Özet:

 This study explores the relationship between political power and refugee-focused non-governmental organisations NGOs in Turkey, analysing how this relationship affects their operational domains through both liberal and critical perspectives. Following the arrival of the first group from Syria in April 2011, Turkeys open-door policy enabled NGOs to play a crucial role in meeting the basic needs of Syrian refugees. Political powers security-oriented policies, the politicization of migration, rising anti-refugee sentiment, and the devastating 2023 earthquake led to increased pressure on rights-based NGOs, making them less visible. In contrast, needs-based NGOs focused on humanitarian aid developed more harmonious relationships with the government and gained easier access to funding. The study highlights that the type of NGO activities needs-based or rights-based significantly influenced their relationship with political power post-Syrian War.

 Bu çalışma, Türkiyedeki mülteci odaklı sivil toplum kuruluşlarının STKların siyasi iktidarla ilişkisini eleştirel ve liberal perspektiften inceleyerek, bu ilişkinin faaliyet alanlarına olan etkisini analiz etmektedir. 2011 yılı Nisan ayında Suriyeden gelen ilk kafileyle birlikte, Türkiyenin uyguladığı açık kapı politikası, STKların Suriyeli mültecilerin temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamada önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Siyasi iktidarın güvenlik odaklı politikaları, göçün siyasallaşması, mülteci karşıtlığının artması ve 2023 yılında meydana gelen yıkıcı depremin de etkisiyle, hak temelli STKlar daha çok baskı görmüş ve daha az görünür olmayı tercih etmişlerdir. Öte yandan, insani yardıma odaklanan ihtiyaç temelli STKlar, hükümetle daha uyumlu ilişkiler geliştirmiş ve fon kaynaklarına daha kolay erişim sağlamışlardır. Çalışma, Suriye Savaşının ardından STK faaliyetlerinin türünün ihtiyaç temelli veya hak temelli siyasi iktidarla olan ilişkilerini önemli ölçüde etkilediğini vurgulamaktadır.
