Albania’s quest for the EU membership and the prolonged integration process
Kurti, Elda; Türkeş, Mustafa; Department of International Relations (2013)
The main aim of this thesis is to analyze Albania’s ongoing EU integration process and to consider Albania’s bid for the EU membership. This study, by providing an overview of Albania-EU relations in time and presenting an analysis of the stances of the social forces in the country regarding the EU integration process, aims to reveal the existence or not of a hegemonic pro-membership perspective in this regard. In addition, an analysis of the EU’s stance towards this Albania’s quest for the EU membership is...
The NGOs as policy actors : the case of TÜSİAD with regard to Turkey's Eu membership
Gündem, Şebnem; Dağı, İhsan Duran; Department of European Studies (2004)
This study explores the effectiveness of NGOs within the policy process and governments2 decisions based on the case of TÜSİAD2s activities with regard to Turkey2s full membership process in the European Union. It firstly explains the process by which NGOs2 have become 3actors4 in world politics. The thesis, then, scrutinizes the role of NGOs in the policy process with regard to pluralist and corporatist paradigms and the concept of power since policy process can not be well understood without this theoreti...
Transformation and the "politics of conditionality" : a comparative analysis of Poland and Romania until the mid-1990s
Akşit, Sait; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of International Relations (2006)
This thesis examines the socio-economic transformation processes in Poland and Romania and aims to embed them in broader structural and historical context of changes. The main argument is that transformation processes in the states of Central and Eastern Europe are constituted by the global processes of change within a social totality. The study has three main objectives. First, it aims to provide a theoretical framework challenging the mainstream approaches methodologically/ontologically to point out to th...
Energy-efficient routing to maximize network lifetime in wireless sensor networks
Zengin, Aslı; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
With various new alternatives of low-cost sensor devices, there is a strong demand for large scale wireless sensor networks (WSN). Energy efficiency in routing is crucial for achieving the desired levels of longevity in these networks. Existing routing algorithms that do not combine information on transmission energies on links, residual energies at nodes, and the identity of data itself, cannot reach network capacity. A proof-of-concept routing algorithm that combines data aggregation with the minimum-weig...
The Specters of colonialism: epistemic racialization of european muslims and Islam in Europe
Sağır, Çiğdem; Topal, Çağatay; Department of Sociology (2014)
Beginning in the 1990s, an increasing tension has developed between Europe and the Muslims who live there.
