Publication Metadata only Active pursuit of pregnancy: neoliberalism, postfeminism and the politics of reproduction in contemporary Japan(Soc Japanese Stud, 2023) Fassbender, Isabel; Department of Sociology; Demirci, Aiko Takeuchi; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesN/APublication Metadata only Electoral polarization, class politics and a new welfare state in Brazil and Turkey(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020) Comin, Alvaro; Department of Sociology; Yörük, Erdem; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 28982We explain why and how the governing parties, AKP of Turkey and PT of Brazil, converged on the same path of relying on the poor as the main strategy to stay in power. With the neoliberal reorganization and internationalization of their economies, the capacity of these governments to set up developmentalist alliances with big capital, the middle classes and the organized working classes was weakened. Based on a most-different-systems design and on descriptive statistical analysis, we argue that both PT and AKP failed to build multi-class bases and thus had to mobilize the poor by using various strategies, most importantly expanding social assistance policies, which accelerated the emergence of a new welfare state.Publication Metadata only Forced migration and protection: Turkey's domestic responses to the Syrian refugees(Cambridge Univ Press, 2022) White, Holly; Department of Sociology; Çelik, Çetin; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 105104This article investigates how Turkey implements its responsibilities of an international refugee protection regime at policy level, and it focuses specifically on empirical scholarship about the domestic responses to Syrian refugees. While refugee protection draws on the principles of humanitarianism and non-refoulement in general, how it is understood and delivered is complex and situation-specific. In the exponentially growing literature on Syrian refugees in Turkey, the scholarship often takes for granted the policy responses without highlighting their relations with practices. With situational analysis of the secondary documents, this article introduces refugee protection policies and regulations and makes an analysis of domestic responses in different fields concerning Syrian refugees. This critical appraisal finds that Turkey's responses mostly include humanitarian social protection and lack rights-based legal protection. This pushes Syrian refugees into exploitative situations.Publication Metadata only Democratic problem-solving: dialogues in social epistemology(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Department of Sociology; Büyükokutan, Barış; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 126139N/A
