Önder, Kübra; Şahin, Muhammet
This study examines the impact of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Kazakhstan between 2000 and 2023 on regional development, explicitly accounting for institutional and spatial heterogeneity. For causal identification, it employs a Forward Orthogonal Deviations-based GMMf (System GMMf) estimator to address endogeneity and reverse causality, complemented by an event-study framework to trace the dynamic evolution of policy effects. The results reveal strong path dependence in regional growth and show that the effectiveness of SEZ incentives is non-linear and systematically conditioned by the depth of regional production structures, proxied by the Value Added Index. Empirical evidence suggests that SEZ incentives stimulate growth in low value-added regions, while potentially distorting market signals and generating crowding-out effects in regions with high value-added production. Dynamic analyses indicate that the negative shock observed immediately after implementation reflects temporary adjustment costs and resource reallocation, with effects converging towards zero over time. Overall, the findings imply that SEZs are not automatic engines of growth but require careful calibration to local production structures to mitigate risks of policy saturation and adverse selection. The study provides an original contribution to the literature on the design and life-cycle management of next-generation industrial policies in transition economies.

Ayşe Tutal
Kant'ın ahlak felsefesi bağlamında özgürlük ve nedensellik kavramlarının önemli bir yere sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu çerçevede iki farklı nedensellik türü ile iki farklı özgürlük türü karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu anlayışlardan hangisinin ahlak yasasının oluşumunda başat rol oynadığının incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Söz konusu sorunsalın araştırılması bağlamında öncelikle Kant'ın ahlak felsefesi ana hatlarıyla ele alınacaktır. Onun ahlak felsefesi çerçevesinde şu temel konular tahlil edilmektedir: mutluluk, ödev ilkesi, koşulsuz buyruk, özerklik, yaderklik. İkinci adımda ise onun özgürlük ve nedensellik kavramlarını hangi ölçüte göre tasnif ettiği aydınlatılmaya çalışılacaktır. Aynı zamanda Kant'ın özgürlük ve nedensellik kavramları ile ödev ahlakı arasında nasıl bir bağ kurduğu irdelenecektir.

Tüzen, Muhammed Ahmet
Adorno, who has critical thoughts on the positivist perspective that is the core of the philosophy of Enlightenment and the mental comprehension to which positivism depends, states that Kant's notion of freedom, which puts strictly adhesion to the law in the center, is an abstract, disconnected from experience, compelling/oppressive nature. Accordingly, Kant, who activates the mind against the blind power of nature, explains the free action as to act according to the pure mind. In Kant, which approaches moral laws as freedom laws, freedom is considered as the law that both is to use of the mind in an absolute manner and must be obeyed and treated accordingly. In this context, Adorno implies that Kant's moral philosophy is structured in such a way as not to allow it to act otherwise, although it does not have authoritarian thoughts. This study which is based on Adorno's thoughts aims to evaluate Kant's understanding of freedom in four parts within the above-mentioned framework: (i) Freedom as a balancing force against the causality of nature, (ii) freedom disconnected from experience and spiritualized, (iii) freedom to express action by centering the law, (iv) freedom intertwined with bourgeois work ethic.

Türedi, Salih; Topal, Mehmet Hanefi
This study analysis the relation between democracy and taxation in the context of developing countries. At the end of empirical analysis covering 60 countries by focusing on the period of 2006-2012, findings showing a two-way causality relation between taxation and democracy were reached. Accordingly, an increase in taxation level affects rule of law, organizational right, freedom of expression and belief positively in the countries analyzed. Briefly, it plays a vital role in the development of democracy by making a contribution to the enhancement of civil liberties. On the other hand, improvements in democratic rights and freedoms increase the number of citizens paying their taxes in full and on time, thus increases taxation level, by strengthening the harmony between citizens and state.
