hen the Berlin Wall was torn down and the Soviet

Union collapsed, people started to dream of a world
where there would be fewer wars and thus, less pain.
After the collapse of communism, the winds of global-
ization made this dream even bigger.

There would now be easier movement of capital and wealth
would spread to everywhere. Communication would advance, people
would immediately hear about far-flung events and this would
restrict oppressive regimes. Even the borders would be removed, the
world would be just like a one huge town and everyone would be able
to travel wherever they want to.

When the Arab Spring started in Tunisia and spread around,
some people began saying "Here comes the end of the authoritarian
regimes in the Middle East. Now the world knows the value of
democracy and all the countries will soon be ruled by democracy."

These words meant that one more step was taken in terms of global-
ization. However, what happened later showed that the flow of
events was not at all as expected.

People living in the Middle East, which turned into a giant arena
of conflicts, wanted to save their lives and started a migration wave
towards Europe which is safer and has better economic conditions.
European countries did not initially care about the situation. The
refugees who tried to pass across the Mediterranean Sea were consid-
ered as a problem that only Italy faced. Turkey was already receiving
those who were fleeing from Syria with open arms.
