Migration is a concept as old as human history. However, due to the
rapid growth of globalization and the rapid development of information
communication migration has begun to be experienced not only as a destination
from on point to another but as a departure and arrival between points.
Therefore, the age we are in is beginning to be called as the age of migration
and migrants are also called "transmigrant". Management of migration
has become a necessity with the rapid growth of migration. Briefly, the concept
of “migration management” which can be defined as the determination of the
policies related to the migration and making of legal and administrative
sanctions in this direction was entered to literature in 1993. However, global
migration management practices took place in the 1950s with the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for
Migration (IOM). Migration management in Turkey has become more important with the
intense migration to Turkey from Syria when anti-regime demonstrations in this
country, which started on March 15 2011, turned into a civil war short time after.
This study will focus on Turkey's growing
migration management processes in the historical process and cooperation with
the actors in this process and roles in the shaping of migration policies of
these actors in Turkey. In
this framework, legal regulation
regarding migration, actors and policies in the existing migration management
will be reviewed specific to Syrian asylum seekers.
