Article 1915 Events, New Issues and Reconciliation Within the Framework of Persistence of Conflict and the Concept of Intractable Conflict(2017) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587There 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.Article 50. Yıldönümünde Ankara Anlaşması Perspektifinden Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği İlişkilerine Kısa bir Bakış(2014) Akşemsettinoğlu, Gökhan; 104466The 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.Article A Chronıcle Of Evolvıngturkısh-Serbıan Relatıons A Century After The Balkan Wars(2013) Ekinci, Didem; 17316Bosna-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.Article A comparative civilizational reading for the Middle East and Turkey's new role in it(Taylor&Francis LTD, 2016) C. Akça, Ataç; 17826The 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.Article A Feminist Reading of Turkish Foreign Policy and the S-400 Crisis(2021) Akça Ataç, C.; 17826Hypermasculine 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.Article A glance at the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics(Routledge Journals, 2017) Türk, Hasan Bahadır; 18664Leadership 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.Article A Glance at the Problem of Reason of State through Siyasatnamas(Beytulhikme Felsefe Çevresi, 2018) Türk, Hasan Bahadır; 18664This study aims to discuss the problem of the reason of state through siyasatnamas. The study consists of two sections. The first section focuses on the nature and historical development of the concept of the reason of state. The second section examines the problem of the reason of state in siyasatnamas through an interpretive-textual method. The major argument of the study is that traces of the term reason of state can be found in siyasatnamas.Article A tale of two neighbors: past, present, and future of Turkish-Bulgarian relations(Publ House Bulgarian Acad Sci, 2011) Ünal, Hasan; Ekinci, Didem; 17316Article An Assessment of Reconciliation Processes and Completion of the International Tribunal(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2016) Öztürk, Ebru Çoban; 105587After the 1994 Rwandan genocide, solution and social reconciliation processes has started in this country. These processes are being conducted in terms of politics, economics, social psychology and law both in international and national levels. The most important and substantial contribution to the reconciliation process has taken place mainly from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The Tribunal was established as an ad hoc Tribunal but its contributions to the social reconciliation and international law is permanent. The Tribunal has completed its twenty first year for now and as an ad hoc tribunal, its mission is going to be terminated at the end of 2015 after completing its proceedings. The Tribunal's mission was completed at December 31, 2015. The jurisdiction of the Tribunal and the ongoing cases will be assigned to national courts and to the newly established International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. This study presents the structure and completion strategy of the Tribunal and the contribution of it to the reconciliation processes of Rwanda. Then criticisms about the legal systems and social reconciliation are going to be discussed.Article Completing The Tribunal: ICTR’s Contributions And Deficiencies(2014) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587The 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.Article Constructivism, Identity, 'Manufactured' Citizens: Russia's Citizenship Policies in Abkhazia and South Ossetia(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Ekinci, F. Didem; 17316This paper discusses through a Constructivist perspective that the aim of maintaining influence via great power identity in the Near Abroad which preserved its significance in the post-1991 Russian foreign policy under the statist/pragmatist and civilizationist schools' influence, is reinforced through citizenship policies due to established collective identities with certain actors. The fact that Russia's conferral of citizenship to certain peoples through old collective identities via long-time great power identity is not a newly invented and ephemeral policy but that its roots reflect influence-driven subjecthood/citizenship policies since the Tsarist times, strengthens the assumption that the Near Abroad is an irreplaceable region for Russia which may practice similar policies towards other actors in the Near Abroad in the future.Article Diaspora Ve Dış Politika: Türkiye-Ermenistan İlişkilerinde Diasporanın Rolü(2013) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587Dış politika yapım süreçlerini ve ikili ilişkileri şekillendiren, iç siyasiyapı, liderler, bürokrasi, danışmanlar, tarih ve kültür, medya, kamuoyu,düşünce kuruluşları, bölgesel ve uluslararası bağlam gibi çok sayıda etkenbulunmaktadır. Sayılan etkenlere ek olarak Ermenistan ve Türkiye ilişkilerisöz konusu olduğunda ise Ermeni diasporanın dış ve iç politika üzerindekietkisini de dikkate almak gerekmektedir. Diasporanın siyaseti hem yaşadığıülkenin hem anavatanının siyasi ve ekonomik yapısı ile şekillenmektedir.Ermeni diaspora Ermeni ulusal kimliğinin bir parçası sayıldığı kadar ulusalkimliğin kurulmasında da merkez bir rol edinmektedir. Bununla beraberdiaspora, Ermenistan’ın resmi dış politika önceliklerinden daha farklı veuzlaşmaz bir konum tercih edebilmektedir. Bu nedenlerle Türkiye veErmenistan arasında başlatılabilecek olumlu ikili ilişkilerde diasporanınüçüncü ve etkili bir taraf olarak dikkate alınması gerekmektedirArticle Dilemmas of Turkish democracy: the encounter between Kemalist laicism and Islamism in 1990s Turkey(2004) Aydın, Ertan; Çolak, YılmazArticle Don’t Give Up! Don’t Give In!” Gender in International Relations and “Curious” Feminist Questions(2019) Akça Ataç, Cemile; Köprülü, Nur; 17826In 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.Book Part Early Ottoman Diplomacy: Ad Hoc Period(2004) Arı, BülentThroughout many centuries, until the period of overall reform by Selim III, the Ottoman sultans carried out their relations with foreign rulers in the form of ad hoc diplomacy. Although that was the general practice of the Middle Ages, as early as 1454 the Ottoman court had become acquainted with a residential ambassador in Constantinople. The Venetian bailo permanently resided in Istanbul to carry out relations with the Ottoman Empire as well as secure the interests of Venetian merchants. Nevertheless, successive Ottoman sultans preferred ad hoc diplomacy, and sent out representatives of various ranks as necessity required. In this study, the reasons for such a preference — Ottoman approach to diplomacy, Islamic influences, Ottoman diplomatic protocol and conduct of diplomacy — will be illuminated by the archives, with selected examples from contemporary sources and chronicles.Article Early Ottoman-Dutch political and commercial relations after 1612 capitulations(Publ House Bulgarian Acad Sci, 2004) Arı, BülentArticle Economic Growth Inflation Nexus & Its Impact on the Development of the Automotive Industry: The Case of Turkey(2019) Gökmen, Aytaç; Gökmen, Aytaç; Üstündağ, Kaan; 52039; 17660Economic 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.Article Empire of Languages: Eu's Multilingualism Policy and the Turkish Language(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis LTD, 2012) Akça Ataç, Cemile; 17826Publication Enlightenment In the Colony: the Jewish Question and the Crisis of Postcolonial Culture(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis LTD, 2011) Karadeli, Sedat Cem; 21252Article Failed state concept and the Sub-Saharan African experience(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2009) Karadeli, Sedat Cem; 21252State 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.
