The Role of Bilateral Agreements in Diaspora Engagement Policies
In the evolving landscape of global migration and diaspora politics, the intersection of national policies and international agreements plays a crucial role. This article explores the complex relationship between diaspora engagement strategies and bilateral agreements, using Türkiye as a primary case study both as a kin-state and a state of origin. While existing literature predominantly focuses on national-level diaspora strategies, this study i…
Azimat wa Bazgasht
Research on migration from Afghanistan has focused largely on migrants' experiences and on return dynamics driven by host states and international organizations, leaving the origin state's practices toward emigrants analytically underdeveloped. This article examines emigrant governance across five regimes, from the monarchy to the second Taliban administration (1919–2026), drawing on laws, decrees and bilateral arrangements. Because limited state…
Regional migration governance and the selective framing of norms
This article explores how regional organizations engage in the construction, diffusion and contestation of migration and mobility norms. Drawing on the literature on regionalism and migration governance, this study adopts region as the primary unit of analysis and examines how normative agendas of regional organizations are shaped, depoliticized and selectively implemented. Focusing on the South-East Europe and Black Sea (SEBS) region, the study …

Bununla birlikte, 2020 yılının şubat ayından itibaren bütün dünyada görülmeye başlayan COVID19 küresel salgını sonrasında pek çok ülkede toplumsal mesaf…
Diaspora Engagement Policies as Transnational Social Engineering
In examining the transformations in statecraft, the existing scholarship on Turkish diaspora policies largely adopts Foucault’s governmentality perspective and suggests that the shifting policies reflect the home states’ attempt to assert control over citizens, not through coercion but rather through consent. While this framing has proved workable, it provides limited room for students of diaspora studies to incorporate the overall conceptualizat…
Kins, Distant Workers, Diasporas
This paper analyzes the politics of the Turkish state about “Turks abroad” as a process of defining the status of and constructing the perceptions about its transnational members. Falling back on transnationalism and diaspora studies, it aims to bring together the policies of the Turkish state regarding emigrants and co-ethnics who have been stranded during the collapse of the empire from which the modern state emerged. From the point of view of …
