Turkey's asylum dilemma and process of EU harmonization
Su, Esra; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of European Studies (2008)
Turkey has been one of the few countries that signed the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees with the provision of maintaining geographical limitation to that of offering protection only to European nationals.

This paper reviews the patterns of fiscal adjustment against the backdrop of the main macroeconomic trends in the 1990s and...
Turkey-Syria Relations: Between Enmity and Amity
Hinnebusch, Raymond; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem (Ashgate, 2013-01-01)
