Author NameUniversity of Author
Abstract (2. Language): 
Transit countries exhibit many similarities with respect to state-led anti-transit and more restrictive actions toward contemporary transit migration flows. This paper examines the changes after 1990s in state concerns, behaviors, and policies regarding transit migration by taking Turkey as a case study. Which factors led to Turkey’s increased attention to immigration, specifically transit migration in spite of its long history of immigration, emigration and the transit migration. Why has Turkey employed restrictive policies and projects to regularize immigration since 1993? How can we explain the anti-transit immigration projects in Turkey? I argue that two driving forces can explain the restrictive policies of Turkey as a transit state. First, Turkey attempts to reconfigure its state authority in different forms to respond to the challenges of irregular migration through immigration control. Second, the Turkish state`s concern is based upon the externalization/adoption of European Union’s immigration control policies.
