Abstract:
14 Mayıs 1950’de yapılan seçimle “geleneksel kesim” ile “Anadolu köylüsü”nün birlikte hareket etmesi sonucu Demokrat Parti’nin (DP) meydana getirdiği “sessiz yığın”ların başlatmış olduğu iktidar yürüyüşü büyük bir başarı ile kazanılmıştır. Bu başarı “beyaz ihtilal” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Buna halkın Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’nin (CHP) politikalarına duyduğu tepki neden olmuştur. Böylece “Yeter Söz Milletindir” yaklaşımı halk tarafından karşılık bulmuş ve DP’nin seçimi kazanması ile Türkiye’de iktidar değişikliği beraberinde elit değişimini de getirmiştir. Bu sonuç Şerif Mardin’in ifadesiyle çevrenin merkez üzerindeki zaferidir. Buna karşı çıkanlar ise bunu “karşı devrim” olarak nitelendirmişlerdir. Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) ise 3 Kasım 2002’de “Yeter Karar Milletindir” söylemi ile yola çıkmış ve “geleneksel dindar” kesim ile “Anadolu kaplanları”nın yaptığı güç birliği sonucu “sessiz devrim” yaparak iktidara gelmiştir. AKP’yi 2014 yılına kadar iktidarda tutan kadrolar elitist değillerdi bu nedenle de kimlik siyaseti yapmamışlardır. Kendilerini Türkiye’nin kültür birikimini korumaları anlamında “muhafazakâr”, modern kurum ve değerleri savunma anlamında ise “demokrat” olarak tanımlanmışlardır. “Muhafazakâr demokrat” kimliğin kabul görmesi bu nedenle olmuştur. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak yazılan makale Türkiye’de 1950- 2014 yılları arasında sağ muhafazakâr siyasette yaşanan değişimi açıklamaktadır. 1950 yılında iktidara gelen Demokrat Parti ile birlikte Türkiye’de büyük bir değişim başlatılmıştır. Başlatılan bu değişim Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi iktidarı ile birlikte sağ muhafazakâr siyasette cumhurbaşkanının doğrudan halk tarafından seçildiği 10 Ağustos 2014 tarihine kadar devam etmiştir.

Abstract:
Bu çalışmada, Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de halen erkek egemen bir alan olarak kabul edilen maden mühendisliği mesleğine kadın maden mühendisliği öğrencilerinin perspektifinden bakarak mesleğin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği yönünden irdelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de maden mühendisliği eğitimi alan kadın öğrencilerin, eğitim hayatlarında cinsiyetçi rollere dayalı olarak karşılaştıkları sorunları tespit etmeyi ve çözüm önerileri sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, 76 katılımcının görüşlerine dayalı olarak bir saha çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada katılımcılara iki kısımdan oluşan bir dijital anket dağıtılmıştır. Anketin ilk kısmında demografik bilgiler, ikinci kısmında ise katılımcıların mesleklerini toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı olarak değerlendirmelerine ilişkin sorular sorulmuştur. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler değerlendirilerek ve yorumlanarak çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.

Abstract:
Küresel bir sorun olan yoksulluk her ülkede farklı şekillerde görülmektedir. Özellikle 1980’lerden sonra uygulanmaya başlayan neo-liberal ekonomi politikaları tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de gelir dağılımındaki adaleti bozmuş, yoksulluğu daha görünür hale getirmiştir. Bugün Gini katsayısının 0,415 olarak ölçüldüğü Türkiye’de, en zengin yüzde yirmilik kesim ile en yoksul yüzde yirmilik kesim arasındaki gelir farkı 7,9 kata ulaşmıştır. Bu tablodan yola çıkarak çalışmada Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’nun güncel Gelir Dağılımı ile Yoksulluk ve Yaşam Koşulları İstatistiklerinden yararlanılarak Türkiye’de yoksulluğun görünümü hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve yoksullukla mücadele konusunda temel aktör olan Aile ve Sosyal Hizmetler Bakanlığı’nın uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Bakanlığın yoksullukla mücadele politikalarının sosyal hizmetler ve sosyal yardımlar (özellikle nakdi sosyal yardımlar) etrafında şekillendiği tespit edilmiş, yoksullukla mücadelede insanların işlevselliğini artıran, onları yapabilir kılan eğitim, sağlık, istihdam bağlantılı etkin sosyal politikaların önemi vurgulanmıştır.

Abstract:
Amaç - Çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye’nin dijital ekonomiye adaptasyon sürecinin incelenmesidir. Türkiye AB adayı bir ülkedir. Bu nedenle birlik üyesi ülkeler ile karşılaştırma yapılmış, Türkiye’nin bu ül-keler karşısında hangi yönlerini geliştirmesi gerektiği tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Eksik yönler belirlenerek bu eksiklikleri giderecek politikalar oluşturulursa Türkiye’nin dijital ekonomiye daha hızlı ve kolay adapte olması sağlanabilir. Yöntem/Metodoloji/Dizayn- Çalışmada, nitel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. 2023 yılında yayınlanan en güncel Küresel İnovasyon Endeksi raporundaki göstergeler incelenmiştir. 2023 yılı raporuna göre genel endeks puanı en yüksek ve en düşük olan AB ülkeleri ile Türki-ye arasında karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. En yüksek puan İsveç’e, en düşük puan ise Romanya’ya aittir. Sonuçlar- Türkiye’nin dijital ekonomiye adaptasyon sürecinde özel-likle kurumsal kaliteyi artırması gerektiği ifade edilebilir Politik ve operasyonel istikrar, işten çıkarma maliyeti, iş yapma politikaları Türkiye’nin kurumlar boyutundaki zayıf yönlerini oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca Türkiye’nin ekolojik sürdürülebilirlik konusunda AB ülkelerinin geri-sinde kaldığı, çevreye duyarlı bir ekonomik yapı oluşturma konusunda daha somut adımlar atması gerektiği görülmektedir. Katkı/Farklılıklar- Küresel İnovasyon Endeksi, ele alınan göstergelerin çeşitliliği ve inceleme yapılan ülke sayısı ile dijital ekonomiyi bütünsel olarak yansıtan ölçüm yöntemlerinden biridir. Bu endekste yer alan bütün boyut ve göstergeleri ayrıntılı olarak incelemesi, Türki-ye’nin AB ülkeleri karşısındaki durumu hakkında bilgi vermesi açısından çalışmanın önemli olduğu ifade edilebilir.

Abstract:
The article focuses on the role of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in shaping the balance of power in the Lesser Caucasus as a prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It argues that Russia implemented a “bait and bleed” strategy to discipline Armenia for its pro-Western agenda. In addition, it focuses on Turkey’s role as a supportive apparatus for Azerbaijan’s military efforts against Armenia, evaluating the connection established between Moscow and Ankara. The Nagorno-Karabakh case marked a new manipulative Russian strategy to influence the balance of power in regions with geostrategic significance for the Kremlin.

176. Breaking the Stalemate in the Study of the Relationship of Mutual Military Buildups, Arms Races, and Militarized Disputes: The Greece-Turkey/Ottoman Empire Cases

Abstract:
The most recent surveys on the study of the connection between mutual military buildups, arms races, and military interstate disputes (MID) warn of research projects, especially in the case of the Greece-Turkey dyad, that have reached a stalemate. This is due to the difficulty of capturing motivations, which constitute the main variable that turns mutual military buildups into arms races. Using the Greece-Ottoman Empire and Greece-Turkey dyads as proof-of-concept cases, we advance a novel approach for analyzing the interrelation between mutual military buildups, arms races, and MIDs that can overcome that stalemate. We suggest a two-stage approach that focuses on the dyad as a unit of analysis. In the first stage, which we preset here, we use rivalry to divide dyad history into periods of differing subsistence military spending. We then locate periods of mutual military buildups in the different rivalry periods of a dyad history. We argue that this process provides a more nuanced and detailed grasp on the presence of mutual military buildups in a dyad. It also provides the foundation for the future second stage of analysis, where qualitative research can focus on the specific periods of mutual military buildups to unearth indicators of motivation.

Abstract:
The end of the Cold War brought about new challenges and opportunities for Turkey in redesigning its foreign policy. The independence of the Central Asian countries, with which Turkey shares common cultural, historical, and linguistic features, prompted Turkey to rapidly adapt to the new environment in the post-Cold War world order. After three decades, Turkey’s engagement with the Central Asian republics has gradually increased and reached a level at which Turkey is capable of effectively combining its soft and hard power capabilities within regional parameters. This article critically analyzes 30 years of Turkish foreign policy in Central Asia with a focus on its regionalism and soft power elements. We argue that Central Asia has provided a unique opportunity for Turkey to reshape its foreign policy on regional terms by utilizing its soft power resources for the first time, the experience later serving as a model for other regions. and its now hegemonic position in Lebanese politics.

Abstract:
In this paper, we adopt Walter Carlsnaes’ tripartite approach in order to scrutinize the consistency of Türkiye’s climate policy with changing climate regimes. We explain the actor-structure duality in climate policy through the interaction of climate regimes and Türkiye's climate policy. The paper reveals the causality behind the policies implemented by Türkiye as a result of its core values and preferences, and explains their continuities. Finally, we address the potential of the European Green Deal to influence Türkiye's preferences, and therefore its climate policy.

Abstract:
The International Relations (IR) discipline is ascendant because of the theoretical and methodological divisions and controversies within. As it is mostly placed in the Non-Western IR category, Turkish IR is an interesting case in that it reveals the temporal changes of theoretical debates in IR and their local resonance from the purview of a geography that is jammed between the West and the rest. For this reason, this paper examines the literature on the Turkish School of IR (if there is any) and draws some conclusions regarding its current state. This research first utilizes the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) surveys conducted by the International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) between 2007 and 2018. More extensively, the top 20 journals categorized under Google Scholar’s “Diplomacy and International Relations” list are coded based on their titles containing “Turkey.” Articles from the 1922–2021 period are then analyzed considering their authors, abstracts, and keywords. From this analysis, the study finds that studies focusing on Turkey have improved over the years, although there is a need for more theoretical and methodological advancements. As a “peripheral” country in IR, Turkey is still a subject of study by the “center” countries.

Abstract:
International Relations (IR) in Turkey has been assessed by scholars on topics, including but not limited to the need to increase contributions from Turkish IR scholars to theoretical discussions, the need for homegrown theorizing, and to improve the methodological quality of IR research originating in Turkey. This literature has revolved around the diagnosis of and prescriptions for what is referred to as the ‘disciplinary underachievement’ of IR in Turkey. Recently, an increasing number of scholars have focused on disciplinary self-reflection discussing the limitations and prospects in the state of the IR discipline in Turkey. Adding to this emergent literature, this paper identifies the reasons for the ‘disciplinary underachievement’ in Turkish IR. The paper discusses the conditions that hamper IR education in Turkey under three groups: 1) the structure and content of undergraduate and graduate curricula, 2) the state of IR as an academic discipline in Turkey, and 3) the state of IR literature in Turkish. The paper also offers suggestions for a prospective treatment to improve the state of the IR discipline and pedagogy in Turkey. It argues that an improvement in the quality of IR education has significant potential to contribute to further inclusion of locally produced IR knowledge into ‘global IR,’ which is widely cited in the existing literature as a significant sign of ‘disciplinary progress.
