The network governance approach and the activities of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Turkey
Kurt, Ömür; Okyayuz, Mehmet; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2008)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the activities of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, one of the German political foundations in Turkey, within the context of the network governance approach. Several tools within this approach are used as heuristic devices to elaborate the relationships of the KAS in the Turkish political terrain. Among these tools, the concept of informality provides a crucial insight to explore the activities of the KAS. This thesis argues that the weight of informal, non-governmental me...

Although inclusion of women and gender concerns in current peace processes lags behind expectations, the WPS agenda...

The portrayal of “civil society” or “global civil society” as a homogenous as well as inherently democratic and peaceful sphere that is opposed to an equally homogenous power-seeking state h...
