Güç Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplininin önde gelen araştırma konularındandır. Bir devletin kendi çıkarlarını korumak ve taleplerini başka bir ülke ya da toplumda kabul ettirebilmek konusundaki maddi ve manevi potansiyeli olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Güç kavramı bir devletin coğrafyası, tarihi, kültürü, askeri kapasitesi, insan gücü, ekonomisi gibi faktörlerle şekillenmektedir. Ancak 20. yüzyılın başlarında yaşanan iki büyük savaş bu anlamdaki bir gücün taraflara yıkım getirdiğini göstermiştir. Bunun bir sonucu olarak gerek uygulamada ve gerekse alan-yazında farklı arayışlara girişilmiş ve yumuşak güç olarak kavramlaştırılan yaklaşım doğmuştur. Yumuşak güç, bir ülkenin sahip olduğu siyasi değerler, kültür yapısı ve uyguladığı dış politika yoluyla kendini bir cazibe merkezi haline getirme yeteneği olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu tez çalışmasının amacı, Türkiye'nin yumuşak güç uygulamalarını inceleyerek, yumuşak güç potansiyelini ortaya koymak ve gelişime açık alanları belirlemektir. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin yumuşak gücü, kamu diplomasisinin bir aracı olarak kullanma kapasitesinin ve potansiyelinin ne düzeyde olduğu sorusuna cevap aramaktadır. Cumhuriyet Dönemi ile sınırlı tutulmuş olan bu araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden literatür taraması kullanılmıştır. Türkiye'nin kültür, tarih, din, sağlık turizmi ve insani yardım alanlarında başarılı uygulamalara sahip olmakla birlikte, ekonomi, teknoloji, spor, üniversite, akademik araştırma alanlarında potansiyelini yeterince kullanamadığı belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye, Güç, Yumuşak Güç, Kamu Diplomasisi ; Power is one of the leading research topics of the International Relations Discipline. It is defined as the material and moral potential of a state to protect its own interests and to make its demands accepted in another country or society. The concept of power is shaped by factors such as geography, history, culture, military capacity, manpower, economy of a state. However, the two great wars that took place at the beginning of the 20th century showed that a power in this sense has caused the parties to experience devastation. As a result of this, different pursuits were embarked on both in practice and in literature, and the approach that was conceptualized as soft power was born. Soft power can be defined as a country's ability to make itself a center of attraction through its political values, cultural structure and foreign policy. The aim of this dissertation is to reveal its soft power potential and to identify areas open to development, by examining Turkey's soft power applications. The research seeks answers to the question is that in which level of Turkey's capacity and potential to use soft power as an instrument of Public Diplomacy. In this research, which was limited to the Republican Period, the literature review was used from qualitative research method. It has been determined that although Turkey has successful practices in the fields of culture, history, religion health tourism and human aid, it has not been able to adequately utilize its potential in the fields of economics, technology, sports, university education and academic researches. Key Words: Turkey, Power, Soft Power, Public Diplomacy
Bu çalışmanın konusu Türk Yükseköğretim sisteminde yer alan ve Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Konya ve Antalya illerinde bulunan devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinin sosyal sorumluluk uygulamalarında kavramsal bilgi ve örneklerini inceleyerek meşruiyet kazanma yöntemlerinin ve devamında kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS) kavramının meşruiyete katkısının incelenmesidir. Kurumsal bakış açısı ile birçok kez ele alınan farklı örgüt yapıları araştırmacılar tarafından çalışmalara konu edilmiştir. Kurumsal kurama göre bir örgüt içerisinde yer aldığı çevresel koşullara göre bir müddet sonra rakiplerine benzeşmekte bunun sonucu olarak da ortak uygulamalara gitmektedirler. Son yıllarda, örgütler müşterilerinin gözünde sadece kar amacı güden yapılar olmadıklarını göstermek için yardım kampanyaları, çeşitli ahlaki ve sosyal sorumluluk kampanyalarının içerisinde yer almaktadır. Bu durumda KSS kavramının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Örgütler açısından önem arz eden böyle bir kavramın kurum tarafından ne derecede önemsendiğini ve KSS çalışmalarının önemini ortaya koymak için çalışmamızın konusu KSS olarak belirlenmiştir. Üniversitelerin meşruiyet kazanmak için yaptıkları KSS çalışmaları ve uygulamaları inceleyerek birbirlerinden ne yönde ve ne şekilde farklılaştıklarını ortaya koymayı hedefleyen bu çalışma dört bölümden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın ilk bölümünde kurumsal alt yapı incelenmiş kuramsal kuramın ortaya çıkışı, etik olgusu, meşruiyet kavramı gibi kavramlar ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın ikinci bölümünde Türkiye'de Yüksek Öğretim kurumlarının tarihçesi ve gelişimi ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın üçüncü bölümünde bu araştırma için çalışma kapsamında ele alınan yükseköğretim kurumlarının KSS uygulamalarının kategorize edilirken Birleşmiş Milletler Küresel İlkeler Sözleşmesinde yer alan ve maddelerin karması yapılarak bir sınıflandırma aracı oluşturulduğundan bahsedilmiştir. Her bir üniversitenin uyguladığı KSS çalışmalarını bir standarda oturtabilmek ve bir şablon uygulayabilmek adına Birleşmiş Milletlerin Küresel Sözleşmesinden yararlanılmıştır. Sözleşmede yer alan on madde ile Türkiye'nin içerisinde bulduğu yapısal durum bir araya getirilerek 4 ana başlık oluşturulmuştur. Bu ana başlıkların altında yer alan alt kategoriler ile üniversitelerin yayınlamış oldukları raporlarda kaç kaç farklı defa bahsetme sıklığına bakılarak değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.Çalışmanın son bölümünde ise üniversitelerin KSS faaliyetleri kapsamında yaptıkları çalışmalar ve uygulamalar nitel araştırma yöntemi ile ele alınmıştır. Nitel araştırmanın evreni 29 üniversiteden oluşmaktadır. Belirlenen üniversiteler arasından İstanbul'da bulunan Koç Üniversitesi ve Kültür Üniversitesi, İzmir'de bulunan Yaşar Üniversitesi ve Ege Üniversitesi'nin raporlarına web sayfalarından ulaşılmamıştır. Resmi makamlardan mail yoluyla talep edilmesine rağmen geri dönüş alınamadığı için bahsedilen dört üniversite araştırma kapsamı dışında bırakılmıştır ve çalışmanın kısıtını oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın örneklemi 25 üniversiteden oluşmaktadır. Son olarak üniversitelerin KSS uygulamalarında en çok toplumsal sorumluluk kategorisine yer vererek benzeştikleri görülmüştür. Etik konusu ise üniversitelerin uygulamalarında en az yer verdikleri konu olarak görülmüştür. Literatür araştırmalarında üniversitelerin KSS uygulamalarının benzerliğine ilişkin kapsamlı bir çalışmanın varlığına rastlanmamıştır. Bu açıdan tez çalışmasının literatüre katkı sağlayabileceği ve özgün bir çalışma olduğu düşünülmektedir. The subject of this study is to examine the conceptual knowledge and examples of the social responsibility practices of state and foundation universities in Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Konya and Antalya which are included in the Turkish Higher Education System and to gain legitimacy and the legitimacy contribution of the concept of corporate social responsibility. Different organizational issues, which have been discussed many times with institutional point of view, have been studied by researchers. According to the institutional set-up, according to the environmental conditions in an organization, after a while, they resemble their competitors and as a result they go to common practices. In recent years, charities campaigns have been part of a variety of moral and social responsibility campaigns to show that organizations are not merely profit-making structures in the eyes of their customers. This led to the emergence of the concept of CSR. The issue of working to put forward the importance of such an important concept in terms of organizations and to show the importance of CSR studies has been determined as CSR. This study is aimed at revealing how the universities differ from each other in terms of CSR studies and practices that they have made in order to gain legitimacy. In the first part of the research, the concepts such as the emergence of theoretical theory, institutional infrastructure, ethics, and the concept of legitimacy are discussed. In the second part of the research, history and development of institutions of higher education in Turkey are discussed. In the third part of the research, it was mentioned that the classification of CSR applications of the higher education institutions covered in the study for this research was made a classification tool by making the replications of the materials in the United Nations Global Compact. It has benefited from the United Nations Global Compact in order to put CSR studies that each university has implemented into a standard and apply a template. The ten articles contained in the convention and the structural situation found in Turkey were put together and four main headings were formed.The subcategories under these headings and the reports published by the universities were evaluated by how many times they mentioned the frequency of mentioning. In the last part of the study, the studies and applications of the universities in the scope of the CSR activities were dealt with by qualitative research method. The universe of qualitative research consists of 29 universities. Koç University and Culture University in Istanbul, Yaşar University in Izmir and Ege University's reports in the selected universities are not accessible from the web pages. The four universities mentioned were excluded from the scope of the research because they could not receive a return even though they were requested by mail from the official authorities and they created the limitation of working. The sample of the study consists of 25 universities. Finally, it has been seen that universities are most similar to CSR applications in terms of social responsibility category. Ethics has been seen as the least common practice among universities.Literature surveys did not reveal the existence of a comprehensive study of the similarities of CSR practices of universities. In this respect, it is thought that the study of thesis is a unique work which can contribute to the literature.
Yönetim devamlı bir süreçtir. Yönetim süreci, pek çok iç ve dış koşulların, çok yönlü faktörlerin etkisiyle oluşan insani, maddi ve manevi faaliyetlerin toplamıdır. Görünen yönetim karmaşasını netleştirmek, anlaşılır hale getirmek, şeffaflaştırmak, kamu reformu ile ele alınan yeni yönetim yaklaşımının özünü oluşturmaktadır. Bu süreçte stratejik yönetim ve stratejik planlama öne çıkmaktadır. Tıpkı işletmelerde olduğu gibi kamu ve yerel idarelerde de stratejik plan yaparak hayatiyetini sürdürmektedir. Türkiye'de yerel idarelerin de içinde bulunduğu kamu gerçeğine bakmakta yarar vardır. Kamu mevcut ve yapısal durumu bilinmeden üzerine bina edilecek her türlü çaba sonuçsuz kalacaktır. Şimdiye kadar yapılan reform çabalarının tutmaması da bu gerçeğe dayanmaktadır. Türkiye'de, kamuda kaynaklarının etkin ve verimli kullanılmadığı görüşü hakimdir. Toplum kamudan kaynaklarının etkin, verimli, kaliteli ve amaca yönelik kullanımını beklemektedir. Beklentisine temel gerekçe de, gelişmiş ülkelerde kaynakların etkin, verimli ve üretime dönük kullanıldığını görmesidir. Stratejik planlama tam bu noktada toplum talepleriyle stratejik plan sunumunda kesişmektedir. Artık kamu, çevreyi inceleyerek analiz ederek vizyon, misyon, hedef, strateji ve önceliklerini belirleyerek plan geliştirecek; bunları uygulayacak sonuçlarını izleyerek ölçecek bir yönteme sahiptir. Bunu katılımcı yönetim anlayışı içinde gerçekleştirecektir. İşletmelerde müşteri memnuniyetine paralel kamu, vatandaş memnuniyeti odaklı çalışacaktır. Böylece uluslararası standartların kabul ettiği katılımcılık, şeffaflık, hesap verirlilik, paylaşımcılık, anlayışı kamu yönetimimizin olguları haline gelecektir. Artık kamu yönetiminde ve yerel idarelerde stratejik davranmak ilkesi kabul görmektedir. Eğitim, sağlık, tarım, sanayi, ketleşme başta olmak üzere öncelikli alanlarda rekabet etmek stratejik yönetim anlayışı ile olacaktır. Kısaca durumsal yaklaşımdan, stratejik yaklaşıma geçiş sağlanmaktadır. Bu geçiş gelecek referanslı yönetim anlayışına sahip olmak, idareyi kendi koşulları içinde rakipleri ve benzerleri ile karşılaştırarak rekabetçi bir temelde ele almak, bütüncül, entegre bir planlama anlayışıtaşımak anlamına gelmektedir. İş dünyasında alınan önemli mesafenin burada da ele alınabilmesi için öncellikle yerel idareyi yöneten üst düzey yönetici anlayışının değişmesi kaçınılmazdır. ; Administration is a continious process. Administrative process is the total of the moral, physical and humanitarian activities which are formed by many inside and outside conditions and multi-dimensional effects. Making the apparent chaos of administration clear,transparent,understandable are the nucleus of the new administrative approach which is at hand.Like private institutions,the local and public administrations can survive by the help of strategic planning. During this process strategic planning and administration come into foreground. It is beneficial to look closely at the public reality including local administration in Turkey. Every effort made without any knowledge of the present situation and structure will be futile. That is the reason why so many reforms have failed so far. Widely held opinion is that the resources in Turkey cannot be benefıted from effectively or efficiently.But the public expects these resources to be taken full advantage of. The main ground for this demand is that the resources in developed countries are utilized in an effective,efficient and productive way. These demands and strategic planning interject at this point. From now on,the public will develop plans by investigating and analysing the neighbourhood determining mission, vision, strategy, targets and priorities. The public has the administration to be able to carry out them and assess the results. They will be put into practice by participatory bureaucracy. The focus will be the on citizen satisfaction just like the customer satisfaction in private institutions. So internationally accepted concepts such as participation, transparency, accountability and sharing will be a part of our administrative structure. In today`s world the principle of strategic action is widely held. Competition in primary areas such as agriculture,education,urbanization and industry are only possible in this way. Shortly from situational administrative approach to strategic one is aimed at. These transition means having an administrative approach with a future reference,handling the administration under its conditions by comparing and contrasting with its competitors and having an integrated and holistic approach. To be able to be succesful like private insitutions, it is inevitable to have a change in the concept of senior administrators managing local government.
SUMMARYA great changement was occurring after fell down the Berlin Wall in East Europe, in 1989.The countries had begun to new period with high debts and inflation by these changements.East European countries have a common feature by carry out the transition period politics by rapidly in this process. So, it was necessity on stabilization politics but not easy.At result, privatization and restructure got an importance.I – THEORICAL AND CONSEPTIONAL FRAME OF MARKET ECONOMYFree market economy has the same philosophy and idea with liberalism. Economical liberalism is defended the free competition, reducing the customs taxes, import freedom and resisted to interference of state on the economy.Classical economy's base is economical freedom and market economy. Market economy is relying on free competition and private enterprise. Price mechanism and world prices are important. Interference of state must be in minimum levels. Public sector must be reduced. Basic factors such as wage, capital and foreign currency must reflect the real market prices, must get an importance to external trade.1-DEVELOPMENT OF MARKET ECONOMY1.1. CLASSIC REVIEWFree trade, specialization only on one field, annihilate the obstacles such as customs and quotas, interferences of state on the market are most important according to Adam Smith, which lived in 18th century.A specialization between nations must be obtained according to Ricardo. So, it must be an exchange on the entire world. 1.2. NEO-CLASSIC REVIEWAlfred Marshall, Leon Walras and Carl Menger is an echol. The state must be more active to improve the poor part of community and must create the opportunities on the market, get the taxes from revenues and wealth, finance the education, health, park and city planning, defence the personal freedom, private property and open markets, manufacture the public commodities.1.3. ORDO-LIBERALISM REVIEWIt is different from classic liberalism. Economical regularity is social which emerges in an evident process, not natural. Social and juridical standards emerge the economical system.Price, monetarily stability, sciences, stability and durability on economical politics are important to emerging of market economy.Basic aim is bring to existence an economical constitution.2- BASIC ELEMENTS OF MARKET ECONOMYBasic factors are enterprising, competition, economical ideas and attitudes.Enterprising is a person which makes unity the manufacturing factors, makes direct the investments, begins to motion by utilize the signals from internal and external markets, gets the share on productivity and determines the firm profit. Basic aim is profit.Competition is social event, protects the personal, which works with high productivity against to personal, which works with low productivity, uses the sources most effectively. Buyer and seller number must be too much in this system. Competition is opposed to monopolization but necessity laws and politics have to support it. ECONOMICAL IDEAS AND ATTITUDESIt includes price, wage, interest, hire and foreign currency. Price system occurs freely according to rate of request and demand conditions. At this straight, firms and consumers must carry out their decisions freely.3- MARKET MECHANISM FLOW AND ROLE OF SOURCE DISTRIBUTIONConsumers and producers have activities on the market economy. The prices are determined according to the lowest cost and to the highest profit.Ideal special future is high productivity, low profit and high production. Competition reduces the profit to the lowest level.Main mechanism on free market is price. If the relative scarcity is enough, request and demand is more or less equal.Producers and consumers may have a decision according to the price indicator and request and demand. This case makes lead the manufacturing, increases the alternatives, also economical activities make an harmony against to conditions.The evident features of market economy are free decision, liberty on preferences, a great price mechanism and competition. So, economical stability is obtainable.Interferences may apply on the market economy for public health, regulations on economical activities, protect the consumers. These motions are generally precautions to control of drugs and drink manufacturing and consumption, annihilation of harmful on public health, growth the power on economic morals, make grow the quality, regulation on manufacturing and marketing. The state may meddle with economy to development rapidly. For example, the state may encourage the saving, increase the rates of interest, decrease the taxes to get on the saving, provide the precautions on investment.The buyers and sellers cannot determine the price on one's own on free competition market. Otherwise monopoly, trust and cartels may occur, stability may out of order between commodity and services.Market economy may deviate from the rules on two main categories.Manufacturer, buyer and seller may make deviate from the rules. Especially trade unionization is effective on this deviation.The state may interfere in economy by taxes, if social and individual advantages different, it may deviate from competition market.The state is exist in every kind of economy and serves to people with harmony and politics and social philosophies of our age. Also it provides security, education and health services but it doesn't determine the prices. It is one of the biggest manufacturers at the same time.II – HISTORICAL WIEW TO BULGARIAN ECONOMY IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD OF FREE MARKET ECONOMY1. BASIC SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL INDICATORS1.1.
