    Varying transnational and multicultural activities in the Turkish-German migration context
    (Springer Netherlands, 2012) Gerdes, Jürgen; Reisenauer, Eveline; N/A; Sert, Deniz; Teaching Faculty; N/A; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); 25879
    This chapter presents results from our empirical study based on qualitative interviews conducted with Turkish-German migrants and their significant others in both countries. After introducing the historical background on migration in Turkey and Germany, we describe, by means of a typology, the great variety of transnational contacts, activities, and orientations with respect to different migrant categories, migrants’ life courses, and different areas of action. An important result of this study is that stronger state border-crossing activities and orientations usually are embedded in even stronger intercultural and incorporation-related practices toward the migrants’ respective resident states.

    Integration and/or transnationalism? the case of Turkish-German transnational space
    (Stratejik Araştırmalar Merkezi, 2012) N/A; Sert, Deniz; Teaching Faculty; N/A; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); 25879
    This article is derived from the findings of an empirical study based on semi-structured and life course qualitative interviews conducted with Turkish-German migrants and their significant others in both countries.1 As the interviews involved different migrant categories, migrants’ life courses and different areas of action, the findings show a large variety of transnational contacts, activities and orientations. After explaining the methodology and the data, the article introduces a typology of transnationalism reflecting these varieties, which is followed by the argument that there is a positive, concurrent and mutually beneficial, relationship between transnationalism and integration.

    Project-tied labor migration from Turkey to the MENA region: past, present, and future
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2011) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; İçduygu, Ahmet; Sert, Deniz; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; Department of International Relations; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; 207882; 25879
    The geographic region of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) comprises one of the most fascinating immigration regions of the world, hosting millions of migrants and receiving thousands of new migrants each year. While the panorama of MENA's immigration arena is extremely diverse, this article aims to investigate project-tied, or contract-based, labor migration from Turkey, which occurs mostly through the long-established work of Turkish companies that engage in various construction and service-sector businesses. Taking the analytical context of migration system theory into consideration, the main aim of this essay is twofold: while it attempts to document the dynamics and mechanisms of contract-based labor migration from Turkey to the MENA countries, it also intends to elaborate on research about migratory systems between Turkey and the MENA region, mainly referring to macro-level factors affecting the relevant migration system.

    Cyprus: Peace, return and property
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2010) N/A; N/A; Sert, Deniz; Researcher; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); N/A; 25879
    The future of the properties of the 210,000 internally displaced people who had to leave their properties beginning with the first inter-communal strife in 1964 is one of the most difficult issues of the new set of peace negotiations which began in Cyprus in 2008. After giving a brief historical account of the displacements-how they were managed and perceived on both sides of the island-this article studies the property issue with a specific focus on the management of the IDP properties. Moreover, analysing the problems mainly via reactions to the Annan Plan, the article underlines three issues of security, economics and justice as the keys to comprehend the essence of the problems of property and IDP return, finally making the claim that there is a need to separate the question of IDP return and return of property rights.

    Reversing segregation? the property restitution process in post-war Bosnia
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011) N/A; Sert, Deniz; Teaching Faculty; N/A; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); 25879
    Following the breakup of former Yugoslavia, the war in Bosnia from 1992 to 1995 resulted in the displacement of large numbers of people in order to create ethnically pure territories. A decade after the Dayton Accords enshrined the right of displaced populations to return to their homes of origin, and most of the property repatriation claims made by the displaced had positive outcomes, it was assumed that property restitution would cause people physically to return home and eventually reverse the effects of wartime policies of ethnic cleansing. It is argued here that although property restitution is important as part of reversing ethnic segregation, the assumption that it will guarantee that the displaced will return to their former home is naive.
