Article Americanization of Political Campaigns: a Comparison of the Cases of Forza Italia and the Young Party(Turkiye Orta Dogu Amme Idaresi Enstitusu, 2010) Turk, Hasan Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerSimilar to political institutions and structures, political campaigns have also undergone dramatic transformations. The Americanization of political campaigns, which are characterized by certain peculiarities, such as the personalization of politics, weakening of party organizations, wide use of media channels in the political marketing process, need for specialization, primacy of opinions over ideologies and conceptualization of citizens as policy consumers, is a by-product of these dramatic transformations. This paper aims to compare Forza Italia and the Young Party through the Americanization of political campaigns with special emphasis on the connection between the transformation of political campaigns and the crisis of representative democracy.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Reading the Emergence of Turkish Nation-State Through the Concept of Habitus(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2011) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThis study aims to investigate the emergence of the nation-state in Turkey and read this process through Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias' concept of habitus. In so doing, first of all, the concept of habitus will be explored. The debates concerning the process of the emergence of the nation-state in Turkey and whether the concept of habitus is fruitful will also be discussed. This study underlines the theoretical opportunities of the concept of habitus, particularly, from the angle of the debates concerning the emergence of the Turkish nation-state and Turkish nationalism. On this axis, this study shows that there is a clear link between Turkish nation-state formation and the Turkish national habitus.Article The Problem of Checking The Political Power in The Tradition of Siyasat-Nama: The Case of Nushatu's-selatin(Turkiye Orta Dogu Amme Idaresi Enstitusu, 2017) Turk, Hasan Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThe problem of how to be able to check the political power lies at the very heart of the historical debates over politics. This problem is part and parcel of another vital political problem that can be best described as the necessity of setting limits to the power of rulers. Accordingly, one might argue that checking the political power and setting limits to it are not basically and simply the same thing. This paper, moving from this assumption, attempts to shed some light upon the problem of checking the political power through the lenses of an Ottoman bureaucrat of the sixteenth century, namely, Mustafa Ali of Gallipoli. In so doing, the paper focuses on a text written by Mustafa Ali in 1581. The major argument of this paper is that Mustafa Ali's text, Nushatu'sSelatin (Advices to Sultans), which is an example of Siyasat-nama genre of books, deals with the problem of checking the political power with a particular emphasis upon three certain principles: Justice, fear of God and merit.Book Part The Sea That Binds Us: The Eu's Problematic Normative Capacity and The Union for The Mediterranean(I B Tauris & Co Ltd, 2014) Atac, C. Akca; Ataç, Cemile Akça; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Rethinking the Relationship Between Leader and Mass Through Political Theology(Ankara Haci Bayram veli Univ, 2019) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThis study aims to analyze the relationship between leader and mass through political theology. In so doing, the study is structured into two major sections. The first section focuses on the concept of political theology. The second section discusses the relationship between mass and leader from a historical perspective and with reference to political theory. The study argues that rethinking the relationship between mass and leader through political theology provides an opportunity to make sense of the nature of this relationship.Book Part South Caucasus and Covid-19: Vulnerabilities, Setbacks, Responses(Taylor and Francis, 2023) Ekinci, F.D.This chapter discusses the impact and implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in the South Caucasus. In the framework of the main argument that multiple regional vulnerabilities and setbacks in healthcare systems and economic capacity inherited from the Soviet era shaped the response capacity of the regional actors with the outbreak of the pandemic, it first provides an account of the pre-pandemic background conditions in these spheres in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, going back to the Soviet period. It then explores the post-1991 and pandemic period conditions in respect of the same actors in the same spheres, maintaining that the pandemic exacerbated the earlier vulnerabilities and led to limited responses. The final analysis affirms the findings and offers some recommendations for the future. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Erman Akilli, Burak Güneş and Ahmet Gökbel.Article Is there a J-curve effect in Turkish services?(Springer, 2010) Yazıcı, MehmetThis paper explores the existence of the J-curve effect in Turkish services. The model of Bahmani-Oskooee (Rev Econ Stat 67:500-504, 1985), one of the most commonly employed model in the j-curve literature, is adopted. Using quarterly data from 1986: I to 1998: III, we find that, as a result of real depreciation of Turkish currency, YTL, services trade balance initially improves, then worsens and improves again in the short run. This is a pattern indicating that J-curve effect does not exist in Turkish services sector. We also find that depreciation of Turkish Lira improves the trade balance of the sector in the long run, a result consistent with earlier findings for the whole Turkish economy.Book Part Friendship, Leadership and Hegemonic Masculinity: an Interpersonal Relationship Between Turkey and Russia(Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) Ataç, C.A.Since the Russian intervention in the Syrian crisis and Turkey’s subsequent downing of a Russian jet within the Syrian border in 2015, Russia has become a decisive actor influencing the course of Turkish foreign policy in a way reminding of the troublesome times of the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire. The increasing influence of Moscow in the decision-making priorities of Ankara has resulted in Turkey’s purchase of S-400, the Russian missile system, which is incompatible with and rival to the NATO infrastructure. President Erdoğan, together with his regional and global counterparts, seeks leadership through friendship in his foreign-policy vision under the AKP rule and emphasizes his interpersonal relations with the world leaders while resolving the conflicts that Turkey involves in. In that respect, the Turkish-Russian relations revolve around the bilateral meetings between Erdoğan and Putin and the S-400 crisis seems to be handling on the friendship level. Against this background, however, one could argue that the recent Turkish-Russian relations unfold along a domination-subordination axis, which is linked to the larger debate on the hegemonic masculinity rather than friendship. This chapter seeks to assess the Turkish-Russian relations with a particular emphasis on the S-400 crisis, from the perspectives of friendship, leadership and hegemonic masculinity. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3A Feminist Reading of Turkish Foreign Policy and the S-400 Crisis(Sage Publications inc, 2021) Akca Atac, C.Hypermasculine hegemonic masculinities have become the norm to dominate the foreign policies all around the world. As the populist foreign-policy visions, the byproducts of androcentric norm-creation, undermine the established rules for peace, diplomacy and co-existence in the international system, other experiences have faded away from the narratives that have defined and contributed to foreign policies. The accelerating urgency of the national security agendas of the hypermasculine states seek to cancel feminist definitions, practices and theories for the sake of physical force and state control. Nevertheless, more than any other period in history, it is these conflicting times that necessitate Cynthia Enloe's 'curious feminist' questions the most. Turkish foreign policy of the last decade has become a quintessential example of hypermasculine hegemonic masculinity, especially within the context of the S-400 crisis with the US, NATO and Russia; its feminist critics are distressingly rare. This paper aims to offer an alternative reading of Turkey's S-400 saga from a feminist perspective to contribute a Turkish case to feminist International Relations. First a definition of feminist International Relations will be provided. Then, the hypermasculine character of the Turkish hegemonic masculinity and its reflection on the current Turkish foreign policy will be analyzed. Lastly, the S-400 crisis of Turkey's decision to buy Russian defense missiles as a NATO member will be examined.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Russia-Turkey Relations (1991-2016): Diverging Interests and Compelling Realities(Springer International Publishing, 2017) Ekinci, D.
