Neoliberal hegemonya, toplumların sadece ekonomik ve siyasi yapılarını değiştirmekle kalmamış aynı zamanda bu toplumların üyeleri olarak neoliberal öznelerin duygusal dünyalarını da dönüştürmüştür. Günümüzde hegemonik neoliberal düzenin sürdürülmesinde hazzın üstünlüğü ve acının müstehcenleştirilerek yok edilmesi iki temel duygulanım biçimi olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Neoliberal toplumlar farklı düşünürlerce farklı biçimlerde tasvir edilmişlerdir. Palyatif toplumdan akışkan modern toplumlara kadar birçok toplum modelinin betimlenmesinin temelinde neoliberal siyasal rasyonaliteye hakimiyet vurgusu yatmaktadır. İçinde yaşadığımız toplumda yaşam ve verimlilik övülürken acı ve olumsuzluk gizlenmektedir. Neoliberal toplumlar birer performans ve olumluluk toplumlarıdır. Bu makalede acının toplumsal ve siyasal gelişime koşut bir biçimde gelişiminin ana momentleri vurgulanmaya çalışılacaktır. Bunun için toplumsal gelişmenin üçlü doğası üzerinden bir düşünce geliştirilerek acının da üçlü doğası olabileceği iddia edilecektir. Modernlik öncesi pastoral acıdan, acının ahlakileştirildiği neoliberal topluma uzanan süreçte acının dönüşümü üzerinde durulacaktır. Sonuçta insanın siyasal bir hayvan olduğu vurgusuyla, içinde bulunduğumuz neoliberal haz toplumunda yerinden edilmiş acının doğası üzerine düşünme teşvik edilecektir.

"This article/research that I translated from Hasan Hanefi examines, in terms of Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, the ancient Christianity throughout the history. While Hasan Hanefi, here, researched Christianity beliefs in the presence of Ancient Christians, on the one hand, he criticizes of it, on the other hand, from own viewpoint, aims for explanation of it. Hasan Hanefi, also here, compares the Christianity beliefs established by the institution of papacy with philosophies of his age in which includes schools like communism, socialism and existentialism. According to what Hasan Hanef said, Unamuno follow such a conclusion: the contemporary Christianity has lost that noble ore and effect arising from jesus son of mary, who is prominent with/stamped with the life, the dynamism and regeneration and the spritual ressurrection; whether individually or socially, it has become such a thing that loses it's effect and power on spirits. We also may said: Our author Hasan Hanefi, in terms of essence and nature of Christianity, make comparisons between the philosophies and trends of his age and philosophies that will come later and have an impact on humanity, especially on Europeans… After all this, definitely, he concludes such a result: Some philosophies is closer to, in it's essence and nature, the Christianity religion and the message of jesus, than the Christianity religion institutionalized throughout the history! and he maintains his explanations: that Christianity religion has lost, especially throughout scholastic ages, it's nature and divine character and, no matter where and when one lives, except a blind devotion, has become a mechanic belief ineffective on human sprit!."

Our aim in this study is to evaluate the corporate social responsibility practices of Koza Mining Operations from the perspective of institutional mechanisms, and to reveal the society-based nature, which was inadequate in previous studies that explain the concept in particular.In particular, the fact that the institutional environment is subject to insufficient scrutiny by researchers and the studies conducted so far mainly on the place of responsibility practices related to financial performance have caused the concept to be subject to limited research in the literature. The study was carried out through in-depth interviews and archive scans with company officials in three mining sites (Bergama, Balıkesir and Gümüşhane) where the highest number of administrative lawsuits were filed against Koza Mining Operations. The case study method was chosen among the qualitative research methods in the study. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that the company uses its corporate social responsibility practices as a public relations policy to solve or eliminate local or national problems (corporate legitimacy crisis) in the region.

The aim of this study is to take lessons for policy makers by examining the theory and practice of the social ecology approach, which is studied as an alternative model to climate change, capitalism and state organization discussions, through field applications. In order to achieve this aim, the basic concepts of social ecology and the approach of ecological society to the city were examined through the examples of southeastern Turkey and 'Rojava'. In the study, an answer has been sought to the research question of "are social ecology-based field practices and theory compatible?" In the theoretical framework, the political, administrative, social and economic discourses of the ecological approach, which puts nature at its center are explained as four criteria of analysis. In the discussions part, the field practices are examined in terms of the reflection of the theory in practice, taking into account the suggestions in political, administrative, social and economic dimensions. Contrary to rhetoric, it has been explained with the kiwi bird metaphor that the practices of PKK/KCK do not adequately reflect Bookchin's social ecology approach.

Man, who was created with the purpose of zoning and reforming the earth and serving his Lord, can be the subject of good or evil due to his nature. Satan, who is overcome by his arrogance and pride even though he believes in Allah, does not give consent and surrender to the divine decree, disobeys his Lord and is ungrateful, so he is expelled from divine mercy.

Unlike other major liberal democratic countries where the states can be argued to have oriented their involvement in cybersecurity relatively more towards the national security aspect such as the US, the role of the state in the cybersecurity realm has a less clear-cut orientation in the case of Japan. This paper clarifies the nature of the role of state in cybersecurity in Japan using the framework utilized by Cavelty and Egloft's 2019 article (Cavelty & Egloff, 2019). Within this framework, the role of the state is analyzed in theoretical, empirical, and normative dimensions. The theoretical dimension analysis focuses on different theories in literature regarding the Japanese state whereas the data for the empirical dimension analysis come from publicly available records by key Japanese state and private organizations involved in cybersecurity. The normative dimension analysis emphasizes the time horizon aspect of cybersecurity policies the Japanese state should be directing its attention. In conclusion, it is found that the Japanese state embodies the roles of "knowledge creator/disseminator", "supporter/representative of society", "partner", and "guarantor and protector" in addition to a necessity for government bodies to turn towards proactive long-term policies and initiatives for better cybersecurity in Japan.

Turkey is a country that is highly preferred by tourists due to its geographical location, nature, historical beauties and food culture. Street foods can be affected by factors such as geographical location, mode of production, historical development, economic, cultural relations, belief and ethnic status. With the increasing popularity of street food in recent years, it is seen that street food has been added to the menus of cafes and restaurants. The main purpose of this study is to determine the inclusion levels of street foods in the menus of food and beverage businesses. The population of the study are employees of food and beverage businesses in Kadiköy. The level of street food in the menu is examined with a sample of a personnel (n=25) from a food and beverage businesses in Kadıköy. Semi structured interview technique among qualitative research techniques was used. Interviews were made with the authorities (chef, waiter, business manager and employer) of food and beverage businesses determined through purposive sampling method. The findings illustrate that there was intense preference of street foods in food and beverage businesses. It has been observed that some businesses use street foods as the main theme in restaurant design and menu planning. It is seen that street foods are preferred either as sides next to beverages or as appetizers before the main meal.

Sustainable development, being at the centre of today's global and local policies, has led to discussions about its broad content and applicability since the 1980s. In particular, the most emphasized issues have been prioritizing the economic dimension of sustainable development and understanding the environment as the optimal use of natural capital. However, as was underlined at the World Sustainable Development Summit held in 2002, a social dimension also needs to be taken into account. This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore definitions and dimensions of sustainable development and empowerment to understand how their enlarged content affects their application. The dynamic range of empowerment presented as a critical strategy for implementing the social dimension of sustainable development, the ambiguities related to the meaning of the concepts, and the discourses transmitted from the global to the local level are being investigated through the Turkish case. To explore different definitions of sustainable development and empowerment, the qualitative analysis software Atlas.ti was used. The research sample consists of ten documents on international cooperation initiatives and three Turkish documents on implementing these initiatives. The international and Turkish texts show the fluctuations of empowerment between raising human welfare and increasing production. Thus, the concept of empowerment seems to reflect the contradictions of sustainable development semantically and by the nature of the discourse used.

A rational economic person desires to achieve happiness by acting for his or her own benefit. Therefore, the key of human happiness is in the sense of pleasure and satisfaction. The concept of happiness, which has been emphasized more over time, has also started to be discussed frequently in economic terms. The economics of happiness at the focus of these discussions was built on an economy model based on society and nature. It is possible to mention many socioeconomic factors that add value to life and create happiness. Factors such as a clean environment, a good income level, relationships based on trust, healthy and quality life can be described as the causes of happiness. Today, a new social process is mentioned and happiness takes attention as well as technological developments in this society. This study has aimed to investigate the factors associated with happiness in the context of Society 5.0, using the panel data analysis method for 8 OECD countries between the years 2007-2019. In the study, it has been found that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between GDP per capita and happiness. In addition, it was found that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between human capital and happiness. It has been determined that there is a significant and positive relationship between renewable energy consumption and happiness. The happiness index, which is the dependent variable in the study, is explained by all other independent variables at the rate of 89 %.

Based on the existing literature, the study tests the relevance of electoral and intra-party alliance concerns on party organization change for the AKP in its 2017 District Congress. We believe that both the electoral and intra-party alliance concerns the party faced in 2017, make it a suitable case to test the basic hypothesis of the study. The dataset used in the analysis consists of secondary data on 971 districts present in Turkey. District presidency change is employed as the key independent variable to estimate organization change. The result of the logistic regression indicates that the effect of increasing percentage of swing voters and members of the former alliance, despite being valid, have moderate positive effects on the AKP's decision to change its organization. The insignificancy of the electoral safety of the party in the district reveals that in 2017 the AKP changed its organization regardless of the nature of the electoral competition it faces. Interestingly, results indicate that socioeconomic development and ethnic presence in districts are also significant factors that constrain organization change in the AKP. Based on these results we suggest that change in party organization becomes a more difficult issue in parties with strong clientelistic networks where political parties built electoral support through the conditional distribution of resources to voters. Similarly, ethnicity also acts as a constraint due to the peculiarity of the relations political parties develop with these groups. As such clientelism and ethnicity seem to have constraining effects on the abilities of parties to change their organizations. The results highlight the necessity of further research to generalize the validity of the effectiveness of clientelism and ethnic groups on political parties' organization change on different settings.
