    Turkey's Gender Gap in Higher Education: an Analysis of Ir Doctoral Students
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem; Akbaba, Y.; Saraçoğlu, Burcu
    This article assesses gender research patterns among Ph.D. students in International Relations (IR) discipline in Turkey with a particular focus on women. We examined 622 IR doctoral dissertations accepted by institutions of higher education in Turkey between 2009 and 2019. We found a statistically significant gender-based pairing among students and advisors, in addition to a higher number of male students and advisors, which suggests greater male visibility in graduate school and academia. Dissertation keyword analysis shows that similar topics are studied by both men and women, and reveals a noticeable absence of gender-sensitive issues, even among the work of female researchers. The striking omission of feminist IR reveals the importance of ‘minding the gap’ in contexts outside of the Western domain. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Participation in Social Protests: Comparing Turkey With Eu Patterns
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Kentmen-Cin, Cigdem
    Although Turkey is no stranger to protest events, there has been only limited research into why some people participate in protests, such as demonstrations and boycotts, while others do not. Using the 2008 European Values Study data, this paper investigates how socio-economic and demographic variables, political attitudes and orientations, social capital and religiosity explain variations in the likelihood of engaging in unconventional political activity in Turkey. Comparing results for Turkey with results for the European Union (EU), the present study finds that traditional explanations of participation in unconventional forms of political action in stable democracies do not seem to explain participation in Turkey. Education, institutional trust, democratic satisfaction and religious beliefs are the only factors that shape non-traditional participation in Turkey. Socio-economic and demographic characteristics, political attitudes and orientations, social capital and religious beliefs explain most of the variation in unconventional activism in the EU.

    Turkish Public Preferences for Energy
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Ediger, Volkan S.; Kirkil, Gokhan; Celebi, Emre; Ucal, Meltem; Kentmen-Cin, Cigdem
    Public concern over energy supplies, prices, sustainability and efficiency has emerged as a major issue around the world. Yet most of what we know regarding public opinion on energy comes from North America and Europe. This paper presents the results from the 2016 Turkish Public Preferences for Energy Survey, which included 1204 respondents and examined Turkish residents' household energy consumption, energy policy preferences, and environmental concerns. The main findings were that Turkish citizens consider natural gas and electricity highly expensive, view dependence on imported energy as Turkey's most pressing energy challenge, and recognize the problem of climate change. This lends public support for wind and solar power, but, at the same time, energy issues and the environment policies of political parties do not affect voting choices and political preferences.

    Populism and the Eu: How Did Ukip and Nigel Farage Determine Populist Party Position Around the Eu's Supranationalism? 2010-2016
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2019) Soysal, Önder Levent; Çin, Çiğdem
    Avrupa siyasetinde son dönemlerde en çok tartışılan konulardan biri yükselen populizm olmaktadır. Birleşik Krallığın, Avrupa Birliğinden (AB) ayrılmasında önemli bir rol oynayan UKIP, Avrupa'daki AB karşıtlığının ve yükselen populizmin en önemli temsilcilerinden bir kabul edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda tez AB'nin UKIP ve parti eski lideri Nigel Farage'nin söylemlerindeki rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Ayrıca UKIP'in ve Nigel Farage'ın populist söylemlerinin zaman içerisinde nasıl değiştiğini göstermek istemektedir. Populizm sahip olduğu çatışma, milliyetçilik ve çoğunluğun mutlak hakimiyetini gözeten değerleri nedeniyle, liberal demokrasilerin ve AB'in dayandığı çoğuculuk, eşitlik, temsili demokrasi ve güçler ayrılığı ilkelerine tehlike olusturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda tez populizmin detaylı bir incelemesini yaparak, populizmi Nigel Farage'nin söylemlerinde ve UKIP'in parti manifestolarında populizmin üç önemli bileşeni olan AB karşıtlığı, çoğunluk egemenliği ve milliyetçilik kavramlarını belirten seçilmiş 24 kelime ile incelenmiştir. Populist söylemlerdeki değişimi anlayabilmek için ise Lisbon Anlaşmasının onaylanma ve Brexit referandumu dönemleri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, tez Farage ve UKIP'in dönemsel politik etkilerle değişken bir politika izlese de AB karşıtlığının UKIP'in ana unsuru olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bağlamda, Brexit kararıyla ana parti politikasını ve liderini kaybeden partinin zayıfladığını belirlemiştir.

    Blaming the Government for Environmental Problems: a Multilevel and Cross-National Analysis of the Relationship Between Trust in Government and Local and Global Environmental Concerns
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2013) Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem
    Although the determinants of trust in governments have received significant attention in the literature on political trust, there has been no attention paid to whether environmental concerns affect governmental trust. Yet, if individuals are worried about local and global environmental degradation, they may think that the government has failed in providing them with the best living conditions. Hence, it is plausible to expect local and global environmental concerns and trust in government to be inversely correlated. Using 2005 data from 24 countries, this hypothesis is tested against competing theories of civic participation, interpersonal trust, and economic considerations to explain individual trust in government. Multilevel models that specify the impact of individual- and national-level factors provide evidence that global environmental concerns do actually matter.

    Bases of Support for the Eu's Common Foreign and Security Policy: Gender, Attitudes Toward Economic Integration, and Attachment To Europe
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2010) Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem
    The present study examines the determinants of individual support for the European Union's (EU) Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Using data from the 2005 Eurobarometer survey, I specified models that test whether gender, subjective economic evaluations of the European integration, and attachment to Europe affect how EU citizens view the CFSP and a possible rapid European military force. My findings show that there is no gender gap in EU foreign policy attitudes: women are not less pacific than men. Individuals base their evaluations of the EU on their experience of the economic integration and their feelings for Europe.

    How To Exploit Sustainable Food Consumption Habits of Individuals: Evidence From a Household Survey in Izmir, Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Savaş, Zehra Funda; Solak, Berfu; Önder, Burçin; Çınar, Gözde; Özcureci, Berker
    Sustainable production and consumption in the food supply chain are critical for the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs). Therefore, it is significant to identify the factors that shape individuals' food consumption behaviour. Turkiye prioritises sustainable food consumption and the prevention of food loss and waste as a national focus. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the drivers of individuals' food consumption habits in Turkiye through a survey with the participants being households in Izmir, the third most populous city in Turkiye. More specifically, the study has two main objectives: (i) to identify the factors influencing households' food consumption preferences and (ii) to demonstrate how the factors concerning sustainable food consumption interact through a survey conducted in Izmir. Based on the state-of-art literature, an online survey was completed by 515 respondents in Izmir. Through an analysis of the survey responses, this study provides a descriptive analysis of socio-demographic variables and a correlation analysis between socio-demographics and sustainable food consumption behaviours, including food shopping behaviour, food purchasing and consumption behaviour, dietary habits, and food waste behaviour. The results demonstrate that socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, education level, income level, and the number of residents in the household are significant for sustainable food consumption behaviour. The survey results also demonstrate that the respondents do not consider carbon footprint generation from food production and transportation in their decisions or behaviours. The study's main limitation is that the survey is implemented in a single city, Izmir. Future research may extend the scope to other cities in Turkiye, allowing a comparative analysis.

    Economic Development, Environmental Justice, and Pro-Environmental Behavior
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Carkoglu, Ali; Kentmen-Cin, Cigdem
    Are a country's environmental attitudes linked to its level of economic development? In recent decades, rapid industrialization and the use of cheaper but older production technologies have reduced environmental quality in less developed countries (LDCs). Moreover, these countries have been disproportionally affected by global pollution in that they suffer the effects while having emitted less than industrialized countries. To what extent are people in LDCs ready to make sacrifices to improve environmental conditions? International Social Survey Program 2010 data reveal that people in LDCs are less supportive of international agreements forcing their country to take necessary environmental measures than are citizens in the developed world. Moreover, they are more likely to think that wealthier countries should make more effort to protect the environment, and are less willing to make personal economic sacrifices or change their consumption behavior to accommodate environmental concerns. These results hold even after controlling for post-materialist values, political ideology, personal income, and several other demographic variables.

    Hate Speech on Social Media: A Systemic Narrative Review of Political Science Contributions
    (MDPI, 2025) Kentmen-Cin, Cigdem
    Cross-national public opinion surveys show that a significant majority of young people are frequently exposed to hateful content on social media, which suggest the need to better understand its political implications. This systematic narrative literature review addresses three key questions: (1) Which factors have been explored in political science as the main drivers of hate speech on social media? (2) What do empirical studies in political science suggest about the political consequences of online hate speech? (3) What strategies have been proposed within the political science literature to address and counteract these dynamics? Based on an analysis of 79 research articles published in the field of political science and international relations retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, this review found that online hate is linked to social media platform policies, national and international regulatory frameworks, perceived threats to in-group identity, far-right and populist rhetoric, politically significant events such as elections, the narratives of traditional media, the post-truth environment, and historical animosities. The literature shows that hate speech normalizes discriminatory behavior, silences opposing voices, and mobilizes organized hate. In response, political science research underscores the importance of online deterrence mechanisms, counter-speech, allyship, and digital literacy as strategies to combat hate during the social media era.
