In today’s global and multipolar international system, different diplomatic methods are practiced besides the traditional diplomatic methods. Science Diplomacy, which is based on knowledge-based international scientific and technological cooperation, emerges as an important foreign policy tool. Science Diplomacy has three main components, which are namely “science in diplomacy”, “diplomacy for science” and “science for diplomacy”. In this PhD thesis, the main reasons behind the development and usage of Science Diplomacy as a contemporary method of diplomacy, especially in the post-Cold War period are analyzed. In this context, the possible premises of mainstream International Relations theories in analyzing the practice of Science Diplomacy in the modern international system are also defined. The main research question is the place and role of Science Diplomacy in the future international role of Turkey as an emerging world economy. In this respect, the USA and Germany examples are also studied. In terms of the methodology, it is mainly based on qualitative research method using secondary resources, besides interviews with science diplomats and experts as well as short study-visits to the key governmental and academic institutions both in Turkey and abroad. It is considered to be one of the first academic studies at the PhD level on the topic of Science Diplomacy in Turkey. It ends with some policy recommendations for Turkey in the field of Science Diplomacy.

Political legimitimacy of nation state : shifts within the global context
Ateş, Davut; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2004)
The thesis investigates the basis of possible sources of shifts in the classical conceptualizations of political legitimacy of nation state as a result of the impositions of globalization. To this end, it first suggested that we should have a theory of globalization. Globalization in the fields of economy, politics, society, culture and identity along with fragmentation provides crucial changes in the roles and functions of the state, which result in fundamental transformation in the distinctive features of...
Global public diplomacy
Aksoy, Vildan; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2019)

In order to discuss this argument, the thesis seeks to explore various cases in which public diplomacy is practiced differently. In this respect, the cases of the United States of America, Britain, China and Turkey have been analyzed. The thesis demonstrates that states increasingly tend to use public diplomac...
De-nationalising Nationalism in Iran: An Account on the Interaction between Domestic and International Dynamics
Ergun Özbolat, Ayça (Uluslararasi Iliskiler Dergisi, 2020-12-01)
The discipline of International Relations is increasingly paying attention to nationalism, although this attention is mostly limited with the role of nationalism on international system. By presenting an approach born out of the intersection of Historical Sociology in International Relations (HSIR) and the Modernist School of Nationalism, this paper aims at expanding the terrain of nationalism studies in International Relations (IR). Using Iran as an example, it demonstrates that three basic premises of HSI...
