Algı mı, söylem mi? Kopenhag Okulu ve yeni-klasik gerçekçilikte güvenlik tehditleri
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2011) Akgül Açıkmeşe, Sinem
Bu makale, güvenlik tehditlerinin ortaya çıkışı bakımından yeni-klasik gerçekçilikteki algısal yaklaşımla, Kopenhag Okulunun söylemle inşaya dayalı yöntemini karşılaştırmaktadır. Makalenin hareket noktası, güvenlik tehditlerinin içeriği ve güvenlik aktörleri bakımından farklı perspektifl ere sahip bu iki yaklaşımın güvenliğin çalışılmasında metodolojik benzerlikler içermesi nedeniyle karşılaştırılabilir olduğu varsayımıdır. Makale, tehditlerin ortaya çıkışı bakımından yeni-klasik gerçekçiliğin algılara dayalı öznel yaklaşımının Kopenhag Okulu tarafından kısmen benimsendiğini vurgulayarak, Okulun söyleme dayalı özneler-arası alternatif bir model geliştirdiğini aktarmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, makale öncelikle Güvenlik Çalışmaları yazınında güvenlik tehdidinin içeriği konusundaki tartışmalara yer vermektedir. Ardından, yeni-klasik gerçekçiliği çatısında barındıran Gerçekçi Güvenlik Çalışmalarının tehdidin içeriği ve ortaya çıkışına dair varsayımlarını karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmekte ve yeni-klasik gerçekçiliğin algısal perspektifi ni analiz etmektedir. Son olarak, Kopenhag Okulunun tehditlerle ilgili analizinin çerçevesini oluşturan güvenlikleştirme yaklaşımının tehditlerin kapsamı ve dayanağına dair tespitlerini Okulun kullandığı söz edimi, siyaset teorisi ve söylem analizi perspektifl erinden yeni-klasik gerçekçilikle karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemektedir.

An 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, Korhan
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 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.

Dynamics of Cooperation and Conflict in NATO-EU Relations
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2014) Acikmese Akgul, Sinem; Dizdaroğlu, Cihan
NATO'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.

The 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 Emre
Using 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.

Energy Security: NATO's New Threat Perception
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2014) Çelikpala, Mitat
Energy 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.

Enerji güvenliği: NATO’nun yeni tehdit algısı
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2014) Çelikpala, Mitat
Enerji güvenliği, ana amacı İttifak üyelerini askeri tehditlere karşı savunmak olan NATO’nun öncelikli konu başlıkları arasına ancak son on yılda girebilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, NATO’nun Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde düzenlenen zirvelerinde yayınlanan zirve bildirgeleri ve stratejik konseptler ile çeşitli NATO zeminlerinde yapılan tartışmalar ışığında, enerji güvenliğinin NATO için taşıdığı anlam ve önem üzerinde durulmaktadır. NATO’nun enerji güvenliği kavramına yaklaşımı değerlendirilerek, önümüzdeki süreçte enerji güvenliği konusunun NATO çerçevesinde ne yönde şekillenebileceği ortaya konmaya çalışılmaktadır.

The European Union's Immigration Policy: Managing Migration in Turkey and Morocco
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Oral, Gul
Migration has been an important reason for externalization of the EU’s policies towards non- member third countries. Throughout the 2000s, the European Union has advanced its efforts for externalization of its immigration policies with the aim of providing security, stability, and prosperity in the neighborhood due to emerging demographic, economic and security problems.

Export Conditions of the Chinese Textile Industry: An Analysis in Comparison with Selected ASEAN Countries
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2010) Lau, Chi Keung Marco; Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin
This paper provides a comprehensive and disaggregated set of elasticity estimates to date in the face of MFA abolishment. The estimates made here are at a detailed level of disaggregation and should provide researchers with opportunities for future analysis. We used the gravity model to estimate the trade elasticity of China's apparel cottons in the US market for the period between 1989 and 2009. From the gravity model two phenomena are observed. First there exists a unique long-run equilibrium relationship among the import quantity demand the import price and the US GDP per capita. Second import price and income elasticity are significant with the expected signs conditions of which are significant for performing trade-policy analyses.

The great game in the Levant: energy geopolitics in the Eastern Mediterranean [Levant’ta büyük oyun: Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji jeopolitiği]
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2012) Ediger, Volkan S.; Devlen, Balkan; McDonald, Deniz Bingöl
This study explores the historical evolution of the Levant region from the trade system to hydrocarbon geopolitics by using a longue duree approach one which evaluates the region's present situation in light of developments in oil and natural gas exploration production and export. The concepts of great power politics and balance of power frame the investigation of permanent and changing dimensions of hydrocarbon geopolitics. The first of the two hypotheses tested and verified in this study is that the geopolitics of the Levant maintains its historical importance for the global hegemon and for the international state system even though the central thrust of the Levant's geopolitics has been tranformed from trade to energy. The second hypothesis is that regional and global peace and stability increase when the geopolitics of the Levant is in the control of a hegemon. Instances of conflict increase and opportunities for cooperation decrease when the Levant's geopolitics slips from the grasp of a single hegemon as a result of shifts in the balance of power. Following a discussion of threats and opportunities for conflict and cooperation in the Levant region possible strategies for the regional actors are evaluated. Lastly the threats and opportunities that Turkey faces are situated within emergent trends in the energy geopolitics of the region.

Greece's Strategy and Perceptions towards Turkey: The End of Consensus and the Return of History?
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Ifantis, Kostas
The paper focuses on the impact of the crisis on the Greek public debate on perception of and strategy towards Turkey. The analysis is placed in the context of a strategic consensus that was ruptured during the crisis and the lack of bipartisanship on the country's security preferences. Although Athens and Ankara have enjoyed an unusually long period of calm waters in the Aegean from 1999 to 2016 the last two years have produced the familiar aggressive rhetoric and mutual mistrust. With the bilateral issues intact the traditional inertia on both sides can easily turn into heightened tensions with the risk of miscalculation given the proximity of military hardware being hardly insignificant. The paper also presents some of the findings of a research conducted by the two guest editors of this special issue on the Greek elites' perceptions of Turkey in the midst of the crisis.

Greek Foreign Policy in Defence of the National Interest: Teetering between Exceptionalism and Integration
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Triantaphyllou, Dimitrios
This paper aims to explain how crisis-ridden Greece defines and defends its national interest. The constellation of the twin economic and migration crises coupled with the increasingly transactional nature of the global order have forced Greece's hand in sticking to its guns with regard to its membership in both NATO and the European Union. While deterrence vis-a-vis Turkey remains a high priority Greece has had to labour to regain its status and credibility within both aforementioned organizations by evolving away from its traditional policy of balancing between its membership obligations in NATO and the EU and its more nuanced approach to relations with Russia in contrast to many other countries. This has been done with the consensual adoption across the mainstream political spectrum of a policy of strategic realism which sees a distancing from the Euro-Atlantic context as an anathema albeit the persistence of the reflex of exceptionalism and ethno-centrism. Its flank state status and the danger of further marginalization at a time of a changing Turkey have forced its hand while also presenting opportunities for the adoption of a renewed positive agenda with its neighbours.

Income Inequality and FDI: Evidence with Turkish Data
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Haug, Alfred Albert; Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin
This article explores how foreign direct investment (FDI) and other determinants impact income inequality in Turkey in the short- and long-run. We apply the nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) modelling approach which is suitable for small samples. The data for the study cover the years from 1970 to 2008. The empirical results indicate the existence of a co-integration relationship among the variables with asymmetric adjustment of the income distribution in the short- and long-run. The negative impact of FDI on the Gini coefficient decreasing income inequality is statistically significant in the short- and long-run though with a quantitatively small impact in both cases. In the short run GDP growth increases inequality initially an effect that is reversed in the next period increases in domestic gross capital formation decreases inequality and increases in the literacy rate have very minor adverse effects on income equality. However in the long run these variables have no statistically significant effects on the Gini coefficient. A reduction in the population growth rate reduces inequality in the short run but has no effect in the long run whereas an increase in the rate reduces inequality in the long run but has no effect in the short run.

International Relations in Turkey: An Evaluation on the Findings of TRIP 2018
(Uluslararası Ilişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Aydın, Mustafa; Dizdaroğlu, Cihan
In parallel with the worldwide studies focusing on the International Relations (IR) discipline, there have been works looking into the transformation of the IR discipline in Turkey and its contribution to the global knowledge production. In order to provide sound data for these studies, International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) conducted two surveys among the Turkish IR academics in 2007 and 2009, and have been cooperating with the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary since then on the Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) project. The TRIP surveys that aim to understand the epistemological and ontological limits, autonomous character of the IR discipline as well as the theoretical, metodological and pedagocial approaches in which IR scholars used in their teaching and research activities, also help to comprehend the place of the Turkish IR scholars within the global IR discipline. This paper presents Turkey-related findings of the lastest survey, which was simultaneously conducted in 35 different countries between February and July 2018.

IR Theoretical Approach to the Paris Climate Agreement: Neo-Neo Debate Eco-Marxism and Green Capitalism
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2017) Ünver, Hamid Akın
Continued inability of the international climate negotiations to reach a common resolution has been subject to academic and scientific research focus. These studies have focused on the ways of fostering cooperation and preventing free-riding in climate negotiations through the development of balancing methods. This article first attempts to explore why climate negotiations since 1997 Kyoto Protocol have failed and how such failures could be overcome in 2015 Paris UN Climate Conference through a neorealist and neoliberal institutionalist context. Especially neorealist concepts such as systemic anarchy self-helf and relative gains along with the neoliberal institutionalist response to them through complex interdependence and abolute gains have been instrumental to crafting a theoretical answer to the success of most recent climate negotiations. The article then adds two new systemic-theoretical approach to the debate namely Eco-Marxism and Green Capitalism and aims to contextualize these approaches within international relations theoretical literature.

Levant’ta büyük oyun: Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji jeopolitiği
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2012) Ediger, Volkan S.
Levant Bölgesi’ndeki ticaret sisteminden başlayarak bölgenin hidrokarbon jeopolitiğine geçiş sürecine kadar uzanan tarihsel gelişimin uzun erimli (longue dureé) bakış açısıyla incelendiği bu çalışmada, bölgenin günümüzdeki durumu, petrol ve doğal gazın arama, üretim ve ihracı konusunda özellikle 2000’li yıllardan bu yana yaşanan gelişmelerle değerlendirilmiştir. Bölgenin hidrokarbon jeopolitiğindeki çatışma ve iş birliğinin sabit ve değişen boyutlarına, uluslararası ilişkilerin güç politikaları ve güçler dengesi gibi kavramları çerçevesinde özel bir yer verilmiştir. Bu çalışma sonunda test edilerek doğrulanan iki temel hipotezden bir tanesi, zaman içinde ticaretten enerjiye evrimleşen Levant jeopolitiğinin, küresel başat güç ve uluslararası devletler sistemindeki güç dengeleri için önemini uzun tarihi boyunca koruduğudur. Buna bağlı olarak geliştirilen ikinci hipotez de, Levant jeopolitiğinin kontrolünün başat gücün elinde olduğu zamanlarda bölgesel ve küresel çaptaki barış ve istikrarın arttığıdır. Güç dengelerindeki kaymalardan ötürü Levant’taki jeopolitik kontrol tek bir gücün elinden çıkmaya başladığı zamanlarda çatışmalar artmakta, iş birlikleri azalmaktadır. Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji konusunda günümüzde karşı karşıya kaldığı tehdit ve fırsatların incelenmesinin ardından bölgedeki çatışma ve iş birliği olanakları konusunda çıkarımlar yapılarak, bölgesel aktörlerin temel stratejileri değerlendirilmiştir. Levant’ta öne çıkan yeni enerji jeopolitiğinin bölgenin önemli bir gücü olan Türkiye için oluşturacağı tehdit ve fırsatlar tartışılmıştır.

Levantine Challenges on Turkish Foreign Policy
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Aydın, Mustafa; Dizdaroğlu, Cihan
Turkey's perception of the Levant has been hazy in modern times and the country has not constructed a holistic approach towards the region until recently despite the fact that Turkey has sought closer cooperation with the Levantine countries since the late 1990s. In addition to Turkey's willingness to open up to the region recent international developments such as the discovery of hydrocarbons off the coast of Israel Egypt and Cyprus the outbreak of the Arab Spring and changes in the regional balance of power have provided momentum for Turkey's engagement with the region. This paper argues that although these factors have provided space for Turkey to play a more assertive role in the region the country has thus far failed to present a successful region-wide strategy or carve up an influence zone.
