Abstract

With increased and diversified
mixed migration flows across the world, international human trafficking has become
one of the most critical global challenges of the 21st century. The growing interest
in the “global fight against human trafficking” rhetoric at times overshadows academic
debates that provide an understanding of the concept based on factual/theoretical
evidence. Main objective of this study is to overview the main conceptual and theoretical
debates within the scope of international relations and international migration
in an attempt to emphasise their significance in developing effective anti-trafficking
strategies. Among other issues, the first part of the paper examines the conceptual
relationship between human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and irregular migration.
The second part addresses theoretical debates on human trafficking with reference
to migration and security phenomena. The final part of the paper assesses the contribution
of Turkey’s newly reformed migration institutional and legal framework on the development
of a victim-oriented anti-trafficking policy in line with international standards.

Uluslararası İlişkiler ve Uluslararası Göç Bağlamında İnsan Ticareti

Abstract

Uluslararası boyutta insan ticareti, dünya
genelinde artan karma göç
hareketlerinin de etkisiyle 21. yüzyılın en önemli küresel sorunlarından biri haline gelmiştir. İnsan
ticaretiyle mücadele son yıllarda hükümetler, uluslararası kuruluşlar, sivil toplum
örgütleri ve medyanın yoğun ilgi gösterdiği bir alandır, ancak bu durum zaman zaman
kavramı teorik ve olgusal bulgularla anlamaya çalışan akademik tartışmaların önüne
geçmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı insan ticareti konusunda uluslararası ilişkiler
ve uluslararası göç literatürüne bağlantılı olarak süregelen başlıca kavramsal mevzular
ve teorik tartışmalara yer vermek; soruna yönelik etkin mücadele stratejileri geliştirmek
için öncelikle bu hususların göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini vurgulamaktır.
Çalışmanın birinci bölümünde insan ticareti, göçmen kaçakçılığı ve düzensiz göç
gibi temel kavramlar arasındaki bağlantı ele alınacaktır. İkinci bölümde ise insan
ticaretinin göç ve güvenlik olguları bağlamında kuramlaştırılmasına değinilecektir.
Çalışmanın son bölümünde Türkiye’de göç politikaları kapsamında gerçekleşen kurumsal
ve hukuki yapılandırma sürecinin insan ticaretiyle mücadelenin de mağdur odaklı
bir çerçevede geliştirilmesine katkısı değerlendirilecektir.
