(Routledge, 2024-05-13) Aydın, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Kerem
This paper introduces a special issue focusing on the intricacies of Turkey’s party system and the evolution of Turkish party competition amid democratic challenges. The introduction provides a brief overview of each paper in this special issue, which delves into the relationship between economic factors and voter behavior, offering insights into the continued dominance of the ruling party. While doing so, the special issue specifically examines the 2023 Turkish General elections, presenting alternative perspectives on how the incumbent party maintains its electoral success.

Editorial: the world of medieval islands
(Routledge, 2019) Zavagno, Luca; Darley, R.; Jarrett, J.
The articles accompanying this one study a range of medieval island situations, varying in size, location, internal complexity, economic potential and political loyalties. The geographical range is similarly broad, encompassing the length of the Mediterranean Sea and stretching onwards into the Indian Ocean. This article therefore extracts comparisons from the articles its authors have here edited. Against a broader historiographical and theoretical background, it aims to isolate the common characteristics of what is here termed “islandness” and the key gradients along which those characteristics vary. These are identified as size and internal complexity, location within wider spaces, relationship to a frontier, and social position between connectivity and isolation. While most islands fit in this matrix, the category remains fuzzy; not all geographical islands were always “island-like” and some areas not surrounded by water were. The article thus sets up models of thinking about islands for comparison with other areas and periods.

Introduction
(Routledge, 2010) Aydınlı, Ersel; Aydınlı, Ersel
This book presents a selection of edited essays written by leading international scholars engaging with practicing intelligence, military, and police officers and responding to their first-hand international security cooperation experiences. The resulting chapters provide original theoretical perspectives on evolving international security cooperation practices. Beginning with the premise that intelligence cooperation-domestically between agencies, internationally between states, and transnationally among states, sub-state and non-state actors-is essential in order to successfully counter the evolving transnational nature of security threats, the authors explore the transnationalization in states' responses to a transnational security threat like 'global' terror. They assess whether early signs of a "statist transnationalism" for a new global security cooperation regime can be identified, and look at the use of extraordinary rendition and police liaisons as means for the development and growth of transnational security cooperation.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, terrorism, security, policing and intelligence.

Introduction
(State University of New York Press, 2005) Rosenau, J. N.; Aydınlı, Ersel; Rosenau, J. N.; Aydınlı, Ersel
This volume studies the links among the concepts of globalization, security, and the authority of the nation state, drawing attention to why and how these three concepts are interrelated and why they should be studied together. Contributors explore the connections between security and global transformations, and the corresponding or resulting changes in state structures that emerge. Probing and extending existing paradigms, the book offers three regional cases studies: the periphery states of the Middle East and North Africa, the second world states of the Russian Federation, and the core states of the European Union. It concludes with three chapters that synthesize the above themes to identify corresponding changes in the patterns of international politics.

Introduction
(Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2015) Gürkaynak, Refet S.; Stiglitz, J. E.; Gürkaynak, Refet S.
Currency flows have always been a leading policy concern, especially in emerging markets. The long Japanese slump, the ensuing very low interest rates in Japan that have lasted 20 years, and the carry trades this fostered made currency flows a hot topic again, even before the global financial crisis increased liquidity in all developed economies and led to a new wave of currency flows to emerging market economies.

Introduction to the forum on Karin Fierke snapshots from home mind action and strategy in an uncertain world Bristol University Press 2022
(SAGE Publications, 2023-11-20) Bilgin, Pınar
Karin Fierke situates Snapshots from Home at the intersection of two bodies of scholarship: one directed toward globalizing the study of world politics and the other drawing from quantum theory's insights to study the social world. The first body of scholarship has a long history. That it did not make a mark on the study of world politics until the mid-2010s has to do with the narrow notion of "science" that dominated the study of world politics, also known as disciplinary International Relations (IR). By way of showing the obsolescence of the narrow notion of "science" that IR has modeled itself on, the body of efforts that draw from quantum theory's insights has the potential to make more room for the first one. Fierke's book, by way of exploring the parallels between quantum physics and Asian philosophies, allows us to identify this potential. The contributors to this special forum each elaborate on different aspects of this potential.

Introduction to Turkey’s electoral geography: An overview since 1950
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-03-12) Bekaroğlu, Edip Asaf; Kaya Osmanbaşoğlu, Gülsen
Turkish politics have been characterized by “three maladies” since the 1970s: fragmentation, volatility, and polarization. Geography, in any case, is not a frozen and well-defined territory in political means. The electoral geography literature is, to a large extent, dominated by empirical research and mostly focused on North American and west European cases. The literature suffers from a scarcity of studies dealing with non-western politics that may bring new insight into geographical dimensions of electoral behavior. In terms of the electoral geography in Turkish politics, comprehensive studies are still extremely scarce in the literature, apart from a few works that concentrate on electoral choices in particular regions or districts. From the beginning of multiparty politics in 1950 to the 1980 military coup, center-right and center-left political parties were dominant players, with no distinct variation in their regional performances.
