<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=4>Dear All, <BR> <BR>Türkisch-Deutches
Zentrum e.V. Institute for Migration Research starts to publish a trilingual
peer reviewed quarterly journal on migration: Transitio. <BR> <BR>Research
on migration have more and more developed in world literature due to both the
spread of migrations and the increase in migrant populations. Meeting the needs
of migrants, development of migration policies and increase in their
applicability, and providing a constant harmony between migrants and natives are
important social needs in many countries.<BR> <BR>Scientific work on
migration has not reached to a sufficient level yet. Moreover, there are
significant inadequacies in the social policies on migrants. Lack of scientific
knowledge is the very reason behind the fact that these social policies cannot
bring about solutions which encourage co-existence. <BR> <BR>As migration
and migrant policies are produced, implemented and evaluated, scientific
knowledge obtained from the local will increase effectiveness and efficiency,
save both citizens and states from using bad sources, and increase quality of
life, social welfare and integration of both citizens and migrants.
<BR> <BR>There is an urgent need for new and original ideas and works in
order to fill the gaps in the relationships between migrants and natives,
scientific knowledge on the subject, and social policies.
<BR> <BR>Transitio will try to contribute to both the theoretical endeavour
in the field of migration and practical concerns about the migrant populations
through its sensitivity to the virtue of the local knowledge and field research.
<BR> <BR>We will be honored by the contribution of academicians who are
engaged in migration research as the members of the journal´s advisory board.
<BR> <BR>We are looking forward to having positive answers soon. Please
