Publication Metadata only ‘Culture’ in EU–Turkey relations(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Department of International Relations; N/A; Rumelili, Bahar; İşler, Didem Çakmaklı; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51356; 260783Contemporary socio-political and economic situations in the countries of SEE greatly influence their mutual relationships which are already bearing heavy loads from the past as well as distinct visions of the future. Politicians are forced to change their own priorities, sometimes even decisions, to fit the daily demands of their coalition partners or the expectations of public opinion which are often influenced by populist officials and media. The government and majority representatives condemning crimes committed in Srebrenica approved the decision of the European Parliament. Yugoslav cultural diplomacy was tuned equally toward West and East and also toward countries of the third world. All Balkan countries are open to global cultural flows but, paradoxically, their institutional systems are still closed towards the products of mass culture of neighbouring countries, particularly in the case of ethno-pop or folk music. International dimensions of national cultural policies of the Balkans primarily focus on transferring knowledge, improving the national image and increasing national influence.Publication Metadata only ‘Culture’ in EU–Turkey relations(Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2011) Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; İşler, Didem Çakmaklı; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51356; 260783Contemporary socio-political and economic situations in the countries of SEE greatly influence their mutual relationships which are already bearing heavy loads from the past as well as distinct visions of the future.

Drawing on existentialist thought, I first discuss the distinction between anxiety and fear and the relevance of this distinction for International relation (IR) theory. then, building on the Heideggerian notion of mood and its recent applications to IR by Erik Ringmar (2017, 2018), I argue that anxiety impacts International relation as a public mood-'a collective way of being attuned to the world'. Connecting existentialist thought on anxiety with contemporary IR and Political science research on securitisation and populism, I discuss how, in periods and contexts where we are collectively attuned to the world in anxiety, the resonance of securitisation and the appeal of nativist and populist doctrines that offer ideological and moral certainty are enhanced.Publication Metadata only A new paradigm on the identity-security nexus in international relations: ontological security theory(Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2020) Adısönmez, Umut Can; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356Recently, Ontological Security Theory (OST) has found itself a significant place in the International Relations (IR) literature. The theory has provided scholars with a novel analytical framework to explain state behavior and to understand the socio-psychological dynamics underlying the production of a state's self-image and self-narratives. Particularly, the OST has unsettled disciplinary assumptions regarding the primacy of physical security, and offered a framework to analyze the dialectical relationship between state and society in the making, (re)making and protecting of the state's subjective sense of self. The primary aim of this article is to introduce the main arguments and research areas to Turkey's IR community. Additionally, the drawbacks that emanate from the OST's insufficient engagement with critical approaches to security and the extant literature on identity in IR are assessed. / Geçtiğimiz yıllarda Ontolojik Güvenlik Teorisi (Ontological Security Theory – OGT) Uluslararası İlişkiler (Uİ) disiplininde kendine önemli bir yer edindi. Teori, devlet davranışlarını devletin öz-anlatıları üzerinden anlamlandırırken, bu öz-anlatıların yeniden üretilmesinin altında yatan sosyo-psikolojik dinamikleri de ortaya koydu. Özellikle, fiziksel güvenliğin öncüllüğünü tartışmaya açarak ve öz-anlatılar yoluyla devlet kimliğinin oluşması ve korunması süreçlerinde devlet-toplum arasındaki diyalektik ilişkiyi ortaya koyarak önemli katkıları oldu. Bu makalenin birincil amacı OGT’nin ana argümanlarını ve araştırma konularını Türkiye Uİ camiasına tanıtmaktır. Aynı zamanda OGT’nin mevcut eleştirel güvenlik kavramları ve kimlik yazını ile bağlantısının yetersizliğinden kaynaklanan eksiklikleri değerlendirilmektedir.Publication Metadata only A southern multinational and an emerging European state in an entry bargaining process(Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) Department of International Relations; Bakır, Caner; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 108141Publication Metadata only After Gallipoli: empire, nation and diversity in multicultural Turkey and Australia(Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) Jakubowicz, Andrew; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 207882Gallipoli has played a critical role in the formation of national identity, and remains a significant part of contemporary identities for both Turkey and Australia.1 This chapter explores the ways in which the development of a racialised or ethno-culturally bound modernity in Australia and Turkey has followed a similar path, notwithstanding the very great differences in the histories of the countries, their political geographies, and their contemporary challenges. However real and important such differences may be, the struggle to create a state that can encompass diversity while claiming singularity offers a shared contradiction. As Bacek Ince has observed in her study of Turkey’s struggle with citizenship and identity, the formation of a fully republican citizenship requires the assertion of ‘constitutional patriotism’, where membership of the nation and full participation can accommodate cultural and linguistic pluralism.2 The challenges for Australia are not dissimilar.Publication Metadata only Alevis in Turkey(Taylor and Francis, 2018) Department of International Relations; N/A; Çarkoğlu, Ali; Elçi, Ezgi; 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; 125588; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Alevis in Turkish politics(Brill, 2012) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; Department of International Relations; Çarkoğlu, Ali; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 125588N/APublication Metadata only Anxiety and possibility: the many future(s) of COVID-19(Sage, 2023) Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356This is the introduction to the forum, Anxiety and possibility: the many future(s) of COVID-19.

At the beginning of a new millennium, Turkey finds itself at a critical juncture in its democratic evolution. This momentous event has been precipitated by its desire to enter into the European Union and the recent financial crisis it has faced, both of which have fuelled the need for the creation of a strong, democratic Turkey. Consisting of a collection of innovative and influential essays by leading scholars, this book gives the reader an historical and sociological understanding of Turkey and adds a new dimension to the ongoing discussion surrounding global citizenship and global identity.
