Problem Statement: Since the 1980s, classical industrial unionism has been transforming itself in terms of redefining basic value system and strategies they use. Teacher unions are no exception. This paper draws on a study of a teachers union to initiate school-based change in a single state in the United States. The research was conducted as part of a broader initiative to examine the role of "new unionism" in local and state school reform.

Trade liberalization and innovation decisions of firms: Lessons from Post-1980 Turkey Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2003-01-01) Determinants of innovation decisions of Turkish manufacturing firms are estimated for 1989-93, with an emphasis on determinants that are linked to trade policy reforms of the 1980s. Using plant-level data, we find that positive effects of trade liberalization on innovation decision are transmitted mainly through technology embodied in imported machinery. Being a technology licensee, an exporter, or having a foreign partner does not exert a significant positive effect on a firm's probability to innovate, nor...
Finansallaşma, Yeni Sınıfsal Çelişkiler ve Devletin Dönüşümü Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar (2019-01-01) 2000’li yıllar dünya kapitalizminin siyasi ve sınıfsal çelişkilerinin, başka politikaların yanı sıra, artan hanehalkı borçlanması yoluyla idare edilmeye çalışıldığı yıllardır. ABD’nin 2000’lerin başından itibaren uyguladığı parasal genişleme politikalarından beslenen bu sürecin, 2013’ten itibaren yine ABD’deki para politikası değişiklikleriyle sonuna gelinmiş görünmektedir. Bu makale, son yıllarda dünya çapında artan otoriterleşme eğilimlerini butarihsel bağlam içinde düşünmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede,...
Future of regulation theory: open-endedness and post-disciplinarity Karabıyıkoğlu, Mert; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2007) Since the early 1970s, regulation theory have analysed the restructuring of capitalist economies in historical time. As early studies within that political economic research were againt the structural-functionalism explicit in Marxist theories of capitalism at the time on the one hand, and the closed theoretical system of neoclassical economics on the other, regulationists soon resorted to an open-method analysis of stylised facts. Such a method is none other than a middle-range theory. This study touches u...
Collaborative working spaces: project ecologies and means of interaction and collaboration Ertan, Seren; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2019) Industrial revolutions through time changed the nature of work and triggered a shift from a 'service' economy towards a knowledge-based economy that is derived from information and ideas. This shift, which was concerned with organizing data and products, to a 'knowledge' economy that relied on worldwide information and communications network, brought along the necessity of reconsidering work practices and concepts. Changing work practices caused organizations to become more agile and flexible towards consta...

The study will generally discuss the main dynamics before going through the news analyses of four national and nine local newspapers. This news of national and local m...
