This study focuses on the contemporary refugee crisis by taking on the international refugee system and the recent refuge policy of Turkey. In this regard, it should be said that Hannah Arendt offers a rich optic to analyze refugee crisis in the international and the domestic level. First, the study examines the international refugee system. Second, it rethinks the refugee policy of Turkey by employing Arendt’s concepts and arguments. Finally, the study argues that although the refugee policy of Turkey has headed into a direction that is based on rights and freedoms, there are still perplexities and dilemmas in the refugee policy of Turkey. © 2018 TURKIYE ORTADOGU AMME IDARES IENSTITUSU.
