DIASPORA DEVELOPMENT IN THE TURKISH COMMUNITY IN GERMANY: ITS IMPACT ON TURKEY'S CURRENT DIASPORA POLICY

Abstract

The term "diaspora" has been used more often in recent years to describe communities living far from their homeland. Considering today's influential diasporas in the context of international relations, recently this definition is not enough to describe it. It is necessary for the concept to contain various elements as content. According to some definitions, the structure of Turkish society in Germany, which partially shows diaspora characteristics, is shaped by factors such as immigration history and loyalty to on homeland, which is a form the basis of identity in diaspora societies. Turkish society in Germany, which should be examined in a transnational dimension, also significantly influences Turkish-German relations within the framework of international relations. Turkey supports the diaspora structures of the German-Turks, with which it is linked within the framework of transnational relations. In this context, Turkey supports the integration of Turkish society in Germany, into diaspora policy, apart from lobbying activities, which is loyal to its homeland. Dealing with the diaspora structures and the development of Turkish society in Germany has emerged as an area in which various factors are included. This study consists of different sections that examine the development status of the Turkish diaspora in Germany and the resulting theoretical and methodological problems. For this reason, the Turkish diaspora searches in Germany, their difficulties and advantages were evaluated together and an attempt was made to draw a conclusion. The subject of the study is an analysis of the current situation of the Turkish diaspora, which has developed depending on Turkish society in Germany.
