Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 50Alevis and Alevism in the Changing Context of Turkish Politics: the Justice and Development Party's Alevi Opening(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011) Soner, Bayram Ali; Toktaş, ŞuleThe Justice and Development Party (JDP Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) has launched a rapprochement policy toward the Alevis. The JDP's Alevi Opening has presented a unique case in Turkey's latest identity politics not only because Alevi claims for the first time came to be involved in political processes for official recognition and accommodation but also because the process was handled by a political party which is regarded to have retained Islamist roots in Sunni interpretation. This article explores the JDP's Alevi Opening process and tries to explain the motivations behind the party's decision to incorporate the Alevi question in its political agenda. What is more the debate that the opening has caused is also under scrutiny with the positions and arguments held by the actors and the agencies involved in the process e. g. the Alevis (the secularist and the conservative wings) the General Directorate of Religious Affairs the National Security Council the JDP leadership and the Islamist intellectuals.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Border Crossings Between Georgia and Turkey: the Sarp Land Border Gate(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Toktaş, Şule; Çelik, NihatThe Sarp land border gate between Turkey and Georgia has become Turkey's gateway to the East in recent years. With a large number of individuals crossing every day it is also a labour gate where irregular Georgian immigrants cross the border for work in Turkey. In general border policies are constructed and reconstructed in a dynamic process in which economic security ethnopolitical geopolitical and cultural paradigms interact. The aim of this paper is to observe the complementary and conflicting relationship and negotiation process between economic and security paradigms in particular with a focus on the perceptions of the officers of the border administration and state bureaucracy at the local level. To this end field research was carried out consisting of interviews with Turkish state officials responsible for immigration and border crossing in the Sarp gate region. The article sheds light on the interaction between various agencies actors and stakeholders in border policymaking at the regional level. It also elaborates on the profiles both of incoming immigrants employed as irregular workers and of deportees. The results of the qualitative study show that the dominance of the economic paradigm that underlies the main framework of Georgia-Turkey relations overrides security concerns between the two countries thus necessitating a more flexible implementation of laws. The field research illustrates that implementation of laws and regulations at the local level varies and while some groups of irregular immigrants are allowed to work others are not and what is more are deported.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 5Breaking the Rules in Interactive Media Design Education(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Özcan, Oğuzhan; Yantaç, Asım Evren; O'Neil, Mary LouIn today's interactive media design it is difficult for a designer to create aesthetic innovations and to break free from ordinariness. The most important factor limiting interactive media design aesthetics is that education seems to be more focused on following traditional rules of interaction design rather than innovative approaches. These rules limit creativity and often relegate design students to producing ordinary interface solutions. This is especially burdensome for us as teachers. In order to address this problem we developed an education model inspired by Lars von Trier's film Five Obstructions. We call this model 'breaking the rules'. In the 'breaking the rules' approach students produce within a range of probabilities design problem solutions in cases of total or partial visual/auditory/tactile obstructions. The most important outputs of the model are (1) to make design student think/look outside of the ordinary (2) to produce unusual solutions (3) to maximise design solutions with sound.Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Conventional Versus Non-Conventional Political Participation in Turkey: Dimensions Means and Consequences Introduction(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Kaya, Ayhan[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation - WoS: 6Determinants of Young People's Civic and Political Participation in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Kaya, AyhanThis special section provides a timely reflection on current debates that are of extreme relevance in order to gain a better understanding of the concepts of citizenship and active citizenship in Turkey by looking at the determinants of civic and political participation at the patterns of political and civic mobilization and at the orientations of political behaviour. Its originality stands on the specific focus on young people in comparison to other age groups. The different papers remark upon the importance that the reframing of the notions of citizenship and active citizenship have in the Turkish context along with the determinants that make this remark more relevant than ever.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Foreign Policy During 2011 Parliamentary Elections in Turkey: Both an Issue and Non-Issue(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.This article focuses on the foreign policy sections of 2011 election manifestos of the Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi (Justice and Development Party) (AKP) the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (Republican People's Party) (CHP) the Milliyetci Hareket Partisi (Nationalist Movement Party) MHP and the Emek Demokrasi ve Ozgurluk Bloku (Labor Democracy and Freedom Bloc) (EDOB) the pre-election Bars ve Demokrasi Partisi (Peace and Democracy Party) (BDP). Foreign policy is both an issue and a non-issue for Turkish electorate because although foreign policy issues have almost no impact on voters choices the parties still continue to devote space to foreign policy performances promises and projections in their election manifestos. The analysis of 2011 election manifestos reveals that the AKP primarily envisions a Turkey with more commonalities with the East than with the West but yet ranked Turkey's relations with Europe and the West higherArticle Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 13Gender and the Wage Gap in Turkish Academia(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Toktaş, ŞuleTurkey maintains one of the lowest female labour force participation rates in Europe but also boasts an above average number of female professors. Turkey is well above the European average (15 per cent) with approximately 28 per cent of full professorships being occupied by women. Despite these seemingly positive indications do men and women in Turkish academia earn the same wages? This study explores whether or not there exists a gendered pay gap in Turkish academia. Using data collected from a survey of more than 700 Turkish academics we observed that there is a gendered wage gap that disadvantages women but only at the highest pay levels found at private universities indicating the existence of intra-class inequality where men and women despite occupying the same class position are compensated differently.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Motherhood Citizenship and Rights: Illegal Abortions in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Komut, Sultan[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 3Shelters for Women Survivors of Domestic Violence: a View From Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Toktaş, Şule; Diner, Çağla[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Smuggling and Trafficking in Turkey: an Analysis of Eu-Turkey Cooperation in Combating Transnational Organized Crime(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Toktaş, Şule; Selimoglu, HandeSince the 1990s there has been a global proliferation of transnational organized crime (TOC). Turkey as a transit site between the East and the West has been one of the routes through which organized crime groups transport illicit goods in collaboration with other networks of crime. This paper investigates TOC in Turkey and maps out Turkey's role as a transit country in smuggling and trafficking. The paper also deals with Turkey's contribution to international efforts in combating TOC in light of its EU membership process. The European Commission's annual reports on Turkey's progress towards EU membership that highlight the achievements as well as the shortcomings of Turkey in combating TOC are presented. The paper argues that Turkey has introduced successful reforms and expanded its institutional capacities due to the progress it has achieved in the specific area of combating TOC as evidenced by the EU progress reports.Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Turkey's New Dynamics in Domestic and Foreign Policy(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Aras, Bülent; Toktaş, Şule[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 33The Turkish Military's Autonomy Jdp Rule and the Eu Reform Process in the 2000s: an Assessment of the Turkish Version of Democratic Control of Armed Forces (decaf)(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Toktaş, Şule; Kurt, UmitThis article tackles the question of Europeanization in Turkey's civil-military relations and the extent to which the EU has served as an anchor in the civilian control over the Turkish Armed Forces. We argue that the EU membership process has necessitated democratization in civil-military relationsArticle Citation - WoS: 102Citation - Scopus: 119Waves of Feminism in Turkey: Kemalist Islamist and Kurdish Women's Movements in an Era of Globalization(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Diner, Çağla; Toktaş, Şule[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Women's Property Rights in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Toktaş, ŞuleAbstract This article takes Turkey as a case study exploring marital and inheritance regimes with regard to their impact on women and their ability to protect women's property rights. The aim of the study is to bring to light the workings of the legal system that regulate the acquisition of property and to scrutinize the gap between the law and its practice in Turkish society. By taking this approach the article does not only focus on laws but also on how these laws are adopted by society. Thus two levels of analysis-de jure and de facto-are utilized for an investigation of women's property rights and hence their social and economic status.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Youth Activists and Occupygezi: Patterns of Social Change in Public Policy and in Civic and Political Activism in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Chrona, StavroulaThe research puzzle that our paper focuses on is the struggle of youth organizations to have their voice heard in public policy processes. We examine the implications of occupygezi in establishing or not a new relationship with the political domain and policy makers in Turkey. By drawing on a policy analysis framework this paper looks at whether occupygezi opened up new windows of opportunities for social and political change for youth activists in Turkey. In doing so we rely upon the results of a number of in-depth interviews conducted in 2015/16 in Turkey with representatives of youth organizations.
