Digital diplomacy and international society in the age of populism
(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2023-02-05) Erpul, Onur; Hare, P. W.; Manfredi-Sánchez, J. L.; Weisbrode, Kenneth
In recent decades, states have extended their diplomatic efforts to engage with the international community and their domestic audiences as a tool of legitimization. With the advent of the internet, this trend has culminated in regularized public interactions over social media. While the internet presents yet another avenue for diplomatic agents to communicate benign messages consistent with the aims and scope of traditional diplomacy, social media also offers populist democracies and authoritarian states the opportunity to broadcast politicized, divisive, propagandistic, and personalistic messages aimed at domestic consumption that are incompatible with the purposes of diplomacy. The main goal of this chapter is to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the potential adverse effects of diplomatic agents’ internet and social media usage by exploring the Turkish government’s social media practices. Turkey offers an opportune case study as a state that has exhibited elements of populism, authoritarianism, and personalization of politics, while also showcasing abundant examples of negative diplomatic interactions on social media, stemming from the vicissitudes of its relations with major powers and allies alike.

English School theory of international relations: Its origins, concepts, and debates
(2010) Devlen, B.; Ozdamar O.
This article introduces and evaluates the English School of international relations theories. First we discuss the School's roots, traditions, founding fathers and its ontology and methodology. Then the main arguments of the English School (ES) that constitute its core tenets and the grand questions that the founding fathers discussed are presented. In the second part, the two paths - normative and structural - taken by second generation ES scholars are discussed. This article argues that ES has a potential to be a 'grand theory' for the IR literature due to its rich theoretical background that allows both analytical and normative analyses.

Uluslararası ilişkilerde İngiliz Okulu kuramı: kökenleri, kavramları ve tartışmaları
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2010) Devlen, B.; Özdamar, Özgür
Bu makale uluslararası ilişkilere kuramsal yaklaşımlardan biri olan İngiliz Okulu’nu tanıtmayı ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. İngiliz Okulu’nun ne olduğunu anlatmak için, öncelikle Okul’un kökleri, kurucuları, ontolojik ve yöntembilimsel duruşu tanıtılmış ve tartışılmıştır. Daha sonra Okul’un özünü oluşturan temel argümanlar belirlenmiş ve kurucularının tartıştıkları önemli sorular ele alınmıştır. Makalenin ikinci bölümünde ise, Okulun ikinci nesli diyebileceğimiz kuramcıların ürettikleri normatif ve yapısalcı eserlere ve tartışmalara yer verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak makale Okulun hem normatif hem de analitik analizlere imkân sağladığı için bir ‘büyük kuram’ potansiyeline sahip olduğunu iddia etmektedir.
