    (İstnabul Şehir University, Center Fore Modern Turkish Studies, 2019) Güleç, Cansu
    With the outbreak of the grassroots movements in December 2010, the conjuncture of the Middle Eastbegan to undergo a major transformation. The first demonstrations took place in Central Tunisia, andafter a while, a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions spread across thewhole region. With this process, defined as “Arab Spring”, any country affected by the rebellion wavehas experienced different political developments and started to follow different routes. Turkey, as aregional country, has not only monitor developments, but instead followed a very active foreign policytowards the transformations occurred. The aim of this paper is to understand and situate Turkishdiscourse about Arab upheavals in the international environment, specifically in UN General Assembly.Through asking “how” questions, the construction and hierarchical positioning of different actors inthe process will seek to be analyzed. The concepts of “presupposition”, “predication” and “subjectpositioning”, which were borrowed from Roxanne Lynn Doty, will be used as analytical categories toprovide a textual framework. The representational practices through which meaning are generated isimportant in this study. Accordingly, the discursive identities produced by Turkish elites with theirspeech acts will be examined throughout the time in order to understand the attachments to varioussocial objects and subjects in the region. Thus, both continuity and change within the Turkish discoursewould be put forward.

    "human Security" From Liberal Perspective: Is It a Comprehensive Model?
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019) Güleç, Cansu
    Classical liberal ideas were built on the concepts of equality, rationality, freedom and property. In the 18th century, Locke from England, David Hume and Adam Smith in Scotland, Montesque and Voltaire from France and Kant from Germany were the leading liberal thinkers. As an international theory that explained international politics and foreign policy, Liberalism emerged after the First World War. Names like Woodrow Wilson, Hobson, David Mitrany, Karl W. Deutsch, Michael Doyle, Francis Fukuyama, Stanley Hoffmann, Robert O. Keohane are among the most important representatives of liberal thought in international relations. According to Liberalism, world peace might occur with the residence of political and economic liberal norms at both national and international levels; the increase of interdependence and interaction; the international cooperation that carried out under the leadership of intergovernmental organizations; and the protection of human rights and governance. In security studies, the concept of human security is one of the most important concepts of the post-Cold War era that has been scholarly disputed. Indeed, the ethnic and religious-based conflicts after the Cold War led to evolution of the concept “national security” and the increase of the concerns about individual security in international relations. Since then, there have been attempts to “deepen and widen” the concept of security from the level of states to individuals. In that sense, the concept of “human security” considers human being as the reference object of security as well as it places the threats against human beings on the agenda. On the other hand, the mentioned concept objects the monopoly of the state in ensuring security through featuring the actors like international organizations and civil society. Accordingly, the concept of security will be discussed within the scope of liberal theory in this paper. Following the historical evolution, the conceptualizations about human security will be put forward. In addition, the criticisms toward the concept of human security will be analyzed. Finally, the evaluations regarding implementation and execution of human security will be discussed.

    Rom Traditional To New Instruments: the Role of Public Diplomacy in Conflict Prevention
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü, 2018) Güleç, Cansu
    There has been an increase in the number and activity of global actors who are not states; the information revolution has changed the diplomacy field as well as information gathering is concerned; and diplomacy now involves many more participants who are experts in matters other than diplomacy, and hold their positions outside foreign ministries. Public diplomacy is about building relationships that comprises understanding the needs of other countries, cultures and peoples, communicating the points of view and correcting misperceptions. This paper highlights the role and importance of public diplomacy for conflict prevention in international arena. Diplomacy is always based on dialogue, usually between two countries, and dialogue is a crucial element of success as a mean for resolving conflict. Whether the conflict has a historical dimension or is the result of current circumstances, it is important to bring the sides together. When governments do not want or cannot engage in dialogue, it is important to involve parties from the non-government sector. Although in itself will not be the sole solution for peace between the countries, public diplomacy can implement programs to strengthen mutual trust, both within countries with a high degree of risk and in areas with conflict potential. Accordingly, after definition of diplomacy in a general framework, the evolution and role of public diplomacy mechanisms in conflict prevention will be elaborated in this paper.

    Cultural Diplomacy and Turkey in the Age of Globalization
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü, 2015) Güleç, Cansu
    In today’s political world, diplomatic means play a significant role in a country’s efforts to achieve political goals and to promote its image in the international arena. Diplomatic channels are also being used by the governments rather than relying solely on military and economic means in their interactions with other countries. Moreover, in contrast to state-based diplomacy, which involves interactions between governments, nowadays, states’ diplomatic efforts are targeted at people as well. This paper examines the concept and practice of cultural diplomacy. Cultural diplomacy is carried out by a government to support its foreign policy goals or diplomacy or both by using a wide range of cultural manifestations for a number of purposes. In line with these discussions, the paper examines aspects of the cultural diplomacy of Turkey in order to understand how cultural diplomacy has been used as an important tool by Turkey within its relations with the Middle East in recent period with its limitations.

    Avrupa Birliği’nin Göç Politikaları ve Türkiye’ye Yansımaları
    (TESAM, 2015) Güleç, Cansu
    Immigration, which is called as the human dimension of globalization, has a large impact on the culture, economy and politics of the states. With globalization, the wave of migration throughout the world has intensified; the number of legal and illegal immigration and seeking refugees has reached large points as well as has come to include more countries. One of most important of the problems that has faced by European Union, which started in order to achieve a common economic policy after the Second World War and began gradually moving towards a political formation, is immigration toward Union’s territories from outside. Turkey, which is regarded as a country that stands at the intersection of migration in both historical as well as geographical location, could not build a comprehensive immigration policy until the 2000s. In this study, the progress of the European Union and Turkey’s immigration policies will be discussed in the light of the historical background. Nevertheless, the underlying causes of the conditions behind Turkey’s failure to prepare a national migration strategy that can generate the required policies by examining the longterm development will be discussed, despite the EU’s impact on Turkey’s full membership process.

    Thorstein Veblen ve Gösterişçi Tüketim Kavramı
    (Erciyes Üniversitesi, 2015) Güleç, Cansu
    Thorstein Veblen (1857-1928), Amerika’nın ürettiği en bilinen ve etkili sosyal düşünür ve eleştirmenlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. İlk kez 1899’da yayımlanan kitabı “The Theory of The Leisure Class” (Aylak Sınıfı Teorisi) adlı eserinde Veblen, tüketimin gösteriş amacı ile de yapılabildiğini ileri sürmüş, toplum-ekonomi arasındaki ilişkiyi sınıfsal farklılaşmalara da dayandırmıştır. Bu çerçevede Veblen, gösterişçi tüketimin üst sosyal sınıf ve bunlara benzemeye çalışan diğer sınıflar tarafından gösteriş amaçlı olarak yapılan alışverişler olduğunu belirtmiştir. Veblen’in yaşadığı dönemden bu yana genel olarak toplumsal dünyanın ve daha özgül olarak tüketim dünyasının büyük ölçüde değiştiği açıktır. Ancak bugünün aşırı-tüketim dünyasına dair bir bakış açısı kazanmak için Veblen’in fikirlerini tekrar etmek önemli bir referans noktasıdır. Bu hususlar dahilinde bu çalışmanın amacı, “gösterişçi tüketim” kavramının Veblen’in bahsettiği çerçeveden günümüz koşullarında nasıl bir boyut kazandığını anlamak olacaktır.

    Dağlık Karabağ Sorunu: Ermenistan için Çözümsüz Çatışma Olmasının Nedenleri
    (Milli Savunma Üniversitesi, 2015) Güleç, Cansu
    The conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijan around Nagorno-Karabakh was violent between 1988 and 1994. Nevertheless, Nagorno-Karabakh dispute is regarded as one of the frozen conflicts, which has been witnessed for many years. In order to stop and contain the conflict, other states and international organizations advocated peaceful settlement. However, the problem went through a number of phases and has not reached a final solution despite of many years of negotiation under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group. In this context, the objective of this paper is to understand the main impeding factors that prevent peaceful resolution and establishment of a long-lasting peace for Armenia. As a framework to analyze the case of Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, this paper uses the "constructivist theory", which explains national histories and identities as fluid, evolving, and formed over time, and which claims that it is mainly social relationships between agents, structures, and institutions that can lead to ethnic conflicts. Contrary to the primordialist approach, which treats ethnic groups as concrete and independent entities that exist inherently, the explanation of intractability within a constructivist framework constitutes the main difference. In view of this, government policies are also constructed according to interstate perceptions, expectations and the concepts developed towards themselves and others. As a result, rather than only including one-dimensional "ancient hatred" paradigm; "the problem of security", "image of enemy", "other countries" involvement with having interests in the region", and most importantly "internal politics" can be regarded as the contributors to intractability for Armenia.

    Dış Politika Analizinde Karar Verme Süreci ve Karar Verme Modelleri
    (Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 2018) Güleç, Cansu
    Dış Politika Analizi (DPA) alanında çalışmalar yapan araştırmacılar, karar alma sürecini etkile- dikleri sürece bütün analiz düzeylerinden elde edilebilecek açıklayıcı değişkenlerden faydalan- maktadırlar. DPA’nın ilgi alanı başta devletler olmak üzere çeşitli coğrafyalarda karşımıza çıkan çeşitli aktörlerin birbirleriyle etkileşimini incelemek olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu bakış örgütleri, kurumları, partileri, kültürel oluşumları ve bunları oluşturan insanları odağa yerleştirmektedir. DPA bakımından bu etkileşimin en önemli unsuru olarak karar vericiler, başka bir ifadeyle bi- reyler, kabul edilmektedir. Ancak, söz konusu bireylerin rasyonel varsayılması, sosyal bağlam, inanç, algılama, istek gibi niteliklerin görmezden gelinerek mekanik bir sürece oturtulması sonucunu da beraberinde getirebilir. Bu sebepten bu çalışmada, birey odaklı analiz temele alınmakla beraber, sosyal yapıları da bir ölçüde analize dahil eden bir yaklaşım ortaya konma- ya çalışılacak, dış politika kararlarının oluştuğu bürokratik süreçler de incelenerek kurumlar dışlanmayacaktır. Bu makalede, temel olarak birey, devlet, sistem olmak üzere üç analiz düzeyine değinildikten sonra, DPA’da Karar Verme Modelleri’ne ilişkin bir analiz ortaya koyulacaktır. Söz konusu inceleme, siyasal karar alma konusunda hangi modellerin geliştirildiğini ve hangi modelin uygulanabilir olup olmadığını çeşitli yönleriyle anlayabilmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
