The National Outlook Movement (Millî Görüş), a prominent Turkish-Islamist movement which previously held strong anti-Western views, moderated its views towards the West in the 1990s. With an examination of Millî Görüş documents from 1973 to 1995, this study sheds light on the dynamics of this shift in view and argues that one aspect of this ‘tilt’ towards the West was the geopolitical realities – mainly the collapse of the USSR and the rise of US hegemony. While the current literature on the moderation of other similar Islamist movements around the world throughout the 1990s largely cites internal and national level explanations for moderation and leaves out the geopolitical argument made here, the case of the National Outlook suggests that geopolitical influences can also play an important role and further research is needed on other Islamist movements to understand the effects of the changing geopolitical context.

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the motives of those who want to acquire Turkish citizenship through investment. We conducted in-depth interviews with 45 people consisting of new citizens and intermediaries who assist foreigners in housing sales and citizenship applications in eight different provinces. Our study reveals that people from countries geographically close to Türkiye and global investors show significant interest in the citizenship program, which enables them to become Turkish citizens through investment. Importantly, we found that the tendency for investment is influenced by Türkiye’s bilateral relations with investors’ countries of origin, the relatively lower monetary barrier for investment encourages the migration of low-capital groups in search of a better life, and citizenship by investment facilitates capital transfer between countries.KEYWORDS: CitizenshipinvestmentTürkiye AcknowledgementsThis article is partially based on the Master’s thesis, titled ‘A Transnational Perspective on Citizenship by Investment in Türkiye,’ of Sibel Can Çetinkaya, who is a master’s student at Ankara University Social Sciences Institute, Department of Geography, under the supervision of Assoc.

【摘要】本研究考察了想要通过投资获得土耳其国籍的人的动机。我们对来自8个不同省份的45人进行了深度采访，包括新公民和中介，他们帮助外国人销售住房和申请公民身份。我们的研究表明，来自地理位置接近土耳其的国家和全球投资者对公民身份计划表现出极大的兴趣，该计划使他们能够通过投资成为土耳其公民。重要的是，我们发现投资倾向受到投资回报国与投资者原籍国双边关系的影响，相对较低的投资货币壁垒鼓励低资本群体为寻求更好的生活而迁移，投资公民身份促进了国家之间的资本转移。本文部分基于Sibel Can Çetinkaya的硕士论文，题为“通过投资于 rkiye的公民身份的跨国视角”，他是安卡拉大学社会科学研究所地理系的硕士生，在协会的监督下。Ayla Deniz教授。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。这一前景也为数十万叙利亚人不顾强烈反对无条件获得土耳其公民身份铺平了道路。土耳其统计局于2008年开始收集外国人购买房地产的数据，2011年开发了土地登记和地籍信息系统(TAKBİS)。2014年，在TKGM下成立了外国人办公室。官方网站如www.yourkeytoTurkey.gov.tr和www.invest.gov.tr于2010年代末建立(Genç和Eryılmaz Citation2021)。前内务部长官sysleyman Soylu表示，为了防止外国人集中在特定地理单位(2022年6月11日)，决定不再接受外国人与总人数之比超过25%的地区的新居留许可申请。在同一份声明中，他宣布他们决定将所有社区的外国人比例保持在20%以下。作者简介:sayla Deniz，安卡拉大学地理系副教授。她曾在牛津大学和加州大学戴维斯分校等多所大学担任访问研究员。她的研究主要集中在当代移民、城市研究和女权主义地理学。她在移民、城市和性别领域发表了多篇文章和书籍章节。Sibel Can ÇetinkayaSibel Can Çetinkaya在Afyon kokatepe University (t rkiye)完成地理和社会学学士学位。目前，她是安卡拉大学(t rkiye)社会科学研究生院地理学硕士研究生。她在乌克兰从事公民制度和中介机制的研究。

This article examines the domestic reform environment in Greece during the Eurozone crisis and explores how it affected the policy implementation process. It provides an integrated theoretical approach by combining the elements of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). The ACF and NPF prove useful in explaining the tumultuous implementation of the three memoranda in Greece. The pro-memorandum/pro-change coalition emerged weak in Greece and was destined to fall apart in a short time due to its failure to employ effective narrative strategies. On the other hand, the status-quo coalition and its belief system emerged stronger by utilizing effective narrative strategies. These factors resulted in a lack of broader social and political consensus regarding the necessity of reforms during the initial phase of the crisis, ultimately leading to a continuous cycle of disarray and external conditionality.

The world witnessed the forceful repulsion of undocumented migrants when the Turkish government unilaterally repealed the EU-Turkey Deal in the Spring of 2020 and opened its border to allow migrants to reach the Greek border. In general, the rights of undocumented migrants are widely abused, particularly during migrants’ journeys towards asylum applications and pending status. This article examines in-depth how states violate the rights of undocumented migrants, despite existing international and European human rights protection regimes. I argue that states engage in political malignancy by creating an accountability (compliance) gap for abusing the grey areas of international law, where they consciously perform policies that harm undocumented migrants. Moreover, I also argue that states cooperate in those grey areas to overcome their human rights obligations and to fend off the migrant flows.
