Abstract :This study investigates the impact of humanitarianism and its practical application through humanitarian diplomacy on asylumseeker policies in Japan and Türkiye. It particularly focuses on how these policies are interconnected with the national identities of the countries. Japan’s practices are characterized by a restrictive stance, rooted in its historical emphasis on a homogeneous society and post-WWII alignment with the United States. This alignment has fostered a conservative immigration policy that reflects broader Western values of controlled immigration and stringent vetting, prioritizing cultural cohesion over inclusivity. In contrast, Türkiye’s policies rely more on humanitarianism incorporating Turkic heritage and Islamic values, leading to a more inclusive stance towards asylum seekers, notably Syrian refugees, which is also a strategic response to regional instability and security concerns. The comparative analysis reveals how the interlink between humanitarianism and the national identity of each country influences their asylum policies by unfolding the reasons behind Japan’s restrictive approach contrasts with Türkiye’s more accommodating stance. Understanding these dynamics offers insights into how nations navigate asylum and immigration issues under the influence of humanitarianism and national identity.
