TURKEY’S CROSS-BORDER MIGRATION MANAGEMENT: A REVIEW SPECIFIC TO SYRIAN ASYLUM SEEKERS

Migration is a concept as old as human history. However, due to the rapid growth of globalization and the rapid development of information communication migration has begun to be experienced not only as a destination from on point to another but as a departure and arrival between points. Therefore, the age we are in is beginning to be called as the age of migration and migrants are also called "transmigrant". Management of migration has become a necessity with the rapid growth of migration. Briefly, the concept of “migration management” which can be defined as the determination of the policies related to the migration and making of legal and administrative sanctions in this direction was entered to literature in 1993. However, global migration management practices took place in the 1950s with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Migration management in Turkey has become more important with the intense migration to Turkey from Syria when anti-regime demonstrations in this country, which started on March 15 2011, turned into a civil war short time after. This study will focus on Turkey's growing migration management processes in the historical process and cooperation with the actors in this process and roles in the shaping of migration policies of these actors in Turkey. In this framework, legal regulation regarding migration, actors and policies in the existing migration management will be reviewed specific to Syrian asylum seekers.
