Article Quality of Government Cohesion Across EU Regions: Success or Failure(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026-01-16) Karahasan, Burhan CanRegional differences in institutions is a threat for political and economic integration. In this paper, we analyse the institutional convergence across regions of the European Union (EU). Preliminary results show that there is continuous improvement fostering institutional convergence. However, heterogeneity analyses point-out that the speed of institutional development is influenced by the enlargement phases of the union. Additional results indicate that the regions of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries and the southern regions belonging to Greece and Spain experience faster institutional convergence. Accordingly, the enlargement process, fostering further heterogeneity, is an important element to improve the institutional quality of the new EU members. However, temporal convergence trends show that the dynamics of institutional convergence shift over time, reflecting the non-stationary evolution of success-failure cases.Book Part Precarious Work and Individual Deprivation During the Post-COVID Era: Lessons From Turkey(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2025-05-13) Kinikoğlu, C.N.; Karahasan, B.C.Article Citation - WoS: 1Populism and Income Inequality: Is Income Inequality in Türkiye a Political Choice?(Istanbul Univ, 2024-12-31) Asfuroğlu, DilaThe argument that national inequalities are political and thereby driven by political decisions implies that income distribution is not merely an economic phenomenon but also a political one. Hence, this study explores the impact of populist governance on income inequality in T & uuml;rkiye. In doing so, this study addresses whether income inequality in T & uuml;rkiye is a political choice, drawing on economic, social, and political data over the years 20082022. According to the results of the quantitative analysis, the share of income for the working class has fallen, the income gap between the lowest and highest deciles of the working class has narrowed, and the potential for fiscal interventions to reduce income inequality is not realised. In return, the income inequality that existed in 2008 has persisted at the same magnitude over the years. In other words, even if income inequality is not an explicit political choice, the populist governance in T & uuml;rkiye between 2008 and 2022 has chosen not to contribute to the solution to this prevailing inequality.
