POLITICS AND LAW IN TURKISH MIGRATION - Edited by Ibrahim Sirkeci, Döa Elçin, and Güven eker - Increasingly more scholars and analysts argue that migration controls are deemed to fail simply because of the dynamic nature of human mobility. Nevertheless, migration remains to be a hot topic on political agenda as well as a key area of legislation. Turkey has recently implemented some serious structural changes through a new law of migration and creation of a specialist central general directorate responsible for handling almost anything and everything about migrants and foreigners in the country. On the other hand, politics and political participation of the Turks abroad is part and parcel of the integration debates strongly shaping the mainstream politics of immigration countries in Europe and beyond. This book offers a number of research accounts investigating the political participation and integration, new legislations, and implications of policy and law on migration practices.

This is a compilation of papers presented at the Migration Conference 2017 which was held at Harokopio University, Athens, Greece from 23 to 26 August 2017. These are the full papers submitted before and after the conference where over 400 presentations were delivered. The papers edited in this volume are the original versions supplied by authors.

Focusing on the evolution of migration policy in Turkey, this book examines the significant shift from labor exportation in the 1960s and 70s to contemporary integration efforts in response to recent mass immigration. With a rapidly increasing foreign-born population, the need for policy adjustments is critical. Despite Turkey's humanitarian efforts towards Syrian refugees, integration policies remain inadequate, reflecting a pressing need for improvement as the country adapts to ongoing immigration challenges.

Transnational Marketing and Transnational Consumers are becoming increasingly common in today's globalizing and fast moving world of business. This book presents a fresh perspective focusing on the transnational character of organizations and firms while underlining the importance of the transnationality of marketing strategies for success. At the same time, it introduces the novel concepts of Transnational Consumers and Transnational Mobile Consumers which take into account the increasing human mobility and its implications for marketing success. This book gives flesh to the ever popular shorthand „glocal“ referring to strategies thinking globally but acting locally. This is the reality of current business environment where the norm is fast mobility of goods, services, finance, and consumers. Transnational Mobility of Consumers is of increasing importance for understanding transnational marketing. Prof. Ibrahim Sirkeci’s new book, Transnational Marketing and Transnational Consumers, deals with this important issue in an excellent way. The book is highly recommendable for both academics and practitioners in International Marketing. Svend HollensenUniversity of Southern DenmarkAuthor of ‘Global Marketing’ (Pearson)
