Publication Metadata only [Our] age of anxiety: existentialism and the current state of international relations(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2021) Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356This article is based on the keynote address I delivered in June 2019 at the Central and Eastern European international Studies association (CEEISa) conference in Belgrade. 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.Item Metadata only A Critical juncture: Russia, Ukraine and the Global South(Routledge, 2024) 0000-0002-0129-2944; Kutlay, Mustafa; Department of International Relations; Öniş, Ziya; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 7715Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine constitutes a critical juncture for the trajectory of the liberal-international order. It has undermined the US-led order by widening geopolitical rifts between the West and the Global South, increasing pressure on liberal democracy on a global scale and weakening the neo-liberal economic paradigm that has anchored the economic order since the 1980s. © 2024 The International Institute for Strategic Studies.Publication Metadata only A new doctrine on the block? the European court of human rights and the responsible courts doctrine(Hart Publ, 2016) Çalı, Başak; Faculty Member; Law School; N/AN/APublication 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; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; 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; Department of International Relations; Bakır, Caner; Faculty Member; 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; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; 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 Anxiety and possibility: the many future(s) of COVID-19(Sage, 2023) Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356This is the introduction to the forum, Anxiety and possibility: the many future(s) of COVID-19.

Explanations over the active causal process have often been seen as competitors, yet a Lakatosian framework enables seemingly inconsistent hypotheses to be grafted onto an existing research program, which can be determined to be progressive if they provide increased explanatory power and novel predictions that receive empirical corroboration. By these criteria, the research on capitalist development and the ongoing democratic peace research are not incompatible, provided that further additions to the research program ascertain the progressive criteria. Furthermore, by highlighting the areas that can best explain and predict the democratic peace phenomenon, the Lakatosian analysis offers insights for future progression in the field, As well as the areas upon which research should be focused.Publication Metadata only At the gates of Europe(Royal Institute International Affairs, 2003) N/A; Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Yılmaz, Şuhnaz Özbağcı; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 46805Elation and disappointment are the moods of the moment in Turkey.

Until the mid-1930s domestic political rivalry and Turkish military culture relegated the navy to a secondary role in support of the army for territorial defence. Because of the new republic's international isolation, naval policy was shaped largely in a diplomatic vacuum. Ankara gradually tried to take advantage of emerging great power rivalries in Europe to secure affordably priced naval arms. In the process, politically unsatisfied powers such as Germany and Italy figured prominently as suppliers of naval arms to Turkey. After 1934 changing international political and economic conditions weighed more heavily than domestic factors in setting the parameters of Turkish naval policy. The armaments programme adopted in 1934 provided for naval expansion to counter the Italian threat in the Aegean. This shift of emphasis is in naval policy also reflected Turkey's changing international status from an 'outcast' to a pro-status quo power. However, the coming of the Second World War denied Turkey the chance to build the fleet envisaged under its new naval programme.
