Item Open Access Addressing Kurdish separatism in Turkey(Palgrave Macmillan, 1999) Müftüler-Baç, Meltem; Ross, M. H.; Rothman, J.One of the ongoing themes in descriptions of ethnic conflicts and their settlement is that there is a role for a wide range of interveners. The reason for this may be simple: that there is a great deal which needs to occur before hostile groups can find ways to live together in relativepeace. A well-developed theory of ethnic conflict resolution would not only take into account the roles that different actors can play in the process, but would also offer insights into the particular roles each might play at different stages of a conflict.Item Open Access Agricultural policy(Taylor and Francis, 2015) Togan, S.This chapter describes an overview of developments in the Turkish agricultural sector prior to the start of accession negotiations. It deals with on commitments. The chapter discusses the implementation issues. It also discusses the determination of budgetary costs of implementation. In the European Union (EU) the acquis on agriculture covers a large number of binding rules. It is emphasized that proper application of these rules and their effective enforcement by an efficient public administration are essential for the functioning of the common agricultural policy (CAP). The chapter deals with the real value of total of personnel expenditures, current expenditures and investment expenditures at Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MoFAL) would have increased at the same annual growth rate as that of real value added in agriculture, if the Accession Partnership had not been implemented. MoFAL together with the Ministry of Economy are responsible for checks for conformity to marketing standards.Item Open Access Barriers in access to care(Routledge, 2012) Özçürümez, Saime; Wylie, L.; Bigot, G.; Dauth, R.Item Open Access Borders and hybridity in contemporary literature and social theory(Lexington Books, 2010) Nedim, Karakayalı; Baber, Z.; Bryant, J.

A.Item Open Access Citizenship at the crossroads: İmmigration and the nation-state(Pinter Pub, 1996) İçduygu, Ahmet; Kofman, E.; Youngs, G.Item Open Access Civil-military relations(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-09) Heper, Metin; Özerdem, A.; Whiting, M.Until recent decades, the military, on the whole, played a special role both in the Ottoman and Republican polities. In circa 1299, a military force, at the time consisting of warlords, formed the Ottoman principality. Later, in the Empire, as in the Turkish Republic, the centre/state had a more elevated status vis-à-vis the community/civil society and, until recently, the military remained the backbone of that state. By the end of the nineteenth century, the military, along with the civil bureaucracy, became first the object and then the subject of modernisation. A large number of Westernising leaders came from the military ranks. In 1909, they helped depose Sultan Abdülhamid II (1876–1909) to bring about a more consultative regime and do away with the Sultan’s personal rule. During the next decade, the military involved itself in the day-to-day politics of the empire. The Ottoman staff officer, Adjutant-Major Atatürk1 disapprovingly depicted those later years as follows: ‘As long as members of the military remain in the [governing] Committee [of Union of Progress], neither shall we [be able to] set up an [effective political] party nor shall we [be able to] have a [subservient] military’ (Turfan 2000, 15).Item Open Access Civil-military relations, political islam, and security: the turkish case(Praeger, 2004) Heper, Metin; Güney, Aylin; Danopoulos, C. P.Item Open Access A comparative study of socio-cultural change in two Turkish Villages: Saray and Gicik(Croatian Anthropological Society, Zagreb, 1994) Erdentuğ, Aygen; Aleksandar, L.; Rudan, P.Item Open Access Conclusion(Lexington Books, 2002) Heper, Metin; Heper, Metin; Sayari, S.Item Open Access Item Open Access Conclusion(Routledge, 2002) Colombijn, F.; Erdentuğ, Aygen; Colombijn, F.; Erdentuğ, AygenItem Open Access Conclusion: Crossing borders of states and border-crossing of rights(Palgrave Macmillan, New York, 2008) Özçürümez, Saime; Schmidtke, O.; Özçürümez, SaimeOnce the most intriguing scholarly question in the field of political science was: what is the state? The usual answer would begin by referring to territory, borders, sovereignty, and a nation. In time the inquiry became more complex, leading to questions along the lines of: What challenges the state? How does it do so, and why? One of the responses to these questions relates to the consequences of the increasing mobility of people crossing the borders of states—both literally and metaphorically. These consequences include but are not limited to people’s access to rights and status as border-crossing noncitizens. The central normative and empirical query of this volume is in this contested domain. On the one hand, the contemporary Western nation-state preserves legally its sovereign right to determine who has the right to cross its borders as well as to exercise the political, social, and economic rights within its borders. On the other hand, rising levels of migration and increasing numbers and diversity of noncitizens within the borders of the nation-state challenge the extent to which the state may strike a balance between providing liberal, universally applicable rights and preserving its inherently distinctive identity and sovereignty.Item Open Access The consolidation of democracy versus democratization in Turkey(Frank Cass Publishers, 2002) Heper, Metin; Rubin, B.; Heper, MetinDemocratization is attaining greater political participation. The consolidation of democracy is democracy becoming "the only game in town." The preceding contributions indicate that in recent years Turkey has made good progress in preparing the ground for consolidating its democracy. On the other hand, the country's success in democratizing its political regime has been less than adequate. It may sound paradoxical, but at least in the case of some political parties inadequate democratisation seems to have been functional for the progress Turkey has registered towards the consolidation of its democracy The first prerequisite for the consolidation of democracy is a consensus among the members of the political class on the rules of democracyfreedom of expression, absence of restrictions on political participation, free and fair elections, and the like. Second, there must be national unity; political actors must act in unison when democracy faces a critical threat. For them to act in such a manner there would be need for trust and harmony among political actors.Item Open Access Courts in semi-democratic/authoritarian regimes: the judicialization of Turkish (and Iranian) politics(Cambridge University Press, 2008) Shambayati, H.Turkey is not a typical authoritarian or democratic regime. For much of the past six decades Turkey has held regular multiparty and reasonably free and fair elections. Power has changed hands numerous times, and governments have come to office and left as a result of elections. Furthermore, even though the Turkish military has intervened in the political process on a number of occasions, unlike in most other developing countries, the periods of direct military rule have been relatively short (1960-1962 and 1980-1983). Finally, for much of the past half-century, Turkey has had lively social and political societies that have acted with relative freedom, although major shortcomings continue to plague both. There is much to suggest that Turkey should be classified as a democracy. At the same time, however, it is widely recognized that the Turkish political system displays authoritarian tendencies and that the military continues to play an important role in Turkish politics. The Turkish military has formally intervened in politics on four occasions (1960, 1971, 1980, and 1997). In 1960 and 1980, the military officially assumed the reins of power, while in the other two instances it limited itself to issuing a series of ultimatums that eventually brought down the governments of the day without formally interrupting the democratic experience. © Cambridge University Press 2008.Item Open Access Cultural globalization in Turkey: Actors, discourses, strategies(Oxford University Press, 2002) Özbudun, Ferhat; Keyman, Fuat; Berger, P. L.; Huntington, S. P.Item Open Access A cyber-psychological and behavioral approach to online radicalization(IGI Global, 2018) Topal, Reyhan; McAlaney, J.; Frumkin, L.A.; Benson, V.This chapter attempts to synthesize the mainstream theories of radicalization and the cyber-psychological and behavioral approaches with a view to identifying individuals' radicalization online. Based on the intersections of those two fields, this chapter first elaborates how radical groups use cyberspace with a specific concentration on the so-called cyber caliphate claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). Second, it revisits mainstream theories of radicalization and specifies the psychological and behavioral facets of the radicalization processes proposed by those theories. Following that, it integrates theories of radicalization with cyber-psychological and behavioral explanations of online radicalization to reveal how ISIS's use of cyberspace attracts individuals and facilitates online radicalization.Item Open Access A cyber-psychological and behavioral approach to online radicalization(IGI Global, 2018) Topal, ReyhanThis chapter attempts to synthesize the mainstream theories of radicalization and the cyber-psychological and behavioral approaches with a view to identifying individuals’ radicalization online.
