    German-Turks' return to the homeland the migration of third generation German-Turks to Turkey
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Demirkol, Ebru; Özge, Türkan
    This dissertation attempts to address the phenomenon of return migration and specifically return of third generation German-Turks to Turkey. The aim of this research is to analyze why do the third generation German-Turks return to Turkey. I try to examine the situation by conducting in depth interviews with the German-Turk migrants in Turkey who have migrated between 2001 and 2012. I also try to reveal the difficulties they have experienced upon their return. The research framework chosen for the research is Transnationalism, which tries to formulate a theoretical and conceptual framework between migrants' host and origin countries. Transnationalists base their analysis on the investigation of transnational mobility and transnational identity of migrants. This is a mixed identity, which contains the identity of migrants' origin and host country. Doing regular contacts and visits to the country of origin creates the transnational mobility. Before I have started this research, my argument to the research question was that the reasons the German-Turks return might be because they want to be and live at their motherland and that they could face discrimination. After the research has been done, I have found out that they did not face discrimination, but one of the reasons was the idea of living and being home. For nearly all participants' return decision is made by the family. It was important to examine third generation German-Turks because of that reason that there are limited researches on different generations' return process in the literature. This study can offer opportunity for further researches on the integration policies of third generation German-Turks.
