Glossary on Migration
 

ISBN / ISSN :   2074- 6709 / 2009

Migration is increasingly being acknowledged as an issue that needs a global approach and coordinated responses. States are not only discussing migration issues at the bilateral level, but also regionally and lately in global arenas. A commonly understood language is indispensable for such coordination and international cooperation to be successful. This glossary attempts to serve as a guide to the mire of terms and concepts in the migration field, in an effort to provide a useful tool to the furtherance of such international cooperation. This glossary has been some time in the making. Informal drafts were prepared by IOM in the seventies and used by its staff.

Comparison of European Union Acquis and Turkish Legislation on Migration
 

ISBN / ISSN :   2008

Migration is one of the prevailing topics of Turkey’s EU Accession process as it is a country at the external borders of the EU and one of the prominent transit destinations of migrants towards the EU. This report aims at analysing the current Turkish legislations and the EU Migration Acquis in order to identify the gap among them for the purpose of harmonisation. In this regard, this report focuses on the entry and residence issues where each title is analysed with a methodology covering the relevant EU Acquis, Turkish Legislations, Turkey’s undertakings in this respect and recommendations based on the gaps consecutively in a comparative fashion. The Turkish Government has made visible progress in the implementation of the existing legal structures by adopting internal directives.

The Republic of Turkey - Migration Profile
 

ISBN / ISSN :   2008

Migration issues in Turkey are shaped by its efforts to become a member of the European Union (EU), which are creating pressures for an overhaul of its immigration and asylum policies. This is because the alignment of Turkey’s migration policy and practice with the EU migration acquis and policies is one of the conditions for the country’s accession to the EU. An issue of concern in Europe at present relates to the possible negative consequence of Turkey’s potential membership in the EU, that is, the probability of a massive wave of migration from Turkey to EU’s more prosperous members.
