The last two decades saw sweeping changes in the pharmaceutical patent policies of the developing countries from weak/non patentability to strong patent regimes. Analysing the policy change from a political economy approach, this paper pursues two simultaneous objectives. Firstly, it explores the common factors underlying the recent changes in the pharmaceutical patent policies of the developing countries. Secondly, it analyses the sources of the differential policy outcomes on pharmaceutical patents in India and Turkey.

Contest in the boundaries of corporate social responsibility: emergence of nongovernmental systems of labour regulation in the textile and apparel industry Gündüz, Burcu; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2009) The thesis investigates the reasons behind the proliferation of non-governmental systems of labour regulation in the textile and apparel industry in the USA, European Union and Turkey. The aim of the study is to identify the main structural factors, strategies and agencies which drive the process for the emergence of these systems within the confines of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) discourse and assess their effectiveness and sustainability as a form of regulation.

Bargaining in legislatures over private and public goods with endogenous recognition Genc, Hakan; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01) This paper studies a sequential model of multilateral bargaining under majority rule in which legislators make decisions in both private and public good dimensions via an endogenous recognition process. Legislators can expend resources to become the proposer and to make proposals about the allocation of private and public goods. We show that legislators exert unproductive effort to be the proposer and make proposals in both dimensions depending on legislative preferences. Effort choices in equilibrium depen...
How to Create a Friendly Environment for Innovation? A Case for Europe Ege, Aylin; Ege, A. Yavuz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-01) It is a misjudgement to assume that R&D subsidies, patent protections or alike are sufficient to promote innovation.

The aim of this paper is to look for the major factors which are the building blocks or pillars of such an environment. After discussing and analysing the theoretical and empirical studies on the major social and political factors which are the likely constituents of our inquired environment, fo...
The politics of neoliberal transformation on the periphery: a critical comparison of Greece and Turkey Gonenc, Defne; Durmaz, Günseli (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01) Financialization and neoliberal globalization have increased the dependency of peripheral countries on core economies. This paper tracks the neoliberalization processes of Greece and Turkey, two neighbouring countries on the periphery of Europe. By using a comparative political economy method and borrowing from the variegated capitalism literature, it critically investigates how these two Mediterranean countries were affected by the 2008 global financial crisis, their variant responses, and the impacts of t...
Transformation of social and political demands through ballot box: from los Indignados to Podemos Bedir, Nurdan Selay; Göksel Uçak, Asuman; Department of European Studies (2017) After 2008 crisis, alternative remedies and resistance against this age’s predominant neoliberal policies have been sought in many states and societies. Europeans harshly encountered with the crisis and governments’ and the EU’s crisis management policies raised multilateral and multilevel struggles like: the Pots and Pans Revolution in Iceland (2009), the Geração à Rasca in Portugal (2011), the Indignant Citizens Movement in Greece (2010), and los Indignados (15M) in Spain (2011). These movements had world...
