migration research methodologies, while chapters seven to ten offer cases studies on alternative qualitative methodologies and then the final six chapters focus on narratives and challenges of the narrative methodology applied in migration studies.

Recent Migrations and Refugees in the MENA Region

Recent Migrations and Refugees in the MENA Region

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: MENA region; Turkey; Hatay; Syria; refugees; education; politics; socioeconomic aspects; student migration; labor migrations; youth refugees; UNHCR; security;

While numerous studies have investigated the multifaceted nature of the Syrian refugee crisis across the Middle East, Europe and beyond, further academic studies are necessary to unpack the complex and multilevel narratives of the Syrian refugee crisis, particularly the roles and effects of national and domestic politics, labour market and social integration, and future policy discourses related to the Syrian refugees in the refugee-hosting countries. With this edited book, we seek to fill this particular gap by contributing to the current empirical, theoretical, and policy discourses on migration and refugee studies using evidenced-based political, economic, and social insights that have policy consequences on the Syrian refugee crisis across geographic refugee-hosting communities in the Middle East.  Content INTRODUCTION Rania M. Rafik Khalil and Froilan T.

Writings on Migration and Cultural Studies

Göç Üzerine Yazın ve Kültür İncelemeleri

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish

Keywords: Turkey; Germany; Russia; literature; language exchange; culture transfer; interculturality; migration; immigration;

Ali Tilbe and Sonel Bosnian breathe new life into Turkish migration studies and generally related writing. 13 articles examining immigration, immigration, immigration and related themes in summer and cultural areas offer important and interesting contributions to the field. Migration can be considered voluntary migration in a way, as it is carried out by the individual or the community's own decision. In some cases, however, the necessity of leaving the individual or the community and living elsewhere can be imposed as a political sanction. The first of these cases, called mandatory migration, is the one described as "exile" and "sat outside a certain place or in a certain place as punishment". It is very important for us to better understand the phenomenon of migration, and to examine this important phenomenon, which is synonymous with such people and concerning all aspects of human life, culturally and especially in writing. In this review, we bring together a series of summer review studies with readers on the axis of migration phenomenon. Early versions of the studies in this review cover the papers presented at the Turkish Migration Conference at the University of Vienna. The Migration Conference in Vienna in 2016 was on the campus of Harokopio University in Athens in 2017.

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish

Keywords: Latin America; Spain; Mexico; Texas; migration; labor relations; migration policy; economic policy; health; welfare systems; Venezuelan Immigrants; United States; Canada; Ecuador; transnational migrant communities; migrants returning;

Migration as a process has countless approaches and edges to study, from forced migration caused by war, failed states or natural disasters, to the migration of retirees to paradisiacal sites in order to improve quality older adults' lives. However, the bulk of migration studies persist in analyzing and clarifying labour force migration from the economic south to the north. In this sense, the present book "Human Mobility in Latin America; new patterns, new challenges" implies a serious effort on the part of publishers to bring new discussions to human mobility from multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary, so that, the reader will find a series of ten articles that address the problem of migration in Latin America, as an expulsion region of migrants, but always attending to the object of study in a rigorous and new way.

Eastern Border of Turkey: Migrants and migration in Agri and Erzurum

Türkiye'nin Doğu Sınırı: Ağrı ve Erzurum'da Göçmenler ve Göç Süreçleri

Author(s): Yıldız Akpolat,Kerem Karabulut,Dilek Özdemir,Songül Gül,Özlem Topçuoğlu,Güray Alpar,Abdullah Cengiz Kayış / Language(s): Turkish

Keywords: Turkey; migration; eastern border; Agri; Erzurum; socio-economic evaluation; Syria; immigrants; harmonization process;

Prof. Dr. Yıldız Akpolat öncülüğünde hazırlanmış bu kitap Türkiye’ye Doğu sınırı üzerinden girişlerin çok büyük çoğunlukta kaçak yollarla yapıldığı, gelen göçmenlerin çoğunluğun Afgan kökenli, erkek, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi düşük, mesleği olmayan ya da niteliksiz işlerde çalışan kişilerden oluştuğu dikkat çekmek-tedir. Göçmenlerin, gerek göç yollarında ve gerekse de Türkiye’de bulundukları “yerlerde” birçok sorun yaşadıkları anlaşılmaktadır. Ekonomik faktörler göçün itici bir gücü olarak, göç etme nedenlerinde ön plana çıkmıştır. Türkiye’nin göç veren bir ülke olmasının yanında, göç alan bir ülke konumuna geldiği; ayrıca, özellikle de Doğu sınırından gelen göçmenler açısından hedef ülke” olmasının yanında, transit ülke olarak görüldüğü söylenebilir. Ancak Türkiye’nin yaptığı uluslararası anlaşmalar neticesinde Türkiye’nin gelen göçmen için transit ülke olmaktan ziyade baraj ülke konumuna geldiği anlaşılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Türkiye açısından güvenlik sorunları başta olmak üzere, diğer göçten kaynaklı sorunların bertaraf edilmesinin tek bir kurumun değil, ancak birçok kurum ve sivil toplumun koordinasyonuyla mümkün olacağı öneril-mektedir.

La pandemia ocasionada por el COVID-19 causó mucho estrés y cambió nuestro trabajo y vida privada para siempre. Dado el volumen de casos infectados y el número de muertos desde marzo de 2020, la pandemia afectó prácticamente la vida de todos de una forma u otra. Hemos visto a amigos y familiares enfermarse y ser hospitalizados, así como a algunos que han visto lo peor. Las universidades y la profesión docente e investigadora en general cambiaron para siempre y ya está claro que no hay vuelta atrás. La “nueva normalidad” difícilmente se parecerá a lo que recordamos haber hecho hace un año. Las Conferencias sobre Migración comenzaron en el año 2011 y este año (2020), se suponía que íbamos a reunirnos en Tetovo, Macedonia para disfrutar de la investigación de los demás y celebrar con excelentes bebidas en las faldas de la montaña Šar y sobre el río Pena. Sin embargo, tuvimos que conformarnos con el árido espacio virtual ofrecido por MS Teams. Es probable que a partir de ahora utilicemos más de estos espacios virtuales pero la sensación generalizada es que lo virtual está lejos de reemplazar los encuentros e intercambios presenciales que solíamos disfrutar durante los últimos 9 años. Ojalá podamos encontrarnos en un lugar agradable para continuar con nuestra tradición de una “buena conferencia para gente agradable y por gente agradable”. Esperamos que los participantes del TMC2020 hayan disfrutado del evento a pesar de las deficiencias tecnológicas y las dificultades causadas por las diferencias horarias.

On Migration and Religion

Göç ve Din Üzerine

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish

Keywords: Danish Turks; religion; Euro-Turks; migration; immigrants; sectarian; Muslims; Turkish diaspora;

Göçün birçok yönden insan hayatı üzerinde etkisi bulunmaktadır. Göç eden insan, tüm hayatını değiştirmeye niyet etmekte, yeni bir hayata başlamayı göze almaktadır. Yeni çevrenin değişik şartları, orada edinilen kazanımlar ve tecrübeler, önceki yerleşik geleneksel dinî inanış, değer, norm, pratik ve adetlerin zamanla kaçınılmaz bir biçimde etkilenmesine hatta değişim ve dönüşümüne yol açabilmektedir. Öyle ki, göç süreciyle farklı kültürler, sosyal katmanlar ve insanlar karşı karşıya gelebilmekte, bu karşılaşma da beraberinde pek çok çatışma ve sorunlara zemin hazırlayabilmektedir. Bu kitap, göçün ve göçmen olma durumunun özellikle dinsel inanç ve yaşam tecrübesi üzerindeki yansımalarını konu edinmektedir. Bu kapsamda, on bölümden oluşan bu çalışmada, her bir bölüm kendi araştırma ekseninde göç ve din hususunu farklı boyutlarıyla ele almakta ve tartışmaktadır.
