Syria's bloody civil war has plunged the cradle of the Levant into a painful spiral of violence. This spiral of violence has caused profound social, political, economic, and strategic changes in Syria. But the effects of the civil war are not limited to Syria. The civil war in Syria has become a direct problem not only for Syria but also for Türkiye, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan. However, most observers agree that of all Syria's neighbors, Türkiye has been the most affected by the civil war. When one thinks of Türkiye and Syria together in recent years, two concepts come to mind most often: Military operations and migration. However, conflicts in Syria have been perceived in a broader securi...
Kurds and their Struggle for Autonomy: Enduring Identity and Clientelism is a comprehensive study of the roots of Kurdish identity, the processes of identity formation among the Kurds, and the Kurds’ seemingly never-ending struggle for self-determination. By relying on a hybrid theoretical model of identity politics, this book offers a thorough treatment of the origins, characteristics, and evolution of Kurdish culture in general, and political culture in particular. It also examines the historical explanations and nuances of Kurdish struggles for some form of autonomy, assesses economic imperatives that shape the potentials and challenges of Kurdish social and political life, and offers a critical review of the contemporary Kurdish institutional and policy dynamics in Iraq and Syria.
This collection highlights six main aspects of global issues in business and organization studies, including the digital side of governmental processes. It also explores wellbeing at work through the development of a questionnaire as an alternative to the impractical wellbeing model. In addition, the volume analyzes the organizational behavior of ISIS and offers insights into secrecy by analyzing several scenes from John Grisham’s The Firm. The collection then considers marketing innovations in the context of global markets and presents sustainability in the global food industry. The volume serves to demonstrate a number of factors that can have an effect on organization processes and business operations.
Social Media and Democratization in Iraqi Kurdistan assesses the implications of social media usage for democratization in the context of Iraqi Kurdistan. A considerable number of studies examine the impact of social media on the practice of democracy in liberal democratic contexts and on the democratization process in nondemocratic contexts. However, little is known about the rise and implications of using the Internet and social media platforms for democratization processes in a hybrid political system, like that of Iraqi Kurdistan, which combines elements of both democracy and authoritarianism. The author investigates the use of social media platforms by citizens, politicians, electoral c...

Throughout the program of the Migration Conference you will find various key thematic areas covered in over 300 presentations by about 500 contributors coming from all around the world, from Australia to Canada, China to Ecuador, Brazil to Japan, and South Africa to Norway. We are proud to bring together experts from universities, independent research organisations, governments, NGOs and the media.
Turkey's enthusiastic embrace of the Arab Spring set in motion a dynamic that fundamentally altered its relations with the United States, Russia, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran, and transformed Turkey from a soft power to a hard power in the tangled geopolitics of the Middle East. Birol Başkan and Ömer Taşpınar argue that the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) Islamist background played a significant role in the country's decision to embrace the uprisings and the subsequent foreign policy direction the country has pursued. They demonstrate that religious ideology is endogenous to—shaping and in turn being shaped by—Turkey's various engagements in the Middle East. The Nation or the Ummah emphasizes that while Islamist religious ideology does not provide specific policy prescriptions, it does shape the way the ruling elite sees and interprets the context and the structural boundaries they operate within.
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kurulduğundan bu yana Cumhuriyet’e yönelik isyan, ayaklanma ve terörizm tehdidi devam etmektedir. Genç Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında daha çok ayaklanma ve isyan şeklinde ete kemiğe bürünen ayrılıkçı ve laiklik karşıtı tehdit, zaman içinde biçim değiştirmiştir. Türkiye; etnik, ayrılıkçı, ideolojik, radikal din motifli olmak üzere neredeyse bilinen tüm terörizm türlerine maruz kalmıştır. Bu tehdide karşılık Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, on yıllardır terörizmle mücadele etmek için her türlü çabayı sarf etmektir. Güvenlik güçleri ve devletin diğer ilgili tüm kurumları, güvenliğin sağlanması için üzerlerine düşenleri yap...
This is a compilation of the abstracts of papers presented at the Migration Conference 2021. Please visit migrationconference.net for more details.
This book is based on papers presented at the conference. However, it is not a typical publication of academic conference proceedings because the topics are not completely congruent with those of the conference. Some lectures that could not be held due to travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic were submitted as book contributions. In addition, I also wrote a short contribution on the Jewish history of the region, which has been often neglected in previous presentations of the region. The various authors for this volume have been intensively involved with the region in recent years. However, the authors do not only focus on the situation on the ground, but also on the interna...
Kitabın bir benzeri yok. Akademisyen Nevin Yazıcı tarafından açık kaynaklardan sabırla ve itinayla gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, Genelkurmay Başkanlığı ve Hakkâri’deki askeri birliklerin 1984’ten günümüze kadar uzanan mücadelesinin bir güncesi niteliğinde. Bu çalışma aynı zamanda terörle mücadele sırasında şehit olan vatan evlatlarının aziz anısı adına yerine getirilmiş bir görev niteliği de taşıyor. Çünkü bu kitap Hakkâri’de şehit olan tüm asker, polis ve köy korucularının nerede ve nasıl şehit olduğunu kaydetmekte, toprağın nasıl kanla vatan yapıldığının yüzlerce acı hikâyesini vermektedir. Yine bu kitapta, Türkiye’nin PKK ile mücadelesinin aşamalarını ve PKK terör eylemlerinin hangi süreçlerden geçtiğini bulacaksınız. Üzüleceksiniz, şehit kanları kurumadan terör örgütüyle yapılan pazarlıklar sonucu Hakkâri özelinde ülkenin adım adım nasıl terör örgütünün inisiyatifine terk edildiğini ibretle okuyacaksınız.
