Development and Validation of AI Acceptance Scale (AI-AS) for Learners in Higher Education
Artificial Intelligence Supported Online Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education: A Systematic Review With SWOT Analysis
Artificial intelligence-supported online assessment and evaluation (AI-SOAE) systems have the potential to transform assessment and evaluation processes in higher education; however, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of the pedagogical, technical, and ethical dimensions of these systems. In this regard, the study systematically examined the characteristics of AI-SOAE systems within the framework of a SWOT analysis. A systematic liter…
Examining the relationships between artificial intelligence literacy, AI-TPACK, job satisfaction, and well-being among teachers through structural equation modeling
This study explores the relationships between teachers' artificial intelligence literacy (AIL), AI-TPACK competencies, job satisfaction, and well-being. Survey data from 350 in-service teachers were analyzed using PLS-SEM to examine how AI-related competencies are associated with professional and psychological outcomes. The findings reveal that AIL strongly predicts AI-specific knowledge, especially AI-TCK, AI-TK, AI-TPCK, and AI-TPK, with a mode…
Who Drives the Security Narrative in US Trade Policy
Appeals to national security play a central role in contemporary US trade politics. Who drives this security narrative and why? We argue that executive branch actors, regardless of political party affiliation, are more likely to frame trade policy in national-security terms. In Congress, however, we expect Republicans to rely more heavily than Democrats on a national-security narrative. We tested these expectations through a systematic analysis o…

Good Tune Theory: An Exploration of LGBTQIA + Peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Good tune theory (GTT) is introduced in this article to advocate for the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH) ongoing peacebuilding efforts. GTT emerged from queer research conducted in 2022 and from the experiences and activism of 43 LGBTQIA+ people currently living in Bosnia, particularly in the post‐peace accord context. Primarily, GTT argues that achieving true peace requires constant resistance against dominant syst…
Investigating the relationship between social presence and transactional distance in online distance learning environments through structural equation modeling analysis
While digitalization has increased flexibility in online distance learning, it has also brought challenges such as emotional strain, interactional issues, and social isolation. In this context, students’ sense of social “presence” is vital for sustaining their well-being and ensuring high-quality interaction. Grounded in Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) and the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, this study modeled the relationships between …

Opposition to Government and Back: How Illiberal Parties Shape Immigration Discourse and Party Competition
In recent decades, illiberal far-right parties have seen electoral success, reshaped European politics, challenged established norms, and accelerated shifts in political discourse. Thought to be isolated by a cordon sanitaire , these parties are increasingly normalized, gaining footholds in parliament and government—from coalition participation in Austria to majority rule in Hungary. As illiberal far-right parties gain access to power, a pressing…
Crises and Ideological Change in Authoritarian Regimes: Evidence From the July 2016 Coup Attempt in Turkey
In this study, I investigate how crises affect the ideological claims of authoritarian regimes. While existing studies emphasize the significance of ideological legitimation claims for the consolidation of authoritarian regimes, they do not examine whether the intensity and usage of these claims change after a crisis. I address this gap by utilizing the competitive authoritarian regime of Turkey before and after the July 2016 coup attempt. I use …
All I Want is to Leave, but When I Do, I Never Truly Leave: Queering Reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Peace accords do not necessarily bring about sustainable peace if continued dialogues are not maintained in post-peace accord societies. Certain communities still face more obstacles in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia throughout), and some volatile circumstances bring uncertainties for people, even after accords, such as the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA), are signed. Although many studies have investigated reconciliation and prevailing interethnic …
Trabzon İç Kale’de (Yukarı Hisar) Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Devri’nde Yapılan Sur Duvarı Onarımları Hakkında Bazı Tespitler
Bir suriçi kent olarak tarihi Trabzon; Aşağı Hisar, Orta Hisar ve Yukarı Hisar (İç Kale/Kule Hisar) olmak üzere üç ayrı bölümden oluşur. Bu üç bölüm içinde hiç şüphesiz stratejik açıdan en önemli yer Yukarı Hisar ya da diğer adıyla İç Kale’dir. Zira şehrin Helenistik, Roma, Bizans, Komnenos ve Osmanlı Dönemlerindeki idare merkezi ve saray teşkilatı burada bulunuyordu.

Migrant Justice Research in Crisis Times: Developing Reflexive, Ethical, and Responsive Pandemic Research with Immigrant Care Workers
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) typically prioritizes community needs in the research process, attempting to link ethical and rigorous investigation with social action. However, balancing community needs and research goals can be challenging when working with marginalized communities in times of crisis. Strategies for engaging immigrant communities in CBPR is also underexplored in academic literature. This paper examines some of the…

The unexpected victory of the opposition Republican People's Party in Turkey's March 31 municipal elections raises intriguing questions about the future of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after more than two decades of his rule. Just 10 months after Erdoğan won a new term, a significant portion of the electorate voted against him and his Justice and Development Party, marking his largest defeat ever.

A Torn Country: Erdoğan's Turkey And the Elections of 2023
This article examines the victory of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey's 2023 presidential election, the role of fear‐oriented populist nationalism in Turkish politics, and the implications of the results for society. It argues that Turkey faces a deep moral and social crisis rather than a mere political problem. The article explores the sociocultural origins of polarization, as competing communities with few shared values contribute to divisions. I…

Political Islam and the Welfare (Refah) Party in Turkey
The municipal elections of March 27, 1994, the national elections of December 24, 1995, and the local elections of June 2, 1996, in which the Welfare Party (WP) took 33.5 percent of the votes in forty-one districts, have constituted a series of seismic events in the Turkish political landscape.

Is there a Turkish Islam? The emergence of convergence and consensus
This paper attempts to demonstrate that it is not only the universal principles of Islam that ground our everyday actions, but also the practical and immediate issues which we confront. Although Islam provides a universal set of principles to make life meaningful, I shall argue that these principles are vernacularized and localized in specific narratives. By offering seven diverse zones of Islam, I seek to bring this critical and dynamic distance…
The motives behind the AKP’s foreign policy: Neo-Ottomanism and strategic autonomy
This paper examines the role of ideas and identities in the making of the AKP’s foreign policy in Turkey. After briefly examining the institutional and international constraints on Turkish foreign policy before 2002, the discussion turns to the driving factors in three evolutionary stages of AKP’s foreign policy. It becomes apparent that a neo-Ottoman worldview and accompanying identity constitute the interpretive framework of the AKP’s political…
Social and Intellectual Origins of Neo-Ottomanism: Searching for a Post-National Vision
This article will unpack the intellectual and sociopolitical conditions under which the idea of neo-Ottomanism was formulated, by focusing on the following questions: What is neo-Ottomanism, who constructed the term, and for what purpose? What aspects of the Ottoman legacy have been incorporated in the 'self' definition of a new Turkey? Is this shift temporary or rooted in a more far-reaching transformation of Turkish society that will shape futu…
Turkish-Israeli Relations Through the Lens of the Turkish Identity Debate
This article explores Israeli-Turkish relations within the context of the deepening polarization between Turkey's secular elite and the religiously oriented segments of society. Examining the causes and political context of the alliance, the author argues that the deepening ties are at least partly a function of the sense of beleaguerment of the Turkish military, guardians of Kemalist orthodoxy, in the face of domestic challenges to its homogeniz…
A Framework for Understanding the Intra-Islamist Conflict Between the AK Party and the Gülen Movement
This article examines the circumstances shaping the evolution of the Gülen movement. Once considered a relatively liberal and pluralistic Islamic movement based in Turkey, the movement later succumbed to authoritarianism and illiberalism following its political alliance with the AK Party and their subsequent falling out. The paper opens with a brief overview of the historical context of the relationship between state and society in the Ottoman Em…

The Second Karabakh War: Russia vs. Turkey
The Karabakh region and surrounding territories—occupied by Armenia for the last 26 years—represented a classic “frozen” ethno‐territorial conflict in the post‐Soviet world. The conflict erupted in September 2020, and Azerbaijan managed to liberate the occupied territories. This article examines the causes and consequences of the recent Karabakh war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. After summarizing the historical origins of the conflict, the arti…

Orientalism, the ‘Terrible Turk’ and Genocide
This article examines the connections between Orientalism and the construction of the stereotypic image, the ‘terrible Turk.’ It focuses on the major politically motivated texts that were produced during the First World War as war propaganda. These texts portrayed Turks as the enemy of civilization at a time when Britain and later the United States were at war with the Ottoman Empire, which unofficially was known as Turkey in the West. In the yea…

Turkey's Fault Lines and the Crisis of Kemalism
Kemalism has been superficially Western in form while remaining rigidly authoritarian and dogmatic in substance. It continues to stress republicanism over democracy, homogeneity over difference, the military over the civilian, and the state over society. ... Its quixotic quest to radically recast Turkish culture, history, and identity has ensured a permanent kulturkampf against society
The Kurdish Nation
The Kurdish question consists of the desire of most Kurds to have the cultural, linguistic, and political rights that will protect their Kurdish identity. Some Kurds also seek autonomy or even independence from the countries in which they live; those states, however, have long denied such aspirations. ... The result has been a constant instability that promises to intensify as the Kurds become more politically aware and as their cause grows more …

Islamic Political Identity in Turkey
In November of 2002, the Justice and Development Party swept to victory in the Turkish parliamentary elections. Because of the party’s Islamic roots, its electoral triumph has sparked a host of questions both in Turkey and in the West: Does the party harbor a secret Islamist agenda? Will the new government seek to overturn nearly a century of secularization stemming from Kemal Atatürk’s early-twentieth-century reforms? Most fundamentally, is Isla…
Bringing Turkey into Europe
While the goal of earning EU membership has been central to the recent push to implement significant political and legal reforms in Turkey, it still remains to be seen whether Turkey's Muslim heritage, large population, and economic underdevelopment will remain immovable obstacles to full membership. It is now clear that this is a decision that can no longer be indefinitely postponed by Brussels or Ankara
