17.yüzyıl düşünürü olan J. J. Rousseau, temelinde sosyal sözleşmenin olduğunu iddia ettiği siyasal iktidara, özgürleşme garantisi veren bir toplum biçimini oluşturması için bazı yetkiler vermiş ve önerilerde bulunmuştur. Siyasal iktidar iyi yurttaşlar yetiştirmek ve sadık bir uyruk yaratabilmek için toplumla ilgili inanç belirtilerini kullanmalıdır. Kuralları egemen tarafından belirlenecek bu din sivil dindir. Rousseau'ya göre politik olarak vazgeçilmez olan sivil din, bir projedir; bu projenin tanrısı ise sosyal sözleşmedir. Rousseau tarafından sistematikleştirilen sivil din kavramı, Rousseau'nun ardından pek çok düşünür tarafından üzerine tartışılan bir kavram olmuştur. Bununla birlikte, pek çok devlet kendisine ait bir strateji belirlerken sivil dinin birleştirici gücünden faydalanmıştır. Söz konusu devletler, sivil dinin milli birlik duygusunu şekillendirmeye katkı sağladığının farkında olarak hareket etmişlerdir. Bağımsızlık ve uluslaşma sürecinde John Locke ve J. J. Rousseau başta olmak üzere, pek çok aydınlanma çağı düşünürü fikirlerinin izlerine rastlanan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, sivil din önerisinin hayata geçirildiği en başarılı örneklerden biridir. Bugün birden çok milletten insanı barındıran Amerika, özellikle ulus olma sürecinde, devlet başkanları aracılığıyla sivil dine pek çok yerde atıf yapmış ve sivil dini hayata geçirmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri kutsal günler ve kutsal kişiler yaratarak iç siyasetini şekillendirmiştir. 1776 Amerikan Bağımsızlık Bildirgesi'yle birlikte kullanılmaya başlanan ve Amerika'nın seçilmiş millet olduğu inancının yerleştirilmesi bağlamında kullanılan sivil din, bayrak, başkanlık konuşmaları ve milli bayramlar gibi laik sembollere kutsallık yükleme noktasında temellerini bulmuştur. Bu bağlamda, one nation under God ve In God we trust sloganları Amerikan sivil dininin birer yansıması olarak göze çarpmaktadır. ; The 17th century philosopher J.J. Rousseau has given certain powers and suggestions to political power, which was claimed the basis of social contract by him, in order to form a society that guarantees the liberation. Political power must use signs of faith in society in order to raise good citizens and create a loyal nationality. This religion, which will be determined by sovereign rules, is the civil religion. According to Rousseau, civil religion, which is politically indispensable, is a project; the god of this project is social contract. The concept of civil religion, systematized by Rousseau, has been discussed by many thinkers after Rousseau. In addition, many states have benefited from the unifying power of civil religion in determining their own strategies. These states acted aware that civil religion contributes to shaping the sense of national unity. In the process of independence and nationalization, the United States of America, found in the footsteps of many enlightenment thinkers, especially John Locke and J. J. Rousseau, is one of the most successful examples of civil religion propose. Today, the United States, which hosts people from more than one nation, has referred to civil religion in many places through the heads of state, especially in the process of becoming a nation, and has implemented civil religion. In this context, the United States has shaped its internal politics by creating sacred days and sacred persons. Civil religion, which began to be used in conjunction with the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and was used in the context of the placement of the belief in the elected nation of America, has found its foundation at the point of dispensing sacred symbols to secular symbols such as flags, presidential speeches and national holidays. In this context, the slogan One Nation Under God and In God We Trust stands out as a reflection of American civil religion.
DOI:10.17336/igusbd.409435 ; Batı Trakya Müslüman Türkleri, 1923'ten günümüze kadar pek çok sorunla ve ayrımcılıkla karşı karşıya kalmış, özelikle Türk-Yunan ilişkilerinin Kıbrıs Sorunu sebebiyle bozulduğu 1970li yıllar sonrasında ayrımcılığın ve sorunların şiddeti artarak devam etmiştir. Bu sorunların başında, etnik kimliğin reddi, eğitim, vatandaşlıktan ıskat, din ve vicdan hürriyeti ve buna bağlı müftülük sorunu, kurumların kontrolü sorunu, demografik yapının değiştirilmesi, ifade özgürlüğüne sınırlamalar gelmektedir. Ancak, 1990'ların son yarısında ve 2000'li yıllarda Yunanistan'da azınlık hakları konusunda olumlu gelişmeler meydana gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda, azınlığı mağdur eden tüm sorunların çözümü sağlanmasa bile bazı alanlardaki gelişmeler incelemeye değerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 1990'lardan itibaren Yunanistan'daki azınlık hakları konusunda Avrupalılaşma ve Avrupa kurumlarının etkisini analiz etmektir. ; The Turkish Muslim Minority in Western Thrace has been subject to discriminative practices and human right violations since 1923. Especially after the 1970s, when the Turkish-Greek relations deteriorated due to the Cyprus Problem, the situation for the Minority worsened dramatically. The most significant problems of the Minority are; the denial of ethnic identity, education, de-nationalization of the minority members, freedom of religion and the election of Muftis, the problem concerning the control of the Minority institutions, demographic changes, and the freedom of expression. Since the late 1990s and throughout the 2000s, considerable positive developments in minority rights have been taking place in Greece. Despite the liberalization of minority rights and softening of the discriminative measures and repressive policies, as the fundamental problems of Western Thrace Turks still persist, this process is worth examining. The aim of this study is to examine the role of Europeanization and European Institutions on the minority rights in Greece starting with the 1990s.
Günümüz dünyasının gündeminde olan en önemli konulardan biri su kaynakları ve bu kaynakların yönetimi hususundaki karmaşadır. Bu çalışmada, kaynakların tükenmesi tehditi ile gündeme gelen konu, küreselleşme ekseninde ve neoliberal politikalar ışığında suyun ticarileşme sürecine girişi ile birlikte, doğal bir kaynak olmasının ötesinde ticari bir meta olarak algılanmaya başlanması, küresel pazarın daralması sonucu yeni alternatif pazar arayışına giren çok uluslu şirketlerin, uluslararası örgütler ile ortaklaşa yaptığı çalışmalarda suyun tükenmesi konusuna dikkat çekilerek su kaynakları yönetiminin özelleştirilmesinin alternatifsiz bir çözüm olarak sunulması ile oluşturulan hegemonya irdelenmiştir. Su kaynaklarının kamusallıktan çıkarılmak istenmesi sonucu yaşanan özelleştirme süreci ile istenen kaynak verimliliğinin ve devamlılığının sağlanamayacağı gerçeğine, özelleştirme uygulaması bulunan ülkelerdeki ve Türkiye'deki özelleştirme uygulamalarında meydana gelen sorunlar ile ulaşılmıştır.POLITICAL ECONOMY OF WATER RESOURCES ( TURKEY'S SAMPLE)One of the most important subjects, which is on the agenda of today's world, is the water resources and the confusion in managing this sources.

Paul Brass milliyetçiliği modernizmin bir ürünü olarak görmekle birlikte onu kaçınılmaz ve mecburi sayar. Başka bir ifadeyle her topluluğun millet olduğu veya ilerde millet olacağı sonucunu savunmaz. Bundan olarak, öyleyse, ortaya çıkan bir soruyu çalışmalarında cevaplamaya çalıştığı görülür: milletler neden ve nasıl ortaya çıkmıştır? Bu sorunun cevaplanabilmesi için gözlemlerini Avrupa, Afrika ve Amerika gibi farklı kıtadaki ülkelerin tarihi tecrübelerine çevirirken özellikle Güney Asya üzerinden detaylı bilgiler aktarır. Gözlemlerini, millet olma sürecindeki bir insan topluluğunun, kültürel farklılıklar aracılığıyla kendi etnik özbilincine varmasını ve ardından bunu, o grubun siyasal talepler çerçevesinde şekillenmesine bağlayarak tamamlar. Brass'a göre bu sürecin tamamı toplumda hâkim olan seçkinler (elitler) tarafından yönetilmektedir. Seçkinler, toplumları ve insan gruplarını kendi çıkarları etrafında şekillendirirken aynı zamanda bu grupları da önce etnik topluluklara, sonra milletlere dönüştürürler. Ancak Brass bir kez millete dönüşen toplumların artık tekrar etnik topluluğa dönüşmeyeceğini de söylemez, tarih boyunca farklı milletler farklı zamanlarda ileri ve geri hareket eder gibi etnik grup-millet olma süreçlerinden geçmiştir. Çalışma boyunca bu etnik grup olma - millet olma ayrımından hareket edilecek ve bu ayrımın alt başlıkları değerlendirilecektir. ; Paul Brass defines nationalism as a product of modern is mand does not see it as inevitable and compulsory. In other words, it does not advocate that all the communities are nations or they'll be achieve it in thefuture. As so, Brass tries to answer a question which roots from there: why and how did the nations come out? In order to answer this question, he focuses his observations into historical experiences of countries in different continents such as Europe, Africa andAmerica, while he gives detailed information especially on Asia. Brass claims that the nationalization process is managed by elites. The elites transform their societies and groups of people around their own interests while at the same time transforming these groups into ethnic communities and then nations. However, it does not say that the societies that once turned into a nation will no longer turn into a community. In this study, the sub-headings of this distinction (being a nation and an ethnicgroup) will be evaluated and criticized.
Ujamaa, dayanışma ya da aile içi bir toplulukta yaşamak anlamına gelen Svahilice bir kelimedir. Ujamaa'nın bir terim olarak kullanılması, 1967'de daha çok politik yönleriyle popülerlik kazandı. Bağımsızlıktan kısa bir süre sonra, ilk Tanzanya Cumhurbaşkanı Julius Nyerere, Ujamaa politikasını Tanzanyalıları birlikte yaşamaya ve birlikte çalışmaya teşvik etme aracı olarak ilan etti. Ayrıca, Ujamaa politikası, sömürgecilik sırasında kaybedilen geleneksel Afrika kültürlerini restore etmeyi amaçlayan Afrika kıtasında görülen sosyalizm türleri arasında yer almaktadır. Sosyo-ekonomik refahı artırmak için hükümet, Ujamaa politikası adı altında farklı alt politikalar uygulamaya koydu. Bu politikalar kamulaştırmayı arttırmayı, köylüleşmeyi ve köye dair imkânları yüceltmeyi ve kişilere özgüven eğitimini içermektedir. Ujamaa politikası köylerde yaşayan çok sayıda Tanzanyalı nedeniyle kırsal alanların gelişmesine dayanan bir politikadır. Ekonomik ve sosyal refahı geliştirmek için kullanılan birçok çabaya rağmen, Ujamaa politikası kapitalist ülkelerden, özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve İngiltere'den, hükümet bürokratlarından ve köylülerden farklı itirazlarla karşı karşıya kaldı. Kapitalist ülkeler, IMF ve Dünya Bankası gibi finansal kurumlarını Tanzanya'daki Ujamaa politikasını baltalamak için kullandılar. Dolayısıyla, Ujamaa politikasının başarısızlığı, kapitalist sistemin başlamasına yol açtı. Tanzanya perspektifinde kapitalist sistemin tanıtılması modernleşme olarak biliniyordu. ; Ujamaa is a Swahili word which means "solidarity or to live a communal life as a single family. The term got its popularity since 1967 when it was used more in political aspects. Soon after the independence, the first Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere declared the Ujamaa policy as a means to encourage Tanzanians to live and work together. Also, the Ujamaa policy was one among the types of African socialism which were intended to restore the traditional African cultures which were deteriorated during the colonization. İn order to improve economic and social welfare, the government introduced different subpolicies under the Ujamaa policy. Those policies were nationalization, villagization, and education for self-reliance. The Ujamaa policy based on the development of rural areas because a large number of Tanzanians lived in the villages. Despite many efforts used to improve the economic and social welfare, the Ujamaa policy faced different opposition from capitalist countries, especially the United States and the United Kingdom, and from the government's bureaucrats and villagers. These countries used their financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank to undermine the Ujamaa policy in Tanzania. So, the failure of the Ujamaa policy paved the way for the re-introduction of the capitalist system. İn Tanzania perspective the reintroduction of the capitalist system was known as Modernization.
YÖK Tez No: 530893 ; Terörizm, geçmişten günümüze kadar varlığını sürdürerek devam etmiştir. Terör örgütleri kendi ideolojilerini ve varlıklarını kabul ettirmek için bir mücadele içerisine girmişler ve devletleşme amacı gütmüşlerdir. Dünya'nın kuruluşundan bu yana terör örgütleri farklı ülkelerde, farklı isimler altında terör eylemlerini günümüze kadar sürdürmelerine rağmen, 11 Eylül 2001'de ABD'de ki ikiz kulelere yapılan saldırılardan sonra uluslararası terörizme bakış açısı farklı boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Dünya üzerinde ki teknolojik gelişmelerin sürekli ilerleyerek devam etmesi, terörizm ile mücadele etmenin ve işbirliği olmadan bir ülkenin bu konuda başarıya ulaşmasının zorluklarını gözler önüne sermiştir. Terör örgütleri gelişen teknolojik ilerlemeler ekseninde kendilerini yenilemişler ve daha farklı ve daha etkili terör saldırıları düzenlemeye başlamışlardır. Bu ve daha birçok nedenlerden dolayı,terörizm ile mücadele de uluslararası işbirliğinin zorunluluğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Türkiye, otuz yıldan uzun bir süredir çeşitli terör örgütlerinin saldırılarına uğramış ve bu saldırılar günümüze kadar devam ederek gelmiştir. Türkiye üzerine terör saldırıları düzenleyen örgütlerinin başında PKK gelmektedir. Türkiye'nin konumu itibari ile dünya üzerinde stratejik bir noktada bulunması, bu saldırıların temel kaynağını oluşturmuştur. Türkiye gelişen teknolojisi ve ekonomisi çerçevesinde, terörizmle yapılan mücadele de daha güçlü bir duruma gelmiştir. Son zamanlarda teröre karşı daha etkili sonuçlar alınmaya başlanmış ve PKK terör örgütüne akan finansın önü büyük ölçüde kesilmeye başlanmış ve aynı zamanda askeri önemli operasyonlarda etkisini göstermeye başlamıştır. Çalışma, ulusal ve uluslararası bir sorun olan terörizm kavramını, terör örgütlerinin yapısını, finans kaynaklarını, devletleşme çalışma ve girişimlerini, PKK terör örgütünün Türkiye'de yaptığı terör eylemlerini, terörizm ile mücadelede neler yapılabileceğini değerlendirmektedir. ; Terrorism has continued its existence from past to present day.

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.
