Can science diplomacy address the global climate change challenge? Ozkaragoz Dogan, Elif; Uygun, Zafer; Akçomak, İbrahim Semih (Wiley, 2020-09-01) Science diplomacy has been used for the broad purpose of international knowledge management.

This paper investigates the temporal relationship between the growth rates of energy consumption and GDP in China in a ...
Can Developing Countries Maintain Financial Stability after the Global Crisis? The Role of External Financial Shocks Cömert, Hasan (2018-01-01) The recent global turmoil severely affected some developing economies.

What were the main factors behind their relatively better performance? We argue that the main reason was the relatively moderate financial account shocks, in terms of both magnitude and duration, experienced by developing economies during the global ...
