• The Russian Policies in the South Caucasus 

  Authors:Çelikpala, Mitat
  Publisher and Date:(IOS Press, 2011)

  In the post-2000 period, Russia's relations with the former Soviet geography, or its "near abroad," are dominated by such issues as energy, namely the dependence of the surrounding countries on Russia, changes in the trade patterns and the impact of globalization, the fight with terrorism, entrenched ethnic conflicts, and the enlargement of Western structures including NATO. In this general framework, the Caucasus has had a special importance for Russia due to its geopolitical and strategic position ...

  
  
• Bargaining with nonanonymous disagreement: Decomposable rules 

  Authors:Kıbrıs, Özgür; Tapkı, İpek Gürsel
  Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011)

  We analyze bargaining situations where the agents' payoffs from disagreement depend on who among them breaks down the negotiations. We model such problems as a superset of the standard domain of Nash (1950). We first show that this domain extension creates a very large number of new rules. In particular, decomposable rules (which are extensions of rules from the Nash domain) constitute a nowhere dense subset of all possible rules. For them, we analyze the process through which "good" properties ...

  
  
• Modeling and forecasting the demand for industrial roundwood in Turkey: A primary econometric approach 

  Authors:Kayacan, Bekir; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Öztürk, Atakan; Bali, Ramazan; Koçer, Sacit; Kaplan, Erdem
  Publisher and Date:(Wfl Publ, 2012)

  This study is a primary econometric analysis to explore the factors explaining the changes in industrial roundwood demand in Turkey. The study also includes demand forecasts based on the econometric models proposed herein. We constructed two separate econometric models: one for national demand for domestically-produced saw log, and the other for national demand for domestically-produced non-sawlog industrial roundwood. Models were originally designed in multiplicative form. The original models are ...

• Women's Shelters in Turkey: A Qualitative Study on Shortcomings of Policy Making and Implementation 

  Authors:Diner, Çağla; Toktaş, Şule
  Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2013)

  Despite a long history of women's movements and policy-making efforts to ameliorate women's status in Turkey, the number and quality of women's shelters are far from sufficient. This article aims to reveal the shortcomings of shelter policy through the lens of those "at work" on this important social issue using a qualitative research design. Forty semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with municipal administrative officials, state social workers, and employees of civil society ...

  Militancy Governance under State Failure: Models of Legitimacy Contestation in Ungoverned Spaces 

  Authors:Ünver, Hamid Akın
  Publisher and Date:(2017)

  This article makes an empirical exposition of militancy governance under state failure by focusing on ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), YPG (People's Protection Units), Luhansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic. Specifically, the article discusses how these groups mobilize different types of grievances and frame their propaganda to exert control over areas where states are weakened. Furthermore, how these groups engage in early modes of pre- and post-territorial control, form ...

• Cultural heritage as status seeking: The international politics of Turkey's restoration wave 

  Authors:Yanık, Lerna K.; Subotic, Jelena
  Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020)

  This article explores the relationship between cultural heritage politics and international status-seeking. We advance a two-fold typology of status-seeking that explains why states engage in cultural heritage restoration practices at home and abroad. First, cultural heritage restoration can be an easy way to signal state respect of its multicultural past while providing cover for continuing anti-multicultural policies of the present. States with uncertain, challenged, or liminal international ...

  The Perceptual Shock of Qatar Foreign Policy in 2017 Crisis: Systemic Factors, Regional Struggles Versus Domestic Variables 

  Authors:Muslu-El Berni, Hazal
  Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2020)

  The Qatar crisis of June 2017 commenced without a warning and restored overlooked regional security dynamics to the state, the political elite, and the Qatari society at large. Qatar was cautious about the diversions of its foreign policy from regional security perceptions of its neighbors, even before the crisis, despite its failure to predict imminent political consequences, emerging from some states within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In the aftermath of the crisis, critical narratives ...

  
  
• 'Who wants left-wing policies? Economic preferences and political cleavages in Turkey' 

  Authors:Yagcı, Alper H.; Harma, Mehmet; Tekgüç, Hasan
  Publisher and Date:(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020)

  We administer a survey of economic policy preferences to a representative sample of the Turkish voting-age population. We show that policy preferences are distributed in non-linear ways that are at odds with what could be expected from a conventional left-right division. We find that while objective socioeconomic differences are bad at predicting economic policy preferences, the latter are distinctly associated with politically salient cleavages built on religiosity and ethnicity. We also examine ...

  Activating reflective thinking with decision justification and debiasing training 

  Authors:İsler, Ozan; Yılmaz, Onurcan; Doğruyol, Burak
  Publisher and Date:(Society for Judgment and Decision making, 2020)

  Manipulations for activating reflective thinking, although regularly used in the literature, have not previously been systematically compared. There are growing concerns about the effectiveness of these methods as well as increasing demand for them. Here, we study five promising reflection manipulations using an objective performance measure — the Cognitive Reflection Test 2 (CRT-2). In our large-scale preregistered online experiment (N = 1,748), we compared a passive and an active control condition ...

  
  
• Contours of Alternative Policy Making in Venezuela 

  Authors:Orhangazi, Özgür
  Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)

  The economic policies of the Venezuelan government in the last decade represent a significant departure from neoliberal orthodoxy. This departure consists of a focus on greater national autonomy, a return to some of the macroeconomic policies of earlier eras, and increased state involvement in the economy through interventions and social programs. While these policies have resulted in improved social indicators, they also have provided space for a set of "transformative" initiatives, including ...

  
  
• Heterogeneous effects of minimum wage on labor market outcomes: A case study from Turkey 

  Authors:Işık, Enes; Orhangazi, Özgür; Tekgüç, Hasan
  Publisher and Date:(Walter de Gruyter, 2020)

  We assess the effects of a sharp minimum wage increase on wages, informality, and employment in Turkey, a large developing economy with one of the highest minimum wage-to-average wage ratios among OECD countries and widespread discrepancies between labor market outcomes of women and of men. We look at the quasi-experimental 2016 minimum wage increase and pay attention to identifying information coming from demographic groups. We find that the increase in the minimum wage had an economically ...

  Is It Merely a Labor Supply Shock? Impacts of Syrian Migrants on Local Economies in Turkey 

  Authors:Cengiz, Doruk; Tekgüç, Hasan
  Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications, 2021)

  The authors use the occurrence of a large and geographically varying inflow of more than 2.5 million Syrian migrants to Turkey between 2012 and 2015 to study the effect of migration on local economies. They do not find adverse employment or wage effects for native-born Turkish workers overall or for those without a high school degree. These results are robust to a range of strategies to construct reliable control groups. To explain the findings, the authors document the importance of three ...
