Publication Metadata only A debate over return migration: the case of Turkish guest workers in Germany(Springer, 2016) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; İçduygu, Ahmet; Sert, Deniz; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; 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; 25879This chapter aims to provide an overview of the return migration of Turkish guest workers and their family members. While doing so, it also elaborates on the theoretical and conceptual discussions of the notion of return migration, and it discusses the empirical question of how return migration has evolved over time in the case of the guest-worker scheme between Turkey and Germany. There are several reasons that make it worthwhile to elaborate the case of Turkish guest workers in Europe in general (and in Germany in particular) in the context of the whole notion of return migration. First, it is a migratory system that has evolved from temporary migration to permanent settlement over the last five decades. Second, while this transformation has taken place, some migrants have returned home, but others have stayed abroad. Third, as this covers a period since the early 1960s, different generations are involved, including first-generation labor migrants as well as their Europe-born children, and even grandchildren. Finally, as this migration from Turkey includes various types of movements such as labor migration, family reunion, asylum seeking, and clandestine flows, return migration to Turkey also consequently consists of various types of returnees.Publication Metadata only A study of Ottoman narratives on architecture: text, context and hermeneutics(Seta Foundation, 2011) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Assertive secularism in crisis: modernity, democracy, and islam in Turkey(Palgrave, 2010) Department of International Relations; Keyman, Emin Fuat; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; The Center for Research on Globalization, Peace, and Democratic Governance (GLODEM) / Küreselleşme, Barış ve Demokratik Yönetişim Araştırma Merkezi (GLODEM); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 45389Publication Open Access Book review: Loyalists: war and peace in Northern Ireland by Peter Taylor(The University of Chicago Press, 2000) Department of International Relations; Mousseau, Demet Yalçın; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsPublication Metadata only Capitalism, alone: the future of the system that rules the world(Sage Publications Inc, 2022) N/A; Selamet, Kadir; Master Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Crises and regional governance attempts: the curious case of Turkey in critical perspective(Palgrave, 2014) Department of Economics; Dönmez, Pınar E.; Undergraduate Student; Department of Economics; College of Administrative Sciences and EconomicsN/APublication Metadata only Differentiated function of school in socio-culturally disadvantaged context: a constructivist grounded theory study from Turkey(Springer, 2017) Şimşek, Hasan; Kondakcı, Yaşar; Çalışkan, Zuhal Zeybekoğlu; Other; N/AThis study analyses the functioning of a school as a social system in an atypical context with the purpose of generating propositions to tackle educational problems confronted by socially and economically disadvantaged groups attending these schools. Adopting the constructivist grounded theory, the analysis suggests that there is a kind of “vicious cycle” in the functioning of this atypical school, which adversely affects the school system. Breaking the vicious cycle involves five basic propositions: (1) making school a better place than students’ homes, (2) overcoming the enduring difficulties of working in an atypical school, (3) multiplying learning opportunities, (4) prompting parents to assume more responsibility, (5) locating leadership that makes a difference. These propositions clarify the significance of informal subsystems, school community and the wider environment along with their enabling and blocking effects on a disadvantaged school system. Parallel to other studies on disadvantaged schools, the study highlights the need to refine the orthodox view of the concept of formal education and school, as well as the role of school principal, teachers and parents affiliated with atypical schools.Publication Metadata only Diffuse interest groups and regulatory policy change: financial consumer protection in Turkey(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) N/A; Çoban, Mehmet Kerem; Researcher; The Center for Research on Globalization, Peace, and Democratic Governance (GLODEM) / Küreselleşme, Barış ve Demokratik Yönetişim Araştırma Merkezi (GLODEM); N/A; 346796This article examines why and how a regulation on retail banking fees, commissions, and charges emerged in Turkey after a long period of regulatory forbearance. The article shows that when regulatory forbearance caused stasis, and the "stAtışt", exclusionary policymaking context limited consumer groups' access to the policymaking process, consumer groups challenged the policy regime of the banking sector and the regulator by appealing to another state actor, the Ministry of Customs and Trade. The Ministry took advantage of an opportunity structure to pass a new consumer protection law which assigned a de facto mandate on the regulatory agency to regulate fees, commissions, and charges. The article argues that the regulatory policy change was a product of a policy regime change with the Ministry emerging as a veto player, as it redefined the institutional arrangements in the policymaking process, and imposed its preferences and its stricter policy approach. As such, the article contributes to our understanding of the conditions of how diffuse interest groups can trigger regulatory policy change, but more importantly policy regime change.Publication Metadata only Disenfranchised: the rise and fall of industrial citizenship in China(Sage Publications Inc, 2022) N/A; Elmas, Furkan; Master Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Enacting European citizenship beyond the EU: Turkish citizens and their European political practices(Cambridge Univ Press, 2013) Keyman, Fuat; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356N/A
