The main objective of the book is to evaluate the impact of
education programs targeting women's reproductive health, initiated
and sponsored by Willows International. The book focuses on Turkey,
and the fi eldwork was carried out in Istanbul. The analyses of
Turkey's cultural values and their relation to reproductive
attitudes and behavior are a unique contribution based on the fi
ndings of a recent nationwide survey while the chapter on the
historical background of Turkey's family planning policies provides
a useful background to interpret the fi ndings from the field. The
book will serve as a reference and a useful resource for scholars
and policymakers interested in family planning and reproductive
health in Turkey as well as those with a broader and theoretical
perspective.
Social Values and Identities in the Black Sea Region focuses on the
nexus between geopolitical challenges and cultural framework in the
Black Sea region. The volume shows how the common inheritance
interferes with different religious and political institutional
backgrounds, fostering the formation of a particular cultural area.
The interdisciplinary approach combines contributions from the
domains of sociology, political science, international relations,
and security studies and employs qualitative and quantitative
analyses.
Values - elites and ordinary people This book reveals the diverse
worlds of history, civic culture and values of South Africa, South
Korea, Chile, Poland, Turkey, Germany and Sweden. It explores the
similarities and contrasts between the values of the elites and the
ordinary people. Written from various disciplinary perspectives and
offering both empirical evidence and insiders' knowledge, this book
is bound to interest a wide variety of readers. The study on which
the book reports was in the main based on analyses of value
orientations of the parliamentary and media elites and those of the
ordinary citizens. The data for the elites were obtained from
surveys conducted for the purposes of the study; the data for the
general population were drawn from the latest World Values Surveys.
The volume is divided into two parts. The first part, entitled
Theory and history, considers the quality of democracy in the
context of the historical and cultural heritage of the seven
countries, their civic culture and notions of citizenship, and
their constitutions as foundations of the democratic political
order. The second part of the book, entitled Theory and empiricism,
assesses the quality of democracy by means of comparative analyses
of the convergence and divergence in value orientations of the
elites and the masses, both within each case and across all the
seven cases.
