Transnational Activities of Syrian Refugees in Turkey: Hindering or Supporting Integration

“…Analysing and defining integration through a national gaze disregards the experiences of migrants in the processes of integration (Erdal, ). In order to move beyond defining integration within national frameworks that support a one‐way process, policy and academic papers define integration as a two‐way process including the reciprocity of rights and obligations of both migrants and the members of receiving society (EU, ; Phillimore and Goodson, ).

Integration rarely encompasses the psycho-social need for stability and security or identity as highlighted by Ager and Strang (2008) and identified by Grzymala-Kazlowska (2017) as well as Phillimore and her collaborators (2017) in this special issue.…”
