Europeanization under Membership Uncertainty: The Cases of Environmental and Energy Policy in Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2013)This article examines modalities of rule adoption from the EU's acquis communautaire under conditions of membership uncertainty Drawing upon the case of Turkey we probe into the viability of a policy-type approach (drawing upon Theodor Lowi). Our main contention is that the substantive design of policies (distributive or redistributive qualities) has consequential implications for the form (conflict-free vs. veto player constellations) and outcome (transposition likelihood) of the subsequent ...

Flow Structure in a Mixing Layer Developing Over Flat Bed at High Reynolds Numbers
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IAHR-INT ASSOC HYDRO-ENVIRONMENT ENGINEERING RESEARCH, 2015)Results of a high resolution Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) are used to characterize the evolution of a shallow mixing layer developing between two parallel streams in a long open channel with a flat bed at a high Reynolds number (ReD= 160000). The influence of Reynolds number on the development of the mixing layer as well as the vertical nonuniformity in the mixing layer structure is discussed. The numerical results show that as Reynolds number increases the mixing layer development ceases earlier. ...

Forecasting the Coal Production: Hubbert Curve Application on Turkey's Lignite Fields
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science, 2016)The dependence on imported energy sources is one of the biggest challenges that Turkey and many other similar countries face in the 21st Century and the gap between production and consumption cannot be decreased without increasing the domestic production. Forecasting of domestic energy production therefore plays a vital role in order to be able to develop sound energy policies towards maintaining sustainable development. However although this question is essential in this respect especially for ...

Energy in Turkey and Russia's Roller-Coaster Relationship
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Seta Foundation, 2017)Energy relations between Turkey and Russia provide an excellent example of how energy and politics interrelate in countries with a historically up-and-down relationship. Having started in the 1960s the two countries' energy relations gained a new dimension after 1991 with the intensification of pipeline politics. In the 2000s energy relations gained impetus owing to the leadership of Erdogan and Putin and reached an apex with the establishment of a cooperation council in 2010. Since 2011 Turkey's ...

Geostrategic challenges in the oil and gas sectors
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer International Publishing, 2018)This chapter identifies the major geostrategic challenges that have emerged during the last two decades and assesses their implications for the global oil and gas sectors. The historical development of oil prices shows that there have been two major periods of volatility 1973-1986 and 1998-present each of which was preceded by two relatively stable periods. The two oil price shocks of the 1970s that were triggered by geopolitical events had long-term effects on global politics and economics. Major ...

Introduction: Energy economics finance and geostrategy
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer International Publishing, 2018)Since countries’ economic independence is based on energy security decisions on energy economy and financing are assessed mainly by geostrategic considerations. Economically optimal decisions are not enough regarding geostrategy. This situation makes it difficult to make decisions in energy markets and it creates considerable controversy. The role of financial markets is to measure the risk of this complex structure or energy projects and price them in financial basis. Understanding behavior of ...

A Farewell to King Coal: Geopolitics, Energy Security, and the Transition to Oil, 1898–1917
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019)Interest in energy transitions has accelerated in recent years due to rising concerns about global warming and resource scarcity but the drivers of these phenomena are not well understood. To date scholars have primarily focused on commercial and technological factors highlighting that oil was 'better' than coal - more powerful cheaper cleaner and more practical to use - and that the internal combustion engine made it more advantageous to use in transportation. Yet oil was also a strategic commodity ...
