“…Daha da önemlisi Türkiye özellikle Güneydoğu sınırında yıllardır terörle mücadele etmektedir. Bu derece yüksek güvenlik unsurları içeren sınırların sivil bir otoritenin denetimine bırakılması ulusal güvenliğe bir tehdit olarak görülmektedir (Turhan ve Yıldız, 2022). Diğer bir ifadeyle, Türkiye'nin sınırlarının kontrolünü sivil bir otoriteye devretmesi ülkenin güvenlik çıkarları, ulusal egemenliği ve dış politikasıyla yakından ilgili, olası ESY uyumunun yüksek maliyet içerdiği hassas bir konudur.…”

The increasing (asymmetrical) interdependence between the European Union (EU) and third countries amidst globalization has increased the importance of the partial adoption of EU norms by non-EU countries. Accordingly, academic studies on external differentiated integration, which is broadly defined as the implementation of certain parts of the EU acquis beyond the borders of the Union, gained importance. Turkey serves as an important case for external differentiated integration studies with its dual role both as a candidate country with a fading membership perspective and as a strategic partner of the EU in various policy areas. In recent years, the EU has placed the transfer of its border management norms at the center of its dialogue with Turkey for the management of irregular migration flows. Accordingly, border management is a very convenient policy area to analyze Turkey’s external differentiated integration with the EU from both conceptual and empirical perspectives. This study analyzes the limits and drivers of Turkey’s external differentiated integration with the EU in the field of border management. It focuses on two key issues in this policy area: the implementation of the Integrated Border Management (IBM) system by Turkey and of the functional cooperation with the European Border and Coast Guard Agency FRONTEX. The theoretical part of the article conceptualizes external differentiated integration and its drivers based on different policy transfer models and literature mapping. In the empirical part, the scope of differentiated integration in the implementation of IBM and cooperation with FRONTEX is examined based on the European Commission Turkey reports. The factors affecting the scope and limits of integration are revealed by utilizing the mapping presented in the theoretical part of the article. The main argument of the article is that while attractive and reliable incentives facilitate Turkey’s integration with the EU in the field of border management, sectoral politicization and high adaptation costs negatively affect the success of external differentiated integration.

“…These cities' reliance on concrete functionality is wide-spread in the Mediterranean, creating a regional topography, which may fluctuate with the enforcement of migration control. For instance, in Turkey, between 2014 and 2016, the city of Izmir was considered the last stop in Asia for many refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan seeking to reach Europe along the Western Balkans route (Turhan and Yıldız, 2022). In 2016, Balkan police, Greek and Turkish Coast Guards began cracking down on smuggling (Crawley and Jones, 2021).…”

Within the framework of Mediterranean migration studies and as a contribution to the emerging debate on the ‘local turn’, and on multiscalar approaches of region-making from different disciplines, the main objective of this article is to analyse an empirical trend that theoretically reinforces the view that cities can shape new regional domains. This city-region interface delimits the article’s two-sided argument. On one hand, the article argues that because of the increase of trans-Mediterranean relations, cities are contributing to regional-making; and, on the other hand, that this occurs through a critical process of State disengagement from the way in which the Mediterranean is configured today. After arguing for a Braudelian view of the Mediterranean as région de villes, the article conceptualizes the category of ‘regional cities’ within current geographical and international relations literature. Drawing on three examples of external city practices (city-to-city networks, city involvement in international non-governmental organization and city bilateral diplomacy with other cities), the article empirically illustrates, as a third step, the relevant different functionalities of the city that shape region-making. Finally, the article sets this empirical and theoretical focus within current European Union and State-based geo-migration politics as a top-down region-making failure. The purpose is to highlight the dissonance between the top-down region-making blockage and the historical bottom-up construct of the Mediterranean as a region of interconnected cities. This invites us to visualize regional cities as the basic component for a paradigm shift in Mediterranean migration governance.

“…Still, raising questions about the issue is important to enrich the literature and advance the discussion. The latest articles and books or chapters shed light on the discussion, like the studies by Markakis (2020), Turhan and Yıldız (2022), Comte (2022), andSchimmelfennig (2022). While the EU has tried to overcome the crisis with some forms of reallocation or the new Dublin Regulation, Scipioni (2018) claims that this classification is not enough to describe this policy area at this time.…”

The European Union (EU) has been challenged by several crises lately. In addition to Brexit, the Euro crisis, and the migration crisis; global issues such as the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian attack on Ukraine affected the EU. The migration crisis, on the one hand, differs from the above-mentioned crises with one remarkable feature. The member states have no real consensus about forming a common migration policy. Besides, for geographic reasons, some member states put much more burden on immigrants. Agreeing on immigration becomes impossible for the border countries on the migration route and also transit countries. The paper argues that, unlike the other crises of the EU, the migration crisis reinforces EU integration in such a way that disputes between member states prevent the EU from making institutional changes about the issue. The study results assume that the other above-mentioned crises, on the other hand, stimulated institutional change throughout the EU. In light of this information, this study evaluates, using a method of relevant literature review and comparing the arguments of the researchers, how the migration issue became a subject of dispute between member states by evaluating the 2015 crisis.
