    Turkey's Green Imagination: the Spatiality of the Low-Carbon Energy Transition Within the Eu Green Deal
    (Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2023) Akcali, Emel; Gormus, Evrim; Ozel, Soli
    This article asks the extent to which the EU Green Deal influences the EU periphery today and builds on the spatial conditions of multiple, co-existing decarbonization pathways within the EU Green Deal while problematizing the 'green imagination' of Turkey as an immediate neighbour and a candidate country for membership in the EU. As such, it uncovers that the current low-carbon transition process in Turkey is prone to be shaped by the highly politicized energy market in an authoritarian neoliberal structure on the one hand, and Turkey's priorities in energy issues and hard security on the other. The findings further reveal that Turkey's efforts to use more domestic energy resources to meet its consumption needs might also interfere with its efforts and obligations to decarbonize its energy sector. The scrutiny into the low-carbon energy transition in Turkey accordingl contributes further insight into the consequences of the spatiality of such transitions in an authoritarian neoliberal context, and what other alternative policies can be imagined and put in practice. Thus, more empirical research is warranted to reveal the spatiality of the low-carbon energy transition across various geographical settings. At the same time, the article argues that both the EU and its partners such as Turkey should be weary of creating green utopias when redesigning their green-energy space since utopias tout court may not always stimulate large-scale change in a revolutionary way in terms of sustainability, feasibility, good practice, and inclusiveness in decision-making processes.

    Mustang: Translating Willful Youth
    (Taylor and Francis, 2022) Akçali, E.; Çakirlar, C.; Güçlü, O.
    This book provides a critically informed account of the Turkey-born France-based director Deniz Gamze Ergüven's debut film Mustang (2015), which tells the story of five orphaned sisters living with their grandmother and uncle in a remote Turkish village. The film's familiar art-house style, and its universalising focus on female coming-of-age and feminist dissent, resulted in celebratory reviews from journalists and scholars of world cinema. Meanwhile, Mustang's framing of youth in the Turkish national context, and its representation of gender, divided Turkish film critics and cultural theorists. These divisions led to a debate that questions the politics of transnational feminism by criticising the film's failure to capture the local intricacies of the politics of gender and youth. While this book aims to locate Mustang within the intersection of emerging female and youth narratives in the cinema of Turkey, it also provides a critical understanding of the differences in Mustang's local and global reception. This focus on the geopolitics of representation informs the diverse criteria this study uses to evaluate Ergüven's stylistic choices. Engaging with both Anglophone and Turkish literature in youth cinema and gender studies, the book makes an original contribution to current debates on national/transnational cinemas and gender/youth studies and is an accessible reference for graduate and undergraduate study of contemporary film. Elif Akçali is Associate Professor in Film and TV Studies at Kadir Has University, Turkey. Her research focuses on film aesthetics, videographic criticism, non-fiction film, and gender/sexuality studies. © 2023 Elif Akçali, Cüneyt Çakirlar and özlem Güçlü. All rights reserved.

    Turkey’s Green Imagination: the Spatiality of the Low-Carbon Energy Transition Within the Eu Green Deal
    (2023) Akcali, Emel; Görmüş, Evrim; Ozel, Soli

    Little Aleppo: the Neighbourhood Experiences of Syrian Refugees in Adana, Turkey, 'poor To Poor, Peer To Peer'
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Akcali, Emel
    The current refugee regimes (national/international and EUropean) present significant limitations in the ways they deal with refugee flows. However, both refugees and the host societies are able to develop their own agencies and strategies against such confines. This article pieces together the place-making and reterritorialisation efforts of Syrian refugees, the impact of their arrival on and interaction with the local population in the neighbourhoods of Adana in Turkey that has hosted the largest number of Syrian refugees and have become known as 'Little Aleppo'. The analysis of Syrians' experiences that emerge in their new settlements sheds new light on the ways in which urban refugees are able to increase their own agency and choose the solution(s) most appropriate to their own particular circumstances by establishing 'poor-to-poor, peer-to-peer' contacts, rather than depending on the few choices offered to them through refugee regimes. The locals, in return, are motivated by the newcomers' presence to reassess their own socio-economic positions and choices in the land of nation states, even though encounters with the refugees may at times elicit negative feelings.

    Master Thesis
    Bölgesellik ve Küresel Diplomaside Brıcs: Değişimin Katalizörü Mü?
    (2024) Sharıff, Naveen; Karaoğuz, Hüseyin Emrah; Akçalı, Emel
    Küreselleşme ve teknolojinin patlamasıyla birlikte uluslararası sistem, çeşitli şekillerde tezahür eden artan kutuplaşmaya tanık oldu. Uzmanlar dünyanın, gücün birden fazla merkez arasında dağıtıldığı çok kutupluluğa doğru kaydığına inanıyor. Bu araştırma, hükümetlerarası örgüt BRICS'in (Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan, Çin ve Güney Afrika) bu dönüştürücü sürecin ön saflarında yer aldığını ileri sürüyor. Bu çalışma, BRICS'in önemli bir siyasi aktör olarak kapasitesini ve potansiyelini eleştirel bir şekilde değerlendiriyor ve bölgesel ve küresel ortamlarda diplomatik bir rol üstlenmedeki siyasi ve ekonomik yapılanmaları araştırıyor. 'BRICS bölgeselcilikte ve küresel diplomaside nasıl bir rol oynamaya çalışıyor?' sorusunu ele almayı amaçlıyor. Bulgular, BRICS'in daha çeşitli bir küresel düzenlemeyi şekillendirmede rol oynarken bölgesel işbirliğini ve diplomasiyi teşvik etme kapasitesini doğruluyor. Bu projenin doğasında olan zorlukların ve karmaşıklıkların kabul edilmesine rağmen araştırma, BRICS liderliğindeki küresel bir yeniden yapılanmanın makul olduğunu öne sürüyor. Anahtar Sözcükler: BRICS, Küresel Diplomasi, Bölgeselcilik, Çok Kutupluluk, Küresel Yönetişim
