Global Migrations and Turkey

Abstract

Today’s migration movements have shifted to another line compared to the pre-modern age. Migration movements have been dragged into a great change in terms of both quantitative and qualitative aspects especially with the transnational nature of migration movements reaching an unpredictable scale and limiting the possibility of predicting the effects a raised. In parallel with this process, due to the fact that globalization movements have become more intense and as this movement naturally differentiates migration from the past, the country of origin and destination countries were affected socio-economically, and the demographic characteristics of migrants have begun to change. Moreover, migrations resulting from wars and internal conflicts have become a factor that directs migration movements by giving dynamism and that is as effective as globalization. In this study carried out based on the literature, current trends related with the migrations will be analyzed through Turkey and World sample; and in the analysis made over both Turkey and the World, periodic differences will be discussed through national and international reports and publications. At the same time, the whole work will be tried to be connected with the current and active position of Turkey in terms of international migrations, and the answers to the question that Turkey is a transit or target country for the foreign migrants will be sought.
