This thesis examines the relations between the state & Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) within the scope of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (LFIP) in Türkiye. In parallel with the new legislative practices, there has been a quite critical transition in the Turkish asylum system that initiates the Europeanization of main institutions and the manner of application in this field. In consideration of Türkiye’s promising to harmonize its migration-related policies in the process of full membership to the European Union, Türkiye has made a historical change in its approach while it comes to the fore as a transit and host country that faces an ever-increasing influx of people from Syria. The thesis analyzes the main effects of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (LFIP) within the context of migration management and the relations between the major actors by focusing on cooperation and liaison practices. Indeed, since the different types of actors took part in the process of pre-legislation, the new migration law has another prominent aspect that has come to light with multilateral talks. In this sense, the thesis reviews unofficial press releases, recommendations, and official statements made both before and after the adoption of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (LFIP) via open sources. In addition, based on the migration-related international funds and projects in Türkiye, this study intends to contribute to the literature by analyzing the impacts of the new asylum system on the relations between the state and NGOs.

The agency of faith-based NGOs in Turkish humanitarian aid policy and practice
Turhan, Yunus; Bahçecik, Şerif Onur (Informa UK Limited, 2020-04-28)
While Turkish faith-based NGOs have been involved in delivering humanitarian aid for two decades, the relations of these organizations with the state have not received adequate scholarly attention. The main purpose of this article is to address this gap by asking what roles NGOs play in Turkey's humanitarian aid policy and practice. Despite the relative isolation of Turkey's administrative structure as a result of a strong state tradition, this paper shows that NGOs attempt to play political roles in Turkis...
The European Union as a normative power and the European neighbourhood policy: cases of Morocco and Egypt
Tınas, Murat; Çıtak Aytürk, Zana Ayşe; Department of International Relations (2009)
This thesis aims to examine the European Union (EU) as a normative power in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) through case studies of Morocco and Egypt. The uniqueness of the EU as a distinct actor in international politics has led many observers to claim that the EU is a normative power. The ENP, which emerged in 2004, has been one of the main instruments of the EU within this framework. This thesis studies the claim as to whether the EU is, in fact, a normative power in the context of...
The role of the international community in the democratisation process in bosnia-herzegovina
Rüma, Şadan İnan; Tayfur, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2008)
This thesis analyses the role of the International Community in the democratisation in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The main theoretical approach adopted is the Critical Theory as represented mainly by Robert Cox. Cox argued that there was an interaction between the organisation of production, the forms of state, and the world orders. The form of state that the International Community aimed at establishing in BiH following the Dayton Agreement is analysed in relation to the transnationalisation of the world or...
Challenges of Demographic Pressures and Resource Scarcity on the Political Economy in the Levant & MENA Region
Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem (Uluslararasi Iliskiler Dergisi, 2018-01-01)
This paper aims to analyze the challenges of population growth and resource scarcity in the Arab countries of the Levant. As the region has suffered from ongoing conflicts, civil wars, and political crises, the challenges of population growth and resource scarcity, coupled with environmental challenges has often been overlooked. This paper focuses on the problems associated with a growing population, such as an increased likelihood of unemployment and the emergence of a middle class poor in the region. Coup...
Mapping relations between state and humanitarian NGOs: the case of Turkey
Bahçecik, Şerif Onur; Turhan, Yunus (2022-02-01)
The relationship between states and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) is the subject of differing interpretations. Many observers of transnational civil society have pointed out a closing of civic space, including humanitarian space. Accordingly, many have focused on conflict and cooperation as main modes of interaction between states and NGOs. In this article we argue that a more in-depth look at state-NGO relations in Turkey shows that this binary framework is not sufficient. Relying on a framework th...
