Ethnic Return Migration and Public Debate: The Case of Kazakhstan Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık (Wiley, 2014-04-01) Ethnic return migrations tend to become a controversial issue and create public debates within the receiving homeland states because of two major factors. The first concerns the economic and social problems brought on by the migrants ' integration process as well as the socio-economic burden that such migrations place on homeland institutions. The second involves the inherently discriminatory and exclusionary character of such migrations because they privilege the state-bearing ethnic group over others. As ...
Geographies of a silent transition: a geographically weighted regression approach to regional fertility differences in Turkey Isik, Oguz; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-12-01) The fertility decline that Turkey has gone through in the last few decades is characterised by sharp regional inequalities, with western regions representing patterns akin to developed countries and those in the east resembling "third-world" countries, while central regions represent an in-between case. With the help of geographically weighted regression (GWR), this article is an attempt to set up a model of causal relationships that could account for the regional fertility differentials. The results indica...

Philanthropists, Professionals and Feminists: Refugee NGOs and the Empowerment of Syrian Women in Gaziantep, Turkey Keysan, Asuman Ozgur; ŞENTÜRK, BURCU (Wiley, 2020-07-01) The diversification of gender-based priorities and the necessities of refugees have led refugee NGOs to launch activities specifically for women, or urged women-only NGOs to take action particularly for refugee women in Turkey. Drawing upon a qualitative research in Gaziantep in Turkey, which host a large population of Syrian refugees, this study seeks to answer the question "How effective are NGOs in empowering Syrian refugee women in Turkey?" It is argued that NGOs working in the provision of assistance t...
A Faithful Alliance Between the Civil Society and the State: Actors and Mechanisms of Accommodating Syrian Refugees in Istanbul Danis, Didem; Nazli, Dilara (Wiley, 2019-04-01) Reception, hospitality and integration are certainly the main challenges of the contemporary world, particularly for countries like Turkey which hosts more than 3 million refugees from Syria. The aim of this article is to analyze the reception practices of civil society organizations and the nature of these bodies' relationship with state agencies by focusing on Sultanbeyli, a peripheral district of Istanbul. Based on a fieldwork conducted in this district, we present the functioning of various state and no...
