Turkey and Russia are countries with growing international
importance. Turkish-Russian Relations: Prospects and Challenges
analyzes Turkish-Russian relations from multiple perspectives in
order to better understand the multifaceted arenas of their
cooperation and how these relations may affect the collaboration
with other countries. The first part of this book starts with a
geopolitical analysis of Turkish-Russian relations in the context
of the Middle East and then delves into the origin of these
relations with reference to Cold War realities still in play today.
The next part of the book analyzes the Turkish-Russian relations in
terms of micro-level studies, with special reference to mass media,
suicide, and migration, to give color to a dynamic and constantly
changing geopolitical relationship.
This study is an effort to reveal how patriarchy is embedded in
different societal and state structures, including the economy,
juvenile penal justice system, popular culture, economic sphere,
ethnic minorities, and social movements in Turkey. All the articles
share the common ground that the political and economic sphere,
societal values, and culture produce conservatism regenerate
patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity in both society and the state
sphere. This situation imprisons women within their houses and
makes non-heterosexuals invisible in the public sphere, thereby
preserving the hegemony of men in the public sphere by which this
male-dominated mentality or namely hegemonic masculinity excludes
all forms of others and tries to preserve hierarchical structures.
In this regard, the citizenship and the gender regime bound to each
other function as an exclusion mechanism that prevents tolerance
and pluralism in society and the political sphere.

International migration has been subject to many studies, conducted
by academics, students, policy makers, and in civil society. As the
migration flows continue to increase amongst countries, new
dynamics shape international politics, economy, and culture. In
this context, the main purpose of this book is to present a
contemporary understanding of international migration through an
interdisciplinary analysis. The authors investigate migration and
its dynamics in different perspectives (cultural, economic,
political, judicial, and sociological) by considering the latest
changes in the international relations agenda. This book sheds
light on different minor aspects of international migration in a
critical perspective.
Greek-Turkish relations, despite some detente periods in their
shared history, have been generally characterized by hostility and
antagonism. But a significant breakthrough in Greek-Turkish
relations was achieved in 1999, although certain signs of
rapprochement were already present in the pre-1999 period. This
date initiated a new era between the two countries thanks to a
series of important events, such as the Helsinki summit, the
earthquakes that occurred in 1999 in Turkey and in Greece, and the
common initiatives of the Greek and Turkish Ministers of Foreign
Affairs. Since then, bilateral relations have changed direction
toward the positive. In order to better understand contemporary
Greek-Turkish relations, this book covers a number of different
aspects including the current state of minorities, the development
of the contemporary Turkish national discourse, the narratives of
friendship between the two nations, the influence of electronic
media for the reconciliation process, and the role of civil actors
for changing the perception of the "other." In a period where
Greece is struggling to overcome its chronic financial problems and
Turkey is being shaped by major political events, the relations
between the two countries become highly important, especially in
addition to their geographical position near a destabilized
geopolitical region. This book is addressed to anyone who is
interested in understanding the relations between Greece and Turkey
today and in forecasting their future relations-and, by
consequence, the future of the eastern Mediterranean area.
Based on case studies, this book analyzes a recent wave of social
movement and protests in the twenty-first century. It has two
overarching broadly defined themes: first, to identify
commonalities across the social movements and protests in terms of
strategies, desire, hopes as well as the main factors in the
decline of the movements. And second, to underline the significance
of the general economic, social, and political conditions in which
these protests arose. Although there are specific national and
local context-specific reasons for the protests observed in
different countries, the gradual integration of the post-war
neo-liberal hegemonic world order is the fundamental overarching
structural factor behind these protests. From Turkey to Spain,
Greece to Mexico, and the Netherlands to the U.S., this book
observes that the "outsiders" of the system resist against the
oppression of the neo-liberal world system.
