    Refugee resettlement as a biopolitical selection policy: the role of refugee biodata for resettlement from Turkey
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Mutlu, Ezgi; Cemgil, Can
    ABSTRACT: This thesis analyzes the refugee resettlement instrument which allows certain refugees to leave their country of asylum legally and start to dwell in Western industrialized receiving countries which grant them permanent residence status. Refugee resettlement is described as one of the durable solutions of the international refugee protection system which prioritizes the lives of the most vulnerable in liberal humanitarian migration government discourse. On the other hand, the selection criteria of the resettlement countries on the grounds of deservingness and integration have raised questions on the humanitarian aspect of this policy from the sides of refugees and the authorities of the first asylum countries. Building on the refugee resettlement as a way to implement biopower argument, the inclusion and exclusion of the refugees into the resettlement is analyzed by conducting secondary source analysis in this thesis. Following the ideas of Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, it is asserted that, the biodata and self-revelation of an individual determine the inclusion or exclusion as a refugee by assessing their capacity to improve economic, emotional and biological well-being or welfare of the host country. By analyzing the resettlement patterns from Turkey as one of the main first country of asylum, it is argued that refugees tend to manipulate their biodata in order to be included into resettlement mechanism. Also, it is revealed that Turkey as a first country of asylum subjugates the resettled refugees in relation with their biodata by establishing a state of exception.
