Episode 10: In this month's Governance Uncovered podcast we are joined by Mine Eder (Professor of Political Science, Boğaziçi University, Istanbul) who discusses how migration in Turkey, specifically the influx of around 3.8 million Syrian refugees, has affected the country’s social and political landscape. Ideas about how the country is trying - and often failing - to integrate these new residents are also addressed. This month's podcast is part of a special series on migration. Mine Eder is a Professor of Political Science at the Department of Political Science and International Relations of Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey. She received a Fulbright to pursue graduate degree at the University of Virginia where she received her MA and PhD in Politics.
