1965-2000 yılları arasında Türkiye dışişleri bakanlığında görev yapmış kadınların yaşadıkları
(Bilkent University, 2021) Oğuzülgen, Ali Emir; Toral, Aybala; Vardar, Gözde Zeynep; Boztuğ, Deniz; Muratal, Meriç
Dünyanın pek çok ülkesinde olduğu gibi ülkemizde de kadınların iş hayatına aktif olarak katılmaları 20. yüzyılda başlamış ve cumhuriyetin ilanı ile hızlanarak devam etmiştir. Bu süreçte yeni kurulmuş olan Cumhuriyet hükümetinin eşitlikçi politikaları olmasına rağmen cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarına bakıldığı zaman kadınların Dışilerinde erkekler kadar aktif rol almadığı veya alamadığı gözlenmiştir. Ülkelerini yabancı ülkelerde temsil ederek, orada yaşayan vatandaşlarına hizmet veren ayrıca vatanlarının, bulundukları diğer uluslar ile olan politik ilişkilerinde çeşitli roller oynayan Dışişleri mensuplarının önemli bir bölümünü oluşturan kadınların, 1965-2000 yılları arasındaki yaşantılarına ışık tutmak, yaşam şartlarını ve yaptıkları görevleri öğrenmek bu araştırmanın temel amacıdır. Ayrıca Dışişlerinde çalışan kadınların sıradan ve basit hayatlar yaşamadıkları, görev esnasında çeşitli zorluk ve tehditlerle karşılaştıkları da okuyucuya aktarılmaya çalışılacaktır.

The promise of NATO in the construction of cooperative Turkish–Greek relations
(Frank Cass Publishers, 2004) Oğuzlu, H. T.
This study seeks to explore the reasons why joint membership in NATO could not help Turkey and Greece resolve their long-standing territorial disputes in a problem solving win–win framework, based on the transformation of their realpolitik security cultures into nonrealpolitik security cultures. In undertaking this task, this article employs a partly theoretical and partly empirical perspective. The theoretical part assesses the expectations of various international relations theoretical accounts of the impact of international institutions/organizations on behaviors of states. There exist two main theoretical currents that aim at analyzing such a relationship. While rationalistic-institutionalist approaches conﬁne the impact of international institutions/organizations only to behaviors of states, sociological-institutionalist approaches argue that institutional linkages not only shape and constrain states’ behavioral strategies but also reconstruct their identities and interests. The empirical part of the essay analyses the Turkish–Greek interaction process within the framework of the Alliance from 1952 onwards, with particular attention paid to post-Cold War era developments. This article argues that the theoretical expectations of the above-mentioned approaches, particularly those of sociological-institutionalism and the neo-liberal version of rationalist-institutionalism, have been proved wrong. Turkey and Greece have neither succeeded in adjusting their behaviors to each other’s needs and expectations, nor have they developed collective identities and interests that might in the ﬁnal analysis have enabled them to form a security community in their region and solve their disputes once and for all.

Time to quantify Turkey’s foreign affairs: setting quality standards for a maturing international relations discipline
(Oxford University Press, 2016-01) Aydınlı, E.; Biltekin, G.
The first part of this article discusses the current state of International Relations (IR) in Turkey, and begins with the argument that the local disciplinary community shows limited scholarly engagement. The article proposes that the growth of such engagement could be encouraged by increased methodological diversity, in particular additional research using quantitative methods. It argues that quantitative research could contribute to engagement by providing conceptual and methodological clarity around which scholarly debates could develop and ultimately contribute to Turkish IR’s progress as a disciplinary community. To substantiate these claims, the article goes on to discuss the development and contributions of quantitative research to global IR, and illustrates the potential benefits of using quantitative methods in the study of Turkish foreign affairs.
