%T Challenges of examining the Ottoman/Turkish immigration policies %A Dündar, Fuat %P 16 %V 28 %D 2021 %K open-door-policy %@ 2191-3897 %~ ZMO %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:101:1-2021052512052880638417 %X The article demonstrates the challenges of the project, which argues that the pro-immigration policy of the Otto man/Turkish governments (1774-1989) was shaped by political concerns (concretely population and identity politics), in addition to humanitarian concerns. The pro-immigration policy, and more specifically the open-door policy, facilitated, encouraged, compounded, and even in some cases produced immigration. In other words it functioned as a "pull factor". As a working pa-per, this article will analyse epistemological, methodological and theoretical challenges that emanate from the scope of the topic. To examine two centuries of migration covering a territory extending to three continents and including millions of migrants, as well as those they were directly or indirectly tied to, is indeed quite a challenge. %C DEU %C Berlin %G en %9 Arbeitspapier %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
