Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Energy Security in South East Europe(Palgrave, 2013) Cehulic, Lidija; Kuznetsov, Alexey V.; Çelikpala, Mitat; Gleason, Gregory[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - Scopus: 12Turkey's Dilemmas(2011) Özel, Soli; Özcan, GencerTurkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which prides itself on serving as a regional model of democratic governance, often pays lip service to human rights and democratic principles in its foreign policy. Yet when dealing with politically less than attractive regional partners, the AKP will frequently maintain public silence rather than risk harm to Turkish interests, particularly economic ones. Will the more robust human-rights policy that Turkey has begun to apply in the Middle East be extended to Ankara’s dealings with other parts of the world? This remains unclear, yet it seems obvious that the principles which the present AKP government has laid down as markers for future foreign-policy activities will tend to make it increasingly costly for Turkey to turn a blind eye to human-rights abuses abroad.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 11Turkish Efforts in Peacekeeping and the Introduction of the Tubakov Dataset: an Exploratory Analysis(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yalçınkaya, Haldun; Hatipoğlu, Emre; Acar, Dilaver Arikan; Çelikpala, MitatThis study introduces the TUBAKOV dataset which offers extensive data on 57 peacekeeping operations (PKOs) that Turkey has contributed to between the years 1988-2015. TUBAKOV improves existing data in several ways. First it draws data from governmental resources that have not been previously used. Second Turkey's contributions for each PKO are presented both at the levels of PKO and PKO-contribution year format. The website of the dataset also allows access to qualitative data such as primary text sources hence facilitating qualitative and multi-method research on peacekeeping. Preliminary analyses indicate that the frequency nature and the geographic focus of Turkey's contributions to peacekeeping operations demonstrate a significant shift with the new millennium. Preliminary findings offer interesting insights to the changing characteristics of Turkey's PKO involvements relating to the content geography and timing of these contributions over the time period covered by this dataset.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 10The Perceptual Shock of Qatar Foreign Policy in 2017 Crisis: Systemic Factors, Regional Struggles Versus Domestic Variables(Sage Publications Inc, 2020) Muslu-El Berni, HazalThe 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 of the neighboring states on Qatar's independent policies intimidated at the top leadership level and necessitates an analysis of the crisis, navigating through domestic settings facing systemic and regional pressures. This article aims to analyze the impact of the crisis on the perceptions of Qatari decision-makers, its society, and its tribes using the "perceptual shock" concept of neoclassical realism. It contends that despite the ongoing regional isolation of Qatar by the Saudi-led quartet, comprising Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt, Qatar's state apparatus and its relations with the society continued to strengthen due to the complex relationship between the domestic variables and systemic factors, and their relation to regional dynamics.Article Literature of Immigration as a Literature of Europe(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Schneider, AnnedithAny understanding of European literature that does not include immigrant literature results in an incomplete vision of literature created in Europe. As immigrant writers have sought to find a place for themselves and their writing the labels attached to that writing have been crucial. While such debates certainly have to do with the writers themselves and how they seek to have their writing read they also reflect an anxiety in Europe about what counts as European literature and not incidentally who counts as European. To examine these issues this article takes the example of the work of Franco-Turkish writer Sema Klckaya. In contrast to the usual French fear of communautarisme which signals for many the fragmentation of society along ethnic and religious lines the article argues that Klckaya's writing provides another model for national and European belonging one that depends perhaps paradoxically on sub-national and local belonging - in both the country of origin and the country of settlement.Book Review Varieties of Capitalism in Asia: Beyond the Developmental State(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2018) Karaoğuz, Hüseyin Emrah[Abstract Not Available]Book Review Identity and Turkish Foreign Policy: the Kemalist Influence in Cyprus and the Caucasus(Cambridge Univ Press, 2013) Ünver, Hamid Akın[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 76National Role Conceptions and Foreign Policy Orientation: the Ideational Bases of the Justice and Development Party's Foreign Policy Activism in the Middle East(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Aras, Bülent; Görener, Aylin[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 5Changing Naval Balances in the Eastern Mediterranean: Implications for Turkey(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2016) Güvenç, Serhat; Egeli, SıtkıThis paper is aimed at providing an assesement of the growing Russian naval strength and assertiveness in the Eastern Mediterranean and its implications for Turkey's place in the regional naval power hierarchy after Moscow's direct involvement in the Syrian conflict in 2015. Although the main focus is on the Eastern Mediterranean the region obviously cannot be decoupled from the Black Sea and to some extent from the Aegean. Therefore this paper argues that the naval power hierarchy in these three regions have both historically influenced and been influenced by developments in others.Article Survey of International Relations Faculty in Turkey: Research, Teaching and Views on the Discipline - 2009 [türkiye'de Uluslararasi I?lişkiler Akademisyenleri Araştırma, E?itim Ve Disiplin De?erlendirmeleri Anketi - 2009](International Relations Council of Turkey, 2010) Aydın, Mustafa; Yazgan, KorhanOne of the major weaknesses of the studies on the development of International Relations (IR) curricula in Turkey is the lack of systematic data on the characteristics history development and current status of the IR academia. In order to reveal research practices of academicians and how international relations is taught and how IR scholars perceive the discipline an online survey was conducted among the faculty members of the IR Departments in Turkey in June-July 2009. Scholars were asked to answer 55 questions about the IR curriculum courses research subjects and major theoretical approaches political attitudes funds language and types of publication academic journals universities the involvement of academy in policy-making process and nonacademic intellectual activities. The results of the survey indicates that IR studies in Turkey seems to be foreign policy oriented focus on Turkey and the big power policies and the discipline is under the influence of Realism.Article Survey İnternational Relations Faculty İn Turkey: Teaching, Research And International Politics -2011[türkiye'de Uluslararası{dotless} İlişkiler Akademisyenleri E?itim, Araştı{dotless}rma ve Uluslararası{dotless} Politika Anketi - 2011](International Relations Council of Turkey, 2013) Aydın, Mustafa; Yazgan, KorhanFollowing the surveys which were conducted in 2007 and 2009 by the International Relations Council of Turkey Teaching Research and International Politics Survey 2011 was implemented in 2011 in cooperation with the Teaching Research and International Politics - TRIP Survey which has been carried out by the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Re lations at the College of William and Mary in the United States since 2004. The survey aims to explain and understand the development current status and major characteristics of the In ternational Relations (IR) studies in Turkey its place in the global IR discipline and the views of IR scholars on major issues on the global regional and national agenda. This report aims to present the results of the survey comparatively at the global and national scale. The findings were organized in such a way to also test the argument that there is a functional core/periphery division in the world of IR according to which the Western core countries undertake theoreti cal knowledge production and other countries provide local expertise and data.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Fog of Leadership: How Turkish and Russian Presidents Manage Information Constraints and Uncertainty in Crisis Decision-Making(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Ünver, Hamid AkınLeaders choose to mislead their domestic peers when the political risk and cost associated with a particular foreign policy decision is too great and when the structure of the political system in question is too leader-centric to afford these costs being incurred by the leader. This article argues that risk uncertainty and imperfect information are not necessarily external unwanted or unforeseen factors in foreign policy decisions. In certain cases they too are instrumentalized and adopted consciously into decision-making systems in order to diffuse the political costs of high-risk choices with expected low utility by insulating the leader from audience costs. This dynamic can be best observed in leader-centric and strong personality cult systems where the leader's consent or at least tacit approval is required for all policies to be realized. This article uses two important case studies that effectively illustrate the use of deliberate uncertainty in decision-making in leader-centric systems: post-2014 Russia (War in Donbass and the annexation of Crimea) and Turkey (ending of the Kurdish peace process and the change in policy towards Syria).Editorial Citation - WoS: 3Roundtable Discussion on Homegrown Theorizing(Center Foreign Policy & Peace Research, 2018) Aydinli, Ersel; Aydın, Mustafa; Baran, Emre; Makarychev, Andrey; Smith, Karen; Gozen, Ramazan; Ipek, Pinar; Kuru, Deniz; Ozdemir, Haluk; Shih, Chih-Yu; Mallavarapu, Siddharth; Chen, Ching-Chang; Kostem, Seckin; Ersoy, Eyup; Jorgensen, Knud Erik; Esen, Berk[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 4THE LOGIC OF SECRECY: DIGITAL SURVEILLANCE IN TURKEY AND RUSSIA(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2018) Ünver, Hamid AkınTurkey and Russia have been developing comparable approaches to digital surveillance. The advent of Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs) and social media platforms have enabled significantly increased systematic state surveillance. From the state's perspective, data-centric digital surveillance is required for two reasons. First, the extent and depth at which terrorist organizations and criminal groups use these platforms for recruitment, logistics, and planning. Second, this trend is driven by a variant of "security dilemma" in which one state's intelligence advantage in digital space renders other states relatively less secure, generating a never-ending momentum of digital surveillance capability investment. Turkish and Russian surveillance regimes have grown as two particularly problematic cases in the wider surveillance literature.Article Citation - WoS: 9Survey International Relations Faculty in Turkey: Teaching Research and International Politics-2011(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2013) Aydın, Mustafa; Yazgan, KorhanFollowing the surveys which were conducted in 2007 and 2009 by the International Relations Council of Turkey Teaching Research and International Politics Survey 2011 was implemented in 2011 in cooperation with the Teaching Research and International Politics TRIP Survey. which has been carried out by the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary in the United States since 2004.

Despite the enduring importance of transit to the global energy system, the topic did not begin to be extensively analyzed until contentious relations between Russia and Ukraine disrupted natural gas flows to Europe in 2006. This chapter examines the geopolitics and security of transiting gas through pipelines by exploring the connection between geography, global energy strategies, and natural gas markets. Gas has grown in recent years as a percentage of global energy consumption and is helping the world transition to a cleaner energy regime. At the same time, it is intensifying the contest for and control of gas-transit routes. Russia, the world’s second-largest producer, has built new pipelines to Europe since 2006 in order to diversify its flow from relying on Ukraine, while the USA, the world’s largest gas producer, is increasingly exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) through sea routes mostly controlled by the US navy. We argue that geostrategic calculations will more profoundly affect gas transit in the future and that countries that rely solely on market or commercial factors for their gas-transit security will become increasingly vulnerable to geopolitical volatility.Book Part Citation - WoS: 5Changing Dynamics of Turkish Foreign and Security Policies in the Caucasus(Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2011) Aydın, Mustafa[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Eu Conditionality and Desecuritization Nexus in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Acikmese Akgul, SinemBorrowing the Copenhagen school's lexicon of desecuritization the present paper appraises the EU's role as a desecuritizing agent for Turkey with a particular focus on security speech-acts about Kurdish separatism' and political Islam'.
