The purpose of this review article is to provide a critical analysis of some of the environmentalist practices developed during the tackle ecological degradation, as well as to evaluate the petty-bourgeois character of these practices. Initially, the article explains that capitalist production-consumption relations are primarily responsible for the observed climate changes in our era. After that, the character of the petty bourgeois, the consumer individual of late capitalism, is discussed in the context of Bourdieusian theory. To empirically explore the social dimensions of petty bourgeois environmentalism, this paper analyzes data from a targeted field research project conducted with residents of two distinct socioeconomic categories within Ankara. The research data employed within the article constitutes a limited subset derived from the broader data repository established by Feyza Korkmaz Saglam during her field research in 2021 July, conducted as part of her doctoral study. The findings, acquired through the application of Bourdieu’s Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) technique, reveal the utilization of environmentalist consumerism as a class differentiator, contributing to the perpetuation of capitalist production-consumption relations rather than challenging them.

The variability in the price of a financial asset is called volatility and is often measured with a standard deviation. Empirical studies have shown that many financial asset returns exhibit fat tails (leptokurtosis) and are often characterized by volatility clustering and asymmetry. The aim of this study is to determine the asymmetric GARCH-type modeling of the exchange rates of Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia, which constitute the Eurasian Economic Union as of January 1, 2015, as well as to determine the return time to the mean after the shocks. The return series obtained over the daily closing prices of the exchange rates of the countries in question between December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2023 were analyzed using the EGARCH method and the return to mean were calculated.

Azerbaijan is a fossil fuel exporter that the EU has paid special attention to since it began prioritizing energy security. This study analyzes the EU’s positioning of Azerbaijan within its foreign energy policy. The article presents a chronological analysis of the significant events and dynamics of the past two decades from both EU and Azerbaijan perspectives, with reference largely to official documents. The gradual rise of Azerbaijan on the EU energy agenda is attributed to the EU’s dependence on Russian fossil resources and the Russia-Ukraine energy crises. The article also focuses on the specific example of how Azerbaijan’s advantage in energy bargaining has created an exception in the EU’s normative neighborhood relations. Most recently, this energy partnership relationship has been evolving to include non-fossil resources as well.

Cross-country studies on energy system policies have reached significant potential as a result of renewable energy resources and effects. Here, developments are evaluated especially on different characteristics of countries such as strategies, technological developments and environmental effects of energy. The scope and quality of these studies over China has changed, first of all, in 2001, according to economic studies and the legally protected features of investments in the diversity of renewable energy resources. Utilization of these energy resources was increased by providing various tax incentives to the sectors. The main targets in this direction can be stated as the goal of both maintaining the world leadership position in the field of economy, reducing environmental damage and ending dependence on imports by using the country’s resources. In the research, topics such as the effects/results/developments of China’s strategies and targets were mentioned and certain inferences were made.

Green Keynesian Economics, which is a postmodern reflection of Keynesian economic thought, suggests that negativities, which are possible for environmental problems causing climate change to lead to, should be solved by active role public sector will undertake. As known, carbon emissions, emitted to atmosphere in global scale, may cause climate change via greenhouse effect. This case leads country economies to face to a set of problems. Green Keynesian Economics suggests a mix of simultaneous sustainable policies as a solution for a set of problems under consideration. The aim of this study is to suggest a financial instrument taking place in the scope of Green Keynesian School for Türkiye targeting to achieve net zero carbon emission as of the year 2053.
