The global economic crisis that the world faced in 2008 showed that serious financial crises are not limited to less developed countries. When the rapid growth in credits is not controlled, it can lead to a economic collapse and banking crises even in the most developed countries. In this respect, it is important to identify periods of credit expansion and contraction and to keep the financial market under control against overheating and cooling. Our study aims to introduce credit cycles and identify quarterly credit cycles and their turning points in Turkey. We use Bry Boschan algorithm for identify turning points. According to the analysis which made by the credit/Gross domestic product variable, 6 expansion and contraction periods identified between 1998:1-2023:3 in Turkey. According to our analysis results, consistent with the literature, financial crises in the period under review coincide with the peaks of credit cycles and the subsequent contraction periods. However, contrary to the literature, business cycles in Turkey last longer than credit cycles in some periods. Moreover, while the structural reforms implemented by the monetary authority between 2001 and 2004 were effective in keeping credit cycles in the expansion phase for a long time, market interventions such as interest rate cuts and credit guaranteed loans had an impact only in the very short term.

How fairly national income is shared is as important as the increase and continuity of national income in ensuring social welfare. Income distribution, which occurs in the market and is described as primary distribution, is often criticized as being unfair. For this reason, the state redistributes income in order to ensure justice in income distribution. One of the most effective tools in redistributing income by the state is transfer expenditures. However, transfer expenditures are carried out in different ways depending on their subtypes, and not all of them have an improving effect on income distribution. Today, ensuring justice in income distribution is a very important goal in both developed and developing countries, and transfer expenditures are among the basic tools used in this direction. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of transfer expenditures on income distribution on a country group basis, based on the Gini coefficient. In this context, it is seen that the share of transfer expenditures in total public expenditures is higher in developed countries than in developing countries. It has also been determined that the share of social aid in transfer expenditures is higher in developed countries than in developing countries. It is seen that the transfer expenditures of countries and the shares allocated to their subtypes are reflected in the Gini coefficients. Accordingly, income distribution in developed countries has a more egalitarian structure than in developing countries. In country-specific evaluations, the reflection of the share of social expenditures on the Gini coefficients is directly proportional to what is expected in theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a significant change and development process in the 21st century. One of the most important developments of this century, which is called the digitalization age, is undoubtedly the effective use of artificial intelligence. Although there are many question marks regarding the application of artificial intelligence, which is one of the most important parts of digitalization, artificial intelligence provides significant advantages. Artificial intelligence is applied in the field of public administration as well as in many other fields and adds an important dimension to the research in this field. Today, many public institutions integrate digital applications such as artificial intelligence into their bodies and make effective use of these applications in order to adapt to the changing and developing world and to meet the demands and expectations of citizens. The purpose of this study, which was conducted with the literature review method, is to show the place and importance of artificial intelligence applications in public administration, which enable faster and more effective presentation of transactions.

In our changing and developing world, areas of social impact are also evolving. With the advent of computers and the internet, individuals have begun exploring new virtual environments. People now have the opportunity to create and develop virtual identities, conveying them through digital codes. Although real-world identities have stable elements, virtual identities are transforming, transcending time and space. Virtual identity can now be structured by adding or removing desired attributes. Social characteristics and group formations are being transferred to the virtual realm, forming virtual communities. Membership in these virtual communities, associated with a sense of belonging, represents a new phenomenon called virtual belonging. This study highlights virtual belonging, contrasting with the often-discussed outcomes of isolation and detachment from society in virtuality studies. The focus is on virtual identities and belonging, aiming to make a significant contribution to the field in our digitizing world. By exploring such a topic, which is gaining new dimensions, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the evolving nature of social connections and identity in the digital age.

The Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) contributed to the easing of Cold War tensions, the democratization of the United Nations (UN) and international relations, the integration of Third World countries into the international system and a positive change in the international agenda by advocating values such as independence, self-determination, equality and cooperation against strict commitment to bloc politics, polarization, and spheres of influence which characterized Cold War Politics. NAM also made contributions to the establishment of disarmament agendas, disarmament agreements, and the détente of conflicts through mediation activities by advocating values such as disarmament, peaceful coexistence and non-violent international relations against the arms race, nuclear weapons, military pacts, foreign bases and proxy wars which characterized the military structure of the Cold War era. Thanks to the NAM, which increased its membership by instilling its values into other states, the Cold War was prevented from spreading to a wider area. However, the leadership changes in the NAM member states, the differentiation in national interests and regional transformations led to a decrease in the effectiveness of NAM in Cold War politics, and the end of the Cold War led to discussions about the existence of NAM. Even though it is argued that with the end of the Cold War, the raison d’être of the NAM vanished, current developments, such as the US-China rivalry and the inter-bloc tensions that emerged in the international system after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, could revitalize the NAM. Based on all these points, the possibilities and constraints for Non-Alignment 2.0 in the 21st century based on the effectiveness of NAM during the Cold War was studied in this work.

The need for infrastructure in developing countries is much higher than in developed countries. On the other hand, more than one third of the resources spent on investments are lost due to inefficient processes. When there are institutional weaknesses in addition to financial inadequacies, simply finding resources for infrastructure investment is insufficient to solve the problem. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to make qualified and efficient infrastructure investments. In recent years, the idea that infrastructure investments should focus not only on the outcome but also on the process has been reflected in infrastructure governance. This study analyzes the impact of institutional development on infrastructure investments in developing countries using fixed effect panel data method. The level of governance, rule of law and control of corruption are included in the analysis as three different institutional indicators. According to the findings, an increase in the level of governance, control of corruption and rule of law positively affects infrastructure investments. Therefore, it is concluded that investment decisions taken in line with infrastructure governance will prevent public waste and provide efficient and quality infrastructure services.

The paper assessed the effect of economic policy on the effects of aid to agricultural production and consumption on agricultural growth in developing countries. We used data from a panel of 117 countries from 1996 to 2020 fitted to a GMM estimator. We found that both aid-to-production and aid-for-consumption discourage agricultural growth. Economic policy independently enhances agricultural growth. Foreign direct investment promotes agricultural growth. In the presence of economic policy, whilst aid-to-production did not discourage agricultural growth, it worsened the effect of aid-to-consumption on agricultural growth. Among other recommendations, developing countries should seek less foreign aid-toproduction and more FDI into agricultural production as both the former and the latter would increase agricultural growth. Governments in developing countries must enhance trade and macroeconomic policies and promote FDI as this would increase agricultural growth.

Ekonomik büyümenin önemli belirleyicilerinden biri olarak yatırımların finansmanı yurtiçi tasarruflar tarafından karşılanmasının yanı sıra kapitalist iktisadi sistemin küresel entegrasyonu arttıkça yatırımların dış tasarruflara olan bağımlılığı da artırmaktadır. Çalışma, literatürde Feldstein ve Horioka (1980) çalışması ile ortaya konan uluslararası sermaye hareketliliği arttıkça yatırım ve tasarruf arasındaki güçlü ilişkinin zayıfladığına ilişkin teorik çerçevenin geçerli olmadığına yönelik ampirik bulgulara dayanan hipotezi ekonomik küreselleşme olgusunu dikkate alarak yeniden ele almaktadır. Bu ilişkinin araştırılmasında literatürde sıklıkla çalışılan OECD ülkeleri ya da gelişmiş ekonomilerin dışında son kırk yılda küresel iktisadi kalkınmanın itici gücü olan gelişmekte olan ülke ekonomileri çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada yapısal değişimleri modele içsel olarak yerleştiren Fourier panel eşbütünleşme testi ve nedensellik analizleri yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar gelişmekte olan ülkelerde yatırımların tasarruflara bağımlılığın ülkelere göre değişiklik göstermesine rağmen yatırımların tasarruf tutma katsayısının gelişmiş ülkelere nispeten düşük olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca bulgular yatırımların gelişmekte olan ülkelerin küresel kapitalist iktisadi sisteme entegrasyon derecesi ile anlamlı ilişkinin olmadığını, FH hipotezinde yer alan çelişkinin gelişmekte olan ülkeler için geçerli olduğunu göstermektedir.

This study analyzes the development, institutionalization, and globalization of the LGBT movement and also examines how the movement has been constructed in the context of rights discourses and implemented as a civilization project. The main question this study examines is, "How has situating gay rights in the context of human rights discourse reflected onto strengthening Western hegemony over the global South?" In this context, the study first descriptively analyzes the development, institutionalization, and globalization of the LGBT movement in the 20th century, then critically analyzes the globalization of the gay movement and the process of it being supported by international, transnational, and supranational institutions. Lastly, the study will question how the rights discourse of the gay movement has been constructed as a civilization project, as well as its functionality in maintaining Western hegemony. The article will use academic literature, reports, and public research in this respect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organizations formed by states to achieve their political goals play an important role in the international environment. The Organization of Turkic States, which was established in 2021, is one of them. It is seen that the foundations of the organization, formerly known as the Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking Countries, were laid in 2009. It is possible to say that the main purpose of the organization is to increase the relationship between the Turkish states. This study touches upon the subjects of Turkey's geopolitical foreign policy leaning toward Turkic geography and the Organization of Turkic States having an international institutional identity. Information was given about the formation of the Organization of Turkic States, which was chosen as an international organization in the foreign policy of the Republic of Turkey, its institutional structure, and the potential of member and observer countries, and the organization was introduced within certain limits. In the study, a literature review covering written text, internet sources, official newspapers, and institutional content was used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of the information society in the 1990s, the source of technological development began to be knowledge and human capital. The aim of this study is to examine the role of knowledge-based intellectual capital, which creates an important value especially for businesses, in the development process with a macro approach. The study examined the 2001-2021 period for economies of ten developing countries (Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Poland, Romania, South Africa, India, and Indonesia) using the variables of R&D expenditures, bureaucratic quality index, and education index as intellectual capital components. According to the results of panel ARDL analysis used to determine the effect in question, there is a positive and significant relationship between intellectual capital components on the development level of countries in both short and long terms. In addition, a bidirectional causality relationship is determined between intellectual capital variables and economic development. It can be stated that investments that countries make in their intellectual capital are an important determinant of their level of development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this qualitative study, the reflection of private security on internal security is mainly discussed through the "private securitization" concept and its position in the theoretical pool. The main argument of the study is "Private security, which is seen as one of the consequences of stressful and risky lifestyles, has reached a controversial quantity by being introduced into even the most secluded points of life with its predominantly Westernized quality and quantity that different security theories can justify." The main findings of the research are as follows: Private security has a high share in securitization; the quality-quantity balance of the sector in developed and developing countries varies; there is a need for a globally branded structure in the service; Turkey has the opportunity to restructure the sector through ancient security codes; and finally, if the current perspective of private security, which contains double standards, is maintained, there are risks that may be swung away from the legitimate ground at any time. As a result, it is concluded that "Private security cannot achieve a service standard of comprehensive effectiveness and efficiency without a trainingoriented improvement". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Terrorism increases the national risk on an economic, political, and social scale. It has a negative impact on individual well-being and quality of life. Defense spending is important to countries' stability, protection from internal and external risks, and confidence. Countries spend more on defense to reduce risks and increase welfare. This study examines the relationship between 1996-2019 data and Turkey's terror and defense spending. According to the results of the Lee-Strazicich test, the variables are sensitive to structural rupture and contain a unit root with structural breaks. According to ARDL results, the long-run association between terrorism and defense spending is negative and statistically significant. A short-run analysis of the variables did not yield any meaningful results. Our research shows that defense spending reduces terror attacks and is effective. However, political or military measures alone are not enough to solve the phenomenon of terrorism. Stability is an essential part of the fight against terrorism. The effectiveness of the precaution to be taken within the framework of social, political, and economic policies in the fight against terrorism is crucial in terms of solving the problem. It is seen that one of the biggest obstacles to the economic development of developing countries such as Turkey is terrorist incidents and the negative effects of terrorism on the economies of the country. Also, as a result of the research, it was concluded that Turkey's fight against terrorism suffered economically and socially and had to invest in defense expenditures the fight terrorism. This research concludes that the relationship between terrorism and defense spending in Turkey needs to be further examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The global economy has supported in increasing the level of competition to significant levels, especially in the foreign trade of developing countries. In order to achieve sustainable development and growth for countries, export and, as a natural result of it, competitiveness in exports have become an important factor. The aim of this study is to determine Turkey's cotton and wheat export competitive power and then compare with competitive power of the international organizations such as OECD, EU and G7. Comparing Turkey with these organizations means comparing Turkey with developed countries since these countries are members of the aforementioned organizations. For this purpose, the Revealed Comparative Advantage approach, developed by Balassa have been employed. The analysis is applied by calculating the Revealed Competitive Advantage index values of Turkey and selected international organizations for the period 2015-2021. According to the results of the analysis, Turkey's cotton export competitiveness has tended to decrease systematically since 2016. Despite this, Turkey's cotton export competitiveness is well above the average of all selected organizations in all years. On the other hand, wheat export competitiveness does not show any significant change over the years and has a permanent tendency to underperform. For that matter, it can even be interpreted as giving a warning signal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to improve current account deficit, exchange rate policy has been frequently used by policymakers. Therefore, the effect of exchange rate on exports has been well-studied in literature. This paper aims to estimate real exchange rate elasticities of export outcomes (unit value, quantity, and value) using six-digit HS product level data for Turkey and selected countries. Our results show that price elasticity of exports is low, but quantity elasticity is high in most selected countries. This indicates that the exchange rate is affected by export amount. On the other hand, these results vary among different sub-sectors and destination country groups. These findings imply that exchange rate policy should be cautiously designed to avoid unexpected consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The integration of countries' financial markets shows whether investors will be exposed to global or local risk factors in international financial asset investments. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate the level of financial integration of developed and developing countries with global markets. In the study, the financial market integration of 65 countries was calculated using the correlation approach and the International Capital Asset Pricing Model-based approach. According to these approaches, it shows that the integration of developed and developing countries with global markets is not complete. For this reason, investors have to consider both global and local risk factors in investments made in the countries that are the subject of the analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globalization, which has become increasingly widespread and influential in various domains, continues to be a determining actor in the new world order and its fundamental foundations. The concept of public service and its relevant theories and developments in Turkish public administration have also been affected by this process. Turkish public administration, particularly influenced by the changes and transformations in developed countries and guided by global actors, has become integrated into the process of change and transformation in the field of governance. In this article, the conceptual framework related to public service is outlined, followed by information on liberalization, localization of services, privatization, and the new understanding of public service in the context of change and transformation. The final section of the article provides a brief evaluation of the most common modern management practices (Total Quality Management, Strategic Management, Performance Management, and Human Resources Management) observed in the process of public service in Turkish public administration shaped by this paradigm shift.

In order to develop sustainable models for agricultural land, its changing structure and land management, it is necessary to determine and evaluate the parameters that cause temporal change and to use them. With the contribution of remote sensing (UA) and Geographic Information System (GIS), suitable models for agricultural lands can be developed. In this study, changes in agricultural areas, a sample area was selected within the borders of the Centre District of Çorum Province, located in the Central Black Sea Region, and the analyzes obtained by writing the relevant codes for data mining operations of remotely sensed data via Google Earth Engine platform and webGIS applications were examined. With the Terra Climate application, monthly climate and climatic water balance data and monthly climate change for 2020 were examined. Land classification was made with the Sentinel-2 data, and the densities and plant health of the plants were determined with the band combinations. To determine the changes in plants, seven different index values for 2021 were calculated; Changes in vegetation, moisture and water content in agricultural lands were evaluated. When the results obtained are examined; In the agricultural lands in the sample area, the highest temperature in the land heat exchange occurs in September and the lowest temperature is in 2021 February, the vegetation cover in the agricultural lands, while it has a moderately healthy plant density in 2021 April, May and June, it has been determined that it has unhealthy and weak plant density in 2021 October, November and December. From the examination of the climate data, it was seen that the precipitation values decreased considerably in the summer months and increased in the winter months, considering the climatic characteristics of the region. According to the 2021 climate report of the General Directorate of Meteorology, the average temperature of the ground surface in Turkey in 2020 was 14.9°C, while it was determined that this temperature was 19.01°C above the average value in the study area.

In the globalization literature, efficiency and compensation hypotheses are widely discussed and analyzed empirically. In this study, validity of the efficiency and compensation hypotheses for twelve different public expenditures is tested. Analyzes related with five different globalization indexes (general globalization, economic globalization, political globalization, cultural globalization and social globalization index) were performed. The period after the collapse of the Berlin wall when globalization was most intense (the post-1989 period, which is called the hyper-globalization period) was chosen as the period of the study, and the analyzes were carried out using unbalanced panel data set and two-way fixed effect models for the sample of developing countries. In addition, in the models of the study all variables were used in their stationary state. According to the results obtained from the analyzes performed for the five different types of globalization, statistically significant positive coefficients were intensely obtained and therefore, it was observed that the compensation hypothesis was predominantly valid.

There has been an increase in the number of recent studies on the determinants of renewable energy and its relationship with various macroeconomic variables. One of these macroeconomic variables is foreign direct investment, which is an important source of foreign financing for developing countries. In this study, the relationship between renewable energy use and foreign direct investments in Turkiye for the period 1990-2019 is empirically examined. In this context, the validity for Turkiye of the Pollution Halo Hypothesis and the Pollution Havens Hypothesis, which theoretically explain the relationship between the two variables, is also tested. As a result of the analyzes made with RALS-EG and RALS-EG2 cointegration tests, no cointegration relationship is found between renewable energy use and foreign direct investments. Therefore, it is concluded that the mentioned hypotheses are not valid for Turkiye in the long run. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main purpose of this study is to detect the mediation effect of the logistic performance index in the relationship between the enabling trade index and the volume of foreign trade. the simple mediation model was created by using the enabling trade index published by the World Economic Forum, the logistics performance index published by the World Bank, and the foreign trade volume data of the countries. The study used 94 countries' data for the years 2016, 2014, and 2012, compiled 282 samples in total. In the application part of the study, the correlation coefficients between variables were determined with IBM SPSS 20 Package Program, and then a simple mediation analysis was performed using PROCESS 3.5 macro developed by Andrew F. Hayes. According to the findings obtained as a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the logistics performance index mediates the relationship between the enabling trade index and the foreign trade volume. The fully standardized effect size of the mediation effect (K2) was determined as .5564, and it was revealed that the mediating role was at a high effect level. In addition, the indirect effect value (a. b) is determined as 6.670. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
