Article Shifting Financial Privileges From Dynasty To Parliament in the Emergence of Modern Turkiye(Istanbul University Press, 2023-09-27) Bahçeci, BarışThis study deals with the emergence of modern Turkey in the axis of the change in financial privileges. In this respect, the acts of the parliaments are analysed with a descriptive approach. While the parliament conducted the liquidation process of the Ottoman dynasty, it also created some new privileges for its members. This study examines this simultaneous process. The liquidation process started in 1908 with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy initiated by the Committee of Union and Progress (İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti). Only after 1920, a national assembly convened under a new leadership in Ankara continued the process and seized the assets of the dynasty, ended tax privileges, and cut their allowances in 1924. However, during the same period, parliament extended the financial status of its members with laws enacted even unconstitutionally. Despite that allowances of MPs were increased, and rules creating pension rights turned into a legislative behaviour that set an example for the following decades too. Moreover, parliament also established financial privileges by tolerating the economic activities of its members. Thus, financial privileges based on blood ties were replaced by another type of privileged status in parallel with the transfer of sovereignty. © The Author(s), 2023.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Crime and Media: the World of ‘reality Show’ as a Moral Frame of Reference(Milli Folklor Dergisi, 2017) Erol Isik, Nuran; Yaman, Burcu; Erol, Nuran IşıkCrime and transgression has become an important factor which is portrayed by the media outlets. The genre called crime reality show situated within the genre of reality show in the media in recent years has a special place in popular cultural world of meaning. Those who are accepted as protagonists, confessors, interrogators, victims and vigilantes are among the major actors in crime reality shows which function as constructing various different cultural and sociological frames of reference. The purpose of this article is to answer to the following questions: What does the crime reality show narrative tell us about contemporary Turkish culture? What are the implications of such a genre in terms of producing a televisual morality? What are the dynamics between socially irresponsible imagination and the idea of moral panic constructed via sensibility guided reasoning? In this paper, we argue that the crime reality show genre in Turkish television employs communicative strategies which are based on mediatization of morality as well as a new trend called prudentialism.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Norms as Negotiation Resource: the Empowerment of the European Parliament in the Lisbon Treaty(Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2012) Burgin, AlexanderDespite diverging preferences concerning the role of the European Parliament in the institutional architecture of the European Union, the EU member states have accepted a significant increase of its power in the Lisbon Treaty This paper argues that bargaining power alone cannot explain this result. Instead, it postulates the importance of normative pressure: arguments based on shared norms of democratic governance at the national level add legitimacy to the preferences of the supporters of a parliamentarization of the EU and mobilize social pressure on opponents of the empowerment of the ER The impact of norms as negotiation resource is demonstrated in an analysis of three controversies in the European Convention: the appointment and budget competences of the EP and the role of national parliaments.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 13Social Media in Political Communication and the Use of Twitter in the 2011 General Elections in Turkey(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2014-01-27) Bayraktutan, Gunseli; Binark, Mutlu; Comu, Tugrul; Dogu, Burak; Islamoglu, Gozde; Aydemir, Asli Telli; Binark, Ferruh MutluSocial media environments, which are basically new media applications, have many users both in Turkey and in the world.

This study focuses on the relationship between the candidates or members of political parties and the voters along with the social media using practices in the sample of Twitter as a social media environment, where the candidates and/or the members of political parties are users themselves, unlike the personal or institutional web sites where they have a broader ability to moderate.
