Indeed, while Turkey has one of the lowest female labour force participation rates amongst countri...
RESISTANCE TO REGIME CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE EAST A Liberation Theology of the Neo-con Variety? Polat, Necati (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) Understanding authoritarian regimes in the Middle East as pure cynicism, or as leftovers of past and native despotisms, with scarce attention paid to the modern complicity in the sustaining of these regimes, arguably lacks a much needed insight into the strength of the regimes.

Questioning the publicness of public spaces in post industrial cities Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2005-01-01) The proliferation of alluring, distinctive and exclusive public spaces in many postindustrial cities raises the question of how far these environments are truly "public." Focusing on this question, this article explores the changing "publicness" of a recently redeveloped space in the city center of Newcastle upon Tyne, Britain, in relation to the dimensions of access, actor and interest. It further seeks to underline two emerging trends: the blurring of distinction between public and private spaces in the p...
