Öğe Authoritarian Nationalism and Discrimination Ending with Immiserising Modernization: Economic and Social Consequences of the Republican Power Elite's Fight(Nova Science Publishers, Inc, 2010) Toprak, Metin; Acar, MustafaIn recent years, there has been a growing literature -known as endogenous growth-revealing the fact that human resources are the main constituent of economic growth. Turkey has implemented for a long time a state policy by which human resources have been weakened and paralyzed. This chapter looks into the historical trajectory of this dead-lock policy, linking the basis of the current deficiencies of democracy and market economy in Turkey at institutional level on one hand, and lack of tolerance and xenophobia at societal level on the other. We argue that the Republican era's Jacobean type of ultra-nationalist unification policies explain by and large not only relative economic backwardness, but also ongoing political, economic and social adjustment problems in Turkey.Öğe Pandemics, Income Inequality, and Refugees: The Case of COVID-19(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Buyukakin, Figen; Ozyilmaz, Ayfer; Isik, Esme; Bayraktar, Yuksel; Olgun, Mehmet Firat; Toprak, MetinRefugees are more vulnerable to COVID-19 due to factors such as low standard of living, accommodation in crowded households, difficulty in receiving health care due to high treatment costs in some countries, and inability to access public health and social services. The increasing income inequalities, anxiety about providing minimum living conditions, and fear of being unemployed compel refugees to continue their jobs, and this affects the number of cases and case-related deaths. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of refugees and income inequality on COVID-19 cases and deaths in 95 countries for the year 2021 using Poisson regression, Negative Binomial Regression, and Machine Learning methods. According to the estimation results, refugees and income inequalities increase both COVID-19 cases and deaths. On the other hand, the impact of income inequality on COVID-19 cases and deaths is stronger than on refugees.Öğe Religion and Ethnicity in the Construction of Official Ideology in Republican Turkey(Wiley, 2010) Caha, Oemer; Toprak, Metin; Uslu, Nasuh…Öğe Transformation of Turkish Politics: Socio-Political, Economic and Ethnic Peculiarities(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2009) Toprak, Metin; Uslu, Nasuh; King, Judd DanielThis article is based on a fieldwork conducted in the second half of October 2007. The sampling has been designed to represent whole of Turkey. Modern Turkey has reached its 85th anniversary and still deals with problems related to the discussion on ethnic and religious identities in Turkish society. By conducting this survey, we have portrayed general peculiarities of Turkish voters in terms of political, socio-economic, ethnic, and religious identities. We have obtained three main socio-political upper identities and called them Modernist-Kemalist, Conservative-Nationalist and Leftist-Social Democrat. The most common identities in Turkish society are lined up as Modernist-Kemalist, Conservative-Nationalist and Leftist-Social Democrat. It is interesting that the AKP has a high level of acceptance among all groups. This means that this party has moved to the center (center-right) and that the largest part of the Turkish population does not considered it a serious threat to the regime. The main divide within Turkish society, and the source of its conflict, is not so much among the majority of people, but rather between them and a traditional secular elite that continues to use its influence to deny those who do not share its particular vision of westernization access to the public sphere.
