Yusuf Ciftci
I am a PhD researcher in Politics and International Relations in the University of Southampton, UK. I am interested in the policy dimension of migration, and in particular on the external factors of policy making in respect to refugee and asylum area. The latest challenges in this particular area has illustrated that several actors beyond the state borders like EU, UNHCR, IOM or Council of Europe have become crucial factors of the asylum policy making procedures. Yet, several questions remain in the context of Turkish asylum policies: how exactly these external actors affect upon the domestic political grounds? What are the mechanisms of influences they act upon? What kind of effects do they cause? Using document analysis and qualitative interviews, I am conducting a process tracing in order to explain the actual dynamics between these actors and asylum policies in Turkey.
