Publication Metadata only Demographic mobility and Turkey: migration experiences and government responses(Duke University Press, 2004) N/A; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 207882Turkey's transformation during the course of the twentieth century into a nation of all kinds of migration is one of the most significant features of its history. Currently migration, both internal and international, is of increasing local and global importance. We can conclude that everything depends on implementing an integrated and consistent policy designed to govern and properly manage migration. The essentials for this management are orderliness, protection, integration, and cooperation. Turkey and other countries need to (1) develop a set of measures to manage migration in an orderly manner, (2) provide an appropriate capability for protection and for dealing with disorderly movements, (3) provide an environment conducive to integration, and (4) engage in dialogue and cooperation with all involved parties and countries. If a management-based pragmatism directs all three main actors of any migration process-sending and receiving (or transit) units or countries, and migrants-there are promising approaches to the dilemma of migration. A comprehensive management strategy, which is holistic and proactive rather than partial and reactive, appears to offer an integrated set of solutions to the complex sets of problems posed by migration movements. Whatever the answer to the dilemmas of migration between countries or within a country, there are consequences and responsibilities for the governments of sending, transiting, and receiving areas or countries, for the migrants and their families, and for the international community and its representative bodies.Publication Metadata only The sources of terrorism(Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Press, 2003) Knight, Charles; Murphy, Melissa; Department of International Relations; Mousseau, Michael; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only France and Algeria: a history of decolonization and transformation(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2002) Department of International Relations; Dillman, Bradford L.; N/A; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/APublication Metadata only Globalization, modernity and democracy: in search of a viable domestic polity for a sustainable Turkish foreign policy(Cambridge Univ Press, 2009) Department of International Relations; Keyman, Emin Fuat; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 45389in recent years. Turkey has initiated a proactive, multi-dimensional and constructive foreign policy in many areas, ranging front contributing to peace and stability in the Middle East, to playing an active role in countering terrorism and extremism, from becoming a new "energy hub" to acting as one of the architects of "the inter-civilization dialogue initiative" aiming at producing a vision of the world, based on dialogue, tolerance and living together. Thus, there has been an upsurge of interest in, and a global attraction to, Turkey and its contemporary history. Moreover, the global attraction to Turkey has stemmed not only from the geopolitical identity of Turkey, As a strong state with the capacity to function as a "geopolitical security hinged' in the intersection of the Middle East, the Balkans and the Caucasian regions, but also from its cultural identity as a modern national formation with parliamentary democratic governance, secular constitutional structure and mainly Muslim population. Furthermore, As the world has become more globalized, more interdependent and more risky, this new foreign policy identity entailed the employment of not only geopolitics but also identity and economy. Thus, geopolitics, modernity and democracy have become the constitutive dimensions of Turkish foreign policy today This paper explores the ways in which the increasing role and visibility of "soft power" in Turkish foreign policy operates, and suggests that to be sustainable, Turkish foreign policy, relying on soft power, should go hand in hand with the process of the consolidation of Turkish democracy, and also accept and put into practice Turkey-EU relations as the main axis of proactiveness and constructiveness.Publication Metadata only The politics of irregular migratory flows in the Mediterranean Basin: Economy, mobility and 'illegality'(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2007) N/A; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 207882Because of the irregular migration flows and use of irregular labour in their economies, most Mediterranean countries of southern Europe face administrative battles over the issue of so-called migration management. The main aim of this article is to elaborate how several countries of the northern Mediterranean Basin have experienced irregular migration flows in the past decade. Particular attention is devoted to the process ill which, when economies are in need of labour, international labour flows might be inevitable even if the related rhetoric and policies towards immigration are unsympathetic. This is debated here over the triad of economy, mobility and 'illegality'.Publication Metadata only Self/other interaction in international relations (IR)(Springer Nature, 2007) Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356As introduced in the previous chapter, in assessing the implications of community-building for regional and global order, the question of how collective identities relate to others is very important. This chapter seeks to address this question at the theoretical level. Despite a growing number of studies (for reviews, see Neumann 1996 and Hall 2001), the IR literature on self/other interaction remains mired in conceptual confusion. This is mainly because, in its conceptualization of self/other interaction, the constructivist literature in IR has drawn on diverse literatures in social theory - symbolic interactionism, poststructuralism, and social identity theory - in an unconsciously eclectic fashion, without recognizing their inherent incompatibilities. The failure to recognize the diverse roots of theorizing in IR theory has created a rather confused intellectual terrain, where the debates on the ontological foundations of self/other relationship have been conflated with the debates on the behavioral implications of the relationship. As a result, the literature forces us into an artificial choice between either disregarding the constitutive role of difference in identity formation or assuming Othering - perception and representation of the other as an identity threat. © 2007, Bahar Rumelili.Publication Metadata only Negotiating Europe: EU-Turkey relations from an identity perspective(Seta Foundation, 2008) Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356This article analyzes the identity dimension EU-Turkey relations from the constructivist perspective in International relation theory. It contends that in EU-Turkey relations, European and Turkish identities are undergoing a continuous process of reconstruction and negotiation. in this process, Turkey's representational practices assume importance in reshaping European identity. in response to the arguments of those who oppose Turkey's EU membership on the identity ground this article claims that a constructivist perspective foresees the possibility that European and Turkish identities can be reconstructed in such a way as to make the Justification of Turkish membership possible and desirable from an identity viewpoint.Publication Metadata only At the gates of Europe(Royal Institute International Affairs, 2003) N/A; Department of International Relations; Yılmaz, Şuhnaz Özbağcı; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 46805Elation and disappointment are the moods of the moment in Turkey.

The authors begin by tracing the main record of the Washington Consensus, the set of neoliberal economic policies propagated largely by key Bretton Woods institutions like the World Bank and the IMF, that penetrated into the economic policy agendas of many developing countries from the late 1970s onwards. They then outline the main tenets of the PWC, emerging from the shortcomings of that record and the reaction it created in the political realm. The authors accept that the PWC, in so far as it influences the actual practice of key Bretton Woods institutions, provides an improvement over the Washington Consensus. Yet, at the same time, they draw attention to the failure of the PWC, as reflected in current policy practice, to provide a sufficiently broad framework for dealing with key and pressing development issues such as income distribution, poverty and self-sustained growth.Publication Metadata only Regionalism, nationalism and realpolitik in Central Asia(Carfax Publ Co, 1997) N/A; Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/A
