The endogenous corrosion of political orders
Symbolic Statecraft
s State renaming has received scant attention from International Relations scholars. This article advances a theoretically grounded typology explaining why and when states intervene in their own symbolic foundations through official name changes. I argue that renaming is not a residual outcome of political transformation but a performative mechanism through which states manage disruptions in self-identity narratives or pursue deliberate projects …
Fearing Not Belonging
Humanitarian NGOs and Psychosocial Services for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the United States
Mental health support is a human right. —The UN Refugee Agency Many international organisations, including the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the World Health Organization (WHO), increasingly highlight the need for psychosocial services alongside physical services for refugees and asylum seekers. A lack of access to psychosocial services might have a profound impact on individuals’ well-being as well…
How refugees respond to hostile political discourse
How does the political discourse about refugees influence their attitudes in the host country? Relying on an online survey and experiment conducted with Syrian refugees in Turkey and Germany, this study explores the relationship between political discourse and refugees’ two potential attitudinal responses: political integration and return. Our observational analysis demonstrates that refugees’ perception of the political discourses about them is …
Between Worlds
Sometimes physical security may come at the cost of ontological security for refugees. They may struggle to develop stable narratives of identity and fail to situate themselves within their new social environments. States often prioritize addressing refugees’ physical security needs to facilitate their integration, but largely overlook the importance of identity security. This study argues that ontological security is crucial to integration proce…
Electoral dynamics, new nationalisms, and party positions on Syrian refugees in Turkey
When and under what conditions do ideologically similar nationalist parties adopt different positions and discourses about refugees and immigrants? We address this question by examining nationalist parties' approaches toward Syrian refugees in Turkey. Documenting these differences based on an original Twitter dataset and party manifestos, we argue that electoral dynamics under the new presidential system have shaped nationalist parties' discourse…

Living with Absence, Missing Migrants and the Red Cross and Red Crescent’s Restoring Family Links Program
The chaos and confusion that accompany war, disaster, and international migration separate families when they need each other most. The Red Cross and Red Crescent join the search across international borders, offering a unique service that allows families to reconnect. This paper examines the role of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and specifically their Restoring Family Links (RFL) program in the search for missing migrants. Based on interviews …
Electoral competition dynamics and Syrian refugee discourses and policies in Germany and France
Among European countries, Germany has implemented the most generous policies toward Syrian refugees. Contrarily, its main partner within the EU, France, viewing the refugee crisis primarily as a matter of security, has avoided them. I argue that these divergent approaches are closely linked with electoral competition dynamics. Electoral competition dynamics have shaped the expected outcomes of adopting pro-Syrian refugee policies for ruling centr…
Explaining the Politics of Security
Under what conditions do governments view and respond to the arrival of refugees primarily as a security threat? Comparatively analyzing the securitization of Syrian refugees in two host countries, Turkey and Lebanon, this paper proposes a domestic political context–based theory and typology of securitization. Based on a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the media data including mainstream national Turkish and Lebanese newspaper ar…
