Authors:Ayşe Yetiş BAYRAKTAR; Işık A. AYTAÇ, Bruce H. RANKIN Abstract: Using data from a sample of 1100 married couples residing in urban Turkey, we examine the effects ofeconomic hardship, household economic strain, and social support on depressive symptoms. Since previousliterature showed gender differences in these relationships, the analysis is conducted separately on husbandsand wives. Controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, we find that job loss is associated with higherdepressive symptoms as measured by a modified CES-D index of depression, the effects of which are largelymediated by the resulting economic strain on the household. Contrary to much of the previous literatureshowing social support to promote better mental health outcomes, we found that the effect of financial andin-kind support depends the amount received relative to need. Those men receiving insufficient support havesignificantly higher CES-D scores, even higher than those not receiving any support when needed. Thereis no significant association between receipt of financial support and female CES-D scores. For both menand women, receipt of in-kind support is associated with significantly higher CES-D scores. The results arediscussed in light of previous literature linking economic distress, social support and mental health outcomes. PubDate: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Arda İBİKOĞLU Abstract: Inspired by law and society scholarship, this paper aims to study the law-in-action, in its multiplicities andcomplications, rather than the law-in-books, as fixed and idealized. In analyzing A Sweet Hereafter (Egoyan,1997), A Separation (Farhadi, 2011), and Mold (Aydın, 2012), I aim to demonstrate the inevitable fragility ofthe parallel images of the law, as an audacious institution that can comprehend life in its totality and solveall the problems that emerge, and the father as the ultimate authority who protects the child and shapes herlife. Instead, this study calls the reader to imagine the father and the law as mundane and flexible. PubDate: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Yurdal ÖZATLAN Abstract: The purpose of establishing joint stock companies is to make profit via commercial activities and distributeit between the shareholders proportionately. Therefore, despite the ability of joint stock companies to takeimportant decisions which could affect the company’s structure, not all share holders would approve of this.Some shareholders could oppose decisions taken accordingly with concerns raised regarding the wellbeingand future of the partnership. If such shareholders are not part of the decision-making process due to theirminority status they could be facing problems. Foreseeing such problems, lawmakers have granted theseineffective minority shareholders who do not have a say in the decision-making process group the right towithdraw from the partnership without requiring them to transfer their shares to third parties. Granting shareholders the right to withdrawal is also novel in terms of corporative law applications. Whereas according tothe former Turkish Code of Commerce (no. 6762) withdrawal was only possible with the transfer of shares,the new law (no. 6102) introduced articles that allowed for shares to be bought and sold for the exact worthof their shares. This work investigates the meaning of the right to withdrawal and certain articles of the TCCorganizing this particular right. PubDate: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +030
Authors:Eylem AKDENİZ GÖKER Abstract: This study intends to examine how “citizenship”, which came to be the fundamental relationship betweenthe state and the individual in a process where diasporic identity is emphasized, has been redefined byCircassian citizens, with a focus on legal entities (federations). The literature on the relationship betweendiasporic identity and citizenship tends to argue that the sense of belonging to diaspora would underminethe diasporic communities’ citizenship status within the host countries. This article maintains the contraryand argues that the diasporic communities’ legitimate quests for advancing cultural rights might revive thepractice of active citizenship. The main argument holds that efforts to express demands for cultural rightson legitimate grounds can initiate a process of active citizenship. PubDate: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +030

Authors:Bahadır KAYNAK Abstract: Turkey started imports of natural gas from Russia before the Cold War ended, establishing the basis of animportant relationship for decades to come. Construction of Blue Stream pipeline was a major landmark afterwhich Moscow consolidated its position as the major supplier for Turkish market. Despite efforts to diluteRussia’s dominance in natural gas imports, Gazprom still controls more than half of Turkey’s total consumptiontoday. Turkish Stream pipeline, that will directly link Russia with Turkey, is being constructed under thesecircumstances even though the project does not solely target Turkish consumers but aims to reach Europeanmarket in transit from Turkey. Two decades after the signing of Blue Stream contract, a comparison betweenthose projects may explain how Ankara has fared with its energy dependence on Russia.
