Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliği arasındaki Geri Kabul Anlaşması ve vize muafiyeti görüşmelerine ilişkin tarihsel arkaplanı ve güncel gelişmeleri, Dışişleri Bakanlığı ve Avrupa Birliği’nin resmi belgelerine dayanarak analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliği’nin politikaları, üçüncü bir göz olarak uluslararası hükümet ve hükümet dışı örgütler perspektifinden, özellikle Birleşmiş Milletler, İnsan Hakları İzleme Örgütü ve Uluslararası Af Örgütü’nün düzenli olarak yayınlamakta olduğu raporlar aracılığıyla eleştirel bir yaklaşımla değerlendirilecektir. Bu çerçevede, Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliği’nin göç kontrolünü sağlamak için sergilediği siyasi yaklaşımlar ve güvenlik politikaları üzerine kritik öneme sahip argümanlar tartışılacak; tarafların göç krizini neden bölgesel ve özellikle iki taraflı araçlarla çözmeyi tercih ettiği
değerlendirilecektir.

CRITICAL ARGUMENTS ABOUT READMISSION PRACTICES AND POLICIES BETWEEN EU AND TURKEY

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the historical background and the recent developments concerning the Readmission Agreement and free visa negotiations between Turkey and the European Union through the official documents of Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the European Union. As a third view, the policies of Turkey and the EU will be critically assessed from the perspectives of the international governmental organizations and non-governmental actors, namely the United Nations, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International through their regular reports. Within the scope of the analyses, it is aimed to discuss the critical arguments on political approaches and security policies of the European Union and Turkey on migration control and elaborate why both sides preferred to solve the migration crisis through regional, and
specifically, bilateral instruments.
