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.

Image of Istanbul, Impact of ECOC 2010 on the city image

Image of Istanbul, Impact of ECOC 2010 on the city image

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

Keywords: brand image;place marketing; Istanbul; city image; visual discourse; ECOC; city branding;

In this spectacle, the urban spaces were projected as the theatre décor while residents and visitors became the spectators. The images of Istanbul pile up in videos and posters to show the city in every aspect in which everything becomes mishmash and the message gets lost in the chaos. While Istanbul is depicted as a mystified city through Orientalist representations, this image of Istanbul moves between the opposite ends of the contrasting pairs, and in contestation."Culture, defined as making sense of the world (Hall, 1997: 2), is an integral part of branding a place, which involves cultural exchange (Anholt, 2005: 140). Mega-events may be used as forms of advertising for city marketing and branding, where the signification is not only about production of meaning but also staging of the meaning. The cities hosting mega-events can be turned into the protagonists of the spectacle by showcasing their cultural products as well as cultural being. Thus, what staged there are the city, its image as well as the events. The mega-events are helpful to spread the word about the city, but the meaning is created also through imaging the city and positioning this image in the minds of the people."

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?" CONTENT Acknowledgements About the author Introduction Chapter 1: Clarifying the terminology Chapter 2: Reasons for migrating Chapter 3: The Migrants Chapter 4: Factors influencing the migrant workers’ decision to come to the UK to take up or seek work Chapter 5: Barriers in finding work commensurate with qualifications and experience Chapter 6: Coping with the skill- and status- underemployment Chapter 7: Impact of nonwork and family factors on adjustment to living and working in the UK Conclusions Appendix 1: Interview guide References Index

Revisiting Gender and Migration

Revisiting Gender and Migration

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

Keywords: migration; gender; family; women;

Yucesahin and Yazgan bring together an intriguing collection of essays drawing on a series of research carried out across the world to offer new insights on gender and migration nexus. Recent developments in the field of women’s studies have led to a renewed interest in gender studies; nevertheless, these changes are having an effect and a need, which represent different theoretical and analytical tools rather than sex as a dichotomous variable. There is an increasing concern about using theoretical approaches of gender as relational, and spatially and contextually. Therefore, gender is an increasingly important concept in different areas as an analytical tool and research lens to understand how societies function, depending on diversified theoretical orientations. Gender studies not only include women’s studies but also cover men’s and LGBTTI-Q studies.The literature on gender has highlighted several issues, specifically gender identity, gendered representations, gender roles, gender politics, femininity and masculinity. West and Zimmerman state that analysing gender involves a complex of socially guided perceptual, interactional and micro political activities that cast particular pursuits as expressions of masculine and feminine “natures”. Evidently, the role of gender in the contemporary world is at the heart of understanding migrations. From this point forth, recent developments in human mobility have heightened the need for bringing gendered approaches to all aspects of the issues of conflict and movement regarding states, societies and families from broadening perspectives to the ac-curate understanding of the whole process.

Untold Stories from the Wild East

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

Keywords: Biography; Andras Kelemen; Hungary; Economist; Business;

András G. Kelemen shares his stories from a long transnational professional career. Kelemen worked in various roles in transnational organisations. He has four children and three grandchildren. When it comes to daily politics, while being a diehart patriot and simultaneously a cosmopolitan, Kelemen says “I am a diehard democrat. However, to confuse anyone” he admits during his professional years as a top manager he had to skip some democratic processes as the pressures of time specific critical decisions dictated. Kelemen, as clearly seen from his satirical story telling in this book, says he would listen eagerly to the opinions of his colleagues if there was enough time, “but this happened rather scarcely”.

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

FERHENGA BIRÛSKÎ Kurmanji – English Dictionary Volume One: A – L

FERHENGA BIRÛSKÎ Kurmanji – English Dictionary Volume One: A – L

Author(s): Michael L. Chyet / Language(s): English,Kurdish

Keywords: Kurdish;Kurmanji;English;Dictionary; Ferheng; Michael Chyet;

Ferhenga Biruski is the go-to dictionary for Kurmanji a dialect of Kurdish spoken originally in parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey while also being common among a large diaspora of Kurds in Europe, North America and elsewhere. This comprehensive Kurmanji-English dictionary is prepared in two volumes by Michael L. Chyet, a renowned linguist with extensive knowledge of the major dialects of Kurdish. This dictionary is an essential reference source for linguists and others interested in Kurdish language and people.“The second edition of my Kurmanji-English dictionary, which I would like to call “Ferhenga Birûskî” to honor the memory of my beloved friend and colleague Birûsk Tugan, contains considerably more entries, and in many cases offers fuller information on earlier entries. In addition, I have found and corrected several typographical errors. Moreover, it is to be accompanied by a companion English to Kurdish volume. […] It is my goal to accurately reflect the language as it exists today, providing variant spellings, synonyms, and regional usage, as well as etymologies. The late Iranist D.N. MacKenzie advised me early on to avoid filling my dictionary with “ghost words”. He suggested that I base all the entries in my dictionary on texts (both written and orally generated), to ensure that I am reflecting the language as it is used by its speakers. The earlier dictionaries include words of unknown provenance, which may have no existence outside those pages.”

Keywords: borders; culture and migration; immigration; integration; la pandemia, labour migration; Migración; migration; migration law; migration policy; politics; programme; refugee law; refugees; remittances; The Migration Conference; TMC 2020; xenophobia;

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.

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.

Introduction to EU Law: Revision Guide

Introduction to EU Law: Revision Guide

Author(s): Özgür Heval Çınar / Language(s): English

Keywords: Bar exam; Dr Özgür Heval Çınar; EU Law; EU treaties; Law students; national courts; Revision Guide; Solicitors Qualifying Examination; Study Guide;

The real reason for the emergence of this book is that it is hard to find resources to explain complex issues of the EU Law in plain language, which makes it very difficult for those taking an interest, in particular law students. Moreover, many years of teaching experience in this subject and seeing students experience difficulties is the key driver behind this book. This book does not repeat material that is available in many textbooks that are in print. Rather, it endeavours to present every topic in plain language and concludes every chapter with a fictitious explanatory sample case. In other words, it is an introduction to the subject of EU Law, the objective of which is to explain the topic both theoretically and in its application dimension. Additionally, this book will assist students to prepare for examinations. At the end of the book there is also a test that summarizes all the subjects contained in the book, which is appropriate to the first stage SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) examination model that will be introduced in September 2021.
