Amid the epistemic divide about what social cohesion means as a foundational concept, the pursuit of social integration as a policy objective is more desirable than ever among policy makers. While scholarly debates seek to restore conceptual clarity for social cohesion and social integration separately, referring to them interchangeably in policy reports seems to go conveniently unnoticed across different migration contexts. This study seeks answers to the question: how does the concept of social cohesion manifest itself in forced migration contexts? It does so by first reviewing the state of the art on social cohesion-forced migration nexus to identify the recurring themes and substitute concepts in the literature. Secondly, based on an in-depth textual analysis of 327 scholarly articles and policy reports on the forcibly displaced theme in Turkey published between 2011 and 2018, this study presents a classification of conceptual frames on social cohesion in forced migration contexts as security threat-based, humanitarian emergency-driven, policy regime-oriented, and socio-interactional. One of the main findings is that the existing social cohesion models of the settlement countries do not explain what has been unfolding in Turkey in the post-2011 period with the mass influx of the forcibly displaced and ongoing conflict at its borders. The study concludes with a discussion on why integrating policy regime-oriented and socio-interactional approaches are more likely to advance both the quest for conceptual clarity around social cohesion and facilitate the design of actionable policies in protracted large-scale displacement contexts.
Karma nitelikli uluslararası göç ile hareket eden kişilerin kentsel alanlarda yaşamayı tercih etmesi, barınma deneyimleri açısından kentlerde farklı sorunların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. 2011 yılından itibaren yoğun bir şekilde Suriye'den zorunlu göçle Türkiye'ye gelen kişilerin kentlerdeki varlığı, bu kişilerin barınma deneyimlerinin Türkiye özelinde incelenmesi gerekliliğini belirginleştirmiştir. Özellikle bu deneyimlerinin toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum süreçlerine etkisine ilişkin çalışma ve uygulamaların bilimsel olarak değerlendirilmesinin önemi giderek artmıştır. Bu öneme karşın, Türkiye'de bu konuya ilişkin çalışmaların sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'ye zorunlu göçle gelenlerin barınma deneyimleri ile toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum süreçleri arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek, bilimsel çalışmalardaki söz konusu eksikliği gidermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası yazın incelenerek birey merkezli bakış açısıyla konutun, toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum bağlamında anlamı ve etkisi, özgün bir biçimde fiziksel, sosyo-psikolojik ve mekânsal boyut olmak üzere üç boyutla sınıflandırılmıştır. Türkiye'deki zorunlu göçle gelenlerin barınma deneyimini anlayabilmek ve açıklayabilmek için mekânsal ve sosyopsikolojik boyutlara ilişkin çalışmaların artması gerektiği tespit edilmiştir.
Cataloged from PDF version of article.Deliberation, as a mode of interaction based on the logic of reason-giving argumentation, is a core\ud
feature of the European Union institutions. Yet only few studies have explored the conditions that\ud
make deliberation possible in practice. This study examines the institutional determinants of\ud
deliberation within joint parliamentary committees (JPCs) – longstanding instruments of EU\ud
enlargement policy. The empirical analysis reveals a dynamic relationship between ‘deliberation’\ud
and ‘debate’ as extreme modes of interaction that co-exist within the same setting. It also suggests\ud
that deliberation is a product of participants’ constant efforts to maintain equal power relations and\ud
low issue-area sensitivity. This study provides new evidence on deliberative politics at the EU level.\ud
In addition, it highlights the role of inter-parliamentary deliberation as a catalyst for political\ud
co-operation and policy co-ordination, at a time of intensifying enlargement fatigue and growing\ud
Euroscepticism both at home and abroad
