Résumé
"In terms of migratory movements from the "Global South", Turkey is a receiving, transit and sending country all at the same time. The paper analyzes these self-organized flows through the concept of the "autonomy of migration". The paper starts off by outlining the defining impact of Turkish nationalist ideology on migratory movements. Next, the economy of transit migration that sustains contemporary flows is analyzed, given ever stricter border controls implemented as part of the Turkey's process of EU acquis. Next labour emigration to European and the Middle Eastern countries is reviewed. Lastly, the differential access of migrants to informal employment in Turkey is examined in light of recent research findings. Gender, ethnicity and social networks are identified as factors that frame migrant agency."
