Disciplinary Divides and Convergences: A Comparative Look at International Relations Scholarship in Turkey and the US
This article utilizes data from the 2022–2023 Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) survey, which features a sample of 176 scholars in Turkey and 979 in the US, to explore how IR scholars in both countries conceptualize their disciplinary identity, select research methods, engage with policy, and navigate academic recognition. Framed by how scholars in semiperipheral contexts relate to disciplinary cores, the study investigates whet…

It argues that household debt is a political tool with positive and negative consequences for incumbent governments.

Turkish Foreign Policy in the Chaos of War, 1939-1945
The World War II marked an important watershed for Turkey’s foreign policy. It caught Turkey in the middle of a nation and state-building processes as well as still recovering from the damages of the previous war. Thus when the war started, its main concern was to survive it without damage to its territorial integrity. To ensure this, Turkey signed non-aggression agreements with all the major powers and tried to steer a course between the clashin…
İnsanlığın Çözüp Bitirilemeyen Sorunu: Amaçsal ve Araçsal Akıl (Akıl ve Zekâ İkilemi)
İlk sayısını Haziran 2011'de çıkaran İnsan & Toplum Dergisi, yılda iki kez yayımlanan, hem Türkçe hem de İngilizce yazılara yer veren hakemli bir dergidir. İnsan & Toplum, akademik yayın dünyasında görülen iki temel eksikliği duyumsayarak yola çıktı. Bunlardan biri, kendi disipliner sınırlarına hapsolmuş akademyanın insan ve toplumu birbirinden izole ederek ayrıştırarak çalışma yapmasının bir teamül haline gelmiş olmasıdır. İkincisi de, disiplinl…
Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı Esnasındaki Rumeli Göçünün Meclis-i Mebusan’a Yansımaları ve Yapılan Yardımlar
Bu makale 1876’da Kanun-ı Esasi’nin ilan edilmesini müteakip açılan Meclis-i Mebusan’da yer alan mebusların 1877-78 Osmanlı-Rus Harbi esnasında İstanbul’a yapılan göçü ve muhacirlerin durumunu ne şekilde gördüklerini inceler. Meclisin açıldığı 19 Mart 1877’den tatil edildiği 14 Şubat 1878’e kadar geçen sürede göçmenlerle ilgili olarak yapılan görüşmeler Osmanlı sosyal ve siyasi düşünüş tarzına ışık tutmaktadır.

The sample comprised 52.3% female students and 47.7% male students. According to the results of the present study, the Concrete Experience and Reflective Observation learning preferences generally exhibit a negative correlation with the motivated str…
Turkish Policy towards the Wider Black Sea and the EU Connection
The Black Sea has been on the global agenda since the end of the Cold War; and Turkey has appeared as a rising regional power in the region. Turkey's policies in the Black Sea have aimed at the creation of region-wide multilateral cooperation schemes. Starting with the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization, it initiated several institutions with varying degrees of success. In addition to creating a stable environment, conducive to increased…
Inside/Outside: Turkey’s Security Dilemmas and Priorities in the Early 21st Century
A 2020 vision for the Black Sea region: The Commission on the Black Sea proposes
The Black Sea region is coming into its own although it is at times a contested and dangerous neighbourhood. Despite heightened interest in the region, its real priorities and needs are still being largely ignored by insiders and outsiders alike. What is needed are regional solutions for regional problems. The authors present the key findings and recommendations of the Commission on the Black Sea, a civil society initiative comprising a number of…
Civilizational futures: Clashes or alternative visions in the age of globalization
Geographical blessing versus geopolitical curse: Great power security agendas for the Black Sea region and a Turkish alternative
The Black Sea has been a site of contention and confrontation for centuries, though changes since the end of the Cold War allowed for the emergence of a cooperative environment. Due to its strategic location in the middle of Eurasia, controlling the region represents a unique geopolitical interest. This uniqueness at times turns into threats for regional and international peace and stability; thus its fortuitous location can become a curse. This …
Reconstructing Turkish-American relations: Divergences versus convergences
The Turkish-American relationship experienced the most difficult period of its history after the refusal of the Turkish Parliament on 1 March 2003 to allow US troops to open a northern front to Iraq from Turkish territory. By the time a new administration took power in Washington in early 2009, the badly damaged relationship had recovered somewhat and recently has even taken a positive turn. Although the parameters of the recovered relationship a…

Europe’s new region: The Black Sea in the wider Europe neighbourhood
Situated at the crossroads between Europe and Asia as well as Russia and the Middle East, the Black Sea is more than a region of local strategic significance, representing an axis of increasing geo‐political importance to the European Union. With its mosaic of problems, the wider Black Sea region is one of the more important challenges that the enlarged EU will face. Once Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey become members, the EU will directly border th…
Foucault's Pendulum: Turkey in Central Asia and the Caucasus1
The emergence of eight independent states in Central Asia and the Caucasus after the end of the Cold War presented challenges to Turkey, while enlarging its role in the world. The collapse of the Soviet Union removed the century‐old Soviet/Russian threat to Turkey's security, while at the same time created a potentially risky power vacuum on Turkey's borders and threats to regional security. In this environment, Turkey is considered an important …
Securitization of History and Geography: Understanding of Security in Turkey
Although Turkey possesses the second biggest army in NATO, it lives in a perennial 'insecurity complex'. It is a securitized country where 'security', in its wider definition, reigns supreme in societal and political development, and overrides most other considerations. In a sense, both the Republic of Turkey and Turkish society are historical creations of a very wide definition of security, which evolved from and is affected by historical experi…
Crypto-optimism in Turkish-Greek relations. What is next
Turkish–Greek problems are not new. They are well delineated and have remained dormant until very recently when the EU Helsinki summit in 1999 took a decision to accept Turkey’s candidature, accompanied by lifting of the Greek veto on Turkish membership aspirations and veiled Turkish acceptance of the Union’s relations with Cyprus. Since then, we have witnessed more twists in the ‘long standing-easy to predict’ Greek–Turkish relations than we had…

I looked elsewhere at the structural determinants of Turkish foreign policy,' which included the factors that have traditionally influenced and shaped the foreign policy of Turkey from imperial times, through the inter-war years with Ataturk, to the present-day Republic. Thanks to these structural determinants and their strong influence upon Turkey, it has been able to display a remarkable degree of continuity in its foreign policy, in contrast t…
