    Migration pressure stems from more people willing to migrate than countries are willing to accept. Political stability in destination countries significantly reduces migration flows, as illustrated by Turkey-Europe migration data.

    Area of Science:

    • Socioeconomics
    • Political Science
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Global migration is a complex phenomenon driven by various factors.
    • Understanding the determinants of migration pressure is crucial for effective policy-making.
    • Previous research has highlighted economic and social drivers, but political factors require deeper investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the primary drivers of migration pressure, focusing on the interplay between supply of potential migrants and demand from destination countries.
    • To investigate the role of political (in)stability as a key determinant of migration pressure.
    • To examine the impact of stable political institutions on migration flows.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of migration theories.

  • Review of political science literature on stability and institutions.
  • Case study analysis using migration data from Turkey to Europe, particularly Germany.

    • Main Results:

    • Migration pressure is fundamentally an imbalance between the supply of individuals willing to migrate and the demand for immigrants in destination countries.
    • Political instability in origin or transit countries significantly increases migration pressure.
    • Stable and well-defined political institutions in destination countries exert a substantial retarding effect on migration.

    Conclusions:

    • Political stability and institutional strength are critical factors in regulating international migration.
    • Policies aimed at managing migration should consider the political landscape of both sending and receiving countries.
    • The findings underscore the need for a nuanced understanding of migration, incorporating political determinants alongside economic ones.
