“…Th ese countries encounter large mixed migration movements and the protracted stay of transit migrants who cannot continue their migration journeys to Europe due to ever-stricter policies and deadly risks in border crossings. Th e dilemma is that these countries seek to prioritize their national interests by guaranteeing external funding on the one hand, while trying not to become buff er zones and managing domestic public uneasiness about immigration on the other (Mencutek 2018). Th us, they extensively use detention and deportation instruments against apprehended undocumented and transit migrants, causing human rights violations, high costs, and ineff ectiveness in decreasing the number of expulsions (Broeders 2010).…”

The increasing salience and variations of “voluntary” return techniques have not yet been thoroughly investigated in the context of Global South countries, which host the majority of displaced people. As the largest refugee host and transit country, the case of Turkey provides important insights on the role that these instruments and the very notion of “voluntariness” play for migration governance. This article specifically looks at how Turkey develops and implements its own “voluntary return” instruments. The analysis illustrates different ways in which “voluntary” returns are being institutionalized at central state and substate levels across the country. It shows how these national mechanisms are imposed at multiple sites, while also being diffused as practices in everyday interactions with refugees across the country. The arguments I put forward arise from qualitative research that combined mapping of policy papers, national legislation, and interviews with returnees and other relevant stakeholders.

“…The Ansar spirit was also visible in Iraq and Lebanon in the first years of the mass migration of Syrians. However, the Ansar spirit is now replaced with return discourse in each country to deter the new comers (Mencütek, 2018;Kaya, 2020).…”

“…This is because some countries such as the United States has no clear path to help climate migrants, owing to the few legal provisions. Most of the research on climate migration has been conducted in developing countries, and one reason that there has been less focus on the issues in developed countries is that their populations are highly urbanized, and that people's incomes and livelihoods are less dependent on local environmental conditions, owing to expanded international supply chains [5].…”

Our paper focuses on studying the development and implementation of a comprehensive environmental safety assessment and mitigation strategy for countries of origin and destination of environmental migration. Environmental migration represents one of the key threats to the security of regions and countries and is linked to their sustainable development (or lack thereof). Moreover, it is also connected to many important social, economic as well as demographic outcomes. Global warming caused by human activities is already having a major impact on the planet and is likely to render parts of the world uninhabitable, leading to migration, displacement, and planned resettlement. The goal of the paper is also to assess the impact of future migration due to the global warming and climate change. The results of the paper demonstrate that climate impacts can trigger migration and change population distribution within the next few decades. It is also clear that migration caused by the environmental factors (such as droughts, floods, higher temperature sand more extreme weather events) would inevitably lead to the geopolitical changes with long-range impacts and effects.
