The papers in this volume cover a wide range topics related to theme of the conference, titled as “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and reflect the different perspectives of economics. The studies are mainly about economics and econometrics and can be classified under the sections of Political Economy, Globalisation, International Economics and Foreign Trade and lastly Economic Growth and Development Economics. Both empirical and theoretical papers are presented in this volume in order to discuss and analyze current debates on economics. We believe that these papers would contribute to the researchers, experts and academicians in a way to improve their interests and field of study.
Composed of two parts, this book involved research on gender in the first part while the second part focused on research on culture.

Anthropology has also aimed at evaluating social problems with anthropological data, perspectives, theories, and techniques at the societial level and aiming to produce, evaluate, and solve social problems.

This book is an entryway to start looking at the old practices and rethink of them for the fast approaching future.

Nowadays an educational project as a scientific activity is considered to be more meaningful as long as it serves cognitive purposes. The scholars who are expected to be aware of the fact that they are living in the age of cognition, communication and computer, do not only deal with current educational problems but also have to try reconstructing and ...
The concept of globalisation is essentially about the increasing economic, political, cultural and technological intergradation with increasing speed, depth and breadth. Globalisation has become a buzz word in many academic debates, espe- cially, amongst those who use the concept to describe the spread of global capi- talism, market, the declining role of the state, and globalisation of civil society. (Harvey, 2005; Harmon, 2009; Chomsky 1999; Saad-Filho and Johnston 2004). In short, Harvey defines neoliberalism as: . . . a theory of political, economic practices that proposes that human well-be- ing can best be advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms and skills within an ...

The articles in this book focus on some areas where classical sociology usually leaves out. In this respect, it is placed in a channel determined by critical sociological approach. This channel is an area where thousands of different forms of sociality and acquisitions are collected (relations, tensions, reflections, conflicts, compromises, change, transformation, etc.). The sociology of everyday life is also discusses, understands and explains the area of socialites that remain in this area. It must be noted that the sociology of everyday life not only reveals the place of individuals within the community, but also the place of sociality in "society". The sociological articles of the book in your hand are an example of this approach and initiative. In this book you will find two philosophical articles dealing with sociological articles from a more theoretical ground. In the modern world we will see that the current philosophy is not as archaic as it might seem, but in fact it has important potentials to understand this reified world.
