It is worth exploring the roots of this triumph within the democratisation process of the country. During the Turkish democratisation process, several breakdowns and restorations have occurred and military regimes have attempted to change the Turkish party and election system in accordance with their expectations. However, many of these interventions, which were imposed by the military regimes, have had positive affects on the recent rise of the Justice and Development Party.

Thus, when searching for agents of change and reform, one has to look beyond the formal politics. In this vein, in the region there has been an increasing interest in civil society. Generally, academic interest as well as institutional interest tends to focus on secular organizations and overlooks religiously-based ones. Given the fact that, particularly in Muslim states of the region, Islamic civil society organizations make up a large part of civil society. Many Muslim social welfare organizations in the region engaged in activities such as education, health care and financial assistance to the poor. For example, in the cases of Egypt, Jordan and Turkey new variety of Muslim organizations has emerged to engage in voluntary social welfare activities, but in other ways than traditional welfare organizations. Besides providing traditional charitable services, they offer health and environm...

One of the reflections of the drastic changes in the dynamics of the region is the growing tension over the waters of Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. Since 1991, transboundary water management has become one of the most complex security problems among newly independent Central Asian states. This article analyses the efforts to form a regional water regime in the region, within the context of a regional security complex explanation, and explores the role of internal and external dynamics on regional cooperation over water resources.

Concepts, arguments and assumptions associated with the securitisation theory of the Copenhagen School are considered. In this regard, the thesis makes a contribution to Security Studies through its application of securitisation theory and sheds light on a complex conflict situation.

Forbes’un 2017’nin en güçlü kadın siyasi liderler listesinde ilk sıralarda yer alan üç Avrupalı kadın lider, Angela Merkel (Almanya), Theresa May (Büyük Britanya) ve Federica Mogherini (AB) örneklem alınarak, bu üç kadın liderin medyada yansıtılan imajları göstergebilimsel bir okuma ile analiz edilmektedir. Bu analiz sonucunda kadın liderler özelinde cinsiyetçi söylem ve imajları uluslararası siyasetteki siyasal erkeklik tezahürleri üzerinden tartışmaya açılarak uluslararası ilişkilerde toplumsal cinsiyet literatürüne katkıda bulunulması hedeflenmektedir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada, ulusal ve uluslararası siyaset ve ilişkiler, farklı kadınların farklı siyasal erkeklik tezahürlerini deneyimlemesi ile yerleşik hale gelse de tektipleşmiş kurguların da çürütülebileceğinin ipuçları verilmektedir.

The diplomatic crisis erupted when Turkey shot down a Russian warplane on its border with Syria on 24 November 2015. The diplomatic crisis went hand in hand with an extensive economic embargo. Russia suspended the reciprocal visa-free regime with Turkey, as well as banning charter flights to and from Turkey. Russian travel firms were told by Moscow to stop marketing Turkish holiday programs. Moreover, Putin signed a decree calling for a ban on imports of certain goods from Turkey. After a period of intensity, however, the leaders of the two countries (President Putin and President Erdoğan) decided to reset the relations. The failed coup attempt in Turkey in 2016 provided a window of opportunity for the resolution of the crisis. In light of this background, the article puts forward an analysis of both the system level factors (international conjecture) and domestic factors (military capabili...

In this regard, the article first reviews the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory with a particular focus on the concept of desecuritisation and desecuritising actor. Based on the notion of desecuritisation, an analytical framework for analysis will be suggested here to integrate Israeli-Palestinian environmental NGOs' water management efforts as contributions in desecuritisation of relations between Israelis and Palestinians with wider conflict resolution efforts.

The mass movements following the uprisings throughout the Middle East and the North Africa further highlighted the need for a coherent and comprehensive migration policy for the EU. Hence, migration is at the top of the EU's political agenda more than ever. Since 2011 the EU and member states have faced a dilemma between the security of their own citizens and the rights and security of the people who have asked for protection. In this article, the EU's current migration policy is reviewed from a human security perspective. The question of how the EU's commitment to human rights and security was challenged by the influx of people following the Arab Spring will be attempted to answer here.

Considering the inevitable consequences of a civil war for the region it is extremely important to resolve the communal conflict in Iraq. However, in the Iraq case reconciliation is not something solely dependent on the conflicting parties' decisions, due to the internationalized character of Iraqi issue. In addition to the American and British policies, neighboring states' policies may also be very effective in reconciliation efforts in Iraq. With around a ninety-percent Sunni population and a long-lasting conflict with its Kurdish population, Turkey has always had an interest in developments in Iraq.

The prolonged visit of Syrians in Turkey has created some sort of cultural hybridity (See Babha 1994, Said 1978 and Spavak 1987) in urban centers where Syrians have resettled in considerable numbers. For example, with around 500 thousand Syrians, Istanbul hosts the biggest group of refugees in Turkey. The aim of this study is to discuss restaurants that have owned by Syrians as a reflection of cultural hybridity, hence heterotopias. Presence of Syrians in Turkey has brought about a cultural newness not just for Syrians but also for Turkish people. A new space in Turkish urban centers has had created by Syrians. Within this new space, new forms of identity projects develop. As Babha (1994) argues, such a state of cultural in-betweenness forms cultural hybridity. By adding “space” dimension into Babha’s focus on cultural dimension of newly formed identities, Lefebvre (2002) spatialize the site of cultural production. Related to Lefebvre and Babha’s ideas, Foucault identified heterotopias as being ‘of other places.’ According to Foucault heterotopia is a relational space to utopian spaces. They are ‘like utopias’; but unlike utopias they have to be ‘enacted’ or practised. In this study, Syrian restaurants will be analysed as places relational to the practices, discourses and signs of identity originating from Syria, but being at the same time ordered by the rules of Turkish society.

As a critique of realism’s focus on power and interest, liberalism and social constructivism has made values and norms popular in foreign policy analysis. There exists a wide literature on relations between universal values and foreign policy. Compare to the richness of macro level analyses of universal values in foreign policy, literature on role of the values of a certain society on nations’ foreign policy choices is rare. Dominant values and norms of a society affect states’ ambitions and behavior in international community. Those social values also influence on governments’ choice of policy, national image and the development of universal concepts such as freedom, peace and social justice. In this context, this paper is aiming to discuss the reflections of social values in foreign policy. Following a brief review of the literature on the subject, the article will discuss and analyze values foreign policy nexus within the framework of Schwartz’ theory of basic values.
The success of 2 weeks long climate change negations at United Nations climate-change summit in P... more The success of 2 weeks long climate change negations at United Nations climate-change summit in Paris was explained with a unique management strategy: INDABA. Indaba (pronounced IN-DAR- BAH) is a strategy used to simplify discussions between many parties by the Zulu and Xhosa peo- ple of southern Africa. Besides indaba, UBUNTU is also known as a South African philosophy to deal with conflicts of all sorts. Similar with indaba and ubuntu, gacaca (justice amongst the grass) tradition in Rwanda has also appeared as a grassroots strategy to resolve conflicts within the soci- ety. It is not just African societies but also other non-Western cultures have their own traditional strategies of conflict resolution and reconciliation. Scholars from non-Western contexts tend to crit- icise sociological and political analyses of the conflicts in non-Western contexts are biased and ori- entalist. The almost impossibility of explaining non-Western social and cultural dynamics with Western analytical and theoretical frameworks is the other line of criticism expressed by the schol- ars and decision makers from the South. As state-society relations and complex socio-political dy- namics of are different from the Western ones, to be able to understand and resolve the non- western conflicts we need authentic conflict resolution, mediation and negotiation models. The western con- cept of mediation is part of the social construction of conflict including theories about the “human nature” and “natural human relationships.” This culture-specific social construction of conflict may itself be object of intercultural conflicts. In this regard, cultural mediation or operationalisation of culture specific conflict resolution strategies could solve the problems that result from the imposi- tion of Western frameworks to resolve conflicts. The aim of this paper is to review selected conflict resolution strategies from African and to discuss anthropological contributions in our ethnocentric understanding of conflict resolution.

Gaziantep Suriye sınırına yakın coğrafi konumdan kaynaklı olarak, İzmir de Ege denizi üzerinden Avrupa’ya geçme imkanlarından dolayı Suriyeli sığınmacıların tercihi olmuştur. Her iki ilde de yaşayan ve çalışan bir araştırmacı olarak 2009 yılından günümüze bu şehirlerimizdeki Suriyelerilerin durumlarını birebir gözlemleme şansım oldu. Bu çalışma İzmir ve Gaziantep’te yapılan gözlemlere ve hem Suriyeliler hem de yerel halk ile yapılan enformel/spontan görüşmelere dayanarak Suriyeli sığınmacıların ve yerel halkın güvenlik algılarının karşılaştırılmasını hedeflemektedir. Mikro seviyede sığınmacılar ve yerel halk arasındaki güvenlik algılarının farklılıkları ve/veya benzerlikleri incelenerek makro seviyede ulusal ve uluslararası mülteci rejimlerinin ve politikalarının yol açtığı insani güvenlik ve ekonomik güvenlik sorunları tartışılmaktadır.

Kavramsal çerçevelerin ve teorik yaklaşımların Ortadoğu gibi farklı sosyal ve siyasi koşullara ve dinamiklere sahip bölgeleri açıklamakta yetersiz kaldığı ya da Ortadoğu'nun uluslararası ilişkiler yaklaşımları ile açıklanamayan bir istisna olduğu öne sürülmektedir. Soğuk Savaşın bitmesi ile süper güçlerin etki alanlarının zayıflaması ve 11 Eylül sonrasında bölgede devlet dışı aktörlerin baskın olarak uluslararası siyaset sahnesinde yer almasıyla bölgenin siyasi tablosu değişmiş, güvenlik gündemi farklılaşmıştır. Bölge dışı aktörlerin, özellikle Batılı aktörlerin bölgeye müdahaleleri bölgenin kompleks dinamiklerinin Batılı analiz çerçeveleriyle analiz edilerek yapıldığı için bölgedeki kaosun artmasına yol açmıştır. Bu eleştiri yazısında Ortadoğu ile ilgili ortaya atılan oyun alegorileri ve bölgeye yönelik yapılan rasyonalite bazlı analizler tartışılacaktır. Hali hazırdaki oyun alegorileri ne dereceye kadar Ortadoğu dış politikasını anlamlandırmamıza yardımcı oluyor? Ortadoğu'nun dış politika analizinin daha isabetli yapılabilmesi için rasyonal yaklaşıma alternatif nasıl bir bakış açısı geliştirilmesi lazım? Son dönemde popüler olan Taht Oyunları benzetmesinin sık sık yapıldığı Ortadoğu'nun kompleks ve kendine özgü dinamiklerini açıklayabilmek için alternatif oyun alegorileri mümkün müdür? Bu soruların cevaplarının tartışılacağı bu çalışmanın aynı zamanda batı merkezli uluslararası ilişkiler çalışmalarına karşıt olarak yapılan batılı olmayan uluslararası ilişkiler yaklaşımlarının geliştirilebilmesi ile ilgili tartışmalara da katkıda bulunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Since the civil conflict erupted in Syria, the lives of both Turks and Syrians have changed drastically. By voicing individual stories of Syrians who sought shelter in Gaziantep, Turkey, and their encounters with the host community, this book contributes to the current literature on Syrian refugees. As such, rather than offering a dry scholarly account of the war and the crisis, it details the emotional odyssey of two academics who lived through such turbulent times alongside Syrians in the Turkey-Syria borderland. The book will appeal to readers who wish to know Syrian refugees as individuals, rather than as a totalistic category. Partly ethnographic and partly oral history, it presents a different side of the crisis in Syria.

Bölüm dersleri sırasında disiplin içinde yer alan kuramlar, kavram- lar ve konular çoğu zaman Batı’nın siyasal tarihinin örnek olayları üzerinden anlatılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Anglo Sakson kökenli bir doğuşla başlayan ve tarih boyunca gelişme gösteren uluslararası iliş- kiler disipline ait literatürün bu şekilde gelişmesi doğaldır. Ancak hem disipline ait kuram ve kavramlara hem de küresel siyasi tarihe yabancı bir öğrenci için disiplini anlamak ne kadar kolaydır? Bu ça- lışma ile uluslararası ilişkiler literatürü içinde yer alan tartışmaları Türkiye’nin siyasal tarihinin örnek olayları üzerinden analiz etmek hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, öğrencilerin öğretim hayatları boyunca duydukları tarihsel örnekler ile, kavramları ve ko- nuları daha kolay bir şekilde anlayabilecekleri düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda ilk çalışma, Uluslararası İlişkiler Tartışmalarında Çanakkale Savaşı başlığı ile hazırlanmıştır. Bu proje, her yıl belir- lenen konu başlıkları ile sürekli yenilenerek devam edecektir.

Türkiye'nin NATO'ya girişini de tetikleyen Sovyetler Birliği kaynaklı komünizm tehdidinden, 1980'lerde sona eren detente döneminin Türkiye'deki yansımalarına ve Soğuk Savaş sonrası ortaya çıkan yeni dünya düzeninden NATO'nun misyonunun sorgulandığı 2000'li yıllara kadar geniş bir zaman diliminde yayınlanan eserlerden bir seçkinin okuması yapılarak Türkiye-NATO ilişkilerinin bir fotoğrafı çekilecektir. Abstract This article reviews NATO-Turkey relations and the changing perceptions of NATO in Turkey through a reading of selected books written on NATO in Turkish. 60 years of Turkey's history with NATO is divided in 4 periods: initial years of membership (1950s-1960s), Cold War period (1960s-1980s), Post Cold War (1990s-2000s) and Post 9/11 (2001-2012). For each period, 2 or 3 books from NATO literature in Turkish are chosen to discuss NATO-Turkey relations and the NATO image prevailed in each particular periods.
