Such correlations can be driven by countercyclical debt flows and procyclical equity flows or debt flows leading to an appreciation and hurting exports and equity flows improving productivity of real economy broadly defined. To separate out the stories, we focus on business cycle frequencies and the effect of global risk appetite (VIX) in driving capital flows into emerging markets. A positive initial impact of debt flows on output is followed by a negative impact afterwards. Equity flows has a positive impact on output initially and thereafter. FDI inflows have a positive affect on output only with a two year lag and if this period coincides with increased global uncertainty, the effect on output reverses but total effect stays positive. This result holds also for equity flows, suggesting that during increased periods of uncertainty private investors leave emerging markets. Quantitative impacts are not big except the case of FDI flows.Publication Metadata only Causes and consequences of unbalanced relations in the international politics of the Middle East, 1946-2010(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2015) Maoz, Zeev; Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Akça, Belgin San; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 107754N/APublication Metadata only Cold war context formation of the Turkish-American alliance(Routledge, 2015) N/A; Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Yılmaz, Şuhnaz Özbağcı; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 46805N/APublication Metadata only Coming to terms with the capitalist peace(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) N/A; Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Mousseau, Michael; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only COVID-19: uncertainty in a mood of anxiety(Sage, 2023) Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Rumelili, Bahar; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 51356This contribution to the Forum, Anxiety and possibility: the many future(s) of COVID-19, develops a conception of uncertainty as constituted by cognitive (awareness of possibilities) and affective (mood in which possibility is encountered) dimensions. Based on this conception, it is suggested that the COVID-19 crisis has led to a qualitative leap in our already growing sense of uncertainty, both accentuating our awareness of possibilities that are unforeseen, and rendering us attuned to the world in anxiety rather than fear.Publication Open Access Debating the dual citizenship- integration nexus in Turkey(International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) / Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Şenol Sert, Deniz; N/A; Korfalı, Deniz Karcı; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and HumanitiesThis article explores the institution of dual citizenship outside of the West and focuses on Turkey to assess the possible relationship between dual citizenship and the integration of migrants, drawing on Kymlicka and Norman's (2000) dimensions of citizenship framework, with its tripartite focus on formal status, activity and identity. The research incorporates the perspectives of the three key groups of actors involved in international migration: the host state, the major sending states, and the migrants themselves. Our findings indicate that dual citizenship is neither a barrier to, nor facilitator of, integration in the citizenship dimension of activity in Turkey. Rather, integration - perceived as economic participation by the great majority of the actors - is linked not to dual citizenship per se, but to the acquisition of citizenship in the host country.Publication Metadata only Electoral support and militants' targeting strategies(Sage, 2022) Aksoy, Deniz; Department of International Relations; Department of International Relations; Carlson, David George; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AMilitant groups that are in armed conflict with a government often coexist with political parties that have ethnic or ideological connections to them. In this article, we explore the extent to which electoral support received by militant associated opposition parties and nationally incumbent political parties influences subnational variation in militant attacks. We argue, and empirically demonstrate, that militants strategically target localities where the levels of electoral support for the opposition party and the nationally incumbent party are close in an effort to negatively influence the electoral performance of the incumbent party. To illustrate this dynamic we examine subnational data from 1995 to 2015 Turkish legislative elections and attacks organized by the Kurdish militants within the same time period. We also examine the impact of June 2015 legislative elections on militant attacks until the snap elections in November 2015. Our empirical examination shows that militants target localities where electoral support for the governing party and Kurdish opposition party is close. Moreover, increase in violence negatively influences the electoral performance of the governing party. However, it does not consistently have a significant influence on the opposition. The findings illustrate that militants strategically choose the location of their attacks based on electoral dynamics, and attacks can pose an electoral challenge to the governing party.Publication Open Access Failures of the discourse of ethnicity: Turkey, Kurds, and the emerging Iraq(Sage, 2005) Department of Chemistry; Department of Chemistry; Somer, Murat; Faculty Member; College of Sciences; 110135This article analyzes the discursive-ideational barriers restricting regional cooperation by examining Turkey's relations with Iraqi Kurds from a critical, theoretical perspective in the context of Turkey's domestic reforms and its relations with the USA and the EU. It is argued that the ethnicity discourse undermines cooperation, insofar as it feeds the perception of rival groups with zero-sum interests. Presenting a simple model, the article argues that replacing the ethnicity discourse with alternative, post-ethnic discourses requires combining alternative discourses with policies that produce positive-sum interests, coordination between groups, and opportunities for joint collective actions. Hence, state capacity to formulate and implement such policies is crucial. Predictions and policy implications are generated accordingly. First, further reconciliation of Turkey's domestic Kurdish conflict through democratic and administrative reforms, EU integration, and the promotion of national-identity models that are more flexible and more reflective of diversity will facilitate cooperation with Iraqi Kurds. Second, prosperity and democratic stability in Iraq will help achieve a lasting resolution in Turkey. Third, regional cooperation requires that domestic and external actors promote the positive-sum perception of Turkish and Kurdish interests. Fourth, research can help by developing linguistic-analytical categories that transcend the narrow discourse of ethnicity in favor of discourses that reflect multiple and compatible group belongings.
