Authors:Rıdvan KOCAMAN; Umut KOÇ, Bayram Zafer ERDOĞAN Abstract: The concept of organizational field is at the central of Institutional Theory. Thus, the use of the concept has spread over a wide spectrum both theoretically and especially empirically. This brings along the need for a more cumulative approach to guide the future studies. Accordingly, within the context of this study, the literature involving the extant definitions, discussions and research related to the organizational field was examined. As a result, it is concluded that organizational fields can be classified into two groups as exchange fields and issue fields, together with their sub-types based on their distinctive features. In this way, it is thought to enable that different approaches about the fields will be examined with a more holistic perspective. PubDate: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Tekin AVANER; Borahan GÜNVER Abstract: In this study, the article “Deadly Sins in Public Administration” is discussed, which is written by Peter Drucker in 1980 who known as “father of modern administration” or “management guru”. Drucker, who has carried out researches and studies in feature of the prescription on both private and public organizations, has mentioned the six deadly sins through concrete examples, which are frequently committed in non-profit public service organizations. This study, on the other hand, is the outcome of an effort to analyze and correctly understand the six sins identified by Drucker in the context of public administration by his approach to public administration. This study includes works that admitted to basic in the literature of management science and various studies which belong Drucker in the field of public administration. As a result of the study, which was created by analyzing the qualitative data obtained, six deadly sins committed in public administration and the factors associated with these sins were put forward from Drucker's eyes. These determinations, which are still valid in the field of public administration, are handled with a scientific concern as well as Drucker's inferences and analyzes on public administration.

Authors:Şener ÇELİK Abstract: Throughout history, states have imposed sanctions against each other for political, legal, and moral reasons. In the post-Cold War period, sanctions began to take an important place in the agenda of the international community. During this period, the United States also implemented unilateral sanctions against certain states. In the post-September 11 era, new sanctions were become current issues under the Global Magnitsky Act (GMA) and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) for security or human rights reasons. However, the effect of the sanctions based on these acts has not been investigated in sufficient depth in the literature. This study has been carried out to find out how the fundamental rights and freedoms in Russia, China and Iran which are sanctioned under these acts for human rights violations are affected by these sanctions. The main finding of the research is that although the sanctions are effective in minor degree in Russia, there are major deteriorations in China and Iran, so, the sanctions do not achieve the intended success in preventing violations of rights.

Authors:İlbey ÖZDEMİRCİ Abstract: This article proposes to rethink power relations in the Early Republican Period, through a critical approach, with an emphasis on public opposition. In this way, the protests against the Turkish Ezan in Bursa in 1933 (known as the Bursa Incident) are analyzed by problematizing how the policies of One Party government regarding religious life have changed in connection with the demands and expectations of the public. Correspondingly, the opposition movements at the provincial parts of the country are analyzed in terms of the concept of "resistance". At first, the article claims a critical approach to public opposition in terms of historiography, and the practices of the government in the religious field are examined within this framework. Subsequently, the government policy on the vernacularization of worship language from Arabic into Turkish is analyzed through "Bursa Incident" in order to explain the basis and conditions of public opposition. Based on the "Bursa Incident" case, in this study, it is aimed to draw attention to the determinative impact of resistance practices in the power relations which are assumed to be embodied in the provinces in the context of local factors; besides an alternative approach is aimed to be developed regarding historiography, about the handling ways of public opposition.

Authors:Götan DOĞANGÜN; Asuman Özgür KEYSAN Abstract: Since 2011, due to the civil war in Syria nearly 4 million Syrian citizens have been forced to emigrate to Turkey and this situation has caused significant changes in their lives. As a complex and multi-layered process, migration has both created opportunities and challenges for Syrians. It is argued in the academic literature that migration as a complex process is not only a process experienced differently by men and women, but also social positions such as social status, education level, employment status get women to experience migration differently. By taking this point in mind, this study discusses that Syrian women, holding varying educational level and employment status, experience migration from Syria to Turkey differently. This study analyzes the data obtained from interviews with a total of 83 Syrians women from five different cities in Turkey by employing feminist methodology. Whereas emigration from Syria to Turkey has brought new challenges such as loss of status to the women who have access to education and workforce in Syria, for women who did not get education and join workforce, migration is experienced as a process that creates opportunities such as participation in education and employment, gaining access to public sphere and reduced family pressure.

Authors:Orhan GAFARLİ; Kürşad GÜÇ Abstract: In the process of the end of the Syrian civil war, Russia's contact with some groups of Syrian Kurds necessitated the historical background of Russian-Kurdish relations. Kurds have been on the political agenda of the Russians not only in the present but also in the past. Both Tsarist Russia and the Soviets considered the ethnic groups living in the regions, where they expanded in military and political terms, as partners in order to increase their domination in those regions. Some of the Kurds have also become actors with whom Russia has partnered in certain periods in the Middle East. In this context, this study will attempt to make a historical analysis of Russia's Kurdish policy. In this way, firstly, the academic and scientific dimension of Kurdish studies, which started in Russia in the middle of the 19th century, will be discussed. Then, the Kurdish policies of Russia during these eras will be discussed through historical facts. PubDate: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Yunus POLAT Abstract: Although their distinct epistemological and ontological approaches and various theoretical tools which they mobilize to comprehend ‘the international’ differentiate them, mainstream theories, critical approaches which follows the works of Habermas and post-structural-critical perspectives which follows the works of Levinas, resemble each other by sharing a mutual constraint that becomes evident in their incapability of explaining the constructive links between the international, the political and the societal and more importantly in their incapability of transforming the intellectual ground of international relations to an equitable and just frame. This work is dealing with the manifestations of the mutual constraint shared by those four approaches and trying to seek the roots of the constraint by analyzing the historical development and main debates of International Relations.

Authors:Oğuzhan GÜRSOY; Uğur SADİOĞLU Abstract: The migration movement towards the cities, which started from the Neolithic Revolution and transformed into a new form with the Industrial Revolution, causes a serious population and urbanization pressure on the cities. Especially in the last decade just before the millennium, a number of models and approaches have been put forth in order to minimize the urban problems caused by people and natural phenomena and the negative effects of these problems on the societies, environment and economy. Even though these approaches are diametrically opposite in some ways, some suggest vertical architecture and some horizontal architecture, all of them aim to serve economic, ecological, political and/or social sustainability. This study focuses on some concepts and models that came to the fore after the millennium in order to solve the problems encountered in urban areas. As a result, it has been clearly understood that the solution initiatives that emerged as a result of rapid technological development and globalization in the post-millennial period, were not only Western-centered as in the post-Industrial Revolution period. In this new period, it has been observed that solution initiatives in different parts of the world can also affect the global agenda on a large scale and find supporters. In this study, urban concepts, which are developed with the effect of recent transformations were identified and explained, possible interpretations of the concepts were analyzed, and the contents of the concepts about future urban problems were tried to be defined.

Authors:Uğur PEKTAŞ; Çınar ÖZEN Abstract: The association of the concept of political radicalism with terrorism and extremism makes it difficult to discuss the social reality that the concept refers to. In this study, it was claimed that ourhandling of the concept of radicalism with the phenomenon of alienation rather than extremism or terrorism will contribute to the analysis of the issues related to radicalism from a broader perspective. The argument that there are two different dimensions of radicalism (cognitive radicalism and behavioral radicalism) in studies on the literature of radicalism and terrorism has also been adopted in this study. In this direction, it has been tried to show that cognitive radicalism is not an extremism, while different worldviews that have not reached the level of action are considered as cognitive radicalism. In this study, it is aimed to construct an analysis model regarding alienation and cognitive radicalism by making use of Phenomenology. Through the aforementioned phenomenological model, the mutual construction process between the individual or various groups and the social and political order in which they live has been revealed. It has been claimed that the social reality called alienation and cognitive radicalism is seen in the country related to the deterioration of the said construction process. It is planned to apply the model of alienation and cognitive radicalism built in the study to practice in subsequent projects. PubDate: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Seray KUMLU Abstract: When we study the political thought of the French Revolution it is seen that the revolutionary process is also a period of discussion and construction of the concepts peculiar to the modern state in terms of content, scope and abstract and concrete correspondences. Investigation of the concepts of nation, people, citizenship and the thoughts contained in the slogan “equality, liberty, fraternity” gives us an idea about what kind of togetherness was built as a politicalstructure after the Ancien Régime. This article putsthe concept of friendship forward beside the basic concepts of modern political thought while figuring out the political journey of French people affected by the wind of the Revolution. While mentioning that the people need virtuous friends to be happy and friendship keeps the state on its feet, Aristotle both presented the first systematic work on friendship and emphasized the importance of it. Although the considerations on people's friendship remained the same, the meaning of state, of virtue and the actions to be taken for the happiness of the people had changed in the world of Robespierre -Jacobin leader- who enunciated that terror was the live version of the virtue. The concept of friendship leads to understanding the conditions of the emergence of the French Revolution as well as the political contingencies that occurred during the Revolution and the political structure that prevailed after other possibilities were removed.
