</font><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><font face="Calibri"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-size:12pt">Turkey
goes through a long period of relative though still volatile stability,
economic growth, a changing role in the world system and some socio-political
transformations. The country already ranks 17</span><sup><span style="font-size:10pt">th</span></sup><span style="font-size:12pt"> on the global economic order
and is suggested to follow the path of the BRICS countries. These
developments also impact on Turkey’s position on the global migration order.</span></font></font></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">Already
for some years it is acknowledged that Turkey attracts significant numbers of
visitors and immigrants; indeed, there is evidence that Turkey has already
transformed from an emigration to a net immigration country meaning that more
people immigrate than emigrate. Also over the years, inflows have diversified
and comprise more non-traditional (i.e. non-ethnic Turkish or other Muslim)
migrants of different types and categories and refugees from neighbouring and
distant countries.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">The
Turkish administration has already acknowledged this and in April 2013
introduced a new migration law and a new authority, the General Directorate for
Foreigners and International Protection to prepare for the related challenges.
In the meantime more needs to be known about immigration to Turkey, such as
exact magnitude, drivers in sending and receiving context, legal conditions
(e.g. Turkey’s visa policy and immigration law reform), mechanisms and
processes that facilitate immigration, legal status, spatial distribution,
mobility patterns, economic activities and performance, social mobility and its
determinants, interaction with the host society and its institutions and
patterns of integration, welfare needs et cetera.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
</font><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">From
a western perspective, however, Turkey is still often perceived an emigration
country. This view dates back to past large-scale outflows of labour migrants
to Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries during the 1950-70s,
family driven migration during the 1980s and refugee flows during the
1990s. It neglects that Turkish labour and other migration has not only hugely
diversified and rather goes to other destinations in the Gulf, Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) and Middle East and North African (MENA) countries but
also mostly comprises of highly skilled migrants. Finally, it ignores that
Turkey has also always also been a country of immigration, though mostly of
ethnic Turks from neighbouring countries.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

Turkish Migration Studies Network (TurkMiS) was set up in 2009; it is convened
by Franck Düvell, senior researcher at the Centre on Migration, Policy and
Society at the University of Oxford, UK. TurkMiS comprises of a core group
of researchers and PhD students at Oxford university, in London and generally
the south of the UK as well as a wider network of contributors and subscribers
across 15 countries, currently around 80. TurkMiS organises two workshops
per years, so far all in Oxford, holds panels at international conferences, as
at the 2013 Metropolis conference or the 2012 UNHCR-Academia conference in
Istanbul, co-organised the ‘Turkish migration – the next 50 years’ conference
in London in 2012, frequently addresses events such as the British-Turkish
High-Level Forum ‘Tatlidil’ and provides evidence or input to policy as
parliamentary hearings in the UK, the Bureau for Asylum and Migration in Ankara
and IOM/Turkey. TurkMiS also maintains a website (</font><a href="http://www.compas.ox.ac.uk/research/dynamics/turkish-migration-studies-group/" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue;font-size:11pt;text-decoration:none"><font face="Calibri">http://www.compas.ox.ac.uk/research/dynamics/turkish-migration-studies-group/</font></span></a><font color="#000000" face="Calibri">),
