Publication Metadata only Political parties, elections, and pernicious polarization in the rise of illiberalism(Routledge, 2022) McCoy, Jennifer L.; Department of International Relations; Somer, Murat; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsPublication Metadata only Religion and philanthropy in Turkey(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2023) ; Department of International Relations; Çarkoğlu, Ali; Department of International Relations; ; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics;N/APublication Metadata only Root causes of irregular migration in the Eastern Mediterranean: the case of Afghans and Syrians(Springer, 2024) Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Karşıyaka, Birce Altıok; Department of International Relations; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and HumanitiesThis chapter evaluates the initiation and perpetuation of migratory flows from Afghanistan and Syria to Europe, which operate through the Eastern Mediterranean corridor over the decades. It links the notion of root causes of migration to the fragile or weak statehood and protracted refugee situations. While the concepts of “root causes” and “fragile or weak state” may be contested, they hold analytical value as they relate to various aspects of irregular migration systems between the Global North and Global South. Due to the scarcity of research on the relationship between weak statehood, refugee flows, and irregular migration, and their implications on migratory systems between the Global South and Global North, exploring this connection through an analytical framework applied to selected case studies becomes a critical research area. The selected cases, namely migration flows from Afghanistan and Syria to Europe via the Eastern Mediterranean, offer a framework for better understanding the root causes of irregular migratory flows that impact the broader geography of the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe. Therefore, by focusing on weak statehood, this chapter explores the dynamics and mechanisms of root causes of irregular migration and asylum flows. It aims to explain why and how people choose specific routes over time. The ongoing debate on this topic also helps assess policy outcomes for the effective governance of irregular migration and refugee flows.Publication Metadata only Teaching policy design: themes, topics and techniques(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2024) Bali, Azad Singh; Howlett, Michael; Lewis, Jenny M.; Schmidt, Scott; Department of International Relations; Bakır, Caner; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics[No abstract available]Publication Metadata only Energy, environment and geopolitics in Eurasia: search for security in the water-energy-food nexus(Taylor and Francis, 2023) Graham, Norman A.; Department of International Relations; Yılmaz, Şuhnaz Özbağcı; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsThis book advances our understanding of security and its intricate interactions with geopolitics and the environment in Eurasia. Norman A. Graham and Şuhnaz Yılmaz focus on Eurasia, where the energy-water-food nexus has emerged as a vital aspect of political economy and increasinglyas a decisive factor for human security. As clearly revealed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this nexus rests on a precarious balance. Graham and Yilmaz argue that Central Eurasia is currently “Running on Empty” and highlight the key environmental challenges, including water quantity and quality and food security. The authors draw on their extensive fieldwork in countries including Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, Turkey, and Uzbekistan to assess the interests and impact of pivotal actors and evaluate the competition and complementarities of these actors regarding water, energy, food security, and foreign policy imperatives. They also examine the broader interaction and implications of security at multiple levels by analyzing the local, national, and international factors in light of geopolitical and environmental challenges. Taking a novel and highly interdisciplinary approach, this book will be an important resource for students and scholars of energy and food security, political economy, international conflict and cooperation, and natural resource politics. © 2024 Norman A.

The focus of this book lies in the complex and multi-level processes of migrant transnationalism in four transnational spaces: India-UK, Morocco-France and Turkey-Germany and Estonia-Finland. The main question is, how people’s activities across national borders emerge, function, and change, and how are they related to the processes of governance in increasingly complex and interconnected world? The book is based on the findings of a three-year research project TRANS-NET which brough together internationally acknowledged experts from Europe, Asia and Africa. As no single discipline could investigate all the components of the topic in question, the project adopted a multi-disciplinary approach: among the contributors, there are sociologists, policy analysts, political scientists, social and cultural anthropologists, educational scientists, and economists. The chapters show that people’s transnational linkages and migration across national boundaries entail manifold political, economic, social, cultural and educational implications. Although political-social-economic-educational transformations fostered by migrant transnationalism constitute the main topic of the book, the starting assumption is that the large-scale institutional and actor-centred patterns of transformation come about through a constellation of parallel processes.

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 challenges to the monoethnic regime in Germany, 1955-1982(Cambridge Univ Press, 2012) Department of International Relations; Aktürk, Şener; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 110043Publication 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.
