Turkey and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: an Interplay of Bloc (de)formation, Recognition and Asymmetric Interdependencies?
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Yanik, Lerna K.; Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Political Science and International Relations
This piece answers some of the issues (such as the potential emergence of new blocs, the role of interdependencies, and Western recognition) raised in Debating the War in Ukraine by examining Turkey's role in the war in Ukraine. It argues that Turkey's somewhat balanced policy in the war, trying to please both Ukraine and Russia, stems from three main considerations. First, Turkey's economic and strategic asymmetric interdependency (in Syria) on Russia prevents Turkey from taking actions that might run against Russian interests in the war in Ukraine. Second, Turkey's balanced attitude legitimizes Turkey's position to undertake mediation efforts to end the war, fulfill the global leadership role envisioned by the JDP-led Turkey, and also has the potential to garner Turkey some Western recognition, which might not be domestically translated. Finally, the balanced attitude is also a well-poised strategy for Turkey to garner a stake in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

The making of Turkish exceptionalism: the west, the rest and unreconciled issues from the past
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Political Science and International Relations
This article has two main goals. The first is to examine the role of politics of space and time in making Turkey's international relations. The second is to answer a more general question: what happens to a non-Western state like Turkey that cannot eliminate 'differences' that mark that state as non-Western? My answer is that these states handle these 'differences' that do not entirely disappear by creating exceptionalism. Exceptionalism rebrands 'difference' as 'distinctiveness' that can only be possessed by a specific country or nation. The article identifies two main pathways to the creation of Turkish exceptionalism, space and time, and explores the brief history of these spatio-temporal imaginations leading to the making of the exceptionalist narrative and their implications for Turkey's foreign relations and identity.

Science and flags: deconstructing Turkey's Antarctic strategy
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, 2021) Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Karaoğuz, H. Emrah; Political Science and International Relations
This article explores Turkey's recent increased interest in the Antarctic by deconstructing how this interest contributes to the making of Antarctic nationalism(s). It makes two arguments. First, Turkey's status-seeking by being present in the Antarctic contributes to Antarctic nationalism(s) by invoking three distinct yet overlapping strands of nationalisms - banal, pragmatic-techno and Kemalist nationalisms, or what we term assemblage nationalism. Second, we argue that it was this nationalist trope that became the mutual language between Turkey's ruling elite and scientists, and one of the factors that prompted a change of strategy in Turkey's Antarctic policy. Turkey's status-seeking combined with this nationalist trope, which highlighted compatibility with the former's broader discourse on technological upgrading and economic development, helped the Turkish ruling elite and scientists frame and make sense of the country's presence in Antarctica. We conclude that when status-seeking involves collaboration with foreigners, a 'more benign' form of nationalism becomes possible.
Türkiye Sağlık Sektöründe Neo-liberal Dönüşüm
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2013) Karafazlı, Dilek; Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Yanık, Lerna; Political Science and International Relations
Çalışmamızda, "Sağlıkta Dönüşüm Projesi" tüm bileşenleriyle Türkiye?deki sağlık sektörü kapsamında değerlendirilmektedir. Dünyada ve Türkiye?de sağlık sektörü, 1980?den beri gerçekleştiği düşünülen neo-liberal dönüşüme paralel olarak yapısal değişikliklere uğramış ve "sosyal bir hak" olmaktan çıkarılmaya dönük politikalara maruz kalmıştır. Bu değişimler Türkiye?deki sosyal güvenlik sistemi, kamu ve özel hastane kuruluşları, ilaç tedariki ve aşılar, medikal cihazlar ve sağlık turizmi ile sağlıktaki emek gücü üzerinden ekonomik sonuçları bakımından incelenmeye değer görülmüştür. Varılan sonuçlarla Türkiye?nin Dünya Bankası ile yapılan anlaşmalar gereğince "Sağlıkta Dönüşüm Projesi"nin son on yıldaki Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi Hükümetleri döneminde hızlandığı ve Türkiye?deki sistemin neo-liberal politikalarla dönüşmeye başladığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

The Rise and Fall of the Ottoman Empire's Religiously Inspired Status Symbols
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Hisarlioglu, Fulya; Hisarlıoğlu, Fatma Fulya; Yanik, Lerna K.; Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Political Science and International Relations
How do status symbols rise and fall? Or better said, how does a status symbol become a status symbol and then cease to be one? We examine the rise and the fall of the Ottoman Empire's two socialization practices with the international society as status symbols: sending and receiving envoys/establishing permanent representation abroad and granting capitulations/extraterritoriality-economic and legal privileges to primarily European countries. We argue and illustrate that status symbols are products of hegemons of the time that dictate the status symbols of the international order at that particular point in time, with little or no recognition. These symbols emanating from the position that the states occupy in the hierarchy can be status-enhancing rather than status-achieving if these states perceive and locate themselves in the higher echelons of the hierarchy in the international order. We contribute to status-seeking literature by examining the rise and fall of status symbols in a non-Western setting and merging ideational and material factors in status-seeking literature.

Identity, Cultural Heritage and the Politics of Sovereignty: Narrating Turkey and Greece Through Ayasofya
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Hisarlıoğlu, Fatma Fulya; Koharik Yanık, Lerna; Yanik, Lerna K.; Political Science and International Relations
The article examines how Turkey's decision to reconvert the Ayasofya Museum into a mosque in June 2020 has shaped the 'self' and 'other' perceptions of the Greek and Turkish politicians of their respective countries by instrumentalizing the concept of sovereignty. We argue that what has been termed 'the right to sovereignty' by Turkey's leadership through the reconversion of Ayasofya-from a museum to a mosque-is indeed a 'sovereignty performance'. What is more, we deconstruct how 'sovereignty performances' centred on the conversion of Ayasofya produced by Turkey and Greece came to define, narrate and naturalize the essence and standards of 'national' and 'foreign/international' legitimizing mutual and respective identity perceptions held for themselves and each other.
