The tea plantations of Assam, which constitute the country’s 53.97 per cent tea area, 49 per cent tea worker population, and 52.04 per cent tea production, occupy an important place in the economy, culture and polity of the state. The onset of tea plantations during British colonial rule has not only changed the landscape of the upper Brahmaputra valley through green tea bushes being nourished by tea tribes from east-central India, but also evolved a distinct tea culture. Although formation of small tea growers has added a new dimension to the growth of tea industry of Assam in recent times, the culture that emerged due to the long continued interaction of British planters, tea worker tribes and indigenous Assamese is well reflected in the language, way of life, work culture, food habits and many other socio-cultural practices in most of the large tea estates in the state. In fact, the impact of tea culture is so penetrative that it has been able to bring about development in the form of tea festival, tea tourism, tea folk songs and dances, etc. in the state. An attempt is made in this paper to explore the role of tea plantation and the people associated with it to the socio-cultural transformation of Assam based on both secondary data and primary data through field study. The primary data have been collected from selected tea estates, tea garden worker colonies, tea-tribe villages and urban dwellers.

Bu makale, ahlaki değerlerin bölgesel sınırlar ve göçmen işçilerin üyelik statüsü kavramlarının anlamı üzerindeki etkisini ahlaki yapılandırmacı yaklaşım merceğinden incelemektedir. Paylaşılan değerlerin, devletlerin göç politikaları ve kanun yapma süreçlerinin merkezinde yer aldığını önermektedir. Devletler, sadece kolektif bir varlık haline gelen rastgele bir topluluk değil, ortak değerleri olan bireylerden oluşan değer topluluklarıdır. Göçmen işçilerin statüsü, 'değer topluluğuna' üyelikleriyle belirlenir; tartışılabilir bir şekilde, yasal terminolojiyi devlet düzeyinde biçimlendirmek için "geçirgen değerler" ve / veya "geçirimsiz değerler" kullanan kişilerden oluşuyor. Bu makalede, sosyal olarak yapılandırılmış değerlerin devlet politikalarını etkilediği, devlet sınırlarını ve göçmen işçilerin üyelik statülerini tanımladığı sonucuna varılan göç politikasının analizi için Türkiye vaka incelemesine odaklanılmaktadır. Analiz için, Türkiye'de toplanmış görüşmelerden ve katılımcı gözlemlerinden elde edilen birincil veriler ve yasal resmi belgelerdeki ikincil veriler kullanılmıştır. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH The Impact of Moral Values on the Meaning of the Borders and the Membership Status of Migrant Workers This paper analyses the impact of moral values on the meaning of the concept of territorial borders and the membership status of migrant workers through the lens of the moral constructivist approach. It suggests that shared values sit at the core of the states’ migration policies and law-making processes. States are not merely random collections of people that become a collective being but are communities of value that are consist of individuals who have shared values. Migrant workers’ status is determined by their membership to ‘community of value’ which arguably comprise of persons who use ‘porous values’ and/or ‘impermeable values’ to shape the legal terminology at the state level. The paper focuses on the case study of Turkey for the analysis of migration policy which concludes that socially constructed values influence the state policies and define borders and membership status of migrant workers. For the analysis, it uses primary data from interviews and participant observation; and secondary data from official legal documents collected in Turkey.
