As the outcome of the seventh international congress, the papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on finance and econometrics. Even though most of the papers deal with the empirical analysis on finance, there are also studies on econometrics analysis. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of finance and econometrics such as outlined banking sector studies, capital market analysis and case studies, the impact of the use of social media for financial purposes on financial literacy, discussion of the performance evaluation of Type A mutual funds in Turkey. The U-shape hypothesis validity in Turkey, validity of the hypothesis of unemployment hysteria in selected OECD countries. We believe that these studies would contribute to the development of debates in social sciences and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.

This book analyzes the factors that shape business activity in Republican Turkey and examines the presence of some of these factors in other societies with highly different cultures and histories. Bugra's premise is that neither the institutional framework nor the behavioral regularities of a market economy emerge spontaneously following principles of a universally rational behavior. Rather, these reflect societal characteristics to be shaped by policy measures that ensure the smooth functioning of the market mechanism. The author investigates the sociopolitical context of Turkish entrepreneurship by looking at the development of the private sector in the Republican period; policy process under successive Republican governments; socially defined features of the holding company, the typical big-business unit; and the nature of business associations in Turkey. Her analysis is relevant both to the study of business organization and to the study of structural change in late-industrializing countries and former socialist societies where the shortcomings of standard economic approaches are clear.

Thus, social science matters due to its canon of knowledge which empowers humans with tools to not just und...
The loss of the Balkans was not merely a physical but also a psychological disaster for the Ottoman Empire. This work charts the creation of the modern Turkish self-perception during the transition period from the late Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic.
İmparatorlukların doğuşu tarih-yazıcılığının çekici, fakat bir o kadar da gizemli ve zor konularından biri olagelmiştir. Bu zorluk, Batı'da önyargılarla dolu bir araştırma alanı olan “Osmanlı İmparatorluğu” söz konusu olunca daha da artmaktadır. Aşağılayıcı, şoven dürtüler tarih çalışmalarını nesnellikten uzaklaştırmakta, “barbar, kanlı, fanatik, cahil” gibi nitelemeler tarih-yazıcılığını daha baştan sakatlamaktadır. Tek yanlı, yüzeysel ve övgücü Türk tarih-yazıcılığı da aynı şekilde sakatlayıcı bir etkiye sahiptir. Peki, Namık Kemal'in “Cihângirâne bir devlet çıkardık bir aşiretten” diye özetlediği Osmanlı ...
