Limon, Onur; Gurdal Limon, Elif; Caymaz, Ebru; Demirayak, Ozgur; Dal, Adnan; Özsoy, Burcu
This article examines T & uuml;rkiye's participation in the Second International Polar Year (IPY-II, 1932-1933) as a historically grounded and underexplored case of early science diplomacy. IPY-II coordinated interdisciplinary polar research across forty-four countries, and T & uuml;rkiye's involvement during the early Republican period offers fresh insight into interwar scientific cooperation. The article documents T & uuml;rkiye's scientific and institutional contributions and analyses them through the reciprocal framework of science impacting diplomacy and diplomacy impacting science. Drawing on archival documents, official correspondence, parliamentary records, and contemporary newspapers, supplemented by expert interviews, it assesses the case against an explicit definition of science diplomacy. T & uuml;rkiye's meteorological data, later incorporated into the synoptic weather maps of the Northern Hemisphere, were scientifically significant, institutionally coordinated, and internationally recognised, yet shaped by asymmetrical hierarchies. The case enriches the historical understanding of science diplomacy by non-hegemonic states.

Sahin, Fatih
University-industry collaborations have gained increasing recognition as a key indicator of innovation ecosystems in recent years. However, existing literature often overlooks the expanding and diversifying roles of universities, focusing primarily on their impact on innovation. This study seeks to address this gap by exploring the effects of university-industry collaborations on outward foreign direct investment (FDI) activities in underdeveloped and developing countries, which face significant disadvantages in terms of technological and innovative resources. Additionally, it examines the regulatory role of the quality of the education system, which is believed to influence the effectiveness of these collaborations in fostering outward FDI. Using a sample of 80 underdeveloped and developing countries, panel regression analysis was conducted on secondary data covering the years 2013-2022. The findings reveal that university-industry collaborations positively influence crossborder investments, with these effects being stronger in countries with higher levels of education expenditures. These positive effects, however, disappear in contexts where education expenditures are low. This study makes important theoretical contributions to the and developing countries, highlighting the significance of university collaborations and the education system, in contrast to firm-specific resources. It also provides valuable policy recommendations for decision-makers in these countries.

Kolcu, Veysel Karani; Mızrak, Sefa
National capacity may be insufficient for disasters that affect many settlements and people simultaneously. This situation requires international humanitarian assistance for post-disaster search and rescue, public health, nutrition, security, and coordination. The objective of this study was to reveal the opinions of first responders about the work of the (international search and rescue) ISAR teams following the earthquakes that occurred in Türkiye on 6 February 2023. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form with 41 first responders who had worked with them or observed their work, and analyzed via thematic analysis using the MAXQDA 24 programme. The results were presented under seven themes: devotion, equipment and material sufficiency, knowledge and experience, coordination, cooperation, communication, and psychological resilience. The first responders stated that the ISAR teams worked wholeheartedly and that their knowledge, expertise, and equipment were sufficient and advanced. They also indicated that the teams worked in a coordinated manner and that their harmony with local teams and the public was great. However, when working with them, language-related communication barriers negatively affected the workflow. The results of this study will provide insight to organisations and managers who develop and implement international humanitarian aid policies.

Ayaydin, Hasan; Ergün, Tolga; Barut, Abdulkadir; Erdem, Azad; Pilatin, Abdulmuttalip
The increasing emphasis on climate change and environmental sustainability worldwide has brought about the convergence and increased focus on financial technologies (FinTech) and green energy initiatives. In light of this, the study's objective is to investigate how FinTech moderates the relationship between the ecological footprint (EF) and green energy transition (GTE) in the BRICS-T nations between 1990 and 2021. This study examines how fintech moderated the GTE and EF in the BRICS-T from 1990 to 2021. We applied the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and used Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) as the main estimators for longitudinal analysis. In contrast, Driscoll-Kraay was used to verify the robustness of the results under cross-sectional dependence and heteroskedasticity. The results reveal that FinTech indirectly hinders EF by facilitating GTE. The outcomes also show that FinTech significantly constrains EF, while GDP and industrialization worsen EF. The results also confirm the important role of GTE and foreign direct investment (FDI) in reducing CO2 emissions in BRICS-T countries. Lastly, the paper offers policymakers useful recommendations for lowering EF in light of these outcomes. The study suggests establishing appropriate policies and strategies that encourage FinTech platforms to invest in green energy projects, including financial technology, promoting energy-efficient and low-carbon foreign direct investment, and encouraging GTE.

Yıldız, Barış; Yildiz, Gizem
Son yıllarda pek çok uluslararası kuruluş ve araştırmacı tarafından az gelişmiş ve/veya gelişmekte olan ülkelerin üretkenlik kapasitelerinin nasıl arttırılacağı konusu tartışılmaktadır. Kalkınma yardımları, bu ülkelerin üretkenlik kapasitelerini önemli ölçüde etkileyen faktörlerden biridir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, sektörel kalkınma yardımlarının üretkenlik kapasitesi üzerinde bir etkisi olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Çalışma 2002-2018 dönemini ve 84 ülkeyi kapsamaktadır. Panel veri yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilen bulgulara göre sosyal altyapı ve hizmet yardımları, üretkenlik kapasitesini istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif, üretim sektörleri yardımları ise anlamlı ve pozitif etkilemektedir. Ekonomik altyapı ve hizmet yardımları ve çeşitli sektör yardımlarına ilişkin ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir bulgu elde edilememiştir. Modelde kontrol değişken olarak kullanılan kişi başı gayrisafi yurtiçi hasıla (GSYH), işgücüne katılım oranı ve ticari açıklık, üretkenlik kapasitesini istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif etkilemektedir.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2024Entegre KFG Yöntemi ile İnsani Yardım Lojistiğinde Karşılaşılan Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri: Hatay Örneği
Peker, İskender; Ayvazoglu, Gülsah
Son yıllarda yaşanan olağanüstü durumlar ve insani krizler, insani yardım lojistiği alanında yapılan çalışmaların sayısını artırmıştır. Dünya genelinde ve ülkemizde meydana gelen afetlerde, insani yardım lojistiğinde yaşanılan sorunlar için çeşitli çözümler üretilmeye çalışılmışsa da bu çözümler genellikle bölgesel ihtiyaçlara uygun olmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Hatay ilinde gerçekleştirilen insani yardım faaliyetlerinde karşılaşılan sorunları belirlemek ve bu sorunlara çözümler geliştirmektir. İnsani yardım lojistiği birçok aktörün yer aldığı karmaşık bir süreçtir. Bu karmaşıklık hem gereksinimlerin hem de karar kriterlerinin bir arada değerlendirilmesini gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, insani yardım lojistiği planlama sürecinde karşılaşılan sorunlara esnek ancak etkili çözümler sunabilecek bir model önerilmektedir. Bu model, Kalite Fonksiyon Yayılımı (QFD) yöntemi kullanılarak nitel ve nicel verilerin birleştirilmesini içermektedir. Bu çalışmada, Hatay ili özelinde insani yardım lojistiğinde karşılaşılan sorunların neler olduğunu belirlemek ve bu sorunlara çözüm önerileri geliştirmek üzere Delphi ve Analitik Ağ Süreci (AAS) yöntemlerinin Kalite Fonksiyon Göçerimi (KFG) tekniğine entegre edildiği bir model geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen model doğrultusunda çalışma genel itibariyle üç aşamadan oluşmuştur. Birinci aşamada Delphi yöntemi kullanılarak ilgili literatür ve Hatay’da insani yardım hizmeti sunan kurum/kuruluş temsilcilerinin görüşleri dikkate alınarak insani yardım lojistiğindeki sorunlar tespit edilmiştir. Ardından bu sorunların öncelik değerleri (ağırlıkları) Analitik Ağ Süreci (AAS) yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Son aşamada ise Kalite Fonksiyon Göçerimi (KFG) ilişki matrisleri sayesinde çözüm önerileri geliştirilmiştir. İnsani yardım lojistiği konusunda 14 sorun Delphi tekniği ile belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçların AAS ile önceliklendirilmesi ile “Süreklilik-Sürdürebilirlik Eksikliğinden Kaynaklanan Problemler” en önemli sorun olarak karşımıza çıkmıştır. Ardından uzaman görüşleriyle belirlenen 13 çözüm önerisi arasından “İnsani yardımların takip edileceği sistem oluşturulması” ise insani yardım lojistiğindeki sorunların bertaraf edilmesindeki en etkili çözüm önerisi olarak belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte benzer araştırmaların farklı bölgelerde veya ülkelerde daha fazla uzmanın katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmesi faydalı olacaktır. Ayrıca, çalışmanın bulguları, farklı çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri ile karşılaştırılarak daha geniş bir perspektif sağlanabilir. Bu bağlamda, insani yardım lojistiği alanında entegre metodolojilerin kullanılması, sorunların daha kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmasına olanak tanıyacaktır.

Hayaloglu, Pinar
Although official development assistance presents a solution for developing countries to overcome the lack of capital, there is no consensus in the literature on the effectiveness of foreign aid. Moreover, opinions claiming that aid can only affect growth positively under certain conditions see institutional quality as an essential aspect that boosts the positive impact of aid. This study examines the relationships between foreign aid, institutional structure, and economic performance for 80 countries in Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. It is found that official development assistance and the quality of institutional structure in the sample countries affect economic growth positively. It also provides some suggestive evidence showing that foreign aid has a positive effect on the institutional structure.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2023Does ecological footprint in ECCAS and ECOWAS converge? Empirical evidence from a panel unit root test with sharp and smooth breaks
Çelik, Orkun; Adali, Zafer; Bari, Bilgin
The costs due to climate change have been increasing day by day. In addition to the risk of losing our planet’s natural assets due to the increasing destructiveness of climate-related natural disasters and extreme climate events, we are also faced with grave economic risks. For this reason, researchers have recently focused on environmental issues. Nevertheless, they generally have investigated developed countries and ignored developing and least developed countries such as African countries. The United Nations (2015) report highlights that African countries should be specially investigated. Hence, the paper analyzes whether the ecological footprint in the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) converges for the period from 1961 to 2017. We employ Bahmani-Oskooee et al.’s (2014) panel unit root test with sharp and smooth breaks. The empirical findings demonstrate that the ecological footprint is stationary in ECCAS and ECOWAS. Stated in other words, the ecological footprint in these countries converges. Therefore, policymakers could implement similar policies to reduce the ecological footprint in these countries. This policy framework paves the way for an effective sustainable development.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2023The Effect of Foreign Aid and Governance on Economic Growth; [Dış Yardım ve Yönetişimin Büyüme Üzerindeki Etkileri]
Hayaloğlu, Pınar; Tümay, Muhammed
Foreign aid is essential in meeting the capital needs of countries that need more resources. However, in the literature, besides the view that foreign aid encourages economic performance, opinions suggest that it has adverse effects on recipient countries. Some ideas argue that the positive impact of foreign aid in recipient countries depends on the institutional quality level of the nations. We examine the relationships between foreign aid, the quality of governance, and economic growth using the dynamic panel data analysis method. The empirical analysis includes samples of 78 low-income countries that used foreign aid from 2000-2019. According to the findings, foreign aid affects economic growth negatively in sample countries. In addition, we find a positive relationship between the quality of governance and economic growth. In line with these findings, we can state that improvements in governance quality will positively impact economic development in the sample nations.

Yaman, Murat; Sarıhan, Nazlı Özcan
Differences between regions that arise in development processes constantly limit in the application areas of the studies. As a natural result, development policies follow a path from national to regional even local areas. Development agencies, in cooperation with public and private sector with non-governmental organizations, make their activities in order to develop the region’s socio-economic structure and eliminate regional differences. Development agencies have some important local works towards women as one of the disadvantageous groups who face especially socio-cultural barriers in many issues such as entrepreneurship and employment. In this study, the founding, aims, legal aspects, financial sources of development agencies and female contribution toworkforce in Turkey are reviewed and activities and projects made towards gaining women positive earnings are examined with a particular regard to Black Sea Development Agency (WBDA).
