This paper examines the recent financial crisis in Southern Europe in comparison with Eastern Europe. The findings of the paper are as follows: (i) Firstly, the economic space of the EU can no longer be taken as homogeneous, and the core-periphery structures must be examined more thoroughly; (ii) Second, while the crisis is seen everywhere in Europe as it is attested by the low growth rates in the 2000s, the fates of Eastern and Southeastern Europe have diverged from each other, for they have different ways of articulation with the European and German productive core.

Leading indicators of currency crises: the case of Turkey Ant, Müge; Ekinci, Nazım; Department of Economics (2002) This thesis examines the 1994 and 2001 currency crises in Turkey from the perspective of the leading indicators of currency crises. By applying a methodology proposed by Kaminsky, Lizondo and Reinhart in 1998, the study examines the behaviour of the leading indicators in Turkey in the 1990s and determines whether fundamentals were deteriorated on the eve of the crises. The thesis also attempts to identify the variables that are most useful in predicting possible currency crises in Turkey.
Monetary policy trilemma, inflation targeting and global financial crisis Gulsen, Eda; Özmen, Erdal (Wiley, 2020-04-01) We empirically investigate the validity of the monetary policy trilemma postulation for emerging market (EME) and advanced (AE) economies under different exchange rate and monetary policy regimes before and after the recent global financial crisis (GFC). Consistent with the dilemma proposition, domestic interest rates are determined by global financial conditions and the FED rate even under floating exchange rate regimes (ERR) in the long-run. The impact of the FED rates is higher in EME than AE and EME are...
Crisis and search for political alternatives in Southern Europe: SYRIZA, Indignados and Five Stars Movement Bozkurt Güngen, Sümercan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2014-12) The main purpose of this article is to examine and discuss political strategies of three different political organizations -SYRIZA in Greece, 15M Movement/Indignados in Spain, and M5S/Five Stars Movement in Italy- which gained prominence during the debt crisis management processes in Southern Europe in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It particularly focuses upon alternative strategies framed or implied by them regarding the way out of the debt and legitimacy crises. It is argued that their emergence as...
Macroeconomic Effects of Information and Communication Technologies in Turkey and Other OECD Member Countries Karagöl, Burak; Erdil, Erkan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2012) This paper investigates the effects of ICT on economic growth in Turkey and other OECD member countries. After discussing the theoretical relationships between ICT usage and economic growth, we test the positive impact of ICT revolution on economic growth econometrically. In the empirical part of the study, we perform panel data analyses by employing data sets that belong to 30 OECD member countries for 1999-2008 period as well as carrying out time series analyses for only Turkey by using data between 1980 ...
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...
