The Pandemic and Entities in South Caucasus
(Springer Nature, 2023) Ekinci, D.
The Covid-19 pandemic thoroughly tested all major and minor actors in the world as of March 2020. However, the post-Soviet entities suffered more due to underlying inadequacies and limited recognition. In such a framework, this chapter aims at exploring the background conditions in healthcare, geopolitics, and economy that exacerbated the difficulties during the pandemic, with a focus on Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Karabakh. It holds that the background conditions exacerbated the plight of the entities throughout the contagion, the long-term effects of which are yet to be fully understood. In such a context, it first provides a relevant account of the three realms in the pre-1991 period, to be followed by one on the pandemic period in the entities. The final analysis affirms the need for future capacity development. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

Turkish Decision-Making and the Balkans: Implications of Role Theory
(Peter Lang AG, 2015) Ekinci, D.
The once-and-for-all change in the end of 1980s brought with it new states in the Balkans, which propelled renewed Turkish policy formulation vis-à-vis the region. The post-Cold War timeline of Turkish-Balkan relations demonstrated foreign-policy attitudes taking shape differently compared to Cold War period due to mutually evolving role identifications and role prescriptions of actors, on which the conceptual baggage of role theory offers a germane framework for enquiry. Changes in role conceptions in Turkey's Balkan relations after 1990 were neither limitless nor thoroughly radical. Relations with the region were undisputedly taken further after the Cold War, and yet remained low-key compared to relations with other neighbouring regions. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Frankfurt am Main 2015.
