I would like to thank all of the academic and administrative staff at both institutions for providing me with intellectual homes during the fieldwork and writing stages. I would like to thank Koç University, the Bucerius PhD Scholarship Program Settling into Motion, the Center for Gender Studies at Koç University (KOÇKAM) and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) for their financial support at different stages of my doctoral research. This book is indeed a product of the long physical, intellectual and mental journey that I have taken alongside several wonderful people to whom thanks are due. Unfortunately, I can only mention a few of them in this short piece. I would first like to thank my supervisors, Prof Ahmet İçduygu and Prof Jan Rath for their invaluable guidance. Additionally, Dr Sebastien Chauvin, Dr Özlem Altan, Prof Deniz Yükseker and Prof Mine Eder were always ready to read earlier drafts of my chapters and discuss my ideas. Conducting fieldwork in two different countries would not have been possible without the valuable help of precious people. In Morocco: Apostolos, Babacar, Fatima, Moussa, Cewad and Najat, among others, helped me immensely in navigating my way in a land where I considered myself an outsider. Without the help of Deniz Sert, Deniz Karcı, Biriz, Uğur and Fattah, and many others, fieldwork in Turkey would have been much more challenging. I am indebted to my colleagues: those in the Settling into Motion programme, in Morocco, at the International Migration Institute Oxford, at Koç University and at UvA with whom I had the chance to discuss different bits of my research in various formal and informal settings. I would also like to thank Eda Kiriscioglu, Judy Woods, Lara Savenije and Emrah Celik for their able assistance with editing and referencing during the transition from dissertation to book. Above all, it has been such a relief to have a home to return to with precious old friends and beloved family at the end of every venture. My parents, Nafiye and Ahmet, my brother, Alican, my aunts Kadriye and Güzin were always there for me with their unconditional love and support. Işık, my dearest, has been supportive, comforting and engaged throughout every bit of this physical and intellectual journey. Last but not least, my deepest gratitude is to the participants of my study who gave me their valuable time 12 THE GOVERNANCE OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION and trusted me with their professional and personal experiences. Without their contribution, this book would be too dry or would not exist at all. Along with my parents, I dedicate this book to all migrants for whom the journey and the home are mostly intertwined as they seek better opportunities in life. Finally, I would like to acknowledge that some parts of the book have ap- peared in different publications. – Part of Chapter 3 was published in a shorter and substantially different form in Geopolitics (Üstübici 2016) – Part of Chapter 2 in a substantially different form was published in Migration and Development (Üstübici 2015) – Part of Chapter 2 was published in a different form and in Turkish in Toplum Bilim (Üstübici 2017).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Increasingly, governments, corporations, international organizations, and nongov- ernmental organizations (NGOs) are seeking to use digital technologies to track the identities of migrants and refugees. This surging interest in digital identity technologies would seem to meet a pressing need: the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) states that in today’s modern world, lacking proof of identity can limit a person’s access to services and socio-economic participation, including employment opportunities, housing, a mobile phone, and a bank account.

  • UNHCR, Refugee Protection and International Migration
    UNHCR, Refugee Protection and International Migration Basic precepts 1. During the past decade, considerable attention has been given to the linkage between the movement of refugees and asylum seekers and the broader phenomenon of international migration. This paper is intended to clarify UNHCR’s role in relation to this linkage and to identify those aspects of international migration which are of particular concern and interest to the Office. 2. UNHCR’s position with regard to the relationship between refugee protection and international migration is founded on two basic precepts. First, the Office considers refugees to be a distinct category of people, by virtue of the fact that they are, as specified in the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, outside of their country of nationality and are unable or unwilling to return there because of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. 3. In accordance with other international agreements, such as the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention and the 1984 Cartagena Declaration, UNHCR also recognizes that the refugee notion has been broadened to encompass other people who have fled events that pose a serious threat to their life and liberty. The refugee protection regime is premised on the international community’s recognition of the specific rights and needs of refugees and other people in need of international protection, as well as the obligation of states to refrain from returning them to countries where their life or liberty would be at risk. UNHCR consequently opposes any attempt to put in question the distinctive situation of refugees and other people of concern to the Office, their need for international protection and their right to seek and enjoy asylum in another state.

Yet the 2014–2017 Middle Eastern refugee crisis in Europe demonstrated the centrality of transit camps in bridge countries for urban integration and the lack thereof. This article presents results of fieldwork from the Preševo migrant center near the Macedonia–Serbia border in January 2016 and from migrant camps across the country since. In a model bridge society, Preševo was the largest refugee camp on the Balkan route. Drawing on interviews with migrants, camp officials, experts, nongovernmental organization (NGO) and government representatives, I argue that transit camp operations are char- acterized by a “hot potato” system that thwarted urban integration by emphasizing hectic processing, bypassing cities, and urgent transportation of migrants off sovereign territory.

  • Migrants and Refugees on the Frontiers of Europe. the Legitimacy of Suffering, Bare Life, and Paradoxical Agency*
    16 Migrants and Refugees on the Frontiers of Europe. The Legitimacy of Suffering, Bare Life, and Paradoxical Agency* Estela Schindel** Reception date: April 30, 2016 · Acceptance date: September 21, 2016 · Modification date: November 6, 2016 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.7440/res59.2017.02 ABSTRACT | This article focuses on the tension between the figures of the migrant and the refugee as they are being defined and disputed in Europe today. There is a stratification of legitimacies in terms of the right to access to the European Union (EU) that favors those who escape persecution or war and delegitimizes economic migrants. After presenting the genealogy of the refugee category, this paper analyzes the consequences of this dichotomy for those who cross the maritime border of Europe. What kind of strategies, agencies, and subjectivities are mobilized by a border regime that favors suffering over enterprise? And what resources do travelers use, once they are reduced to the condition of bare life, to qualify to stay via the paradox of their own disqualification? Finally, the article mentions the challenges posed by the new biometric technologies of border control and raises the question of possible affinities between the refugee and other vulnerable social figures. KEYWORDS | Refugees, migration, European Union (Thesaurus); borders, bare life, agency (Author) Migrantes y refugiados en las fronteras de Europa. Cualificación por el sufrimiento, nuda vida y agencias paradójicas RESUMEN | En el artículo se trabaja la tensión entre las figuras del migrante y el refugiado tal como son definidas y disputadas en Europa hoy. Hay una estratificación de legitimidades en términos del derecho de acceso a la Unión Europea (UE) que privilegia a quien es objeto de persecución o guerra y deslegitima al migrante económico.

  • “There Are No Angels in Calais” the Impact of French Migration Policies on the Migrants of Calais
    “There are no Angels in Calais” The impact of French migration policies on the migrants of Calais. Merijn van Nuland Human Geography, specialization: Europe: Borders, Identities & Governance. Email: [email protected] Student number: 0603031 Thesis supervisor: Henk van Houtum - 2 - “In fact, we are the untouchables to the civilians. They think, more or less explicitly— with all the nuances lying between contempt and commiseration—that as we have been condemned to this life of ours, reduced to our condition, we must be tainted by some mysterious, grave sin. They hear us speak in many different languages, which they do not understand and which sound to them as grotesque as animal noises; they see us reduced to ignoble slavery, without hair, without honor and without names, beaten every day, more abject every day, and they never see in our eyes a light of rebellion, or of peace, or of faith. They know us as thieves and untrustworthy, muddy, ragged and starving, and mistaking the effect for the cause, they judge us worthy of our abasement. Who could tell one of our faces from another? For them we are Kazet, a singular neuter word.” (Levi, 1958) - 3 - - 4 - I head for the clothes distribution organized by Secours Catholique in an old church in the Rue de Croy. Shadows on the wall give away the places where angels once stood. (travel diary: 5th of May) - 5 - - 6 - Summary. Calais, where France almost touches Great-Britain, is one of the many spots in Europe where immigration is highly visible. Because of its location, it has been an important knot for immigrants trying to reach the United Kingdom.
