Humanitarian Diplomacy for Syrian Refugees and Turkey-EU Relations
Abstract
Turkey has been exposed to growing mass refugee influx, because of its location in proximity to crisis regions in the Middle East such as Syria and Iraq. The European Union (EU) has been disturbed from this issue because the refugees who crossed the border of Turkey are based on the boundary of Fortress Europe, and thus they are on their way to Europe. Turkey and EU have approached differently and produced different policies to this refugee challenge. This study analyses the policy implications of the post- 2011 Syrian refugee crisis. The effects of the ongoing refugee crisis on the policies of the two parties and on the Turkish-EU relations are analyzed in light of the insights from humanitarian diplomacy.
