Perceptions of America as a powerful but malevolent nation decrease its security. On the basis of measures derived from the stereotype content model (SCM) and image theory (IT), 5,000 college students in I I nations indicated their perceptions of the personality traits of, intentions of, and emotional reactions to the United States as well as their reactions to relevant world events (e.g., 9/11). The United States was generally perceived as competent but cold and arrogant. Although participants distinguished between the United States' government and its citizens, differences were small. Consistent with the SCM and IT, viewing the United States as intent on domination predicted perceptions of lack of warmth and of arrogance but not of competence and status. The discussion addresses implications for terrorist recruitment and ally support.

CONCEPTUALISING COUNTERTERRORISM Crelinsten, Ronald (2019-01-01) The concept of human security reflects the view that international security cannot be achieved unless the peoples of the world are free from violent threats to their lives, their safety, or their rights. As suggested by Abraham Maslow, the tools that a particular counterterrorism (CT) approach uses can often reflect a particular conception of terrorism and the threat it poses. Those responsible for countering terrorism must therefore broaden their toolboxes so as to avoid narrow, truncated conceptions of th...
Motherhood in hard times: phenomenological study on mothers responses, concerns and coping in relation to terrorist attacks in Turkey Gökyar, Meryem; Erdur Baker, Özgür; Department of Educational Sciences (2017) Human made disasters like wars, forced immigration and terrorism leads to a global security problem. Turkey is not an exception, in terms of experiencing civil war, several terrorist attacks, coups and refugee issues. In this present study, 21 mothers of children between ages 3-15 were interviewed about their own and children’s responses to the recent terrorist attacks.

Is there any security preference for Turkey between the Eu and U.S.? Ünal, Kemal; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Department of European Studies (2005) The recent global security challenges such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction etc. have altered the security perceptions of the countries. For opposing those new security threats the U.S. and the EU generated their own security discourses. Accordingly, they tackle the issues with diverging perceptions. This diversion paves the way for a debate between two sides. In the mean time, Turkey has established her security architecture in accordance with the Western international community. ...
Intelligence Cooperation in the European Union: An Impossible Dream? Bilgi, Şeniz (2016-01-01) There has been a shift in the intelligence and security strategies of the states since 9/11. The attacks created a new security environment in which intelligence has become increasingly significant. Not only have the responsibilities and tasks of intelligence agencies become more important, but the necessity for intelligence and security service cooperation among nations has also increased. Accordingly, intelligence agencies had to update their strategies to put more emphasis on collaboration. This article ...
Sociological analysis of organised criminality in Turkey Beşe, Ertan; Mutlu, Kayhan; Department of Sociology (2005) This thesis argues that organized crime is a sociological phenomenon with criminological dimensions that constitutes a threat to public security and order, economic development, social integrity, democracy and peace in Turkey, and consequently to the national security of the country. Sociological and political causes of organized criminality will be assessed through a multidimensional approach based on the identification of different conceptual areas and related indicators that characterize organized crime ...
