Özet

Bu makale, ahlaki değerlerin bölgesel sınırlar ve göçmen işçilerin üyelik statüsü kavramlarının anlamı üzerindeki etkisini ahlaki yapılandırmacı yaklaşım merceğinden incelemektedir. Paylaşılan değerlerin, devletlerin göç politikaları ve kanun yapma süreçlerinin merkezinde yer aldığını önermektedir. Devletler, sadece kolektif bir varlık haline gelen rastgele bir topluluk değil, ortak değerleri olan bireylerden oluşan değer topluluklarıdır. Göçmen işçilerin statüsü, 'değer topluluğuna' üyelikleriyle belirlenir; tartışılabilir bir şekilde, yasal terminolojiyi devlet düzeyinde biçimlendirmek için "geçirgen değerler" ve / veya "geçirimsiz değerler" kullanan kişilerden oluşuyor. Bu makalede, sosyal olarak yapılandırılmış değerlerin devlet politikalarını etkilediği, devlet sınırlarını ve göçmen işçilerin üyelik statülerini tanımladığı sonucuna varılan göç politikasının analizi için Türkiye vaka incelemesine odaklanılmaktadır. Analiz için, Türkiye'de toplanmış görüşmelerden ve katılımcı gözlemlerinden elde edilen birincil veriler ve yasal resmi belgelerdeki ikincil veriler kullanılmıştır.

ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH The Impact of Moral Values on the Meaning of the Borders and the Membership Status of Migrant Workers

This paper analyses the impact of moral values on the meaning of the concept of territorial borders and the membership status of migrant workers through the lens of the moral constructivist approach. It suggests that shared values sit at the core of the states’ migration policies and law-making processes. States are not merely random collections of people that become a collective being but are communities of value that are consist of individuals who have shared values. Migrant workers’ status is determined by their membership to ‘community of value’ which arguably comprise of persons who use ‘porous values’ and/or ‘impermeable values’ to shape the legal terminology at the state level. The paper focuses on the case study of Turkey for the analysis of migration policy which concludes that socially constructed values influence the state policies and define borders and membership status of migrant workers. For the analysis, it uses primary data from interviews and participant observation; and secondary data from official legal documents collected in Turkey.
