    Contested Frames and the Media in Environmental Protests: Shifting the Geothermal Debate in the Turkish Aegean
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Dogu, Burak; Pasin, Begum
    The Turkish Aegean hosts extensive geothermal resources, a very fertile agricultural land where a variety of distinct agricultural products are grown. Although the geothermal resources in the region offer an important potential for energy production, their exploitation has triggered protests due to its damaging impact on agriculture. In this study we explore how the news media and movement actors frame geothermal energy development in the region and examine the dynamics of frame contests under a competitive authoritarian regime. We analyze the movement organizations' tactics and strategies in counter-framing, revealing the factors affecting frame diffusion. Our findings indicate that the framing efforts are shaped by several factors including the capacity of civic organizations and their networking efforts, the locals' political orientation, demographic variations, opposition background, visible damage in the vicinity, and the extent of grievances.

    The LGBTI+ Movement in Turkey a Qualitative Network Analysis of Actors’ Connections
    (Duke University Press, 2025) Pasin, Begum; Dogu, Burak
    Based on in-depth interviews and secondary data, this study investigates how the LGBTI+ movement in Turkey establishes and uses networks at the individual and organizational levels. At the individual level, the article reveals the networking practices of actors engaged in the LGBTI+ movement and examines the effects of networking on their identification with the movement, as well as their decision-shaping processes. At the organizational level, it explores networking practices with a particular focus on resource transfer. The study's findings indicate that these two levels are complementary, facilitating the expansion of the LGBTI+ movement in Turkey. Networks not only help LGBTI+ individuals socialize and identify themselves with the movement but also contribute to its mobilization by enabling the transfer of material and nonmaterial resources between organizations.

    Environmental Mobilizations Through Online Networks: An Analysis of Environmental Activism on Turkey's Twittersphere
    (USC Annenberg Press, 2022) Dogu, Burak; Ozen, Hayriye; Pasin, Begum
    This study explores and elucidates the nature and dynamics of environmental activism mediated via Twitter in Turkey. Drawing on the Twitter data, we show that two different forms of environmentalism are being pursued on this platform. There is, on the one hand, mainstream environmentalism of relatively established actors, and, on the other, confrontational/critical environmentalism of new actors. Unlike the former, the latter politicizes environmental issues to its full extent. While the actors pursuing mainstream environmentalism tend to act individually and use Twitter rather as a broadcast platform, the actors of confrontational/critical environmentalism form connections, interact, and engage in concerted action to voice environmental concerns, thereby incubating an environmental movement on Twitter within the increasingly authoritarian Turkish context. Our findings suggest that Twitter performs highly different functions within the same context depending on the discourses, identities, and interests of environmental actors.
