Article Citation - Scopus: 5The Akp Story: Turkey's Bumpy Reform Path Towards the European Union(2011) McDonald, Deniz BingölThe Justice and Development Party (AKP) government between 2002 and 2007 managed to accomplish unprecedented economic reforms maintaining 8% growth and passed legislation to change Turkey into a more democratic country in line with the Copenhagen political conditions. After being rewarded with the start of accession negotiations in 2005 and an electoral landslide in 2007 AKP's second term in office is in stark contrast with its earlier days of glory. AKP disengaged itself from the IMF agreement and took EU reforms off the top of its agenda bringing half a decade of political and economic reforms to a halt. The paper argues that AKP utilized the credibility of IMF and EU support to defeat its domestic rivals but once the external incentives lessened AKP turned inwards to consolidate its power and cared for little else. The first part of the paper explores how AKP managed to construct such a broad reform consensus and assesses the role of the external influence. The second part explores why and how this reform consensus fell apart.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5How Turkey's Islamists Fell Out of Love With Iran(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) Ünver, Hamid Akın[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: 4Citation - Scopus: 8Imperial Legacies and Neo-Ottomanism: Eastern Europe and Turkey(SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, 2012) McDonald, Deniz BingölThis article examines whether the presence of imperial legacies in Central and South-eastern Europe affects their foreign policy stances and public opinion towards Turkish accession to the EU. It first discusses the boundaries of the ideational factors affecting the perception of Turkey namely the historical legacy of the Ottoman Empire as a European power in Eastern Europe. Secondly it looks at the ideational factors in how Turkish foreign policy more specifically Turkey's EU membership is perceived by Eastern and South-eastern European political elite and public. The author finds that in places where the Ottoman Empire is perceived in more historically distant terms the more positive or neutral views are of Turkish membership. It concludes with a juxtaposition of Eastern European stances with Turkey's new foreign policy strategies. It recommends that Turkish foreign policy should not neglect advocacy in the western part of the old Ottoman sphere of influence where new EU members lie. These may indeed by transformed into new allies to support Turkey's bid against the opponents among older EU members.Book Part Other Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Muslu-El Berni, Hazal[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6The 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 Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Rental Price Convergence in a Developing Economy: New Evidence From Nonlinear Panel Unit Root Test(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2010) Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin; Lau, Chi Keung Marco; Demir, Ender; Astrauskiene, NijoleWe examine the hypothesis of nonlinear rental price convergence using relative rental price index of three major cities of Turkey namely Istanbul Izmir and Ankara span from the period from January 1994 to February 2010.
