Survey International Relations Faculty in Turkey: Teaching, Research and International Politics -2011;

Abstract

Following 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.
