Article Citation Count: 1A 2020 vision for the Black Sea region: the Commission on the Black Sea proposes(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Aydın, Mustafa; Triantaphyllou, DimitriosThe Black Sea region is coming into its own although it is at times a contested and dangerous neighbourhood. Despite heightened interest in the region its real priorities and needs are still being largely ignored by insiders and outsiders alike. What is needed are regional solutions for regional problems. The authors present the key findings and recommendations of the Commission on the Black Sea a civil society initiative comprising a number of current and former policy-makers scholars and practitioners both from within the region and from outside with the purpose of contributing to a joint vision and a common strategy for the Black Sea region by developing new knowledge in areas of key concern.Article Citation Count: 13After the Crimean crisis: towards a greater Russian maritime power in the Black Sea(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Delanoe, IgorThe modernization of the Black Sea Fleet currently underway is believed to be one of the most ambitious parts of the Russian State Arms Procurement programme 2011-2020. Up to 18 units are being built and are expected to be commissioned in the Russian Black Sea Fleet by 2020 while new infrastructures are being developed. However Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014 has overthrown the Black Sea maritime context. It is likely to give substantial impetus to Russian naval plans in the Black Sea and by extension to sustain Moscow's resumption of naval activity in the Mediterranean. Yet whereas Russia's maritime power has been dramatically enhanced due to the takeover of Crimea Moscow's naval power in the Black Sea and in the Mediterranean remains challenged by a set of qualitative factors. Beyond the Ukrainian crisis has demonstrated the inability of the European Union to manage its Black Sea environment as well as it has highlighted the United States waning influence and interests in the region.Article Citation Count: 12An Analysis of International Relations Academics in Turkey and their approaches to the field: TRIP 2014 Faculty Survey Results(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2016) Aydın, Mustafa; Hisarlıoğlu, Fulya; Yazgan, KorhanDespite 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 LR. 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.Editorial Citation Count: 3The Black Sea Region: The Neighbourhood too Close to yet still Far from the European Union(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Acikmese Akgul, Sinem; Triantaphyllou, Dimitrios[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 5Changing dynamics of Turkish foreign and security policies in the Caucasus(Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2011) Aydın, Mustafa[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 3Changing Naval Balances In The Eastern Mediterranean: Implications For Turkey(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2016) Güvenç, Serhat; Egeli, SıtkıThis paper is aimed at providing an assesement of the growing Russian naval strength and assertiveness in the Eastern Mediterranean and its implications for Turkey's place in the regional naval power hierarchy after Moscow's direct involvement in the Syrian conflict in 2015. Although the main focus is on the Eastern Mediterranean the region obviously cannot be decoupled from the Black Sea and to some extent from the Aegean. Therefore this paper argues that the naval power hierarchy in these three regions have both historically influenced and been influenced by developments in others.Article Citation Count: 5Civilizational futures: Clashes or alternative visions in the age of globalization?(Elsevier Science, 2010) Aydın, Mustafa; Özen, ÇınarThis article underlines the existing similarities between Samuel Huntington's civilizational approach hypothesis and the fundamentals of political Islam. The similarity pertains to the argument related to the gradual weakening of nation-states which also constitutes the main theme of the globalization debate. The civilizational approach and political Islam signify new efforts to reach a much larger political community and organization in world politics. Both of them argue that the formation of new political actor(s) is replacing the old nation-states across religious and cultural affinities. The terrorist organization Al-Qaeda is trying to legitimize its political violence by manipulating the weakness of the nation-states and the utopia of the formation of a much more comprehensive political community and political organization through Islam. Huntington's clash of civilizations thesis indirectly provides a base for Al-Qaeda's rhetoric and a certain type of justification for its terror activities since the theory argues for the inevitability of the conflict between civilizations regardless of their political regimes (liberal or totalitarian) with civilizations being determined by their cultural and religious differences a theme that is used by the ideologues of political Islam.

The current state of the Turkish motor vehicle industry stands in contrast to its modest origins which can be traced back to the early years of the Cold War. In the 1950s a private company ventured into the business of assembling Willy's Jeeps in Turkey. The early developmental trajectory of the Turkish automobile manufacturing resembled the experiences of many other countries that resorted to import substitution to reduce foreign currency dependency for automobile imports. However it differed significantly from others in two ways. First it was not undertaken in response to a coordinated government policy but rather as a one-off private initiative. Second it was justified in the context of the Cold War military and strategic requirements. In other words it stands out among its contemporaries in terms of the prominence of military and defense considerations that shaped US and Turkish military views on a private venture during the Cold War. Although the Jeep assembly experience in Turkey ended in failure its products had remained in service in the Turkish Army for nearly 50 years surviving the Cold War and beyond. The experience also left its deep imprint on Turkey's pursuit of an indigenously designed and manufactured automobile.Article Citation Count: 6Computational International Relations What Can Programming, Coding and Internet Research Do for the Discipline?(Dış Politika ve Barış Araştırmaları Merkezi, İhsan Doğramacı Barış Vakfı, 2019) Ünver, Hamid AkınComputational Social Science emerged as a highly technical and popular discipline in the last few years, owing to the substantial advances in communication technology and daily production of vast quantities of personal data. As per capita data production significantly increased in the last decade, both in terms of its size (bytes) as well as its detail (heartrate monitors, internet-connected appliances, smartphones), social scientists’ ability to extract meaningful social, political and demographic information from digital data also increased. A vast methodological gap exists in ‘computational international relations’, which refers to the use of one or a combination of tools such as data mining, natural language processing, automated text analysis, web scraping, geospatial analysis and machine learning to provide larger and better organized data to test more advanced theories of IR. After providing an overview of the potentials of computational IR and how an IR scholar can establish technical proficiency in computer science (such as starting with Python, R, QGis, ArcGis or Github), this paper will focus on some of the author’s works in providing an idea for IR students on how to think about computational IR. The paper argues that computational methods transcend the methodological schism between qualitative and quantitative approaches and form a solid foundation in building truly multi-method research design.Article Citation Count: 5Cultural heritage as status seeking: The international politics of Turkey's restoration wave(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Yanık, Lerna K.; Subotic, JelenaThis article explores the relationship between cultural heritage politics and international status-seeking. We advance a two-fold typology of status-seeking that explains why states engage in cultural heritage restoration practices at home and abroad. First, cultural heritage restoration can be an easy way to signal state respect of its multicultural past while providing cover for continuing anti-multicultural policies of the present. States with uncertain, challenged, or liminal international status use cultural heritage projects as a 'standard of civilization' of democracy, displaying themselves on the international stage as worthy of status and respect. Cultural heritage here is used as a strategy for international status affirmation. Second, states may engage in cultural heritage restoration beyond their borders, supporting or directly managing renovation of these sites in order to expand their imagined national cultural, political, and economic domain. Cultural heritage restoration projects here serve as a backdrop for powerful international economic alliances that can be used for status substitution-replacing one status-generating benchmark of 'standard of civilization' with another-economic prosperity. We illustrate these arguments with two recent cases of cultural heritage restoration that involve Turkey: the 'Akdamar' Church in Van, Turkey and the Tomb of Gul Baba in Budapest, Hungary.Article Citation Count: 9Determinants of Currency Crises in Turkey Some Empirical Evidence(M.E Sharpe Inc., 2010) Karabulut, Gökhan; Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin; Danisoglu, Ayse CelikelCurrency crises have become a serious threat for developing countries especially since the financial deregulation process and the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. In the past two decades Turkey has experienced two major currency crises. This study aims to predict the determinants of currency crises in Turkey by using an ordered probit model. According to the results short-term debt/GDP real exchange rate deposit interest rates foreign exchange reserves/imports and credit/deposit variables are all significant in explaining currency crises in Turkey.Book Review Citation Count: 0The Discourses of Capitalism: Everyday Economists and the Production of Common Sense(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2018) Gürbüz, Selman Emre[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 4Do structural breaks in exchange rate volatility matter? Evidence from Asia-Pacific currencies(Bilgesel Yayincilik San & Tic Ltd, 2011) Su, Yongyang; Lau, Chi Keung Marco; Bilgin, Mehmet HüseyinUsing the U.S. dollar exchange rate return series of three major Asia-Pacific currencies this paper investigates the empirical relevance of structural breaks in exchange rate volatilities. We find significant evidence of structural breaks in the unconditional variances of all three exchange rate returns implying unstable GARCH processes for these exchange rates. Various methods of accommodating structural breaks were considered when forecasting daily exchange rate volatility using GARCH models. In sharp contrast to previous evidence from currencies of developed countries accommodating structural breaks however did not improve out-of-sample forecasts of exchange rate volatility i.e. a simple GARCH(11) with expanding window model performed best in forecasting exchange rate volatilities in these emerging markets.Article Citation Count: 0Dynamics of Cooperation and Conflict in NATO-EU Relations(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2014) Acikmese Akgul, Sinem; Dizdaroğlu, CihanNATO's supremacy in the security and defence structures of the Euro-Atlantic region during the Cold War era has prevented the development of a self-sustained European security mechanism. With the end of the Cold War specifically with the St. Malo Summit in 1998 which was a breakthrough in the advancement of the Common Security and Defence Policy the NATO-EU relationship became pronounced. Since then opportunities for and difficulties of collaboration have both defined this inter-institutional relationship between NATO and the EU. Despite a series of arrangements for strengthening the institutional framework of NATO-EU relations as well as the Berlin-plus agreements the argument of an effective cooperation between two organizations would be misguided. Particularly discrimination against the non-EU NATO allies as well as the existence of challenges such as decoupling and duplication are hampering progress in NATO-EU relations. This article aims at shedding a light on the limited cooperation between these two organizations by focusing on the current challenges.Editorial Citation Count: 0Economic Financial and Policy Challenges in Emerging Economies Papers from the First Eurasia Business and Economics Society Conference Introduction(M.E Sharpe Inc., 2010) Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin; Danis, Hakan[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 4The Education of International Relations in Turkey and Orientalism: A Critical Pedagogical Approach to the Discipline(Uluslararasi İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Ongur, Hakan Övünç; Gürbüz, Selman EmreUsing a qualitative discourse analysis, this article aims at introducing the sub-discipline of Critical Pedagogy (CP) to the studies of International Relations (IR), incorporating the orientalist text analysis into CP and arguing over the orientalist texture of the undergraduate education of IR in Turkey. It is argued here that due to the Western-centrism of CP studies, they 'forget' to bring into question the orientalist tone of the standardized Western curricula, next to the main discussions of academic capitalism and neoliberal instrumentalization of education. Making an investigation of the curricula and the fundamental reading materials over ten selected IR programmes in Turkey, this article both recalls this need of orientalist inquiry in CP studies and provides a fresh perspective for the scholarly analysis of the IR education in Turkey. The findings suggest a non-critical reproduction of the Western literature for the Turkish IR as well as a continuation, if not reinforcement, of this literature by the Turkish-speaking academia. As a result, it is argued here that the orientalist subtext of concepts, including radical Islam, Jihadism, fundamentalism, Islamic terror, the Third World, underdevelopment, etc., has become a part of the IR literature in Turkey.Editorial Citation Count: 0Emerging Markets: Institutional Reforms FDI Capital Mobility and Abnormal Returns Introduction(M.E Sharpe Inc., 2011) Danis, Hakan; Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 3Energy Security in South East Europe(Palgrave, 2013) Çelikpala, Mitat; Kuznetsov, Alexey V.; Çelikpala, Mitat; Gleason, Gregory[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 5Energy Security: NATO's New Threat Perception(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2014) Çelikpala, MitatEnergy security could enter NATO's security agenda as one of the main issues just during the last decade. NATO leaders recognize that the disruption of the flow of vital resources could affect Alliance security interests. There is no agreement on the definition of energy security in NATO as it differs based on each country's needs ; however there is a paragraph in the NATO concept from 2010 that states the importance of energy security and in 2012 there was further agreement that NATO wants to be involved in energy security and energy efficiency of military forces. This article is focused on the issue and analyses the importance and the meaning of energy security for NATO in the light of NATO summit declarations and the various NATO's strategic concepts.Article Citation Count: 12Escalating rivalries and diverging interests: prospects for stability and security in the Black Sea region(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Çelikpala, MitatThe Black Sea region is increasingly becoming a priority on the international agenda. In fact a regional approach is emerging as actors understand that common problems need to be addressed jointly. Nevertheless cooperation efforts are hampered by a number of factors such as uneven economic and political development within and among countries nationalist forces and longstanding animosities between regional players. In this context it is imperative to foster sound policies aimed at strengthening dialogue and cooperation so as to contain and ultimately resolve conflicts with peaceful means. However there is little policy-oriented research on the challenges and opportunities for cooperation in the Black Sea region. This study is primarily devoted to exploring and understanding the security environment and the main threats to security and stability in the Black Sea region.
