Weber defined the authority that gave legitimacy to power based on the concept of sovereignty and tried to understand the level of awareness of the individual’s social actions. Together with the phenomenon of power, who played an active role in the strategic platform formed at the same time the hegemony of the authority. The playmakers, who are the active subjects of International Relations, produce proactive-structural policies considering the power balances. In this context, the Black Sea and the Caspian Basin are not only affected by energy, politics and power policies on geopolitical axes but also affect these policies. Turkey is strengthening its central position taking an active role in the Black Sea and the Caspian Basin energy and stability policies for the balance of power in the Eurasian axis . In this study, on the scale of the Black Sea and the Caspian Basin; in terms of Turkey, regional and global actors in energy policies, geopolitics and the balance of power will be examined.

The Gini coefficient which measures the unfair distribution of income is a value between 0 and 1. As the index value approaches to 1, unfairness increases and as it approaches to 0, income distribution becomes fairer. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of real interest on income distribution in 5 developing countries which are close to each other in terms of real per capita income with panel data analysis. In this context, since the data of 2000-2016 include cross sectional dependency, second generation panel root tests were used. Since the series are stable on different levels, ARDL model was utilized. Then, the coefficient between the variables were determined by using the PMG estimator and causality analysis was conducted. According to the result of the study, although there isn’t a short-term relationship between the variables, there is a cointegrated relationship in long-term. Furthermore, according to the PMG estimator, an increase of 1 unit, increases the Gini coefficient by 0.007. Since the conducted causality analysis was resulted in accordance with the Gini coefficient from real interests, it verifies this result. Since the increase in real interests increases the Gini coefficient, real interests should be decreased for a more fair income distribution, according to the result of this study.

The democratization process in Africa opened up space for the emergence of several political parties across the continent as most countries moved from one-party rule to multi-party democracy. This tectonic shift signaled a new beginning in the political arena, and there were expectations that equal representation in the political sphere would be a by-product of the democratization process. This paper underscores the challenge of gender inequality in representative politics and as it would be expected in patriarchal societies; women shoulder the brunt of marginalization in the political arena. It argues that despite the inclusion of gender-responsive texts in political parties’ manifestoes and constitution, the gender gap is still burgeoning. It recommends that political parties should come up with pragmatic strategies to enhance gender equality and cease to include gender texts as mere political rhetoric.

With the forced migration of traditional media to the internet environment, rating competition in televisions and circulation competition in newspapers have become the competition of being the most-clicked on the internet. In fact, this competition was seen as a struggle to survive for news sites. However, this approach worked up producing/making news with the “no matter how, as long as it is clicked” logic in internet journalism. Especially headlines were started to be created in a way which threaten, frighten and cause concern in the reader, beyond arousing curiosity. Unfortunately, this understanding meant ignoring the journalism principles and ethical orders as well as deceiving the readers. In these kind of news reports which are produced with the concern of being widely clicked and read, readers are literally forced to read those news reports since an expectation is created for them by using titles that are more assertive than it already is, which generally address to the feelings of the reader and discuss subjects that are controversial in terms of newsworthiness. In the news, frightening, worrisome, disconcerting and over-thrilling language and wording are used as well as misleading information and noncompliance between the title and the content. The news reports that are produced with this understanding deceive the readers and discredit internet journalism and internet news. The aim of this study is to put forward the creation of a new journalism understanding which frightens, almost threatens and causes worry in the reader (compels them to read) in internet journalism. Within the scope of the research, 5 most followed internet sites in Turkey, according to the web traffic measurements of Alexa (Top Sites in Turkey) for December 2018, were monitored for 2 months. The compliance between the titles and news reports in these news sites were analyzed along with the language and wording, by examining certain news reports that are created and published in a way which threatens, frightens, causes anxiety or worry in the reader . The literature related to the subject was utilized as well.

The Dutch disease which emerges as a result of suddenly finding a large amount of commercially valuable mines, is an economical issue which has an effect on various macroeconomic variables, notably on foreign exchange rate. Although in theory, the Dutch disease is defined as a problem caused by foreign currency which is acquired by the detection and exportation of valuable mines in the long term, it is possible for other economic developments which provide inflow of foreign currency to the country to have economical effects on the national economy that are similar to the effects of the Dutch disease. In our study in which we question the existence of the Dutch disease due to the inflow of foreign currency through various channels, the effects of portfolio investments and export revenues on manufacturing industry sector were analyzed in terms of the hypothesis of the Dutch disease by using the quarterly data of 2005:Q1-2018:Q4, obtained from the Electronic Data Delivery System (EDDS) of The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) and by using Toda-Yamamoto causality test. As a result of the analysis, there wasn’t a causal relationship between manufacturing industry and portfolio investments and exports. For this reason, it was concluded that the Dutch disease is out of the question for Turkey’s economy.

Participation Banks are an alternative financial institution that contributes to the development and deepening of the financial system in the Turkish Banking Sector. In this study, the relationship between participation banks, non-performing loans, gross domestic product, and asset size in the period 2005: Q1-2018: Q2 was investigated by using the co-integration, Granger causality tests and regression analysis methods. The results of the Granger causality test show that there is a one-way causality relationship between non-performing loans to gross domestic product and the gross domestic product to asset size, but there is a double causality relationship between non-performing loans and asset size. In the results of empirical analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between both gross domestic product and asset size, and non-performing loans. In this context, it is determined that there is a negative relationship between non-performing loans and gross domestic product. On the other hand, it was determined that the asset size of the participation banking sector increased and the non-performing loans were affected in the same direction.

In the contemporary world, the increase in the number of people, who have become asylum seekers and refugees involves many humanitarian tragedies. The escape from a life in the shade of oppression and violence with the only hope of having a better life may sometimes result in a fatal end. Even though one of the target destinations of this type of migration is the Western countries, asylum seekers and refugees are seen as persona non grata in these countries. In this respect, the asylum seeker and refugee crisis, which constitutes the general scope of this paper, will be discussed and analyzed from a humanitarian perspective by considering the reactions of the Western countries to this problem. Today, this problem causes many political debates and crises in the Western countries. The rise of extreme right in the Western world is one of the biggest obstacles to adopt a humanitarian approach to this problem. At this point, the main argument of this paper is that the reactions towards the asylum seekers and refugees in the Western countries have a neo-racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic tendency, and that the current socio-political conjuncture seriously threatens the hopes of those people with different cultural, religious, linguistic or ethnic origin, who seek a peaceful coexistence in the world.

At the beginning of the modern period in the West, positive aspects of modernity, such as freedom, welfare, industrialization, scientific progress and technological advancements, were underlined, while the potential side effects of the contemporary modernity were overlooked. When the side effects of modernity started to emerge in the nineties, the Enlightenment thinkers suggested that modernity could have no side effects and, even if it did, those side effects could be eliminated through the means provided by modern life. In the nineties, the restrictive, standardizing and binding side effects of modernity, which consequently caused the alienation of men, began to make their presence felt to an unignorable extent. The extreme standardization imposed on people by capitalism, the production method of modern life, resulted in the disappearance of individual differences by time and the appearance of highly resembling individuals, which led to a kind of alienation in the sense of growing distant from the varietal characteristics of human. Such a self-alienated individual, the subject of whom is dead, has embarked on a struggle for existence. However, the self-alienated individual struggles by using the tools of capitalism and by remaining within the modern life, which turns the struggle into a show, rather than a true struggle. In brief, the individual’s reaction to the “as if” life imposed by the modern life appears as an “as if” reaction. This study focuses on the modern life’s process that involves creating resembling individuals and killing the subject, and the consequential “as if” life of the individual as a struggle for existence at the end of that process; false appearance (exhibition).
