Item Open Access Women in banking: A comparative perspective on the integration myth(1992) Culpan, O.; Akdag, F.; Cindogvlu, D.This article reports on the results of two similar surveys conducted with professional women bankers, one in the USA and the other in Turkey, to explore socio-economic backgrounds, attitudes towards work, and the nature of the support they receive as such. It also describes the views of women bankers in both cultures with reference to sexual discrimination in the workplace and also their varying levels of job satisfaction and frustration. In the last decade, the number of professional women has increased substantially in the workplace. In particular, women have made significant advancements in the banking industry[l], where 190 of them serve as Presidents at the 14,000 banks in the US, and where the number of them serving as executives has tripled over the last decade. A similar trend also exists in Turkey[2]. The number of women bankers has increased since 1971, and these women have high potential for promotion to executive positions. Because banks are major employers of women, women bankers represent an important case study. Studying women and their professional advancement in banks will provide guidelines for other women professionals striving to achieve professional advancement. A comparative study will help to expand the boundaries of knowledgeability about the advancement of professional women bankers to an international level.Item Open Access The Black Sea economic co-operation project: a regional challenge to European integration(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 1993) Gençkaya, Ö.

J.; Lipset, S. M.Item Open Access Articulating difference: the problem of the other in international political economy(Routledge, 1995) Keyman, E. FuatThis paper demonstrates that advancing our understanding of international political economy (IPE) entails posing the question of otherness and difference as an object of theoretical and historical inquiry. It suggests that the discourses of postmodernism, feminism, and postcolonial criticism directly contribute to IPE by locating the problematic of identity/difference at the center of the dialectic of social change. By pinpointing the strength and the problematic nature of each of these discourses, it argues that the reconstruction of IPE based on the recognition of difference requires ‘an empathetic cooperation’ among these discourses as a precondition for the creation of a dialogical interaction between theoretical discourse and subject-positions to whom it is addressed.Item Open Access Turkey: a new player in Middle Eastern politics(Duke University Press, 1995) Muftuler, M.Item Open Access Paradoxes of Turkish democratic development: the struggle between the military-bureaucratic "founders" of democracy and new democratic forces(Westview Press, 1995) Özbudun, Ergun; Chehabi, H.

It demonstrates the significant role the housing environment plays in the lives of women, both by defining who they are and by shaping their daily lives through encouraging some behavior and discouraging others. Gecekondu housing is potentially a source of negative identity for those migrant women whose reference group is the modern established urbanites, whereas those migrant women who take the gecekondu community as their reference group tend to preserve a positive image of themselves. On the other hand, apartment housing enhances a feeling of achievement in its residents of village origin. Furthermore, gecekondu housing encourages intimate social relations and thereby social control, whereas apartment housing demands some formality in neighborly relations and provides privacy. As social agents, women use their environment actively, attempting to foster certain images of themselves, and communicating those images to others as well as to themselves. This is particularly apparent in the case of modern gecekondu women who, by their outward appearances and demeanor, challenge the negative image attributed to gecekondu residents by the larger society.Item Open Access Citizenship at the crossroads: İmmigration and the nation-state(Pinter Pub, 1996) İçduygu, Ahmet; Kofman, E.; Youngs, G.Item Open Access The new orientalism(Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies, 1996) Salt, Jeremy; Saikal, A.; Kertesz, C.Item Open Access The rise of a spontaneous synthesis: the historical background of Turkish popular music(Taylor & Francis, Ltd., 1996) Tekelioğlu, O.
