Africa, as a continent with which China has intensified its bilateral relations most, has been at the forefront of the Chinese foreign policy in recent years. However, certain economic aspects of the Chinese foreign policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa have been construed by some as a sort of “neo-colonialism”. There are mainly differing aspects in China’s energy and trade relations with the countries in the region that cause these discourses on “colonialism”. The giant investments in the energy sectors of Sub-Saharan Africa countries and the trade-surplus in bilateral trade in favour of China make African countries dependent on China. Owing to this one-sided dependency, there are fears that China is seeking to establish alternative power relations in Africa. Having said that, the Chinese efforts for mediation in crisis areas in Africa and its cooperation with international organizations for the resolution of conflicts require a re-assessment of these threats perceived from or constituted against China.In this article, a historical evaluation of the Chinese foreign policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa has been made, and the place of Africa in the Chinese policy has been explained with reference to support given to the UN Peacekeeping Operations in Darfur and South Sudan crisis areas. Although China opposed the deployment of UN Peacekeeping Operations in the crisis areas in 1990s, it has been actively taking part in five of seven operations as of 2019. Indeed, China’s attitude towards the UN Peacekeeping Operations has evolved from abstention to military and financial support. The changing attitude towards UN Peacekeeping Operations has resulted in increased financial support provided by China to UNPKO budget. While China contributed 3.9% to the UN Peacekeeping Operations budget in 2012, this rate reached 10.3% as of 2018.&nbsp;It is seen that China has an active role in crisis regions in Africa as compared to other regions and contributes the most to the Peacekeeping Operations organized by the UN. For this reason, China’s African policy needs to be evaluated from a broad perspective. Beijing supports operations in Africa while it opposes a possible UN Peacekeeping Operation in the Syrian Crisis. At this stage, the support given to the operations in African crisis regions is remarkable in order to prove that China’s changing attitude may be specific to the region and its conditions. China’s strategic interests in Africa encourage Beijing to shape events on this continent. China’s active diplomacy in Africa is mostly explained by the “energy” factor. However, China plays an active role in crisis regions in Africa rather than the Middle East, where it provides 62% of the energy imports. One of the three Peacekeeping Operations carried out by the UN in the Middle East has not provided staff to the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) to date. China started to provide personnel support to The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon-UNIFIL in Lebanon, after 2006, and attended with a team of 6 experts to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization-UNTSO in Jerusalem.&nbsp;One of the best examples of the Chinese active involvement to the conflict resolution and support to the UNPKO has been seen during the Darfur Crisis. China, which saw the Darfur Crisis as the internal problem of the Sudanese government, did not give consent to the deployment of any UN Peace Protection Operations in the region. However, due to this attitude, it faced the danger of boycotting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Consequently, the Chinese administration met with Sudanese President&nbsp;Ömer al-Bashir, and he adopted the decision to authorize the UN-African Union joint power for intervention in 2007.One of the most important consequences of the Darfur Crisis is that the Beijing administration has demonstrated that it can adapt its foreign policy principles in the strategic regions as required by its national interests. Likewise, the Sudan crises, that take place ten years apart, are important in terms of demonstrating that the Beijing administration is trying to strike a balance between national interests and sanctions directed to it by the international community.In addition, the fact that it contributed to the solution of the crisis, and participated in UN Peacekeeping Operations shows that China’s only strategic concern is not energy. As a matter of fact, China thinks that an instability that will spread from Darfur to neighbouring countries will endanger the agreements it has made with Sudan’s neighbouring countries, Ethiopia, Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic.A detailed and multidimensional analysis of Sino-African relations reveals that as China’s investment and trade ties expand in remote regions, Beijing becomes more sensitive to instability in these regions, and when instability emerges from a regional scale, it can compromise the principle of not interfering with its internal affairs. As Beijing’s global interests become widespread, security concerns increase simultaneously, and the crisis in which national interests are threatened has a more interventionist attitude.

Oceans were never as silent as Jacques Cousteau claimed in his book. As a matter of fact, ambient ocean noise is as high as 100 (dB), which is seeing an alarming increase due to the anthropogenic sources of underwater noise. Among these anthropogenic noises, those created by seismic surveys occupy a prominent place. In seismic surveys, air guns are employed. These enable surveyors to send sound waves in extremely high values in very short intervals of 10 seconds. It is well reported now that the introduction of such high-volume sound waves into the marine environment causes (usually fatal) injuries and various behavioral disturbances on marine mammals and other marine organisms, while they are not perceivable by the human ear. Disturbances, for example cause mammals and fish to miss mating dates as well as places and indirectly cause a significant decrease in catch rates, since these living organisms adopt a series of behaviors of escape-first mentality changing the way they normally would behave and move. Since sound travels 4 times faster underwater, the adverse impacts of seismic surveys are very difficult to geographically contain, thus transboundary harms to marine environment are very likely to occur.&nbsp;There is a relatively wide jurisprudence on maritime delimitation disputes. International Law pertaining to these disputes has been interpreted in such a manner by the competent international courts and arbitration tribunals that seismic surveys are usually presented as just too harmless to cause the international legal responsibility of the states concerned. According to this reasoning, permanent damage to the natural resources available in the maritime area to be delimited, as the law so requires, should be avoided. In this jurisprıdence, seismic surveys are referred to as utterly legitimate courses of action on behalf of the states parties to the dispute. However, seismic surveys are far from being harm-free in terms of damage inflicted upon the marine environment. Moreover, these surveys may, and in all likelihood will, cause violations of international rules and regulations, which can eventually end up being valid grounds for the international responsibility of the states involved.&nbsp;International Law offers many legal texts with global or regional effects. It is one of the main aims of this paper to briefly analyze these conventions and agreements. Those with a global legal reach such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) happen to provide a solid legal framework, building up globally applicable legal obligations to protect and to preserve marine environments, whereas regional agreements like ASCOBANS and ACCOBAMS tend to come up with more concrete measures, though not always included in the letter of the relevant body of international law, to reach this common objective. The most important contribution of these regional conventions is the fact that they are keenly observed by the States Parties to them, which enjoy geographical proximity and a similar level of dedication to the idea of environmental protection. The regulations of UNCLOS and CBD concerning the protection of marine environment are arguably to be accepted as customary international law, which expands the remit of the mentioned conventions.&nbsp;Underwater noise is acoustic energy released onto marine environment. This characteristic allows one to place this nauseating occurrence into the category of pollution as described by the 1st Article of the UNCLOS. Therefore, the general obligations foreseen by the same Convention are to be applied in a noise-related setting. In order to observe this and other legal obligations, states should be keen on the idea of employing mitigating measures such as marine mammal observers, soft starts, exclusion zones and the sharing of scientific information as to the negative impacts of seismic activities. It is of vital importance that in all of the seismic-survey-related processes precautionary principles should advise the actors, with a view to preserving and protecting the marine environment and its biological diversity. Only in this fashion, the two distinct objectives of sustainable exploitation of natural resources and of concomitant protection of marine environment may be realized.

INTERPOL, consisting of 194 member countries, aims to ensure and promote international criminal police cooperation, and develop platforms in this regard in order to prevent and suppress crimes which do not constitute a political, military, religious or racial character from transcending national borders. To fulfill this aim bestowed upon the Organization by its constitution, INTERPOL has to have the capacity to act on international legal order such as concluding treaties, disposing of movable and immovable property and instituting legal proceedings. Such a necessity for INTERPOL inevitably requires having an international organization status with international legal personality. Otherwise, it would be impossible for INTERPOL to perform tasks and duties, or the actions it undertakes on international plane would be legally invalid.Accordingly, INTERPOL sought to be recognized as an international organization in international legal order after its inception. In this respect, INTERPOL was first recognized as a non-governmental organization (NGO) by the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1949. Then in 1971, it was given international organization status by the United Nations through a special arrangement. In addition, INTERPOL has been enjoying observer status in the United Nations General Assembly since 1996.From this point, INTERPOL functions as an international organization, and is recognized in this regard by the United Nations. However, the status of INTERPOL as an international organization, and thereby its international legal personality has been a point of controversy in the literature. For instance, Schermers (1983, p. 148), pointing that INTERPOL was not established by a formal treaty, classifies INTERPOL as an NGO rather than an international organization. In addition, Gallas (1983, s. 187) asserts that since INTERPOL’s members are criminal police authorities rather than states or governments, INTERPOL is not an international organization. Based on this reasoning, for Gallas, INTERPOL does not have an international legal personality. In line with Schermers and Gallas, Gless (2007) states that INTERPOL was not established on a formal international treaty and its members are composed of police authorities rather than governments.&nbsp;Problematizing the controversy in the literature, this study questions whether INTERPOL is an international organization with international legal personality. At the end of discussion, the study reaches the conclusion, by demonstrating its relevant international legal bases, that INTERPOL is an international organization with international legal personality. In this respect, based on the jurisprudence of International Court of Justice and definition of the term ‘international organization’ given by the International Law Commission (ILC), there are three distinct criteria to differentiate between international organizations and other entities functioning in the international realm: (i) being established by an international treaty or other instrument governed by international law; (ii) having at least one organ with a will of its own; (iii) having international legal personality.Questioning INTERPOL’s status as an international organization by utilizing these criteria, INTERPOL fulfills all of the three. Regarding the first criterion, although INTERPOL was not established by a formal international treaty in terms of the features&nbsp;enumerated in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the 1956 Constitution of INTERPOL constitutes an international treaty in simplified form. Hence, INTERPOL was founded on an international treaty contrary to the argument raised by Schermers, Gallas and Gless.Regarding the second criterion, INTERPOL has autonomous organs with distinct will. For instance, members of INTERPOL’s Executive Committee “shall conduct themselves as representatives of the Organization and not as representatives of their respective countries” (1956 Interpol Constitution Art. 22). Similarly, the Secretary General and the staff shall not accept instructions from governments or any other authority outside INTERPOL. Hence, each member of the Organization shall “respect the exclusively international character of the Secretary General and the staff” (1956 Interpol Constitution Art. 30).&nbsp;Lastly, regarding the third criterion, it is possible to infer INTERPOL’s international legal personality through an inductive reasoning. Accordingly, it is assumed that if an organization does not have international legal personality, that organization does not have the capacity to perform legal acts such as concluding treaties with other persons of international law to fulfill the functions bestowed upon it by its definitive statute. In the case of INTERPOL, the Organization has to enter into a legal relationship with member states to ensure and promote worldwide international criminal police cooperation. To this end, INTERPOL concluded headquarters agreements with states.

Conservatism is derived from Romanesque words “conservare” and “conservatismus” which means preserve as it is. The definition of conservatism involves; preserve, modest or prudent behaviour, traditional or conformist lifestyle, metathesiophobia or opposite of change but it is difficult to define conservatism as a political term. The main reason for this difficulty is that the definition is based upon the ideology which conservatism struggles with. The scope of conservatism is formed according to the opposing ideology, and its characteristics are different from fundamentalism. In this sense, the definition of conservatism varies depending upon the time and geography, according to the ideological pole which conservatism stands against. Moreover, in this scope, the relationship between conservatism and its counterpart is always dynamic and transitive. So, the definition and contents of conservatism, which appear in the historical scene of the French Revolution, changes according to the conditions of the time and the country where conservatism grows.&nbsp;The relationship between conservatism and the Republic Revolution, created one of the most radical changes, involving contradictions and transitivities as well. 1923-1960 is the temporal border of this article. This period is one of the most significant chapters in Turkey’s history because the relationship between conservatism and the republic was critical. But in this article the spatial reflection of the relationship between conservatism and the Republic Revolution has been chosen as a problematic.&nbsp;The dialectic between the ideology and the space has been considered in the intellectual environment since the 1970s with Lefebvre’s highlighted. In Lefebvre’s thought, the space was defined both as a stage and an element used by ideologies for dominating themselves in everyday life as a substructure. As he highlighted in the sentence “what is the meaning of ideology without space” all ideologies aim to reshape the space in order to make their practices dominant over daily life.&nbsp;Within this context, the Republic emerged with a modernist and revolutionary scoop, but it has been struggling against conservative ideology since it was established. The period 1923-1960 was critical in the conflict between the republic and conservatism, which involved the period from the establishment of the republic to a multi-party system. In the first half of the period (1923-1945), the republic shaped the space in the revolutionary manner, using administrative and legal regulations to get a grip on daily life. The Republic put its spatial implementations into practice in a wide range, from city planning scale to green area design scale, especially in the capital city of Ankara. Changes on a national and international scale and the economic inability of the young Republic prevented modernist practices from spreading over a wide geographical area.&nbsp;Conservatism became visible and continued its opposition by using rural areas from 1945-1960. This period started with the de-renouncement of CHP’s revolutionary attitude and was finalised with the selection of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party, which defined itself as a democrat and conservative party, used space to make dominant it’s ideology on daily life like in the previous period. Moreover, another difference from the early period of the Republic, the Democrat Party chose a liberal model for the economy.&nbsp;In addition to this, the Democrat Party used space as a field to accomplish the liberal model and at the same tıme conservatism to transform society.As it can be seen, the period 1923-1960, was the most critical in the period of struggle between conservatism and the republic, which contains ideological and political clashes. In this article, the evolution of struggle between conservatism and the republic and the strategic role of the space in this struggle are analised for the period of 1923-1960.

The US military intervention in Iraq in 2003 led to new and important debates in terms of international relations. The benefits and harmful effects of private military and security companies (PMSCs) and their contracted personnel after 2003 gave rise to new discussions about US intervention in particular and the concept of security in general. The economic, humanitarian and political costs of the war during the US presence in Iraq increased each year. The economic cost of the Iraq war in 2008 was around 197 billion dollars, while the number of US troops in the country increased to 161,783 in the same year. In 2008, 63% of US public opinion regarded the military intervention in Iraq to be wrong. The increasing economic, humanitarian and political costs of the US during the post-2003 period have made the externalization of the burdens of this war significant, and the PMSCs and their contracted personnel have become prominent in this process. The Bush administration tried to externalize the rising costs of war by deploying an increasing number of contracted personnel in Iraq. Thanks to the PMSCs, a large number of contracted personnel were able to work in Iraq thereby reducing the cost, and contractor personnel even became the second largest group within the coalition forces. Moreover, with the increasing number of foreign and Iraqi contractors, the US could lower their casualties and in this way, the Bush administration externalized the humanitarian costs of the war. By externalizing the economic and humanitarian burdens of the war, the US administration tried to limit the reaction of the US public. Moreover, limited congress control over the contracted personnel also helped to externalize the political costs for the Bush administration. Although the Obama and Trump administrations have avoided costly military interventions, the PMSCs during these periods have continued to protect US interests in Iraq. After the Bush administration, the contractors replaced the US forces in Iraq and they are still operating in the country.Although contracted personnel helped externalize some costs, problems caused by them resulted in new costs both for the US and Iraq. Both unauthorized use of force and human rights violations by contracted personnel undermined the US reputation in Iraq and strengthened antiUS trends within the country. Furthermore, issues such as coordination problems between the US forces and private companies in the conflict zones created additional costs for the US during the war. The PMSCs became an active party of the war in Iraq and they directly or indirectly affected the level of violence. The limited accountability of the contracted personnel in terms of national and international laws made the control of these companies an important issue, while the privatization of the security understanding via PMSCs led to the transformation of the concept of security in Iraq. Changing the wages of the contractors according to the level of violence in Iraq and the nationality of the contractors accelerated the marketization of security. While the privatization of security weakened the concept of public security, security in Iraq turned into a service that can be purchased. Although various regulatory mechanisms have been developed to prevent the problems caused by the PMSCs, it is not easy to operate these mechanisms in a fragile country like Iraq.&nbsp;The involvement of the PMSCs in an international military intervention has also raised new questions about international security. Deliberate outsourcing of military functions to private companies by states has led to new debates about both the state monopoly on force and the changing understanding of traditional security. The solutions to the new problems created by top-down privatization and its relations with the bottom-up privatization maintain their theoretical and practical importance and will continue to be important issues in International Relations, International Law and Security Studies.

In order to understand political representation, one needs to grasp the different approaches in terms of its definition. More than half a century ago, Hanna Pitkin offered one of the most detailed accounts of representation, and underlined four different types of representation, each of which focuses on the different aspects of the concept (Pitkin, 1967). The first dimension reflects the symbolic representation, which refers to the represented’s feelings about whether they are being fairly and effectively represented. The second dimension is the formalistic representation, which refers to the rules and procedures regulating the selection and removal of representatives. The third dimension is the descriptive representation, which refers to the similarity between representatives and the represented. The final dimension, which is the focus of our study, is the substantive representation, which reflects the congruence between the representatives’ actions and the interests of the represented.Based on the literature on the substantive representation of women, our study advances two main arguments. (1) Ideologically left parties (the center left CHP and left-wing HDP) will be more active in representing women’s interests in the Turkish parliament. As a result, we hypothesize that these parties will draft more bills with feminist content. (2) It is widely believed that the most responsive actors in terms of women’s substantive representation in the parliament are women legislators. Hence, we argue that female legislators are more concerned with the substantive representation of women, and hypothesize that women legislators will draft more private members’ bills compared to their male colleagues. In light of these two arguments, this study aims to analyze the substantive representation of women in the Turkish parliament by using quantitative content analysis techniques. Our study aims to make a significant contribution to the literature, both in terms of its method and its approach (determining policy priorities of individual legislators). In this respect (based on pre-determined policy areas), we have collected and content coded more than 4500 private members’ bills which were drafted by legislators from different parties in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Utilizing this unique dataset, we seek to understand which parties are more active in terms of women’s substantive representation in the Turkish parliament. We also aim to uncover whether the gender of the individual legislator has an impact on feminist bill initiation behavior.&nbsp;Our results indicate that center left CHP is the most active party in terms of initiating bills with feminist content. Both female and male legislators from the CHP introduced many private members’ bills that further women’s interests. This effect is even bigger when the size of the party is taken into account. Similarly, the left-wing HDP is also quite active in representing women’s interests once we take into account the facts that they did not participate in the 22nd legislative terms and that they were the smallest party in the parliament. These findings confirm our first expectation, that compared to rightwing parties, ideologically left parties are more likely to represent women’s interests in parliament.&nbsp;We also hypothesized that women legislators would be more likely to represent the interests of women, and therefore, descriptive representation would lead to substantive representation. In this respect, we expected women legislators to draft more feminist bills compared to their male colleagues. Our results present a mixed picture in this regard. The findings indicate that women legislators did not make the expected contribution to the substantive representation of women. A detailed analysis of our data shows that, with the exception of the HDP, male legislators propose more feminist bills. These findings indicate that although the number of women legislators has increased over the years, this increase in numbers did not have the expected impact on women’s substantive representation. Our results have significant implications for the substantive representation of women in Turkey.

Considering that there are nearly two hundred countries in the world today; the economic, socio-cultural and political situation of each state differs from one another. These differences occur according to the political and bureaucratic traditions of the countries, the nature of the political regime, the party or social groups that hold political power, the level of development of the countries, and the characteristics of the historical process in which they exist etc. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of the political crisis between Turkey and Russian Federation after the airplane crises on November 24, 2015. When examined in the context of economic and political relations, Turkey downed the Russian Federation’s plane on November 24, 2015 which added another strain to already turbulent Turkey and Russia relations. The crisis that took place on November 24, 2015 was the biggest crisis in the recent period.The scope of this study is the reflection of political risk on commercial relations between Turkey and the Russian Federation. There is a comprehensive list of academic studies on business issues which have already been carried out such as Tourism relations, energy relations etc. However, the scope of this study - the effect of the aircraft crash on Turkey’s import and export values – is not from an academic perspective. The study has three parts. In the first part, we look at the political risk concept and political and commercial relations. In the second part of the study, a time series regression analysis was conducted with the STATA program. In the last part of the study, the results obtained were evaluated and recommendations were made.After Turkey downed the aircraft belonging to Russia on November 24, 2015, it faced a weakening of its strong trade relations with the Russian Federation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of trade relations between the two countries in terms of the volume of foreign trade as a result of political risk. The effect of commercial relations between the two countries by linking variables has been shown in a quantitative study. For this purpose, a time series regression analysis was performed in the STATA program. The data was constituted with the Turkey Statistics Institute (TUIK) and the Central Bank (MB) reports. The political crisis is the independent variable and the control variables are the CPI-based real effective exchange rate, the monthly percentage change in the CPI and industrial production index. The Turkey-Russia trade volume is considered as the dependent variable. We analyzed the effect of the political crisis on foreign trade volume within the scope of these variables. Monthly values of the data are used in the study and the time series covers the period from January 2005 to November 2017. The regression coefficient of the CRIS variable was negative (- 507). As mentioned in the literature, the political crisis between the two countries caused a decrease in the trade volumes of the countries. In this context, the hypothesis that political risk leads to disruption of international trade relations has been supported.&nbsp;In addition to the regression analysis, changes in the volume of imports and exports are shown with the help of graphs. The results obtained from the regression analysis and the drawn graphics were supported and decreases in the volume of imports and exports are shown in the graphs. The lowest import volume with the Russian Federation was observed in the subsequent months after the aircraft crises covering Russia’s sanctioning period. Traces of the political crisis created by the aircraft crisis were observed a year&nbsp;after the incident. In 2016, both import and export data were generally low. The levels of imports and exports seen in the data of 2015 could not be reached in 2017 but they paint a better picture than the levels in 2016.In this study, Turkey’s downing of an aircraft belonging to the Russian Federation and the implication of this event, consisting of political risk on commercial activities, was analyzed with time series regression and examined through two years of data shown in before and after graphs. As a result of the study, we can see that the political crises has had an effect on import and export volumes and also the severity of the crises has affected communication between the countries and the process of re-engaging in business activities. Economic relations between Turkey and Russia are sensitive to political events. It can be said that Turkey’s strategies implemented after the crisis were not successful because Turkey’s export data still has not reached that of 2014.&nbsp;&nbsp;In conclusion, the political crises between the two countries have had a negative impact on the commercial activities of the countries. In order for political crises to have less negative impacts on the commercial activities of countries, it may be advisable to establish a partnership rather than a direct investment in countries with high political risks.

The Effect of Changes in the Political Climate on Intercountry Trade: An Econometric Analysis on Turkey-Russia Aircraft Crisis

Şule

The impact of international migration on foreign trade manifests itself through two channels: preference and network effects. The continuation of the consumption habits of the immigrant in his/her country of origin also leads to a demand for the goods of the immigrated country in the host country. Besides, immigrants can lead to changes in the consumption patterns of the citizens in the host country where they live. Considering all these effects, the increase in the demand for the goods of the home countries will increase the imports in the host country. This is called the preference effect. There is a network system that connects individuals in the home country and the host country. Social and economic relations between individuals are maintained through some formal or informal groups. These connections contribute to the increase in the relationship between the two countries. Immigrants help business activities to increase by establishing business contacts with individuals in the host country. Another important effect is that they accelerate the flow of information between the host and home countries by sharing the information they have with their host country. Increased knowledge leads to a reduction in transaction costs in trade. These effects are called network effects. The preference effect increases the imports of the host country, while the network effect increases both exports and imports.This study aims to examine the impact of international migration on foreign trade. For this purpose, panel data analysis is used in the study. The analysis includes the foreign trade data that Turkey made with 125 countries from which Turkey received immigrants between 2013 and 2016. The sample of the study is divided into two groups including 33 industrialized OECD and 92 developing countries. This distinction constitutes a homogeneous sample because it includes the countries that are more similar to each other. The random effect model is preferred because the number of units in the sample is greater than the time period, the sample does not include all possible countries, and the use of a variable that does not change over time such as distance. The variables used in the analysis are determined according to the augmented gravity model. In the models, foreign trade variables include exports, imports and the sum of the two are used as dependent variables, while income level, distance, population and nominal exchange rate variables as well as migration variable are considered as explanatory variables. Taking Turkey as a home country, some studies examined the impact of international migration on trade. These studies have been carried out on migration from Turkey to Western countries. To the best of our knowledge, there is no empirical study taking Turkey as the host country in the relevant literature.As the distance variable representing the distance between Turkey and other countries does not change in years in the panel gravity model, it has a dummy structure. Therefore, the distance variable cannot be used in the fixed effects model based on many dummy variables by their nature. In addition, the countries included in the sample consist of a random selection as their data are available. For these reasons, all of the models in the study are estimated using the random-effects model. The Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) estimator is used to make a prediction free of problems such as crosssectional dependence, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation in the estimated linear regression models based on panel data method.According to the main result of the study, the impact of international migrants coming to Turkey between 2013 and 2016 contributed positively to Turkey’s trade. This result is valid for Turkey’s trade both with OECD countries and with developing countries. Also, international migration has a positive impact on Turkey’s exports and imports in both groups of countries. The main result of the study is in accord with the expectations. This result shows that international migrants contribute to the welfare of the communities they live in. In other words, foreign trade has an important social benefit for the acceptability of international migration. This is because, the positive effect of international migration on foreign trade in a country is known by the citizens in that country, which may favorably change the perspective towards migrants or reduce negative attitudes towards immigrants in host countries&nbsp;When the empirical results are examined in detail in terms of variables representing foreign trade, another significant result emerges. Accordingly, the impact of international migrants on import is larger than export in Turkey. This is valid for both OECD countries and developing countries. This result shows that the preference effect emerges predominantly. It is possible to say that migrants in Turkey meet a part of the demand for final goods through imports. For this purpose, new empirical studies on the determinants of intra-industry trade are needed in future studies. The impact of international migration on import is larger than export meaning that migrants residing in Turkey lack high-quality human capital.

The 1980s were the beginning of a radical restructuring process in the political economy of contemporary capitalism. The erosion of real capital accumulation in the 1970s and crisis conjuncture in which capitalism faces were tried to be overcome with a paradigm shift. Thus, neoliberal ideology and its polities have replaced the Keynesian paradigm. In this context, global economic architecture (system) has witnessed the processes of neoliberalism, globalization and finally financialization, after 1980. Even though the concept of financialization is dealt with in different approaches and the extent of its scope makes it difficult to make a clear definition, it is defined that financialization is a process whereby financial markets, financial institutions, financial motive, and financial elites gain major power over economic policy design and economic outcomes (Epstein, 2005; Krippner, 2005; Palley, 2007a; Orhangazi, 2008a).Another development observed in the world economy in simultaneously with the financialization process has been the increase in the unemployment rate. Mainstream economists generally explain the causes of unemployment by labor market rigidities, education level, and work motivation (Snowdon ve Vane, 2005, s.404; Gonzalez ve Sala, 2014, s.596). On the other hand, how financialization affects unemployment is not much included in the mainstream analysis.&nbsp;Discussions on the causes and consequences of financialization have increased rapidly in recent times. Looking at the relevant literature, financialization studies are generally focused on real capital accumulation and growth (Stockhammer, 2004; Orhangazi, 2008b; Demir, 2008), crises (Akyüz ve Boratav, 2003; Lee ve Cheng; 2011) and income distribution (Van Arnum ve Naples, 2013; Flaherty, 2015; Stockhammer, 2017; Dünhaupt, 2017). On the other side, there have been deficiencies in the literature about a systematic analysis of how financialization can influence the unemployment rate through which mechanisms. This study is built on the view that the damage caused by the financialization process on real economic activities affects the job creation and unemployment rate. Within this framework, four different channels have been defined in which financialization will affect the unemployment rate in this study. The four potential explanations of the relationship between financialization and the unemployment rate are as follows:• Shareholder value orientation on non-financial corporates (NFC) • Income inequality caused by financialization • the replacement of full employment macroeconomic policy with low inflation targeting policy • Financial crises and its impacts on the real economyThese developments may affect the unemployment rate by eroding real capital accumulation and production capacity in the economy.The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between financialization and unemployment rate in 9 OECD countries1 during 1980-2015 by means of panel cointegration and causality methods. The study is thought to contribute to the literature due to the lack of empirical analysis of the relationship between financialization and unemployment. In this study, the share of finance, insurance and real estate sectors (FIRE) in total value added is used as financialization variable. FIRE is a commonly used financialization variable because it is a comprehensive indicator (Van Arnum ve Naples, 2013; Flaherty, 2015; Darcillon, 2015). This data is gathered from EU-KLEMS. Unemployment rate (UNEMP) data is obtained from the World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) database.Firstly, homogeneity of the slope coefficient is carried out by way of delta test developed by Pesaran and Yamagata (2008). Thus, the slope coefficient is concluded to be homogeneous. Subsequently, the presence of cross-sectional dependence is revealed by Breusch and Pagan (1980) and Pesaran (2004) tests. Whether the series contains a unit root has been investigated via the second generation Pesaran (2007) CADF unit root test taking cross-sectional dependence into account. Both FIRE and the unemployment rate possess unit at levels but when the first-difference of the series is taken, both series become stationary. After finding that the series were stationary at first-difference, the long-term relationship between the variables is examined by Westerlund (2007) ECM test. According to Westerlund (2007) ECM, there is a long-term relationship between financialization and unemployment rate. In other words, the series are co-integrated. Finally, the causality relationship between the variables is examined by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) panel causality test. It is found evidence of bidirectional causality between variables. In other words, financialization is the cause of unemployment and vice versa.The results of the study show that financialization for the countries examined affects unemployment. In the financialization era, the decrease in real capital accumulation, shift of macroeconomic policies, the deterioration in income distribution and the financial crises may constitute the potential mechanisms of increasing the unemployment rate. Another important result of the study is the determination of causality from unemployment to financialization. The increasing unemployment rate creates people who are deprived of income. In the conjuncture where the unemployment rate rises, people have to use their savings or borrow from financial institutions to keep up their basic needs. Increasing borrowing through credit cards and consumer credits also may raise the share of the financial sector in value added.These results may play an important role in policymaking. Firstly, the control and regulations on financial markets should be increased in these countries. This situation is very important in reducing the destructive effects of financialization. Secondly, The speculative activities of NFC’s have to be reduced. Increasing real economic activities will create new job opportunities and reduce the unemployment rate. Finally, full employment policies should be returned.

In the modern business world, enterprises realize the importance of human resourcesoriented activities and act with the awareness that employee job satisfaction must first be ensured for customer satisfaction. Evaluating which factors can be effective on the variables such as employee satisfaction and job performances and developing policies in this direction is possible by identifying employees’ motivation factors. For this reason, today, organizations take into account the motivation factors that enable employees high performance.&nbsp;Motivation is a psychological process that can be expressed as a voluntary action to achieve a goal. The “Work Preference Inventory” (Amabile, Hill, Hennessey and Tighe 1994) is a four-dimensional measurement tool of motivational factors. It has been cited 2146 times until today. As there is not a Turkish version of the Work Preference Inventory, the purpose of this study is to translate the scale in Turkish and execute reliabilty and validity analysis. In Amabile Hill, Hennessey and Tighe’s work, the factors of intrinsic motivation were divided into two sub-dimensions: ‘challenge’ and ’enjoyment’. esinde in the behavioral struggle. Challenge is the tendency to reward yourself by overcoming difficult tasks. Enjoyment is when the activities are interesting and satisfying. Extrinsic motivation factors are considered in two sub-dimensions - ‘compensation’ and ‘outward. Compensation is a reward or income that is commensurate with the effort of the person. Outward is based on recognition and acceptance by others.Banking is an area in the services sector where product diversity is difficult to create. The main factor that will create a competitive advantage in the banking sector is human resources. Therefore we determined the population of this study as the employees of the Turkish Banking Sector. The four-dimensional motivation assessment tool the ‘Work Preference Inventory’ developed by Amabile et. al. , detailed above, was used to identify the motivation elements of the banking sector employees.The questionnaire, which was prepared to collect data from banking sector employees, was distributed to the banking sector employees via social media by the random sampling method. While 405 questionnaire forms were returned, the analysis was performed on 338 observations after clearing missing data forms and outliers.Analysis showed that motivation of banking sector employees in Turkey has a fivedimensional structure. These dimensions are ‘Meaningful job and self-efficacy’, ‘Desire for unstructured works’, ‘Success at structured works’, ‘Awareness of success target’, ‘The search for specificity and consideration of others’ opinion’. ‘Meaningful job and self-efficacy’ means that the employee feels that she is doing something meaningful and valuable for herself and others and that she is competent in it. ‘Desire for unstructured works’ means the employee’s willingness to undertake new, compelling, complex tasks and responsibilities. ‘Success at structured works’ is the high performance of the employee, compared to others, in the tasks in which the requirements, characteristics, and manner of work are determined. ‘Awareness of success target’ means employee awareness of his career goals and curiosity to achieve them .‘The search for specificity and consideration of others’ opinion’ means an employee’s willingness to work in jobs where what is to be done is stated clearly, and a tendency to consider others’ thoughts.The other purposes of this study are to determine the main elements that motivate the employees of the Turkish banking sector and to test the differences of these motivations in terms of demographic and structural factors of the sector. ‘Meaningful job and selfefficacy’ is identified as the most affecting factor on the motivation of the banking sector employees. ‘Awareness of success target’, ‘Desire for unstructured works’ and ‘The search for specificity and consideration of others’ opinion’ are evaluated as additional motivating factors consecutively. In comparison, ‘Success at structured works’ is determined as the least motivating factor. The differences in the motivation of the employees, in terms of experience, department, gender, age, education level and position are also examined. According to the analysis, banking employees with less than 3 years of experience or under 29 years of age have a higher motivation level for the ‘Meaningful job and selfefficacy’ factor; but the motivation of ‘The search for specificity and consideration of others’ opinion’of those under 29 years of age is lower; employees who don’t have a university degree have a high motivation in ‘Success at structured works’. According to the business departments in the study, the operation group employees’ motivation is lower than the employees of the support group; but the operation group employees have a higher motivation in ‘Success at structured works’ than the other groups; and the support group employees have high motivation to ‘The search for specificity and consideration of others’ opinion’. There is no difference between motivational dimensions in terms of the positions and genders of banking employees.

The Artificial Intelligence Policy, prepared in light of developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and practices in scholarly publishing, sets out the editorial and ethical principles that authors, reviewers, and editors should follow when using such technologies. The following sources have been considered in the preparation of the AI policy:Committee on Publication Ethics <a href="https://publicationethics.org/guidance/cope-position/authorship-and-ai-tools" target="_blank">(COPE) - Authorship and AI tools</a>; International Committee of Medical Journal Editors <a href="https://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html#four" target="_blank">(ICMJE) - Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Assisted Technology; World Association of Medical Editors  (WAME) Chatbots, Generative AI, and Scholarly Manuscripts</a><a href="https://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html#four"></a>AI-assisted technologies (such as large language models [LLMs], chatbots, or image generators) can develop and produce a wide variety of content, including text, images, audio, and synthetic data. When used ethically and safely, these capabilities can increase productivity and foster innovation, but when used without human guidance, they pose risks such as inaccurate and biased results, omissions and errors in citations, deficiencies in protecting privacy and intellectual property rights, and potential violations of authors' and publishers' rights. IUPress adopts the following core principles to avoid these risks in the use of AI:  <ul><li>Details of any AI used in the production of content (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) must be declared and clearly explained in the appropriate section of the paper (as an acknowledgement and/or in the methods section). </li><li>No AI tool may be listed as an author in any scientific paper. </li><li>Authors are responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and originality of their work, even if AI is used in any way; they are responsible for the proper referencing and attribution of others' ideas, data, words, or other materials. </li><li>Reviewers and editors must not upload submitted work, in whole or in part, to any generative AI application.</li></ul>In the editorial processes of IUPress publications, tools are available to assist editors in identifying AI-generated content. On the other hand, it is common to use AI tools that provide suggestions for improving and enhancing readability, language, and grammar, and such AI tools can be used in IUPress publications under the supervision of editors and authors.

Artificial Intelligence Policy

<ul><li>Authors are required to declare if they have used AI-assisted technologies (such as large language models [LLMs], chatbots, or image generators) in the creation of their submitted work. </li><li>Authors should explain, both in the cover letter and in the appropriate section of the submitted paper (as a footnote and/or in the methods section), which AI tool and which version of it they have used and for what purpose. </li><li>Authors should also indicate how they used the AI tool and how they assessed the validity of the results obtained using this technology, and what aspects of the paper, manuscript content, data or supporting files were influenced by the use of the AI tool or were generated by AI.</li><li>It is the authors' responsibility to ensure the accuracy, validity and appropriateness of content and citations generated by AI-assisted technologies and to eliminate potential errors, inconsistencies and biased results. </li><li>Authors should always check the original sources to eliminate possible plagiarism, recognising that there is a potential for plagiarism in texts produced with AI-assisted technologies. They should confirm that they have checked and that the sources are original.  </li><li>AI-assisted tools (such as ChatGPT) cannot be listed as authors because they cannot be responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the work, and these responsibilities are essential to authorship. Therefore, authors are responsible for all material involving the use of AI-assisted technologies. Authors should ensure that all statements in the article that state the hypotheses, interpretations, conclusions, limitations, and implications of the study represent their own opinions.  </li><li>Studies created by authors using AI tools in the following ways, which substitute for the basic researcher's and author's responsibilities, violate the principles of scientific publishing and publication ethics, and such studies are not eligible for inclusion in publications: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Generation of text or code without rigorous review, </li><li>Generation of synthetic data to replace missing data without a robust methodology, </li><li>Creation of any inaccurate, synthetic content, including abstracts or supplementary materials, </li><li>Creation and manipulation of images and figures (pictures, graphs, data tables, medical images, image snippets, computer codes and formulae) or original research data (enhancing, hiding, moving, removing or adding a particular feature within an image or figure) using AI.</li></ul></ul>

It is essential to maintain confidentiality in the peer review process and not to share or use the reviewed work in this process. <a href="https://publicationethics.org/sites/default/files/ethical-guidelines-peer-reviewers-cope.pdf" target="_blank">(COPE – Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers</a>)<ul><li>Reviewers should not upload a manuscript or part of a manuscript submitted to them for review to generative AI tools or large language models to assist in the review, evaluation or decision-making process, as uploading content to such AI tools by reviewers violates the authors' privacy and property rights.  </li><li>Reviewing a scientific paper is a responsibility that can only be undertaken by human beings. The critical thinking and original evaluation required for peer review is beyond the scope of this technology, and there is a risk that the technology will produce inaccurate, incomplete or biased conclusions about the paper. The peer review report and decision letters should reflect the personal assessment of the reviewers and editors of the submitted content. The reviewer is responsible and accountable for the content of his/her report. </li><li>AI tools may be used in a limited way to improve the quality of the language of the peer review report (for translation or language editing) in the context of peer review. If such use is made, the reviewer must declare the use when submitting the report. </li><li>Reviewers who suspect inappropriate or undisclosed use of generative AI in a submission should report their concerns to the editor.</li></ul>

Editors are obliged to ensure that the confidentiality of the manuscripts submitted to the journal is maintained during the evaluation process, and it is essential that the peer-reviewed work is not shared or used outside the parties involved in that process.

Only those manuscripts approved by its every individual author and that were not published before in or sent to another journal, are accepted for evaluation.Submitted manuscripts that pass preliminary control are scanned for plagiarism using iThenticate software. After plagiarism check, the eligible ones are evaluated by Editor-in-Chief for their originality, methodology, the importance of the subject covered and compliance with the journal scope. Editor-in-Chief evaluates manuscripts for their scientific content without regard to ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship, religious belief or political philosophy of the authors and ensures a fair double-blind peer review of the selected manuscripts.The selected manuscripts are sent to at least two national/international external referees for evaluation and publication decision is given by Editor-in-Chief upon modification by the authors in accordance with the referees’ claims.Editor-in-Chief does not allow any conflicts of interest between the authors, editors and reviewers and is responsible for final decision for publication of the manuscripts in the Journal.Reviewers’ judgments must be objective. Reviewers’ comments on the following aspects are expected while conducting the review.- Does the manuscript contain new and significant information?- Does the abstract clearly and accurately describe the content of the manuscript?- Is the problem significant and concisely stated?- Are the methods described comprehensively?- Are the interpretations and consclusions justified by the results?- Is adequate references made to other Works in the field?- Is the language acceptable?Reviewers must ensure that all the information related to submitted manuscripts is kept as confidential and must report to the editor if they are aware of copyright infringement and plagiarism on the author’s side.A reviewer who feels unqualified to review the topic of a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.The editor informs the reviewers that the manuscripts are confidential information and that this is a privileged interaction.

Although references to review articles can be an efficient way to guide readers to a body of literature, review articles do not always reflect original work accurately. Readers should therefore be provided with direct references to original research sources whenever possible. On the other hand, extensive lists of references to original work on a topic can use excessive space on the printed page. Small numbers of references to key original papers often serve as well as more exhaustive lists, particularly since references can now be added to the electronic version of published papers, and since electronic literature searching allows readers to retrieve published literature efficiently. Papers accepted but not yet included in the issue are published online in the Early View section and they should be cited as “advance online publication”. Citing a “personal communication” should be avoided unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication must be obtained.Reference Style and FormatSiyasal: Journal of Political Sciences complies with APA (American Psychological Association) style 6th Edition for referencing and quoting.
