Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10The Role of Irrigation Associations and Privatization Policies in Irrigation Management in Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Kibaroğlu, AyşegülIn Turkey, the nearly total transfer of irrigation systems to the irrigation associations improved the collection of irrigation fees, but not water use efficiency. The Irrigation Associations Law initially accorded decentralized irrigation associations clear legal status as decentralized entities, but amendments to the law have restored significant government control over their administration. Privatization through service procurement and build-operate-transfer models was promoted by an enabling legal environment, but failed in implementation due to lack of consensus among stakeholders.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Food Banks and Food Insecurity: Cases of Brazil and Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Görmüş, EvrimThe ascendency of global neoliberal economic policies seriously challenged universalist and right-based welfare policies and promoted the idea of targeted and selective allocations to the poor with private provision for the better of in both high-income and developing countries since the mid-1980s. This article focuses on food banking as an example of targeted social provisioning and provides contrasting observations from food bank programs in Brazil and Turkey. The article traces some different approaches and practices of food banks, and argues that food banks could be part of the progressive social policies that address the root causes of hunger among developing countries within neoliberal economic restructuring.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 64Water–energy–food Nexus in a Transboundary Context: the Euphrates–tigris River Basin as a Case Study(Taylor & Francis, 2015) Gürsoy, Sezin Iba; Kibaroğlu, AyşegülThe interlinkage between water, energy and food security and its transboundary relevance is becoming increasingly important. The paper analyses the evolution of transboundary water resources management in the Euphrates–Tigris basin with specific reference to interlinkages between water, food and energy policies at national and transboundary levels, and it explores how the policy shifts at the highest decision-making level have served to produce synergies for cooperation among the riparians or vice versa.Editorial Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Searching for Sustainability in Theory and Practice(Taylor & Francis, 2017) Schmandt, Jurgen; Ward, George; Kibaroğlu, AyşegülBeginning in the early twentieth century and progressing rapidly since the 1950s, large-scale water works have created engineered rivers. In dry-land basins they control flooding and provide water and energy to farms, cities and industry. Yet, they face numerous challenges. In 2013 we formed an interdisciplinary team to study future conditions of nine river basins worldwide. This paper presents the methodology and interim results for two of our basins, the Rio Grande and the Euphrates-Tigris. We conclude with a new definition of the sustainability of engineered rivers in arid lands, using dependable reservoir yield under drought conditions as the central indicator.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16An Analysis of Turkey’s Water Diplomacy and Its Evolving Position Vis-À International Water Law(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Kibaroğlu, AyşegülThis article analyzes Turkey’s transboundary water policy by examining its institutional framework and basic principles. It explores the reasons why Turkey voted against the UN Watercourses Convention. Turkey’s harmonization with the water law of the European Union is also scrutinized with an aim to assess its implications for transboundary water policy making. Turkish water diplomacy faces new challenges, such as the devastating impacts of prolonged droughts as well as ongoing instability and conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Hence, it is imperative for Turkey to systematically reconcile its water policy objectives in accordance with the global norms that are adopted in this field
