Abstract :The primary aim of this study is to analyze the migration governance and the differences in integration policies implemented by Turkey and EU countries by comparing their migration policies at historical, legal, and practical levels. In this context, the study evaluates the migration policies in Turkey, beginning with those shaped during the early nation-state building period, and extends to the Temporary Protection model developed in response to the recent Syrian-origin forced migration crises. Concurrently, it examines the longer-term and more institutionalized migration policies of EU countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Scandinavian nations through a historical chronology. The methodology of the study incorporates a comparative analysis method, utilizing reports published by international and national organizations, including Eurostat, UNHCR, Frontex, and Turkey’s Directorate General of Migration Management (DGMM), alongside existing literature and case studies as data sources. These data are analyzed and interpreted to provide a comprehensive perspective. In conclusion, significant differences have been identified between Turkey and the EU in terms of integration strategies, burden-sharing of migration, and human rights-focused approaches. The study suggests that adopting a more sustainable and human rights-centered approach to migration governance is imperative. For instance, it recommends that Turkey construct its integration policies on a more institutional framework, while the EU should ensure a fairer distribution of the migration burden.
