The aim of this thesis is to explore legal foundations of the global biodiversity regime established within the scope of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) including a historical background and pre-CBD conventions on the conservation of biological diversity. In addition, the post-CBD era including Protocols on biosafety; liability and redress on biosafety and access and benefit-sharing established under the CBD regime are also explained to have a comprehensive understanding on the particular issue area: “Biological Diversity”. For this purpose, the significance and concepts of biological diversity, features of the CBD and its three Protocols are examined. These Protocols are: i) The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, ii) The Nagoya – Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol to the Cartagena Protocol on Liability and Redress and iii) The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Subject Keywords

Biodiversity., Biological Diversity, Biosafety, Liability and Redress, Access and Benefit-sharing.

The role of institutions in promoting public interest within the context of cultural and natural heritage conservation: the case of Gökova Özdemir, Gizem Ergüç; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009) This thesis discusses the role of institutions in promoting public interest within the context of cultural and natural heritage conservation. Due to the fact that the concept of public interest is controversial and may differ from one context to another, and that there are numerous institutions, the role of institutions in public interest promoting process limited to the context of conservation. A large number of public institutions develop policies that have significant implications for the conservation of...
Contrasting roles of water chemistry, lake morphology, land-use, climate and spatial processes in driving phytoplankton richness in the Danish landscape Özkan, Korhan; Sondergaard, Martin; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Liboriussen, Lone; Svenning, Jens-Christian (2013-06-01) Understanding of the forces driving the structure of biotic communities has long been an important focus for ecology, with implications for applied and conservation science. To elucidate the factors driving phytoplankton genus richness in the Danish landscape, we analyzed data derived from late-summer samplings in 195 Danish lakes and ponds in a spatially-explicit framework. To account for the uneven sampling of lakes in the monitoring data, we performed 1,000 permutations. A random set of 131 lakes was ass...
Discovering functional interaction patterns in protein-protein interaction networks Turanalp, Mehmet E.; Can, Tolga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-11) Background: In recent years, a considerable amount of research effort has been directed to the analysis of biological networks with the availability of genome-scale networks of genes and/or proteins of an increasing number of organisms. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is a particular biological network which represents physical interactions between pairs of proteins of an organism. Major research on PPI networks has focused on understanding the topological organization of PPI networks, evolution...
The relationship between human and nature -as conceptionalized by the representatives of the selected environmental NGOs in Turkey Akman, Zeynep İdil; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel; Department of Social Policy (2011) This thesis studies the perceptions of the selected representatives of environmental non-governmental organizations’ (NGO) about the human and nature relationship in Turkey. The representatives of the NGOs’ perceptions about human-nature relationship are studied refering to four dimensions, Production and Consumption processes, Energy Production, role of Science and Technology, and the concept of Sustainability. Approaches of the NGOs about Policies and the Activities of Environmental NGOs in Turkey are als...
Bringing Critical Political Economy Back In: Neoliberal State Transformations and the Anthropology of the State Bodırsky, Katharına(2016-12-31) The objective of the proposed study is to develop a critical political economic approach within the anthropology of the state, an approach that combines the respective strengths of critical political economy and anthropology: a systemic perspective on the role of the state in reproducing unequal social orders with an ethnographic sensibility for global differences and local complexities. The emphasis in the first part of the study in 2016 will be on developing a framework for the study of 1) uneven geograph...
