Afghan migration through Turkey to Europe: seeking refuge, forming diaspora, and becoming citizens
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; İçduygu, Ahmet; Karadağ, Sibel; Faculty Member; Researcher; Department of International Relations; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; 207882; N/A
This paper aims to investigate the Afghan-Turkish-European region migration system in light of migration system theory, which provides a comprehensive framework by asking the question of how a set of linkages including some macro-, meso- and micro-level variables relate to the larger context of migratory settings. Relating the roles of various structures, institutions and networks to the operation of the social, political and economic relationships, it seeks to analyze the dynamics of Afghan migration heading to Turkey and Europe in a historically contextualized way. The paper argues that one must focus on the root causes of flows, which are related to the presence of fragility of the Afghan state together with the continuation of flows via networks enabling the maintenance of migrants' links to home, transit and destination countries.

Authority, modernity and gender-relevant legislation in Iran
(Routledge, 2011) N/A; N/A; Halper, Louise; Other; Law School; N/A
A widely accepted view, both in scholarly and more general writing, is that Muslim women benefit from a regime of secular law and suffer under religious law. Thus, we are accustomed to conflating the situation of women in countries as diverse as Iran and Afghanistan and thinking that the status of women in both is dreadful. In fact, however, indicators of women’s advancement in Iran1 are quite comparable to those of women in Turkey, which has had a secular tradition since 1924. In contrast, the situation of women in Afghanistan continues to be abysmal. At a glance, then, it appears that the presence or absence of shari’a as the law of the state is, at the least, non-determinative, whatever influence it may have. It is in fact my hypothesis that the situation of women is impacted less by the nature of the legal regime than by their political status; that is to say, the salience of women to the political process and their active involvement in it. Iran is my key example of this hypothesis, and modifications in the law of marriage and divorce there since the Islamic Revolution of 1978 to 1979 constitute my data. Let me first set out some actual data. With respect to literacy, illiterates as a percentage of Iranian women aged 15 to 24 declined from over one-third in 1980 to under 10 percent in 2000.2 Over the same period, the illiteracy rate for the entire population of adult women was cut in half, from about 60 percent to about 30 percent.3 As for education, the number of women in secondary school as a percentage of the eligible age group more than doubled from about 30 percent to almost 80 percent.4 As of 1999, for every 100 boys in primary school, 96 girls were enrolled, indicating that boys and girls were almost equally likely to be learning basic literacy and numeracy skills.5 In 2000, one-half of all Iranian university students were women,6 as were 60 percent of entering students,7 who were selected on the basis of a difficult nationwide exam. Twenty-seven percent of working-age women were in the labor force as of 2000, up from 20 percent in 1980.8 In terms of health, life expectancy went up by 11 years between 1980 and 2000 for both Iranian men and women.9 With respect to family planning, “levels of childbearing have declined faster than in any other country,” falling from an average of 5.6 births per woman in 1985 to only 2.0 births in 2000,10 a drop accomplished by a voluntary, but government-sponsored, birth control program.11

Comparing public attitudes on EU membership in candidate countries: the cases of Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey from 2004 to 2011
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Department of International Relations; N/A; Çarkoğlu, Ali; Glüpker-Kesebir, Gitta; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 125588; N/A
Past enlargements of the European Union (EU) have demonstrated that public attitudes on European integration can influence the course of accession processes. Beyond the literature on public EU support in member states and former candidates, the dynamics that shape public attitudes on EU membership within recent candidate countries have not been systematically examined. Analysing nine Eurobarometer (EB) surveys from 2004 to 2011, we argue that evaluations of EU membership in Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey are shaped by utilitarian considerations, belief in various political institutions as well as the fear of losing national identity. The economic crisis of 2008 has changed public opinion towards EU membership in all three countries, but Turkey appears to have been affected the most compared to Croatia and Macedonia.

Emerging partnership in a post-western world? the political economy of China-Turkey relations
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; Öniş, Ziya; Yalikun, Maimaiti; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 7715; N/A
The present paper aims to explain the newly found momentum in the China-Turkey relationship over the course of the past decade. Attention is given to two interlocking processes involving global dynamics and domestic politics in Turkey in a rapidly shifting international context. At the global level, significant power shifts away from the West and the growing global reach and assertiveness of China during the Xi Jinping era have played an important role. At the domestic level, profound power shifts and attempts to consolidate a new and yet fragile political-economic model associated with a highly centralized and authoritarian presidential system have emerged as crucial factors. Our central point is that the China-Turkey partnership embodies an important political dimension that goes beyond a narrow economic partnership. Given the inherently political nature of the relationship, the future path of the China-Turkey partnership will depend crucially on Turkey's domestic political trajectory over the next decade.

Intellectual and industrial property rights in the European community and recent developments
(ankara Univ European Union Research Centre, 2007) N/A; Arıkan, Ayşe Saadet; Faculty Member; Law School; N/A
The Policy behind the protection of intellectual and industrial property (IP) rights is to provide a balance between the competing interest of creator, investor and society. This balance has been achieved by the attribution of exclusivity, As a reward to the creators, and introducing exceptions to exclusivity in, favour of society, but in the meantime obliging society to respect those exclusive rights though limited by time. Governments always consider the protection of IP rights as an important tool for their technological and cultural developments within the framework of abovementioned policy approach, and gram protection within the limit of their national territory. Because of this territoriality approach, different national rides relating to the scope, duration and exclusivity of such rights do exist, and this very existance have become the most striking feature of IP laws. there is no doubt that such a different existance would be detrimental to the free movement of products covered by those rights, by being capable of creating obstacles within the European Community (EC) in the absence of unification of national IP rules. This article is an humble trial to answer the question of how the EC, through its Treaty provisions and case law reconciled the exclusivity and territoriality principles of IP law, with the vital principles, for instance, of free movement of goods and of competition law./ Öz: Fikri ve smai mülkiyet haklarının (FSH) korunmasının arkasında yatan neden, yaratıcının, yatırımcının ve tophumın yaman çıkarları arasında bir denge sağlamaktır. Bu denge; yaratıcılara ödül olarak inhisari yetkiler tanıyarak, toplum lehine bu yetkilere istisnalar getirilerek ve aynı zamanda topluma, süreleri suurlannuş da olsa, bu inhisari vetkilere saygı gösterme yükümlülüğü getirilmek suretiyle sağlanmaktadır. Devletler yukarda sözü edilen yaklaşım çerçevesinde FSHnın korunmasını herzaman teknolojik ve kültürel gelişmelerinin bir aracı olarak görmüşler ve korumayı ülkeye' sınırları içerisinde bahşetmişlerdir. Bu iilkesellik yaklaşımı nedeniyle bu hakların kapsamı,vüresi, inhisarîliği bakımından firklı ulusal kurallar var olmuş ve bu husus ,FSHnın en çarpıcı özelliği olmuştur. FSH konusunda ulusal kuralların yeknesaklaştırılmadığı bir Avrupa Topluluğunda (AT) farklılıkların mevcudiyeti bu haklara konu olan malların serbest dolaşımı açısından, hiç kuşkusuz büyük bir tehlike oluşturacak niteliktedir. Bu makale Arnin, malların serbest dolaşımı, rekabet hukuku ilkeleri gibi hayati kuralları ile FSHnın ülkerellik, inhisarilik ilkelerinin gerek Ktıructc Anlaşma hükümleri, gerek Divan kararları aracılığı ile nasıl bağdaşır hale getirildiği sorusuna bir cevap niteliğini taşımaktadır.

Kins, distant workers, diasporas: constructing Turkey's transnational members abroad
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) N/A; N/A; Aksel, Damla Bayraktar; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 315549
This paper analyzes the politics of the Turkish state about Turks abroad as a process of defining the status of and constructing the perceptions about its transnational members. Falling back on transnationalism and diaspora studies, it aims to bring together the policies of the Turkish state regarding emigrants and co-ethnics who have been stranded during the collapse of the empire from which the modern state emerged. From the point of view of the sending state/external homeland, it compares the different trajectories and policies which have been put in place during different periods, and traces the parallel actions which have been taken over the last two decades regarding both constellations. The paper also investigates the way in which the extra-territorial membership is constructed and definedby putting emphasis on its fluidity over time as a result of endogenous and exogenous factors.
