(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2016) Aydın, Mustafa; Hisarlioğlu,F.; Yazgan,K.
Despite the increasing interest in the studies inquiring the limits, autonomous character of and the interactions between the International Relations (IR) discipline and other academic fields, the scope and scale of empirical research on these issues are relatively small. In order to contribute to the discussion on the limits and peculiarities of the IR discipline and to shed light on the development, current status and major characteristics of the IR studies in Turkey, its place in the global IR discipline and the views of IR scholars on major issues on the global, regional and national agenda, two surveys were conducted by the International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) in 2007 and 2009. Later on, the IRTC collaborated with the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary to conduct further surveys in 2011 and 2014. This paper presents findings of the last survey on Turkey, based on the worldwide research simultaneously conducted in 31 different countries in September 2014. © 2016, International Relations Council of Turkey.

The survey aims to explain and understand the development, current status and major characteristics of the In ternational Relations (IR) studies in Turkey, its place in the global IR discipline and the views of IR scholars on major issues on the global, regional and national agenda. This report aims to present the results of the survey comparatively at the global and national scale. The findings were organized in such a way to also test the argument that there is a functional core/periphery division in the world of IR, according to which the Western core countries undertake theoreti cal knowledge production and other countries provide local expertise and data.

Survey of international relations faculty in Turkey: Research, teaching and views on the discipline - 2009;
(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2010) Aydın, Mustafa; Yazgan,K.
One of the major weaknesses of the studies on the development of International Relations (IR) curricula in Turkey is the lack of systematic data on the characteristics, history, development and current status of the IR academia. In order to reveal research practices of academicians, and how international relations is taught and how IR scholars perceive the discipline, an online survey was conducted among the faculty members of the IR Departments in Turkey in June-July 2009. Scholars were asked to answer 55 questions about the IR curriculum, courses, research subjects, and major theoretical approaches, political attitudes, funds, language and types of publication, academic journals, universities, the involvement of academy in policy-making process and nonacademic intellectual activities. The results of the survey indicates that IR studies in Turkey seems to be foreign policy oriented, focus on Turkey and the big power policies and the discipline is under the influence of Realism.
