(Im)moral borders in practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2021) El Qadim, Nora; Isleyen, Beste; de Vries, Leonie Ansems; Hansen, Signe Sofie; Lisle, Debbie; Simonneau, Damien; N/A; Karadağ, Sibel; Researcher; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); N/A; N/A
This Forum aims to push existing debates in critical border and migration studies over the featuring of morals, ethics and rights in everyday practices relating to the governance of the mobility of non-citizen populations. Its contributors steer away from the actual evaluation or advocacy of the good/just/ethical, focusing instead on the sociological examination of morals and ethics in practice, i.e. how actors understand morally and ethically the border and migration policies they implement or resist. A proliferating interest in the discursive and non-discursive materialisation of moral and ethical elements in asylum and migration policies has examined the intertwinement of care and control logics underlying the management of refugee camps, borders and borderzones, and hotspots alongside the deployment of search-and-rescue operations. Nevertheless, recent research has shown the need to unpack narratives and actions displaying values and symbols that are not necessarily encompassed within this intertwinement of compassion and repression. We argue that there is a need to pay more attention to the diversity, plurality and the operation of morality, ethics and rights in settings and geographies, and of including a diversity of actors both across and beyond EUrope.

Academic neo-colonialism in writing practices: geographic markers in three journals from Japan, Turkey and the US
(Elsevier, 2019) Department of Sociology; N/A; Ergin, Murat; Alkan, Aybike; Faculty Member; PHD Student; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 106427; N/A
A global academic division of labor plagues contemporary academic production. The epistemological implications assign southern knowledge to the status of "data" for the use of northern "theory." The institutional consequences affect the training and promotion of scholars, and the distribution of academic resources. The persistence of global power relations in academic production is an indicator of the achievement of the West in establishing a Eurocentric relationship with the rest of the world. This paper looks at the manifestations of the contemporary academic division of labor in scholarly writing. We examine articles published in three international academic journals, based in Japan, Turkey, and the United States, and focus on the different ways in which authors use geographic markers, words that indicate that a title, an abstract, or a sentence is written in reference to a particular location a country, a city, or another geographic entity. Scholarship in the North relies on a writing style that reflects and reproduces its privileged position in the global academic division of labor. However, southern scholars tend to write in a style that makes heavy use of geographic markers, which reflects their underprivileged position in global academic world as "case" or "data" producers for northern theory.

Providing Istanbul with drinking water: the politics of water security in a rapidly growing metropolis
(Springer, 1999) N/A; N/A; Turan, İlknur; Faculty Member; N/A; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; N/A; N/A
Istanbul has persistently experienced rapid population growth in recent years. Procurement of sufficient quantities of high quality water to the city has become a major concern for the national and local authorities. Initially, the central government was the major actor in dealing with water problems, but more recently the role of the local government has been claiming increasing significance. Interagency rivalries flourish, but the urgency of the need has served to depoliticize the problem and bring its engineering and managerial aspects to the fore. Istanbul's experience suggests that strong local institutional capabilities are important in meeting urban needs. Meeting water demand can be ameliorated by adopting policies that are cognizant of existing socioeconomic trends.
