Conflict, Insecurity and Mobility by Ibrahim Sirkeci

Theories and models of contemporary migration often revolves around neofunctional models. They define migrants as rational actors who are focused on improving their well-being which is enabled by access to opportunities that are not available in their origin communities and/or countries. Nevertheless, initiation of migration is largely driven by difficulties, discomfort, disagreements, tensions, and conflicts at the origin, while migration decision and destination choices are moderated by individual characteristics, cultural and social capital as well as by the local, national, and international context. In other words, people do not move when they are satisfied and comfortable with what they have and where they are. The book's scope covers marginalisation and gangs, Kurds in Istanbul, Border perception, Development, security and Frontex, Kurdish Diaspora, Perspectives on conflicts, return of Kurdish villagers, young migrants in Istanbul, communal violence, Military service-migration nexus
