This country report includes a detailed analysis of reception policies, practices and humanitarian responses from state actors and non-state agencies in Turkey. Data on policies were retrieved through desk research on policy papers and documents at national and sub-national levels, building on the international and EU framework. The analysis of secondary data includes the elaboration of maps of reception policies, practices and humanitarian responses and new typologies of these policies, practices and responses. Evidence on existing practices and responses at the grassroots level have been gathered through interviews and roundtable discussions with key-informants and gatekeepers such as national/local authorities, and NGO representatives. The report also includes the analysis of migrants' perceptions, actions and reactions to reception policies and practices in Turkey. The main framework of reception regulations in Turkey is drawn by the Law on Foreigners and International Protection and the Temporary Protection Regulation, both of which were put into force in 2014. Both documents include provisions about housing, education, labour market, allowances, health services and information/counselling services. The definition and scope of 'reception' in Turkish legislation includes various material conditions including housing, food and clothing provided in kind, or as financial allowances or in vouchers, or a combination of the three, and a daily allowance. Reception also covers matters of education, basic health care and accommodation which ought to be provided during the period of reception. Similar to the EU legislation, the time frame of 'reception' is not clearly defined in the Turkish legislation. However, there is an implicit definition: reception starts as soon as the border of a given state has been crossed and an application for international protection has been made. It ends either with the "effective expulsion", "repatriation", "forced/assisted return" of unsuccessful applicants or with the acceptance of their request for protection which, in the terminology of RESPOND, makes them subject to 'integration'

This article depicts the global and European context in which populism has become a pivotal political and societal trend capitalizing on the problems of disenchanted groups of people who have generated various forms of discontent against the flows of globalization appearing in the form of deindustrialization, poverty, human mobility, migration, refugees, heterogeneity, diversity, interna-tional trade, tourism and supranational unity (e.g. EU). The main focus of the article will be on the depiction of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) with regard to the ways in which it employs the past as an ideological instrument to appeal to voters in the former provinces of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Hence, this article will render the ways in which the AfD exploits past, nativism, heritage, culture, Islamophobia, and xenophobia to mobilize the masses. In this regard, it draws a framework to address the public/popular discourses and domi-nant understandings of a homogeneous 'European heritage' and the ways in which they are mobi-lized by specific political actors to advance their agendas and to exclude groups such as minorities and Muslim-origin migrants and their descendants from a stronger inclusion into European socie-ty. The chapter will be based on the findings drawn from a comparative study consisting of in-depth interviews conducted with the supporters of right-wing populist parties in Dresden, Toulon, Rome, Athens, Rotterdam and Istanbul in the Spring of 2017, with an acronym CoHERE (Critical Heritages: performing and representing identities in Europe). Based on the speeches of the leading AfD figures as well as these interviews, the chapter will also discuss common tropes in these discourses such as anti-multiculturalism, Islamophobia, EU-skepticism, and different uses of the past and heritage.

The UK which had been one of the major members of the EU, currently has been holding the status of an 'ex-member' following almost a four years of a rocky withdrawal process that took place for the first time ever in the EU history. This unprecedented withdrawal is likely to come up with severe negative outcomes particularly for the UK side in comparison to remaining in the Union. This study seeks to demonstrate the likely legal, political and economic ramifications of the British withdrawal by particularly concentrating on the highly critical and debated issues bargained during the withdrawal negotiations as well as to draw a detailed comparison of the outcomes of an exit under the framework of a withdrawal agreement and a no-deal scenario. Yet, the paper concludes that the second round of negotiations for determining on the terms of a future relationship might not be as less difficult than the first round examined in this study.

Internal audit and internal control in particular Turkey and many European Union countries taking the place of a stronger administrative structure, administrative structures in other countries also tend to have entered into the establishment of this system. They have become concepts that are highly concentrated with the economic crises around the world. Internal audit and internal control, which are constantly developing in the international arena, today emerge as rising values. Internal audit and internal control activities, which were first applied in the private sector, started to find a place in public services in time. With the significant effect of the new public management approach, public internal audit and internal control practices have developed and become widespread. In 2003, some legislative arrangements were made within the framework of the European Union harmonization process and as a result of the requirements of the transformation in public administration. Among these regulations, the general scope of public internal audit and internal control was revealed by including the concepts of internal audit and internal control in the Public Financial Management and Control Law No. 5018, In this study, it is aimed to examine the internal audit and internal control practices of official rest homes, which are public service enterprises. Within the scope of the study, the concepts of internal audit and internal control will be examined first. Secondly, information on public internal audit and internal control will be given, and explanations regarding the internal audits of official rest homes will be presented.

Radicalism, extremism, terrorism, fundamentalism and violence have recently been interchangeably used by many in academia, media and politics. These terms used to be perceived and defined very differently prior to the 1990s when tremendous political, societal and demographic changes took place all around the world. Focusing on the radicalisation processes of both nativist and Islamist youngsters in Europe, this Working Paper scrutinises the differences between these terms by revisiting the ways they were used in the past. In doing so, the paper tries to reveal the neo-liberal logic of modern state actors in reducing radicalisation to terrorism and extremism. This paper derives from the ongoing EU-funded research for the "PRIME Youth" project conducted under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, Prof. Dr. Ayhan Kaya, and funded by the European Research Council with the Agreement Number 785934.

Globalization, which has far-reaching effects, transforms many phenomena with it. The phenomenon of urbanization, which has a direct relationship with globalization, becomes a structure increasing economic growth at a certain level together with industrialization where social, economic and political transitions and even inconsistencies are experienced. Cities transformed by the effects of globalization lead to the formation of new cities and, in association with this, new problems. Cities that have become centers of consumption have developed into a structure where the economic gap between the inhabitants, the polarization with socio-cultural differences, and the chaos with spatial and environmental changes are effective. Cities that are struggling with problems such as the exclusion of city-dwellers, changing the city silhouette in accordance with the demands of capital owners, and social inequality are now attracting the attention of many branches of science. Overpopulation, migration, sustainable development, and environmental problems, which are among today's problems, increase with the phenomenon of urbanization. The transformation of cities with globalization is the main focus of this study. The effects of this transformation on cities constitute the purpose of this study. This study which deals the current state of cities, by examining the relationship between globalization and urbanization, aims to contribute to the field of social sciences in this regard. ; Geniş kapsamlı etkilere sahip olan küreselleşme, birçok olguyu kendisiyle birlikte dönüştürmektedir.

This article focuses on how the relations between Ottoman and Iran, which are important states of Islamic history, are discussed in Iranian high school history textbooks. The shadow of collective belief and identity constructed through history education reverberates across the fields of international and foreign policy. Past relations affect two peoples not only politically but also socially and culturally, which mostly manifest themselves in the field of education. The way bilateral relations are addressed in textbooks directly affects the way two peoples perceive each other. The aim of this study is to determine the portrayal of the Ottoman Empire in Iranian high school history textbooks in terms of the relationship between history and identity. Document analysis was used to collect data from high school second- and third-grade history textbooks published between 2017 and 2018. A descriptive model was used. Qualitative research method was used for data collection, analysis and interpretation. Iranian history textbooks depict the Ottoman Empire as a neighboring state that sees itself as the protector of Islam and pursues anti-Shiite politics because it does not want a strong state in its east. They also portray the Ottoman Empire as an aggressive and opportunistic state that uses the internal weaknesses of the Iran State, which sees itself as the protector of Shiism.

The current study investigated parenting styles with respect to various demographics. The study sample was made up of 235 preschoolers aged 48-72 months attending to 2 state-funded preschools in İstanbul. Demographics Form and Parenting Attitude Scale were used for the data collection. The scale was completed by the parents. Independent sample t-test was used for the data with a normal distribution. The results showed that parenting styles did not differ by child gender, the number of siblings, maternal age, education and working status, and paternal age and working status. The results also indicated that parents tend to be more protective and permissive towards their first-born children and that the fathers younger than 35-years-old had a more democratic style compared to the fathers who were 36 and older. Longer preschool attendance was associated with less overprotective and less democratic parenting attitudes.

YÖK Tez No: 637804 ; Ombudsman ilk olarak 1700'lü yıllarda İsveç'te ortaya çıkmış ve başta İskandinav coğrafyası olmak üzere tüm dünyayı etkisi altına almıştır. İngiltere de dünyada ombudsmanın yayılmasında önemli role sahip bir devlettir. Bunun sebebi, ilk defa geniş yüz ölçümün sahip kalabalık bir devlette de uygulanabileceğini diğer devletlere göstermesidir. İngiltere'de ilk kurulan ombudsman "Parlamento Komiseri" adı ile 1967'de kurulan ombudsmandır. Bunun yanında da İngiltere'de ombudsmanlık kurumu birçok çeşitli alana yayılmıştır ki resmi ve özel sektör ombudsmanları olarak 2 kısma ayrılmıştır. Fakat bu yüksek lisans tezinde esasa alınan İngiltere parlamentosu tarafından kurulan ve birçok ülkeye etkinliği ve başarısı ile örnek olan Parlamento Ombudsmanı esas alınacaktır. Bunun yanında Ombudsman kavramından, İngiltere'nin siyasi yapısından, İngiltere'deki ombudsman kurumunun yapısı ve işleyişinden bahsedilmiştir. İngiltere'nin parlamento ombudsmanı üzerinde de nitel bir çalışma yapılarak İngiltere'nin Parlamento Ombudsman'ının 2009-2019 yılları arasındaki yıllık raporlar içerisinde "kelime sıklık analizi" yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu analiz sonucunda da tez çalışması sonuca bağlanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ombudsman, İngiltere, Parlamento Komiseri, Nitel Bir Analiz ; The Ombudsman first appeared in Sweden in the 1700s and influenced the whole world, especially the Scandinavian peninsula. The UK is a state with an important role in spreading the Ombudsman around the world. This is because for the first time it has shown to other states that broad facial measurement can also be applied in a state with a large population. The first ombudsman established in England is the ombudsman, which was founded in 1967 under the name of "Commissioner for Parliament". In addition, the Ombudsman institution in the UK is spread over many different areas and is divided into 2 parts as official and private sector ombudsmen. However, this master's thesis will be based on the Parliamentary Ombudsman established by the UK Parliament, which has been an example of its effectiveness and success to many countries. In addition, the concept of the Ombudsman, the political structure of the UK, the structure and functioning of the Ombudsman institution in the UK has been mentioned. A qualitative study was also conducted on the UK's parliamentary ombudsman and a "word frequency analysis" was conducted within the annual reports of the UK's Parliamentary Ombudsman between 2009 and 2019. As a result of this analysis, the thesis study has been concluded. Keywords: Ombudsman, The UK, Parliamentary Commissioner, A Qualitative Study
