Öğe Post-Corona World: The Effects of COVID-19 on Economic, Social and Academic Life(Tuba-Turkish Acad Sciences, 2020) Acar, MustafaNo doubt that the year 2020 is likely to be one of the turning points in the twenty-first century as well as in the world history. A new type of coronavirus called COVID-19 has erupted in the last days of 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus rapidly spread throughout the world, hence what started as epidemic in the beginning soon turned into a pandemic. Millions of people became infected and hundreds of thousands of them have died because of the virus, which seems to bring certain unavoidable changes in our lives. This study investigates some of the possible changes in economic, social, and academic life in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.Öğe Human rights and virtuous growth in terms of global economic transformation: Is it possible to return to homo-politicus?(Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2019) Kaya, M. V.; Tığlı, A.Introduction Capitalism is an economic system that gives capital owners the right to acquire private ownership in an unlimited amount and to produce and trade according to their free preferences. In the capitalist economic model, every factor of production can survive with its price. In other words, all phases of the input-output process are priced and the factor that does not get a certain value is vanished from the market. In short, everything exists with its price. The regulations (or deregulation) of the capitalist system are like liberal economic policies. Although capitalism and liberalism point to the same freedom and liberties, there is a difference between them regarding historical process. Capitalism refers to a broad system, which has emerged with the collapse of feudal system1 in Europe since 11th century and is based on ideological2 fundamentals. Liberalism, on the other hand, refers to the ability of financial flows in the form of money and capital to gain international mobility and emerged in 19th and 20th centuries. The key notion that determines the similarities or differences between capitalism and liberalism is globalization. The capital becomes liberal (liquid) as it becomes global. When capitalism was emerging as an ideological based mechanism in Western Europe, the governance of markets and capital was in the control of the Catholic Church. After the French Revolution that was broken out as a reaction against to this system, capitalism exhibited a tendency for liberalization. Hence, capital became free from…. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2019.Öğe An empirical analysis of the association between natural resource rents and corruption(Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2019) Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Ünver, MustafaIntroduction In addition to many government failures that many countries have experienced, corruption has been classified as one of the most significant public sector problems. Corruption causes problems in using resources effectively, which is very important in order to reach full level of employment for economies. In this regard, as we will state in the next section, the determinants of corruption have attracted growing attention in both theoretical and empirical researches due to its potential negative externalities for economies. Rent-seeking activities and thus corrupt behaviors find more rooms to arise in countries possessing ample natural resource rents. However, there are few papers in the corruption literature that examine the links between rent-seeking and the level of corruption. Empirically, some papers have revealed the close relationship between rents and corruption (Arezki and Brückner, 2011; Gnimassoun and Keneck, 2015). Theoretically, there is a negative association between competition level and rent-seeking activity, which means that a decrease in the competition level is accompanied by a higher level of rent-seeking activity. Higher rent-seeking activity results in higher level of corrupted behavior by government officials. In this regard, if a firm, which is under the influence of a bureaucrat, has rents, bureaucrat’s motivation for malfeasant behavior such as bribe will be higher. By the same token, an increase in rents will lead to an increase in the corrupt activities (Ades and Di Tella, 1999: 983). Looking at the literature for rent-seeking, it seems that there are various types…. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2019.Öğe Turkey in the European Union: Implications for agriculture, food and structural policy(Oxford Univ Press, 2007) Acar, Mustafa…
