Dam Development Trajectory in the Euphrates-Tigris River Basin: Challenges and Prospects
(Radio Television Suisse (RTS), 2019) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
Transboundary water relations in the Euphrates-Tigris basin have been marked with political confrontations among the riparian states, namely Turkey, Syria and Iraq, mainly due to uncoordinated construction, filling and operation of large-scale dams. Yet, technical cooperation on dam safety has been a common concern for the three riparians. But, due to the troubles that they had to endure, such as the US invasion of Iraq and the civil war in Syria, trilateral cooperation has not been possible. On bilateral level, however, government officials and water professionals from Turkey and Iraq have been spending efforts for developing projects to build joint dams on the border. Nevertheless, the Turkey–Iraq track fell short of adopting joint strategies for responding to the actions of violent non-state actors (e.g., ISIS) and could not build a basin-wide understanding for protecting dams against the effects of armed conflict. Thus, while discussions on global principles (i.e., Geneva List of Principles) for protection of water continue, new political trajectory in the basin urges the riparian states to reflect on the possible ways and means of improving protection of dams under international law during and after armed conflicts.
Democracy, Identity, and Foreign Policy in Turkey: Hegemony Through Transformation
(Routledge, 2015) Saatçioğlu, Beken
book was more comparative, or merely that the title of the book was more indicative of the book’s British focus; thus the book would be more self-explanatory. However, my favorable impression of the book is that, while it primarily appeals to politics and IR instructors in the UK, who themselves use either the traditional or creative approaches to teaching politics and IR, its rich innovative approach will remain a long-standing success as a reference toolfor future studies.
Disarmament While the Chance Remains
(2017) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
Here’s the question I can’t help but ask as I read through this roundtable, including some readers’ responses to it: What’s so wrong with discussing a nuclear weapon ban treaty? This seemingly simple question can be understood in at least two ways. First, it’s a reaction to certain critics of the ban treaty initiative who believe that the initiative has little chance of forcing disarmament and therefore is a futile waste of time. Well, when you get right down to it, does anyone use his or her time in the most effective way possible, at all times, throughout life? Probably not! So how come engaging in intellectual discussion about a nuclear weapon ban treaty is an especially egregious waste of time?
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2016 Comparing Regulatory Good Practices
(World Bank, 2016) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
An enabling environment for the business of agriculture is critical to respond to evolving market trends. It includes macroeconomic and sector-specific laws, policies, regulations, support services, information structures and labor force preparedness. It sets the stage for all business activities that have to do with producing goods on farms and transporting them to processors and consumers. Understanding this environment can help create policies that facilitate doing business in agriculture and increase the investment attractiveness and competitiveness of countries.
End To Nuke Deal May Start ‘era Worse Than Cold War: Expert
(Hurriyet Daily News, 2019) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
The US announcement at the beginning of the month that it is suspending its compliance with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty can lead to the demise of an arms control regime opening the way to an era of uncertainty with devastating consequences said a scholar. In the resulting tension between Moscow and Washington the parties could opt to give each other messages via limited scale crisis and Turkey risks to be one of the setting areas of these crisis warned Professor Mustafa Kibaroğlu.

Facing Water Challenges in the Middle East
(Middle East Institute, 2016) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
The vital importance of water for human security and sustainable developmenthas received worldwide attention. Much emphasis has been placed on theglobal status of water, namely water scarcity and a lack of access to clean waterand sanitation. Certain regions are far weaker than others in terms of sharedsurface and groundwater resources between two or more countries. The MiddleEast and North Africa (MENA) is regarded as one of the most challenged regionsin this regard.
Good News From Vienna Is a Relief To Ankara
(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2015) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa; Sazak, Selim C.
After months of harrowing negotiations, the nuclear talks in Vienna have finally succeeded, marking the most significant accord between Iran and major world powers since Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979. Absent from the festivities, however, was one country that worked hard to bring this day forth—Turkey.
How Plutonium Undermines the Hibakusha
(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2015) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
Akira Kawasaki wrote in Round One that the noble disarmament efforts of the Hibakusha—survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—"have often been ignored" outside Japan. Indeed, the Hibakusha's message has "sometimes been misinterpreted so badly" that it has "been portrayed as an incentive for nations to develop nuclear weapons in the name of deterrence."
İran ile Nükleer Müzakereler: Aklın Yolunda Yürümek
(Al Jazeera Turk, 2014) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
ABD ve İran dışişleri bakanlarının son görüşmesinde taraflar arasında temel görüş ayrılıklarının tümüyle giderilmesini ve 24 Kasım’a kadar bir anlaşmaya varılmasını beklemek fazla iyimserlik olacaktır. Ancak sürecin kesileceğini beklemek de doğru değil. Görüşmelerin sürmesinin tarafların ortak çıkarına olduğunu söylemek daha isabetli olacaktır.

Nuclear Weapons: Not Taboo Enough
(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2015) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
I wish I could argue that the world had properly absorbed the lessons of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Unfortunately, I must argue the opposite. Why? First and foremost, large numbers of people around the world believe that dropping the atomic bombs—regardless of how catastrophic the consequences were for the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—saved lives, perhaps millions of them, by bringing World War II to a prompt conclusion. But history doesn't substantiate this point of view. Japan had already lost much ground in the Asia-Pacific region. Europe's fascist regimes had fallen; the war had ended in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East; and Japan was left to fight its enemies alone. Under such circumstances the Japanese Empire couldn't have prolonged the war much longer in any case.
On Turkey's Missile Defense Strategy: the Four Faces of the S-400 Deal Between Turkey and Russia
(Republic of Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2019) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
The S-400 deal signed between Turkey and Russia has sparked an intense debate in the international arena, where harsh criticisms have been leveled against Turkey, extending from whether Turkey needs to spend billions of dollars to buy an air defense system whose effectiveness has not yet been entirely proven across a spectrum of air-borne threats, to how Turkey's longstanding alliance relationship with the US and its status in NATO as a prominent Ally might be severely damaged due to the country's increasing degree of rapprochement with Russia. Hence, this paper will, first of all, explain the reasons behind Turkey's desire to build an elaborate air defense structure, and discuss how and why its successive attempts to reach this objective in collaboration with the allied countries have failed. Second, the paper will highlight the major arguments behind the severe criticisms in the West concerning Turkey's negotiations, first with a Chinese firm, and then with a Russian firm, and how this entire process has become a serious bone of contention between Turkey and the US, carrying a risk of a spill over into NATO. Third, the paper will discuss why and how the severe sanctions threatened to be imposed on Turkish defense industries by the Trump administration will indeed damage the security and the defensive capability not only of Turkey, but also the United States. Fourth, the paper will elaborate on how the intense debate on the S-400 deal with Russia has become a politically motivating factor for young Turks to join the defense industries sector, and for the government to further support and sponsor domestic research and development projects in this field. Finally, the paper will conclude with remarks and recommendations with a view to finding a breakthrough in the strained relations between Turkey and US stemming from its decision to buy the Russian S-400 air defense system.
Prof. Dr. Kibaroğlu: Hava Savunma Sistemi Türkiye için Acil İhtiyaç
(Star, 2017) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
Türkiye’nin hali hazırda kısıtlı sayıda ve kısıtlı kapasitede hava savunma sistemleri var. Ancak, güncel ve gelecekteki tehdidin boyutları ile “sürpriz saldırı” ihtimali dikkate alındığında kesinlikle yeterli olmayacaktır.
Reality: Humanity Can’t Indefinitely Avoid Using Nuclear Weapons
(2017) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
A Bulletin reader named Ryan Alt argues in the comments to this roundtable that “it is very difficult to imagine [a nuclear weapon] ban [treaty] as anything more than wishful thinking.” Another reader, Keith B. Rosenberg, writes that one should “[n]ever make a treaty that will not be adhered to”—essentially, that the ban treaty is too idealistic to be feasible. I’ll argue the opposite—that realistically appraising nuclear weapons and their dangers demands the negotiation of a ban treaty. What is overly idealistic is to believe that humanity, if it possesses nuclear weapons indefinitely, will indefinitely manage to avoid nuclear war.

As part of this project, Ayşegül Kibaroğlu was invited as the visiting scholar by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, UT, Austin to co-convene a gradute course (policy research project) on sustainable governance of international rivers in 2016.
Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Euphrates-Tigris and Rio Grande/Bravo
(TX: LBJ School of Public Affairs, 2016) Schmandt, Jurgen; Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
This publication arose from a Policy Research Project on the sustainability of river systems. Our team of faculty members and graduate students studied water management issues in two river systems—Euphrates-Tigris (ET) and Rio Grande/Bravo-Conchos (RG). (The Rio Grande is called the Ri´o Bravo in Mexico, hence we often use both names). Occasionally we also refer to the Colorado River because it is managed together with the Rio Grande/Bravo by the same international agency, the International Border and Water Commission (IBWC). These rivers are part of a ten-river project called Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands (SERIDAS).
The Euphrates-Tigris Initiative for Cooperation (etic)
