2015 PARİS İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ KONFERANSI ÇERÇEVESİNDE NÜKLEER ENERJİ: BİR ÇÖZÜM MÜ, YOKSA BİR SORUN MU?
(Rasim Özgür Dönmez, 2017) Keçeci, F. Orçun
İklim değişikliği sadece gelişmekte olan ülkeler için değil aynı zamanda gelişmiş sanayi toplumları için de küresel bir sorundur. Karbondioksit (CO2) yayarak daha fazla fosil yakıt tüketmek iklim değişikliğine yol açar ve bu sorun insan faaliyetlerinden kaynaklanır. İklim değişikliğinin bir sonucu olarak küresel ısınma tüm insanlığı ve ekolojik dengeyi tehdit etmektedir. Devletler arasındaki farklılık ve sorunlara rağmen; dünya ülkeleri son zamanlarda iklim değişikliğiyle uluslararası arenada mücadele etmektedir. Özellikle iklim değişikliğine yönelik riskleri azaltmak amacıyla Kasım 2015’te gerçekleştirilen Paris İklim Değişikliği Konferansı’ndaki en önemli meselelerden birisi nükleer enerjidir. Bu bağlamda, bu makale nükleer enerjinin iklim değişikliğine katkı sağlayıp sağlamayacağını incelemektedir.

The AKP story: Turkey's bumpy reform path towards the European Union
(2011) McDonald, Deniz Bingöl
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government between 2002 and 2007 managed to accomplish unprecedented economic reforms maintaining 8% growth and passed legislation to change Turkey into a more democratic country in line with the Copenhagen political conditions. After being rewarded with the start of accession negotiations in 2005 and an electoral landslide in 2007 AKP's second term in office is in stark contrast with its earlier days of glory. AKP disengaged itself from the IMF agreement and took EU reforms off the top of its agenda bringing half a decade of political and economic reforms to a halt. The paper argues that AKP utilized the credibility of IMF and EU support to defeat its domestic rivals but once the external incentives lessened AKP turned inwards to consolidate its power and cared for little else. The first part of the paper explores how AKP managed to construct such a broad reform consensus and assesses the role of the external influence. The second part explores why and how this reform consensus fell apart.

Başarısızdevlet-demokratik model ülke sarmalında Gürcistan'ın 20 yılı
(2012) Çelikpala, Mitat
Gürcistan, bağımsızlığın ilan edildiği 1990’lı yıllardan bu güne zayıf siyasi, ekonomik ve finansal yapısı ile etnik sorunlarıyla sürekli olarak bir başarısız devlet görüntüsü sergiledi. Ülkede güçlü, demokratik ve kapsayıcı bir siyasi liderin çıkmaması, etkin muhalefetin oluşamaması birçok sorunlara yol açtı. Gürcistan’ın kısa vadeli geleceği, 2012’de yapılacak parlamento seçimleriyle nasıl bir parlamento oluşacağı ve 2013’te yapılacak başkanlık seçimlerinin nasıl seyredeceği konusuna bağlıdır. Seçimlerden sonra yürürlüğe girecek anayasa değişikliklerinin nasıl bir düzen oluşturacağı, Saakaşvili’nin siyasi tavrı ve geleceği, Gürcistan’ın ana gündemini belirleyecektir. Gürcistan’ın en büyük sorunu, Saakaşvili’nin karşısına 2003–2004 dönemindeki gibi etkili ve güçlü bir yeni Saakaşvili’nin çıkmamış olmasıdır. Saakaşvili’nin Rusya’dakine benzer bir “Putin-Medvedev” senaryosunu mu tercih edeceği yoksa farklı ve demokratik bir yol mu izleyeceği henüz belirsizliğini korumaktadır.

Changing Naval Balances In The Eastern Mediterranean: Implications For Turkey
(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2016) Güvenç, Serhat; Egeli, Sıtkı
This 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.

Computational 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 Akın
Computational 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.

Contending Agendas For The Black Sea Region: A Turkish Alternative
(Genelkurmay ATASE SAREM Başkanlığı, 2010) Aydın, Mustafa
Soğuk Savaşın sona ermesi yüzlerce yıl çok sayıda çatışmaya tanıklık etmiş olan Karadeniz havzasında çok taraflı iş birliğine dayalı yeni bir siyasi çerçevenin gelişmesini mümkün kıldı. Avrasya’nın ortasındaki stratejik konumu nedeniyle geniş alanları kontrol edebilen Karadeniz coğrafyası Soğuk Savaş sonrasının değişen jeopolitiğinde önemli bir yer işgal etmeye devam etmektedir. Bölgenin kendine özgü jeopolitiği ve stratejik değeri bölge ülkeleri açısından uluslararası ilişkilerinde çeşitli avantajlar sağlamaktaysa da sıklıkla bölgesel ve uluslararası güvenlik ve istikrar için önemli riskleri de içinde barındırmaktadır. Bu çalışma büyük güçlerin (ABD, RF ve AB) son yıllarda bölgeye yönelik artan ilgileri ve özellikle güvenlik arayışlarının bölgeselleşmesinin her zaman olumlu sonuçlar doğurmayabileceği ve çatışmalara yol açabileceğini ileri sürerek; bir alternatif sunması açısından, Karadeniz vizyonunu bu güçlerden farklı olarak, küresel endişelerden ziyade bölgesel arayışlara dayandıran Türkiye’nin politikalarını değerlendirecektir.

Do 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 Hüseyin
Using 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.

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.

Financial marriage of convenience between China and the US: Sustainability of dollar - wall street regime in the post-2008 crisis
(IGI Global, 2013) Dilek, Oğuz; İşeri, Emre
Despite growing global concerns regarding the reliability of the American economy in general and the Dollar as a Negotiated Currency in particular US-shaped regime of international finance will survive the present difficulties. This is mainly due to the fact that China would be predisposed to maintain its backing of the US Dollar not to harm it because it staked a massive economic and political capital in that. Beijing has so far persisted in assisting the global value of the US Dollar (sacrificing considerable sums of economic return) which is an apt move to beef up the American domestic market with the intention of keeping Chinese factories busy at all times. © 2013 by IGI Global.

Geopolitics and gas-transit security through pipelines
(Springer International Publishing, 2020) Aydın, Mustafa; Bowlus, John V.; Aydın, Mustafa
Hydrocarbons are valuable only if they can be transited from where they are produced to where they are consumed. Despite the enduring importance of transit to the global energy system, the topic did not begin to be extensively analyzed until contentious relations between Russia and Ukraine disrupted natural gas flows to Europe in 2006. This chapter examines the geopolitics and security of transiting gas through pipelines by exploring the connection between geography, global energy strategies, and natural gas markets. Gas has grown in recent years as a percentage of global energy consumption and is helping the world transition to a cleaner energy regime. At the same time, it is intensifying the contest for and control of gas-transit routes. Russia, the world’s second-largest producer, has built new pipelines to Europe since 2006 in order to diversify its flow from relying on Ukraine, while the USA, the world’s largest gas producer, is increasingly exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) through sea routes mostly controlled by the US navy. We argue that geostrategic calculations will more profoundly affect gas transit in the future and that countries that rely solely on market or commercial factors for their gas-transit security will become increasingly vulnerable to geopolitical volatility.

Ideology Political Agenda and Conflict: A Comparison of American European and Turkish Legislatures' Discourses on Kurdish Question
(Center Foreign Policy & Peace Research, 2017) Ünver, Hamid Akın
Combining discourse analysis with quantitative methods this article compares how the legislatures of Turkey the US and the EU discursively constructed Turkey's Kurdish question. An examination of the legislative-political discourse through 1990 to 1999 suggests that a country suffering from a domestic secessionist conflict perceives and verbalizes the problem differently than outside observers and external stakeholders do. Host countries of conflicts perceive their problems through a more security-oriented lens and those who observe these conflicts at a distance focus more on the humanitarian aspects. As regards Turkey this study tests politicians' perceptions of conflicts and the influence of these perceptions on their pre-existing political agendas for the Kurdish question and offers a new model for studying political discourse on intra-state conflicts. The article suggests that a political agenda emerges as the prevalent dynamic in conservative politicians' approaches to the Kurdish question whereas ideology plays a greater role for liberal/pro-emancipation politicians. Data shows that politically conservative politicians have greater variance in their definitions based on material factors such as financial electoral or alliance-building constraints whereas liberal and/or left-wing politicians choose ideologically confined discursive frameworks such as human rights and democracy.

Imperial legacies and neo-Ottomanism: eastern Europe and Turkey
(SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, 2012) McDonald, Deniz Bingöl
This article examines whether the presence of imperial legacies in Central and South-eastern Europe affects their foreign policy stances and public opinion towards Turkish accession to the EU. It first discusses the boundaries of the ideational factors affecting the perception of Turkey namely the historical legacy of the Ottoman Empire as a European power in Eastern Europe. Secondly it looks at the ideational factors in how Turkish foreign policy more specifically Turkey's EU membership is perceived by Eastern and South-eastern European political elite and public. The author finds that in places where the Ottoman Empire is perceived in more historically distant terms the more positive or neutral views are of Turkish membership. It concludes with a juxtaposition of Eastern European stances with Turkey's new foreign policy strategies. It recommends that Turkish foreign policy should not neglect advocacy in the western part of the old Ottoman sphere of influence where new EU members lie. These may indeed by transformed into new allies to support Turkey's bid against the opponents among older EU members.
