    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.

    The rising waters of the Caspian Sea and possibilities for international cooperation
    (Springer, 1997) N/A; Turan, İlknur; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    If the waters of Lake Leman were rising 10 cm a year, the riparians, France and Switzerland, would not find it very difficult to cooperate in searching for ways to deal with the problem. Why? Several reasons may easily be identified. First, there has been a long established and very stable arrangement regarding almost all questions of an international nature pertaining to the lake between France and Switzerland. Furthermore, there is no major set of outstanding questions between the two countries in areas other than the lake. France and Switzerland have been in existence as independent states, as full members of the international community of nations for a long time, whatever major conflict-laden issues may have existed between them have been resolved a long time ago, giving way to an overall stability in their relationship.
