1915 Events, New Issues and Reconciliation Within the Framework of Persistence of Conflict and the Concept of Intractable Conflict
(2017) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587
There are some concrete problems, with roots in the past, that have remained unsolved between Turkish and Armenian societies. These problems have become deeper through the years and have negatively affected the relationship between the two societies, and by now have been transformed into a chronic conflict. Nevertheless, this type of conflict does not involve physical violence today, yet it has been transformed into intractable conflict with its all defining features. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between the two societies around the concept of intractable conflict and the socio-psychological foundations of it. The socio-psychological foundation of the Turkish-Armenian conflict has generated a completely new bundle of problems. For both societies to follow a positive line of relationship, a due attention should be paid not only to the concrete problems, but also to the socio-psychological repertoire of intractable conflicts and find solutions accordingly. This article will apply Daniel Bar-Tal’s method of analysis when using the concept of intractable conflict that analyzes the said socio-psychological repertoire.
50. Yıldönümünde Ankara Anlaşması Perspektifinden Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği İlişkilerine Kısa bir Bakış
(2014) Akşemsettinoğlu, Gökhan; 104466; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
The European Union is perhaps the most important organization, where the idea “to be incorporated with the West,” one of the most important basis of the Turkish political life and Turkish foreign policy, has become tangible. The relations between Turkey and the European Union became official with the Ankara Agreement signed in the year 1963 and which entered into effect on 1 December 1964 and has been in the workings up to date. This article was prepared to remind us of the main highlights of the Ankara Agreement on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary on entering into effect, and to also give a brief summary of the relations, close to half a century, between Turkey and the European Union. This article reviews the Turkey-EU relations chronologically, the ups and downs of the relations, the problems encountered and explains the paths taken for the solution of the problems with historical examples. This article emphasizes the structure of this agreement which progresses when the geo-strategic importance of Turkey increases and which takes its shape according to conjunctural changes.
A Chronıcle Of Evolvıngturkısh-Serbıan Relatıons A Century After The Balkan Wars
(2013) Ekinci, Didem; 17316
Bosna-Hersek'teki savaşa kadar samimi olan Türkiye-Yugoslavyailişkileri, üç etmen tarafından biçimlendirilmiştir: Yugoslavya'nınTürkiye'nin Avrupa'ya giden ticaret yolunun üzerinde yer alması,Yugoslavya halklarıyla paylaşılan uzun tarih ve o zamana kadar var olandostça ilişkiler. Diplomatik ilişkilerde savaşla birlikte bozulmagözlemlenmiş, bu nedenle ekonomik ilişkiler de savaşın ve sonrakiKosova krizinin kurbanı olmuştur. Ancak, diplomatik ilişkilerin yapısı veaktör davranışları, göze görünenden farklı bir nitelik sergilemiş, bu dailişkileri karmaşık bir gerçekliğe sokmuştur: iki tarafça kullanılan, bazendüşmanlık eşiğinde seyreden politik söyleme, büyükelçi geri çekme veretlerine rağmen, ilişkiler devam etmiştir. Yeniden gerçekleşebilecekuzlaşı arayışları ortak siyasi iradenin inşasının ve muhafaza edilmesininönemine işaret etmektedir.

A comparative civilizational reading for the Middle East and Turkey's new role in it
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Atac, C. Akca; 17826
The 1990s witnessed a bloom of studies on the standard of civilization', which all aimed to explore the future of the rift between the East and the West. The Arab Spring and its implications for the primordial competition between the East and the West has once again required the revisiting of certain, rather more contemporary, theoretical aspects of the grand debate on civilization. This paper aims to introduce current arguments pertaining to the grand debate on civilization into the context of the Arab Spring. In doing so, it seeks to offer a comparative perspective of the quest for understanding the current situation in the Middle East with particular reference to the civilization discourse which is currently on the rise in Turkish politics. Turkey is among the actors in the Middle East seeking to assume leadership in order to establish peace in the region.

A Feminist Reading of Turkish Foreign Policy and the S-400 Crisis
(Sage Publications inc, 2021) Akca Atac, C.; 17826
Hypermasculine hegemonic masculinities have become the norm to dominate the foreign policies all around the world. As the populist foreign-policy visions, the byproducts of androcentric norm-creation, undermine the established rules for peace, diplomacy and co-existence in the international system, other experiences have faded away from the narratives that have defined and contributed to foreign policies. The accelerating urgency of the national security agendas of the hypermasculine states seek to cancel feminist definitions, practices and theories for the sake of physical force and state control. Nevertheless, more than any other period in history, it is these conflicting times that necessitate Cynthia Enloe's 'curious feminist' questions the most. Turkish foreign policy of the last decade has become a quintessential example of hypermasculine hegemonic masculinity, especially within the context of the S-400 crisis with the US, NATO and Russia; its feminist critics are distressingly rare. This paper aims to offer an alternative reading of Turkey's S-400 saga from a feminist perspective to contribute a Turkish case to feminist International Relations. First a definition of feminist International Relations will be provided. Then, the hypermasculine character of the Turkish hegemonic masculinity and its reflection on the current Turkish foreign policy will be analyzed. Lastly, the S-400 crisis of Turkey's decision to buy Russian defense missiles as a NATO member will be examined.

A glance at the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Turk, H. Bahadir; 18664; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
Leadership is a major aspect of Turkish politics; leaders in Turkish politics are regarded as either almost sacred figures or the ultimate reason for all political, social and economic problems. Leaders are seen as decision makers who have a significant impact on almost all aspects of life. It can be contended that a historical continuance toward the leader-centered perspective is present in Turkish politics. This paper aims to present a descriptive framework outlining the elements that constitute the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics. To accomplish this goal, the paper presents two major arguments. It is argued that the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics are a sui generis synthesis of patrimonialism, patriarchy, populism and militarism. Furthermore, this fourfold historical structure strengthens forms of charismatic leadership and can provide insight into the central role of leadership in Turkish politics.

Completing The Tribunal: ICTR’s Contributions And Deficiencies
(2014) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) is an ad hoc tribunal of great significance in terms of international law. The court has completed nearly its twentieth year, while it has been decided to terminate its mission at the end of 2014 after completing its proceedings, since it is an ad hoc tribunal. Concordantly, the judicial power and the ongoing cases will be assigned to national courts and to the Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which has been newly established. The Tribunal has left behind many contributions and addressed by some criticisms while coming to an end. The Tribunal, which has numerous contributions to international law, criminal proceedings, regional peace, perception of justice, rule of law, and universal values, deals also with criticisms on issues such as functioning, powers of prosecution, and its limited coverage in terms of region and time span. The contributions of this Tribunal, which is coming to the end of its mission, to international law and reconciliation shall be presented in this study. Then, an overall evaluation of criticisms addressed to the Tribunal and the legal system related with the atrocities in Rwanda.

Don’t Give Up! Don’t Give In!” Gender in International Relations and “Curious” Feminist Questions
(2019) Akça Ataç, Cemile; Köprülü, Nur; 17826
In her recent book published after the election of Donald Trump as the US President in 2016, Cynthia Enloe argues that the patriarchy, similar to our smart phones, has updated itself as a reaction against the achievements of the second and third wave feminisms. The updated patriarchy has this time renewed itself through the beliefs and values about the ways the world works (2017). The competing foreign policies representing the hypermasculine hegemonic masculinity of the current world politics and its authoritarian leaders are the outputs of this new updated version of patriarchy. Enloe doubts that having gained sustainability with its updates, the patriarchy could be fought against simply with street demonstrations, as it was before. The patriarchy could be forced to retreat only by incessantly asking “curious” feminist questions that would expose all masculine patterns of life (2017). Continuously asking questions without giving up or giving in would make the patriarchy transparent and vulnerable. In the face of curious, non-stop questions from a gender perspective and the conscious use of the terms supporting gender equality, the patriarchy, albeit updated and sustained, does not stand a chance.

Economic Growth Inflation Nexus & Its Impact on the Development of the Automotive Industry: The Case of Turkey
(Inderscience Publishers, 2019) Dinç, D.T.; Gökmen, A.; Üstündağ, K.; 52039; 17660; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Economic growth is essential for development and welfare of the citizens of a country. Economic development is an intact process involving potentially entire industries in a state. Also, economic growth is associated with macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, exports, imports, budget surplus or deficits, current account balance, interest and inflation rates. Nonetheless, inflation is an important macroeconomic indicator which can influence industrial development positively or negatively. Moreover, the aim of this study is to analyse the impact of inflation on the total automotive industry production in the Republic of Turkey resting on various econometric applications as JJ cointegration test, VECM, Wald test, Gtranger test and LSM.

Empire of Languages: Eu's Multilingualism Policy and the Turkish Language
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Atac, C. Akca; 17826
Despite its crucial role in sustaining better integration, multilingualism is not discussed as widely as the other topics of multiculturalism within the context of the European Union (EU) enlargement. The accession process requires Turkey to take notice of the opportunities and shortcomings as well as the challenges of European multilingualism and to communicate the relevance of the Turkish language to the completeness of European multiculturalism. The present article aims to assess the EU language policy in light of the future imperative of incorporating Turkish into Europe's linguistic family by referring to the EU's laws, norms, and values as well as NGOs' reports and opinion papers.

Failed state concept and the Sub-Saharan African experience
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2009) Karadeli, Sedat Cem; 21252; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
State formation and state failure processes have became major themes in the study of international politics due to the Central Asian-Caucasian and Sub-Saharan African experiences in the last couple of decades. State formation after full independence, or sustaining a weak state have dominated the daily lives of these two regions. Transition from colonial rule or semi-colonial status to full sovereignty as well as a need to be incorporated into the new, globalised, world order caused dramatic changes in these regions. However, even in the transition from colonial rule, former British Asia, former Russian/Soviet Asia, and former French/Belgian Africa show serious differences. Sub-Saharan Africa is a region which has many weak and failed states and the region’s countries experience state failure far more acutely than other similar regions. A different solution is required to sustain these states’ existence and their integration to the new, globalised, international system without burdening them further.
Friendship, Leadership and Hegemonic Masculinity: An Interpersonal Relationship Between Turkey and Russia
(2022) Akça Ataç, Cemile; 17826
Since the Russian intervention in the Syrian crisis and Turkey’s subsequent downing of a Russian jet within the Syrian border in 2015, Russia has become a decisive actor influencing the course of Turkish foreign policy in a way reminding of the troublesome times of the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire. The increasing influence of Moscow in the decision-making priorities of Ankara has resulted in Turkey’s purchase of S-400, the Russian missile system, which is incompatible with and rival to the NATO infrastructure. President Erdoğan, together with his regional and global counterparts, seeks leadership through friendship in his foreign-policy vision under the AKP rule and emphasizes his interpersonal relations with the world leaders while resolving the conflicts that Turkey involves in. In that respect, the Turkish-Russian relations revolve around the bilateral meetings between Erdoğan and Putin and the S-400 crisis seems to be handling on the friendship level. Against this background, however, one could argue that the recent Turkish-Russian relations unfold along a domination-subordination axis, which is linked to the larger debate on the hegemonic masculinity rather than friendship. This chapter seeks to assess the Turkish-Russian relations with a particular emphasis on the S-400 crisis, from the perspectives of friendship, leadership and hegemonic masculinity.

Hegemonic masculinity and terrorism: the case of the PKK and Abdullah Öcalan
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Turk, H. Bahadir
Recent years have seen an increase in the study of the relationship between gender and terrorism. This article analyzes the relationship between hegemonic masculinity and terrorism through the case of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Partiya Karkeren Kurdistan or PKK) and its leader Abdullah ocalan. Using the method of narrative analysis, the study first examines the concept of hegemonic masculinity. The study attempts to make sense of how the concept of hegemonic masculinity operates within the PKK. To achieve this goal, the study demonstrates the major functions of hegemonic masculinity within terrorist organisations. Accordingly, it is argued that the perspective of masculinity studies can be used to gain a better and highly instructive understanding of political violence and terrorism.

Is The J-Curve Effect Observable In Turkish Agricultural Sector?
(Univ Zagreb, Fac Agriculture, 2006) Yazici, Mehmet; 144084; İktisat
This paper investigates whether or not the J-curve hypothesis holds in Turkish agricultural sector. The analysis is conducted using the model the most commonly employed in j-curve literature. Based on the data covering the period from 1986: I to 1998: III, our results indicate that, following devaluation, agricultural trade balance initially improves, then worsens, and then improves again. This pattern shows that J-curve effect does not exist in Turkish agricultural sector. Another important finding is that devaluation worsens the trade balance of the sector in the long run, a result contradicting with the earlier findings for the Turkish economy as a whole.
Is there a J-curve effect in Turkish services?
(2010) Yazıcı, Mehmet; 144084; İktisat
This paper explores the existence of the J-curve effect in Turkish services. The model of Bahmani-Oskooee (Rev Econ Stat 67:500-504, 1985), one of the most commonly employed model in the j-curve literature, is adopted. Using quarterly data from 1986: I to 1998: III, we find that, as a result of real depreciation of Turkish currency, YTL, services trade balance initially improves, then worsens and improves again in the short run. This is a pattern indicating that J-curve effect does not exist in Turkish services sector. We also find that depreciation of Turkish Lira improves the trade balance of the sector in the long run, a result consistent with earlier findings for the whole Turkish economy.
