Article Atlantik Paktı’ndan Nato’ya: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde Türkiye’nin Konumu ve Uluslararası Rolü Tartışmalarından Bir Kesit(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.Bu makale Türkiye’nin Kuzey Atlantik İttifakı’na (NATO) giriş sürecinde dış politika söylemleri aracılığıyla oluşan kimliği, eleştirel jeopolitik çerçevesinde irdelemektedir. Bu makalenin ana tezi ülkelerin dış politika yoluyla oluşturdukları kimliklerin sadece konum, kültür ve değerden ibaret olmadığı, bu denkleme bir de ülkelerin üstlendikleri uluslararası işlevin eklenmesi gerektiğidir. Türkiye örneğini değerlendirmek amacıyla Türkiye’nin NATO’ya girişinden hemen önce ve sonrasında Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde (TBMM) yapılan çeşitli konuşmalar incelenmiştir. Varılan sonuç bu yıllarda konum, kültür ve değer olarak kendini Batılı sayan Türkiye’nin Doğu’ya uzanmayı görev olarak bellediği ve dolayısıyla üstü kapalı bir eşiksel kimlik yaratıldığıdır.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 24The Availability of Abortion at State Hospitals in Turkey: a National Study(Elsevier, 2017) O'Neil, Mary LouIntroduction: Abortion in Turkey has been legal since 1983 and remains so today. Despite this in 2012 the Prime Minister declared that in his opinion abortion was murder. Since then there has been growing evidence that abortion access particularly in state hospitals is being restricted although no new legislation has been offered. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the number of state hospitals in Turkey that provide abortions. Study design: The study employed a telephone survey in 2015-2016 where 431 state hospitals were contacted and asked a set of questions by a mystery patient. If possible information was obtained directly from the obstetrics/gynecology department. I removed specialist hospitals from the data set and the remaining data were analyzed for frequency and cross-tabulations were performed. Results: Only 7.8% of state hospitals provide abortion services without regard to reason which is provided for by the current law while 78% provide abortions when there is a medical necessity. Of the 58 teaching and research hospitals in Turkey 9 (15.5%) provide abortion care without restriction to reason 38 (65.5%) will do the procedure if there is a medical necessity and 11 (11.4%) of these hospitals refuse to provide abortion services under any circumstances. There are two regions encompassing 1.5 million women of childbearing age where no state hospital provides for abortion without restriction as to reason. Conclusion: The vast majority of state hospitals only provide abortions in the narrow context of a medical necessity and thus are not implementing the law to its full extent. It is clear that although no new legislation restricting abortion has been enacted state hospitals are reducing the provision of abortion services without restriction as to reason. Implications: This is the only nationwide study to focus on abortion provision at state hospitals. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Isbn 978-0(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2013) Düzgit Aydın, Senem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Debating Eurasia: Political Travels of a Geographical Concept in Turkey(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Yanık, Lerna K.This article reviews the ways in which various actors in Turkey have used the terms 'Eurasia' and 'Eurasianism' since the end of the Cold War. It presents two arguments. First, compared to Russian Eurasianism, it is difficult to talk about the existence of a 'Turkish Eurasianism'. Yet, the article employs the term Turkish Eurasianism as a shorthand to describe the ways in which Eurasia and Eurasianism are employed in Turkey. Second, Turkish Eurasianism is nothing but the use or instrumentalization of Eurasia to create a geopolitical identity for Turkey that legitimizes its political, economic, and strategic interests primarily in the post-Soviet space, but, from time to time, also in the Balkans and Africa. Various Turkish state and non-state actors have used Eurasia to mean different things and justify different goals: reaching out to Turkic Republics, being pro-Russian, creating a sphere of influence in former Ottoman lands, or, recently, cloaking anti-Western currents.Editorial Citation - WoS: 6Determinants of Young People's Civic and Political Participation in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Kaya, AyhanThis special section provides a timely reflection on current debates that are of extreme relevance in order to gain a better understanding of the concepts of citizenship and active citizenship in Turkey by looking at the determinants of civic and political participation at the patterns of political and civic mobilization and at the orientations of political behaviour. Its originality stands on the specific focus on young people in comparison to other age groups. The different papers remark upon the importance that the reframing of the notions of citizenship and active citizenship have in the Turkish context along with the determinants that make this remark more relevant than ever.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 40The Eu and Minority Rights in Turkey(Wiley, 2009) Toktaş, Şule; Aras, Bülent[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 6Feminists' Dilemma-With or Without the State? Violence Against Women and Women's Shelters in Turkey(Ewha Womans Univ Press, 2011) Toktaş, Şule; Diner, ÇağlaThis article aims to describe the achievements of the women's movement in the struggle against domestic violence in Turkey and the points of contention between the state and feminists regarding this issue. Our goal in analyzing the Turkish case of violence against women is to reflect on how women's organizations work with the state; what they demand from it; and how they respond to the complex situations and dilemmas of state funded women's shelters. The article is based on field research; we used techniques of participant observation at annual congresses organized by women's organizations specialized in fighting violence against women and in-depth interviews with feminist activists, volunteers and social workers at women's shelters. It describes the experiences of feminists in Turkey, who are in the position of receiving support from and working closely with the state in running women's shelters.Article Citation - WoS: 9From the Atlantic Pact To Nato: Debating Turkey's Location and Function in the Turkish Grand National Assembly(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.This article using critical geopolitics as a framework analyzes identity formation in Turkey during Turkey's NATO accession. The main thesis of this article is that identity that is made through foreign policy discourse should not only be confined to debates about location culture and values but should also include a country's own perceptions about its international function. This article analyzes debates in the Turkish Grand National Assembly just before and after Turkey's NATO accession and it argues that though Turkish elites perceived itself as part of the West in terms of location culture and values this was not the case in terms of international function. By becoming the disseminator of the Western security understanding to the Middle East as part of the West Turkey during these years has started to carve itself a liminal identity. This limnality however was a covert one because Turkey perceived itself as part of the West in terms of location culture and values but assumed an in-between role in terms of function in the international system.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 13Gender and the Wage Gap in Turkish Academia(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Toktaş, ŞuleTurkey maintains one of the lowest female labour force participation rates in Europe but also boasts an above average number of female professors. Turkey is well above the European average (15 per cent) with approximately 28 per cent of full professorships being occupied by women. Despite these seemingly positive indications do men and women in Turkish academia earn the same wages? This study explores whether or not there exists a gendered pay gap in Turkish academia. Using data collected from a survey of more than 700 Turkish academics we observed that there is a gendered wage gap that disadvantages women but only at the highest pay levels found at private universities indicating the existence of intra-class inequality where men and women despite occupying the same class position are compensated differently.Article Citation - WoS: 5Inter-Asian (post-)neoliberalism? Adoption Disjuncture and Transgression(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015) Akçalı, Emel; Yanık, Lerna K.; Hung, Ho-Fung[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - Scopus: 10International Relations in Turkey: an Evaluation on the Findings of Trip 2018(Uluslararası Ilişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Aydın, Mustafa; Dizdaroğlu, CihanIn parallel with the worldwide studies focusing on the International Relations (IR) discipline, there have been works looking into the transformation of the IR discipline in Turkey and its contribution to the global knowledge production. In order to provide sound data for these studies, International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) conducted two surveys among the Turkish IR academics in 2007 and 2009, and have been cooperating with the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary since then on the Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) project. The TRIP surveys that aim to understand the epistemological and ontological limits, autonomous character of the IR discipline as well as the theoretical, metodological and pedagocial approaches in which IR scholars used in their teaching and research activities, also help to comprehend the place of the Turkish IR scholars within the global IR discipline. This paper presents Turkey-related findings of the lastest survey, which was simultaneously conducted in 35 different countries between February and July 2018.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 19"it Was as If Society Didn't Want a Woman To Get an Abortion": a Qualitative Study in Istanbul Turkey(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017) MacFarlane, Katrina A.; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Tekdemir, Deniz; Foster, Angel M.Introduction: In 1983 abortion without restriction as to reason was legalized in Turkey. However at an international conference in 2012 the Prime Minister condemned abortion and announced his intent to draft restrictive abortion legislation. As a result of public outcry and protests the law was not enacted but media reports suggest that barriers to abortion access have since worsened. Objectives: We aimed to conduct a qualitative study exploring women's recent abortion experiences in Istanbul Turkey. Study design: In 2015 we conducted 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews with women aged 18 or older who had obtained abortion care in Istanbul on/after January 1 2009. We employed a multimodal recruitment strategy and analyzed these interviews for content and themes using deductive and inductive techniques. Results: Women reported on a total of 19 abortions. Although abortion care is available in private facilities only one public hospital provides abortion services without restriction as to reason. Women who had multiple abortions in different facility types described quality of care more positively in the private sector. Unmarried women considered their marital status when making the decision to seek an abortion and reported challenges obtaining comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services. All participants were familiar with the Turkish government's antiabortion discourse and believed that this was reflective of an overarching desire to restrict women's rights. Conclusion: Public abortion services in Istanbul are currently limited and private abortion services are accessible but relatively expensive to obtain. Recent antiabortion political rhetoric appears to have negatively impacted access and service quality. Implications: This is the first qualitative study exploring women's experiences obtaining abortion services in Turkey since the proposed abortion restriction in 2012. Further research exploring the experiences of unmarried women and abortion accessibility in other regions of the country is warranted. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

In addition to Turkey's willingness to open up to the region recent international developments such as the discovery of hydrocarbons off the coast of Israel Egypt and Cyprus the outbreak of the Arab Spring and changes in the regional balance of power have provided momentum for Turkey's engagement with the region. This paper argues that although these factors have provided space for Turkey to play a more assertive role in the region the country has thus far failed to present a successful region-wide strategy or carve up an influence zone.Article Liberalism: a Review of the Literature(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2015) Yanık, Lerna K.This article reviews liberalism as one of the theories of International Relations. This review-will be presented in three sections. In the first section the article will review the historical and philosophical origins of the liberal thought. This will be followed by the introduction of important works in a historical order that helped liberal theory to distinguish itself conceptually theoretically and methodologically from the rest of the field. In the final section in lieu of a conclusion the current state of affairs in liberal theory from theoretical and practical perspectives will be presented. This review underscores the fact that liberalism as a political theory has contributed to the development of liberalism as an International Relations theory yet over the years liberalism has managed to create its own place by developing methodologically and conceptually.Article Liberalizm: Bir Yazın Değerlendirmesi(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2015) Yanık, Lerna K.Bu makalenin amacı, Uluslararası İlişkilerin başlıca kuramlarından biri olan liberalizm hakkında bir yazın değerlendirmesi yapmaktır. Bu değerlendirme üç aşamada yapılacaktır. Öncellikle, liberal geleneğin düşünsel arka planı ele alınacak, ardından tarihsel akışı içinde Uluslararası İlişkiler kuramı olarak liberal geleneğe kavramsal, kuramsal ve metodolojik olarak katkıda bulunan başlıca çalışmalar kısaca tanıtılacaktır. Sonuç bölümünde ise, liberalizmin hem kuram hem de politika olarak hâlihazırda geldiği nokta değerlendirilecektir. Bu değerlendirmede ortaya çıkan en önemli sonuç, Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplininin bir kuramı olarak liberalizmin, bir siyaset felsefesi olarak klasik liberalizmden beslenmesine karşın, zaman içerisinde kendini metodolojik ve kavramsal olarak geliştirmesi ile epistemolojik olarak farklı bir zeminde konumlandırmış olmasıdır.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4A New China: Media Portrayal of Chinese Mega-Cities(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2015) Sevin, Efe; Bjorner, EmmaDuring the last two decades China has started to leave its closed-door policies in the international arena behind and has shown signs of participating in the global economy. Politically and economically China has been developing further relations with the rest of the world. The country points to its mega-cities in its official 5-year plans to facilitate and execute the outreach attempts. In this article we analyze the media representations of two of these mega-cities - Beijing and Shenzhen - with the objective of understanding how their brand images are portrayed and whether these portrayals are in line with the Chinese objectives. We focus on the media representations by arguing that international print media is a crucial platform that has the potential to influence the brand reception of audiences. Consequently we analyze the volume and subject of Beijing and Shenzhen in English language Chinese and international print media outlets. We evaluate the coverage through a place branding framework. The findings of this research suggest the low-level and narrow coverage of the print media hinders the potential of these cities to become world-renowned centers and help facilitate Chinese interaction with the rest of the world.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Smuggling and Trafficking in Turkey: an Analysis of Eu-Turkey Cooperation in Combating Transnational Organized Crime(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Toktaş, Şule; Selimoglu, HandeSince the 1990s there has been a global proliferation of transnational organized crime (TOC). Turkey as a transit site between the East and the West has been one of the routes through which organized crime groups transport illicit goods in collaboration with other networks of crime. This paper investigates TOC in Turkey and maps out Turkey's role as a transit country in smuggling and trafficking. The paper also deals with Turkey's contribution to international efforts in combating TOC in light of its EU membership process. The European Commission's annual reports on Turkey's progress towards EU membership that highlight the achievements as well as the shortcomings of Turkey in combating TOC are presented. The paper argues that Turkey has introduced successful reforms and expanded its institutional capacities due to the progress it has achieved in the specific area of combating TOC as evidenced by the EU progress reports.Editorial Turkey Facing East: Islam Modernity and Foreign Policy(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2015) Yanık, Lerna K.[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Turkey's Involvement in the F-35 Program One Step Forward Two Steps Backward?(Sage Publications Ltd, 2013) Güvenç, Serhat; Yanık, Lerna K.[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Turkey's New Dynamics in Domestic and Foreign Policy(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Aras, Bülent; Toktaş, Şule[Abstract Not Available]
