Police Code of Silence in Times of Change
This book explores the contours of the code of silence and provides policy recommendations geared toward creating an environment less conducive for police misconduct. It responds to the recent calls for police reform, in the wake of the perceived illegitimacy of police actions and the protection that the code of silence seems to provide to the police officers who violate the official rules.Using a case study of a medium-sized U.S. police agency, this book employs the lens of police integrity theory to provide empirically grounded explanations of the code of silence. It examines the potential effects of organizational factors and the attitudes of individual police officers on their willingnes...

Multiple Streams and Policy Ambiguity
The last decade has seen a proliferation of research bolstering the theoretical and methodological rigor of the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), one of the most prolific theories of agenda-setting and policy change. This Element sets out to address some of the most prominent criticisms of the theory, including the lack of empirical research and the inconsistent operationalization of key concepts, by developing the first comprehensive guide for conducting MSF research. It begins by introducing the MSF, including key theoretical constructs and hypotheses. It then presents the most important theoretical extensions of the framework and articulates a series of best practices for operationalizing, measuring, and analyzing MSF concepts. It closes by exploring existing gaps in MSF research and articulating fruitful areas of future research.
Policing Across Borders
Globalization has had a sharp impact on the definition of ‘national security,’ as the interconnectedness of many threats calls for them to be addressed at the national and global level simultaneously. Law enforcement efforts must increasingly include elements of international and transnational communication and cooperation. Police forces in different countries must find common ways to share data and track international crime trends. This timely work analyzes key challenges confronting the law enforcement community, with regards to international crime, particularly illegal trafficking and terrorism. The contributions in this volume are the result of a series of workshops that brought together international law enforcement officials, researchers, and representatives from intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), to examine the need for international police cooperation, the specific challenges this presents, and to propose solutions. This work will be of interest to researchers in law enforcement, criminal justice, crime prevention, and international relations.
Secularism and Muslim Democracy in Turkey
In 2002 the Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) swept to power in Turkey. Since then it has shied away from a hard-line ideological stance in favour of a more conservative and democratic approach. In this book, M. Hakan Yavuz negotiates this ambivalence asking whether it is possible for a political party with a deeply religious ideology to liberalise and entertain democracy or whether, as he contends, radical religious groups moderate their practices and ideologies when forced to negotiate a competitive and rule-based political system. The author explores the thesis through an analysis of the rise and evolution of the AKP and its more recent 2007 election victory. The book, which tackles a number of important issues including political participation, economics and internal security, provides a masterful survey of modern Turkish and Islamic politics, which will be of interest to a broad range of readers from students to professionals and policymakers.

Şehit Enver Paşa
Osmanlı'nın çöküşü de kuruluşu gibi bir destandır. Çöküşün kahramanları olan neslin bayraktarı Enver Paşa'dır.

Büyük düşünmek, büyük rüyalar görmek büyük zamanların görüntüleridir. Oysa bunlar çöküyorlardı ve çöke...
Akdeniz Işıkları
"Çocukluğumun belki en garip hâtırası, bu seyahatin sonucudur. Teşrinievvele (Ekim 1916) doğru Antalya’ya doğru gelirken, denizi ilk gördüğümüz yerde, ailece her zaman yaptığımız gibi, arabadan inmiştik. Ben sevincimi göstermek için havaya bir el revolver sıktım. Annemin ölümünü bir türlü unutamayan ve yıllarca bize yanında gülmeyi meneden babam, beni tokatladı. Hakkı da vardı. Ben gerçekten, bu yolculukta gördüklerimin, duyduklarımın hepsini, Akdeniz iklimini, denizi görmüştüm…" -Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Antalya’nın öteki adıdır Adalya. Torosların arka yüzüdür. Bir nal gibi ana kıtaya yerleşen şehrin, Akdeniz ile aşkıdır adeta. Akd...
