“…Civil society here is marked by the imbrication of 'local' actors with 'external' funding, as well as by the influence of a political agenda designed by the Global North or by IOs. Similar patterns can be found throughout origin and transit regions, indicating how civil society has become a full part of the inner workings of global migration governance (Cuttitta 2020, Cuttitta forthcoming, Rodriguez 2019, Dini and Giusa 2020, Gazzotti 2021, Stock 2022.…”

“…Son yıllarda eleştirel sınır araştırmaları ve insani yardım alanındaki çalışmalar da, STK'lar ve uluslararası örgütlerin özellikle Türkiye gibi Küresel Kuzey ülkelerinin çeperindeki ve transit ülkelerde göçün kontrol altına alınması ve "polislik" politikalarının birer aktörü haline geldiğini tartışmaktadır (Cuttitta, 2020). Bununla birlikte bu ülkelerde göç alanında faaliyet gösteren STK'lar, çalışmalarında uzun süreli stratejileri nadiren yürütebilmektedir (Stock, 2022). Bu durum akademik çalışmalarda da entegrasyon, ulusaşırı hareketler ve küresel yönetişim gibi uzun vadeli etkileşim ve otonomi gerektiren alanlarda sivil toplumun rolünün sınırlı olarak tartışılmasına yol açmaktadır.…”

“…Yakın zamana kadar göç ve iltica alanında faaliyet gösteren sivil toplumla ilgili çalışmalar daha ziyade 20. yüzyıldan bu yana yoğun göç alan Küresel Kuzey ülkelerine odaklanmaktadır. Türkiye gibi yakın dönemde yoğun göçe maruz kalmış ve göç politikaları yeni şekillenen ülkelerde ise daha ziyade sivil toplumun hizmet sağlayıcılığı rolüne odaklanılmakta (Boşnak, 2021;Sahin Mencutek, 2021;Stock, 2022;Şenses, 2020), sivil toplumun kamu politikalarını şekillendirici rolüne ve göçe ilişkin entegrasyon, ulusaşırı hareketler ve küresel yönetişim gibi meselelerdeki etkisine sınırlı olarak değinilmektedir. Bu makale Türkiye örneği üzerinden sivil toplum ve göç çalışmaları arasında teorik ve ampirik köprüler kurmayı hedeflemektedir.…”

Over the last thirty years, globalization-related developments have led to new debates on civil society and international migration. Despite the diverse theoretical approaches in civil society and migration studies, the increasing role of civil society in migration calls for building bridges between these fields of study. Purpose: Drawing on liberal and critical approaches in civil society studies, this article analyzes the impact of civil society on migration processes through three thematic areas – integration, transnational movements, and global governance. In particular, it aims to establish theoretical and empirical bridges between civil society and migration studies through the example of Turkey. Method: The article first employs a systematic literature review to map academic debates on civil society in Turkey’s migration field. Second, a thematic analysis is carried out on the primary documents on civil society. Findings: The paradigm shift in Turkey’s migration policies has triggered civil society's proliferation and diversification. However, the centralization of the state’s power in migration governance and civil society policies channeled civil society into working in a limited area and utilizing short-term strategies. Consequently, academic debates predominantly focus on the role of civil society in service provision. Originality: This article is original in comprehensively analyzing the civil society studies through the paradigm shift in the field of migration in Turkey.

“…Literature has shown how local NGOs/CSOs are attracted by (mostly European) funding and co-opted into the externalisation mechanism (Andersson, 2014; Dini and Giusa, 2020; Gazzotti, 2021; Rodriguez, 2019). It has been also pointed out that these programmes may have only limited, if any, impact, because of lack of interest from would-be beneficiaries (Rodriguez, 2019) or lack of cooperation from local governments (Stock, 2021). Roman (2019) has further noted that local NGOs/CSOs are not adequately involved by donors in decision-making.…”

“…Roman (2019) has further noted that local NGOs/CSOs are not adequately involved by donors in decision-making. What these important contributions left unaddressed – with the, if only partial, exception of Cuttitta (2020) and Stock (2021) – is the role of international NGOs (I-NGOs). Moreover, they mostly limit themselves to stressing the role of NGOs/CSOs as ‘executors’ of European externalisation policies.…”

Bridgeheads of EU border externalisation? NGOs/CSOs and migration in Libya

This paper analyses the work carried out by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society organisations (CSOs) in Libya from 2009 to 2020 to shed light on its ambivalent relationship to the EU externalisation of migration and border management. While also looking at Libyan organisations, and at initiatives such as EU-funded professionalisation projects, which aim to co-opt the nascent local civil society into the EU border externalisation mechanism, the paper largely focuses on international NGOs, with specific attention being paid to the Italian NGO CIR. The paper shows that even in the difficult Libyan context there is some potential for NGOs/CSOs to radically and effectively oppose EU externalisation, or at least try to do so through activities such as public information and advocacy. However, in a context in which migrants are systematically exposed to a wide range of abuses, and foreign or foreign-funded actors are seen with suspicion, NGOs/CSOs have limited room for manoeuvre. In fact, they mostly end up filling the gaps of the local migration and border management system on behalf of their (European) donors, thus supporting the smooth operation of externalised border management. This is also visible in the way NGOs/CSOs address human rights, interact with donors and local authorities, and perpetuate dichotomies and categorisations that support migration containment policies.
