Temporal Boundari es\, Political\nPower\, and Free Movement

Quarantines\,\ncurfe ws\, dates of establishment\, statutes of limitations\, and myriad other\n kinds of temporal boundaries are all imposed by states to limit and direct the\npower that people and groups have to move\, reside\, act and claim o r exercise\nrights. They have in common a boundary keeping function that m arks out the\nbeginning and end of political regimes and\, within those re gimes\, structure\nclaims of fundamental rights including free movement an d political\nparticipation.

\n\n \nThis presentation will discuss how\n calendrical time is integral to the establishment and maintenance of four\ npivotal types of political boundaries including: sovereign borders around \nnation-states\; the boundaries between the populations of different nati on-states\;\nboundaries within the interior of nation-states that restrict free movement of\nparts of the population\; and finally\, boundaries that divide rights bearing\npersons from non-rights bearing persons.

The\nStrategic Use of Labels for Syrians\nin Turkey< /strong>

Even as\nTurkey took in more than three million Syrians at great expense\, Turkish\nofficials were referring to these individuals as temporary guests rather than\nrefugees. Despite significant legal developm ents in the country\, and\nparticularly the recent formalization of a temp orary protection regime\, this\nchoice of labels reveals the influence of underlying political trends on\nTurkish policy-making regarding refugees. This paper compares Turkey’s\nreactions to the Syrian inflow with its resp onses to previous refugee crises\,\nincluding Iraqis in 1988\, Bosnians in 1992\, and Kosovars in 1998. In so doing\,\nit demonstrates that the refu sal to designate certain populations as\nasylum-seekers or refugees enable s Turkey to opt in or out of what might\notherwise appear to be generally- applicable\, national-level policies. Through\nthese strategic semantics\, policymakers retain a freedom to maneuver in\nresponse to international a nd domestic political pressures.
