Article Citation Count: 7Being seen - Headscarves and the contestation of public space in Turkey(Sage Publications Ltd, 2008) O'Neil, Mary Lou[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 5Border 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 Count: 51Market power in CEE banking sectors and the impact of the global financial crisis(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Efthyvoulou, Georgios; Yıldırım, CananThe aim of this study is to undertake an up-to-date assessment of market power in Central and Eastern European banking markets and explore how the global financial crisis has affected market power and what has been the impact of foreign ownership. Three main results emerge. First while there is some convergence in country-level market power during the pre-crisis period the onset of the global crisis has put an end to this process. Second bank-level market power appears to vary significantly with respect to ownership characteristics. Third asset quality and capitalization affect differently the margins in the pre-crisis and the crisis periods. While in the pre-crisis period the impacts are similar for all banks regardless of ownership status in the crisis period non-performing loans have a negative effect and capitalization a positive effect only for domestically-owned banks.

It shows that a country's representations can be reinforced and reaffirmed with the help of celebrities performing their talent on landmarks such as the Bosphorus Bridge and (in some cases) placing another landmark - Ortakoy Mosque - in the backdrop. Combined with the role of celebrities, these two landmarks that have come to symbolise Turkey's liminality and hybridity visually, in a very mundane manner, aim to add a cosmopolitan component, a banal one though, to the national identity. This further shows that national identity is not always made and shaped by the citizens of that country, but rather foreigners can actively contribute to certain elements of an identity. The paper also draws attention to the role of the states in the making of celebrity politics, refocusing the attention from politician celebrity interaction to state and celebrity interaction.Article Citation Count: 17Politics Policies Pronatalism and Practice: Availability and Accessibility of Abortion and Reproductive Health Services in Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) MacFarlane, Katrina A.; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Tekdemir, Deniz; Cetin, Elvin; Bilgen, Baris; Foster, Angel M.Turkey has maintained liberal contraception and abortion policies since the 1980s. In 2012 the government proposed to restrict abortionArticle Citation Count: 7Selfish vengeful and full of spite: The representations of women who have abortions on Turkish television(2013) O'Neil, Mary LouThis article analyses the portrayal of women who have abortions in four recent Turkish television series Gümü? A?k-i Memnu Hanimin Ç iftlig. i andÖyle Bir Geçer Zaman ki all of which appeared between 2005 and 2011. It is clear from the varying storylines of these melodramas that the depiction of women who have abortions on Turkish television is decidedly negative. The women who have abortions are seen as defying cultural expectations to place motherhood before all else. They are portrayed as cheating on their husbands having sex outside of marriage and prioritizing career over marriage and family. The negative portrayal of women who have abortions in Turkish soap operas perpetuates the discourse on Republican womanhood which prescribes motherhood as women's national duty and as being at the core of their identity. © 2013 Taylor and Francis.
