This thesis seeks to analyze the relationship between social and solidarity economy and post-World War II development thinking. Social and solidarity economy is a notion which is highly contested. Different actors define it in different ways and consequently propose different policies. Development thinking emerged in the post- WW II era to eliminate poverty and inequality among people and countries. Social and solidarity economy can be matched with human development and sustainable development in the mentioned development theories. In order to analyze this, I compared the general principles and looked at the missions they assigned to various actors during the development process. Moreover, the social and solidarity economy includes both social and economic dimensions unlike other economic systems. While its social dimension brings it closer to human development, its environmental sensitivity makes it possible to relate it to sustainable development.- Therefore, I argue that there is a closeness between the social and solidarity economy and sustainable and human development paradigms.

Institutional political economy of economic development and global governance Özçelik, Emre; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2006) There are two inter-related themes of this thesis: Economic development and global governance. We develop a perspective of what we call ‘Institutional International Political Economy’ (IIPE) in order to: i) assess the likelihood of developmental success on the part of the Third World countries in the twenty-first century, and ii) analyze the developmental and world-systemic implications of the so-called ‘global governance model’, which we conceptualize as an ultra-liberal capitalist project on the part of...
The Limits of realist conception of security: examing the views of Campbell and Waever / Seven, Elfesiya; Deveci, Cem; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2015) This thesis examines two different and contemporary theories which criticize the centrality of “security issues” in the re-establishment of the post-Cold War international order as one of the fundamental principles of the realist school. The views of David Campbell and Copenhagen Securitization School focus on the role of “the security issue” in the determination of the Cold War policies, and ask whether this security care lost its effects or not in the process of determination of foreign policies. Both of ...

An Appraisal of Debates on the Turkish-Soviet Break-Up and Turkey's Reorientation to the West from a Systemic Perspective Akdan, Tolgahan (2020-03-03) This study seeks to examine how the mainstream and radical circles interpreted the developments in Turkish-Soviet relations starting in 1939 and the causes of Turkey's historical reorientation towards the Western alliance under the conditions of rising inter-systemic confrontation of the Cold War. This article suggests that both the mainstream and the radical circles have not adequately taken into consideration the fundamental changes in the international order in both pre- and post-war developments. It arg...
An evolution of the human rights policy of the European Union Noyan, Gülnur; Dağı, İhsan Duran; Department of International Relations (2006) This thesis concentrates on the development of human rights policy of the European Economic Communities(EEC) within its transformation process into a political organization. the assumption underlying this study is that the EEC was established following World War II as a regional solution that would enable the restructuring of Europe on the bases of power, stability, and peace. this thesis deals with enlargement as a security-oriented strategy, while, at the same time, it endeavors to analyze the EEC treatme...
