How Do Women Receive Inheritance? The Processes of Turkish Women's Inclusion and Exclusion from Property
(SOOKMYUNG WOMENS UNIV, 2013) Toktaş, Şule; O'Neil, Mary Lou
This article employs Turkey as a case study to explore the relationship between property ownership inheritance and women's empowerment. In Turkey as in much of the world men dominate ownership of property. This is despite the fact that women have had equal rights to own and inherit property since 1926. With the establishment of the Republic in 1923 came a series of reforms one of which replaced Islamic Sharia law with a secular civil law that was based on the Swiss Civil Code. The new law among other things guaranteed equal rights of property and inheritance regardless of gender. In an attempt to understand the tangled relationship between property and women's empowerment we conducted interviews regarding inheritance practices among ideologically secular wealthy women in Istanbul. For these women and their families the logic of wealth distribution is deeply informed by a commitment to equality between children with little regard for gender.

POST-HEGEMONIC (DIS)ORDER AND REGIIONAL BALANCING STRATEGIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST
(Univ Complutense Madrid, 2019) Ifantis, Kostas
Following the so-called Arab Spring, the strategic situation in the Middle East has been one of disorder. A series of critical, complex and interrelated security failures have resulted in chaos and bloodshed unprecedented even for a region with Middle East's history and legacy. The demand for intervention has been high but the response has been very low. In such an unchartered and rapidly deteriorating regional security setting, this paper argues that the conspicuous absence of US hegemonic engagement has allowed for the return to overt regional balance of power strategies and proxy conflicts. Our hypothesis is that a regional balance of power and the resulting order (or disorder) heavily depends on the type of great power regional engagement. In such a context, the "hands off" or non-hegemonic approach that characterizes US strategy since the Arab Spring eruption has heavily contributed to a highly disorderly regional balance of power landscape. In the absence of US hegemonic involvement, revisionist threats emerge and local rivalries intensify.
