With an examination of Millî Görüş documents from 1973 to 1995, this study sheds light on the dynamics of this shift in view and argues that one aspect of this ‘tilt’ towards the West was the geopolitical realities – mainly the collapse of the USSR and the rise of US hegemony. While the current literature on the moderation of other similar Islamist movements around the world throughout the 1990s largely cites internal and national level explanations for moderation and leaves out the geopolitical argument made here, the case of the National Outlook suggests that geopolitical influences can also play an important role and further research is needed on other Islamist movements to understand the effects of the changing geopolitical context.","PeriodicalId":51736,"journal":{"name":"Southeast European and Black Sea Studies","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135014002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Citizenship by investment in Türkiye: Who buys citizenship and why?","authors":"Ayla Deniz, Sibel Can Çetinkaya","doi":"10.1080/14683857.2023.2255025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14683857.2023.2255025","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis study investigates the motives of those who want to acquire Turkish citizenship through investment. We conducted in-depth interviews with 45 people consisting of new citizens and intermediaries who assist foreigners in housing sales and citizenship applications in eight different provinces. Our study reveals that people from countries geographically close to Türkiye and global investors show significant interest in the citizenship program, which enables them to become Turkish citizens through investment. Importantly, we found that the tendency for investment is influenced by Türkiye’s bilateral relations with investors’ countries of origin, the relatively lower monetary barrier for investment encourages the migration of low-capital groups in search of a better life, and citizenship by investment facilitates capital transfer between countries.KEYWORDS: CitizenshipinvestmentTürkiye AcknowledgementsThis article is partially based on the Master’s thesis, titled ‘A Transnational Perspective on Citizenship by Investment in Türkiye,’ of Sibel Can Çetinkaya, who is a master’s student at Ankara University Social Sciences Institute, Department of Geography, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayla Deniz.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. This outlook also paved the way for hundreds of thousands of Syrians to be granted Turkish citizenship, without any preconditions, despite strong opposition.2. TurkStat started to collect data on real estate acquisition by foreigners in 2008, and the Land Registry and Cadastre Information System (TAKBİS) was developed in 2011. In 2014, the Foreigners Office was established under the TKGM. Official websites such as www.yourkeytoTurkey.gov.tr and www.invest.gov.tr were prepared in the late 2010s (Genç and Eryılmaz Citation2021).3. Süleyman Soylu, the former Minister of Internal Affairs, said that they decided to not accept new resident permit application to neighbourhoods where the ratio of the number of foreigners to the total number of people exceeds 25% in order to prevent the concentration of foreigners in certain geographical units(June 11, 2022). In the same statement, he announced that they decided to keep the rate of foreigners all neighbourhoods below 20%.Additional informationNotes on contributorsAyla DenizAyla Deniz is an associate professor in the Department of Geography at Ankara University (Türkiye).

It provides an integrated theoretical approach by combining the elements of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). The ACF and NPF prove useful in explaining the tumultuous implementation of the three memoranda in Greece. The pro-memorandum/pro-change coalition emerged weak in Greece and was destined to fall apart in a short time due to its failure to employ effective narrative strategies. On the other hand, the status-quo coalition and its belief system emerged stronger by utilizing effective narrative strategies. These factors resulted in a lack of broader social and political consensus regarding the necessity of reforms during the initial phase of the crisis, ultimately leading to a continuous cycle of disarray and external conditionality.","PeriodicalId":51736,"journal":{"name":"Southeast European and Black Sea Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, the rights of undocumented migrants are widely abused, particularly during migrants’ journeys towards asylum applications and pending status. This article examines in-depth how states violate the rights of undocumented migrants, despite existing international and European human rights protection regimes. I argue that states engage in political malignancy by creating an accountability (compliance) gap for abusing the grey areas of international law, where they consciously perform policies that harm undocumented migrants. Moreover, I also argue that states cooperate in those grey areas to overcome their human rights obligations and to fend off the migrant flows.","PeriodicalId":51736,"journal":{"name":"Southeast European and Black Sea Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135831391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
