The Syrian Refugee Crisis became to be known as such after the irregular mass refugee/migrant flow of mostly Syrians to Europe in 2015. However, the greatest challenge of receiving the Syrians fleeing the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011 belonged to the neighbouring countries to Syria. The asylum foundations and policies and their compatibility with international standards in these countries have come under scrutiny following this. The ‘crisis’ brought to the light the discrepancies and deficiencies in the international protection regime, in which countries of the Global North bear the minimum of responsibility sharing for refugees while countries of the Global South, as the first receivers of the refugees bear the maximum challenges. This thesis is a comparative analysis aiming to explore the changes the asylum policies of Turkey and Jordan went through as a result of the impact of the EU policy of externalization of immigration and asylum policy and its instruments after the ‘Syrian Refugee Crisis’, with the conditionality principle as a main strategy. While there are many factors effecting the formation of a country’s asylum policy, the emphasis in this thesis will be the role of international factors. The analysis will conclude that even though domestic factors remained the most determinant ones for asylum policies in Turkey and Jordan, the EU, in attempts to stop the mass flow through migration diplomacy and different agreements, was able to introduce acceptance and action by both of these countries to a previously taboo aspect of asylum policy: integration of refugees.

Rethinking Asylum Policies in the EU lessons from the Syrian refugee Crisis
Eralp, Yakup Atila; Yıldız, Ayselin Gözde (null; 2015-03-07)
The Syrian refugee crisis at the doorstep of the EU once more demonstrated the inadequacies of the EU member states as regards their commitments to asylum and international protection. While little progress has been achieved in terms of EU’s aims to have a Common European Asylum System, it is observed that EU is more likely externalising its asylum practices towards non-member third countries in a securitized context which creates more challenges across a broad region including the EU’s immediate neighbourh...
The Limits of an International Burdensharing Approach: Syrian Refugee Protection Crisis and its Consequences
Kale Lack, Başak (2018-09-01)
This article analyses the consequences of the Syrian refugee protection crisis on the development of an effective international burden-sharing approach. It argues that despite the proven necessity of developing effective burden-sharing mechanisms at the EU and international levels, the Syrian refugee protection crisis has shown that limited progress has been achieved both at the international and the regional levels. This article brings these discussions under a systematic framework to show how the Syrian r...
