The Syrian conflict has caused more than five million people to migrate to neighboring countries since 2011. After a new wave of refugees arrived in Europe in 2015, the EU collaborated with Turkey to control and reduce refugee flows arriving in Europe in March 2016. In understanding the “refugee spillover effect”, this paper pays attention to the individual and structural factors that determine the dynamics of refugee movements. The findings are based on in-depth interviews with 100 Syrian refugees in Antakya, İzmir, Kilis, Mardin and Şanlıurfa from January to September 2015. This paper critically questions the use of the notion of “refugee spillover effect”, and suggests an analysis of macro, mezo and micro-level contexts, that lead to emergence of spilling over of refugee movements. It is argued that global governance politics should not limit to political and societal security concerns, it should consider human aspect in responding the mass refugee flows.
