Abstract

Türkiye’den Almanya’ya gerçekleşen göç, büyük
oranda göçmen işçilerin deneyimlerine odaklanılarak araştırılmıştır. Diğer
taraftan, Amerika’ya gerçekleşen Türk göçüyle ilgili kısıtlı literatürde ise
nitelikli göçmenler ve beyin göçü temel tartışma başlıklarını oluşturmuştur.
Her iki ülkeden geriye göç üzerine ise çok sınırlı sayıda çalışma vardır. Bu
makale, Almanya ve Amerika’dan geriye göç eden nitelikli göçmenlerle yarı-yapılandırılmış
görüşme tekniği ile gerçekleştirilmiş 80 görüşmenin verilerinin analizine
dayanmaktadır. Bu iki ülkeden geriye dönen nitelikli göçmenlerin hangi sebeplerle
Türkiye’ye döndükleri, döndükten sonra hangi şekillerde ve ne ölçüde Türkiye
bağlamına tekrar adapte oldukları, döndükten sonra Almanya’yla/Amerika’yla ne ölçüde
ve hangi tür bağlantılarını devam ettirdikleri, Türkiye’ye dönüşlerini kalıcı
bir dönüş olarak mı düşündükleri, tekrar göç etme isteklerinin olup olmadığı bu
makalenin temel sorularını oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca, tüm bu boyutlar açısından
(geri dönme sebepleri, tekrar adaptasyon, Almanya/Amerika’yla bağlantılar,
tekrar göç etme isteği) bu iki ülkeden dönenlerin bir karşılaştırması
yapılmaktadır. Böylece hem Amerika ve Almanya bağlamlarının hem de geriye
döndüklerinde Türkiye bağlamının nitelikli göçmenlere ne tür koşullar sağladığı
tartışılmaktadır.
