Furthermore, the international system witnessed the danger of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine. Hiroshima and Nagasaki lived negative affect of the nuclear bombs because of WWII, Ukraine lived Chernobyl atomic power plant accident, after facing these examples, many governments increased their uranium capacity enrichment for nuclear power; in this situation threat for other non-nuclear power countries. Many governments do not want nuclear disarmament in the international system, due to this issue; global peace still can face a nuclear war. Kazakhstan is an example country of nuclear disarmament; in addition, Kazakhstan learned how to integrate uranium in their economic system while following nuclear disarmament path. By this way, Kazakhstan is bringing the uranium bank on the agenda of international relations, and it is an important issue because international community will discuss nuclear non-armament and uranium bank for global peace. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article THE EFFECTS OF CHARACTERISTICS OF GENERATION Z ON 21ST CENTURY BUSINESS STRATEGIES(2019) Hakan Çora; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsThe Z generation,composed of individuals born in 1990’s who are fastlearners intertwined with technology, draws ourattention to their aptitude to adjust to the newknowledge and pace of time.

However, by the beginning of the new millennium, this country on the did not believe in its undisputed global leadership position in the unipolar world and changed its policies in line with global domination under the new conservatives' influence. After 2001, the events allowed the neoconservatives to apply the philosophies theoretically formed and developed since 1930 in practice. The policies, including energy, environment and other strategic issues, of the government administration, which was determined with neoconservative motives, faced a great reaction and the domestic support began to decline. The neoconservatives faced that their policies that were inconsistent with the facts and resulted in a great disappointment in the U.S. public opinion. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2021.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 0Energy Policy of Turkey, a Specialized View on Turkish Foreign Politics(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Çora,H.; Mikail,E.H.; Çakmakci,Ü.; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsThe energy is the essential input of the economic and social developments of the countries. The energy and state legislators must provide this most basic necessities of the community in an uninterrupted, reliable, timely, cheap and clean manner. This necessity is much the same for the industrialists and tradesmen as well as the consumers in their home. In the globalizing world, an indispensable prerequisite is to supply the energy for the country’s industry from uninterrupted, reliable sources and low-priced as the most basic and weighted input into the cost of the final product. However, the realities experienced in the energy field of our country, far from being in harmony with these basic requirements, are in stark contrast. The energy policy of Turkey aims at diversifying the source country and route, starting to use nuclear energy while increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, research on increasing energy efficiency and contributing the energy security of Europe. Our country, which is located in a region with approximately seventy percent of proven oil and natural gas reserves, is one of the largest natural gas and electricity markets in its region. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 0Environmental effects and initiatives of nuclear power via international initiatives in 1980s as a bipolar international policy(EDP Sciences, 2021) Hakan,Ç.; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsIn 1980 American Nuclear Society scholars Walter Jordan and Samuel Glasstone delivered a coherent and methodological presentation of the consequences of nuclear power on the environment. Focusing on a multitude of matters extending from nuclear power and reactor safety to the discarding of waste heat and the biological outcomes of radiation, enclosed many of the concerns involving to nuclear environmental effect. Furthermore, America's diverse legacy has allowed competing claimants to propose conflicting opinions of its position in the conclusion of the Cold War and the reduction of nuclear conflicts in the 1990s. Particular specifics, nevertheless, are beyond argument.

Tüketiciler, özellikle gençler, saygın markaların veya ünlü kişilerintasarladığı birinci sınıf yabancı ürünleri satın alarak moda trendini takip etme eğilimindedir. Birçok bilim insanı, marka denkliğininkadın tüketicilerin satın alma niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini tartışmış olsa daTürk tüketicilerle ilgili çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Ayrıca tüketicilerin markalarla ilgili algıları sadece şirketten, üründen veya maruz kaldıkları iletişimden kaynaklanmaz. Mağaza imajı ve mağaza çalışanlarının verdiği hizmet de markanın vaatlerini ve değerlerini yansıtır. Ek olarak, fiyat, müşteri değerlendirmeleri için önemli bir faktördür. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, kozmetik sektöründe kadın tüketicilerin satın alma niyetleri üzerine marka bilinirliği, marka sadakati, algılanan kalite, mağaza imajı, hizmet kalitesi ve fiyatınetkilerini değerlendirmektir. Geliştirilen hipotezleri test etmek için veriler çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Hedef kitleye yani Türk kadın tüketicilereulaşmak için kolaydaörnekleme yöntemi seçilmiştir(n=303). Araştırma hipotezleri, Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (PLS-SEM) kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda marka bilinirliği, mağaza imajı, hizmet kalitesi ve fiyatınsatın alma niyetine doğrudan etkisi olduğu, ancak marka sadakati ve algılanan kalitenin anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Fiyatdeğişkeninin olası moderatör etkisi göz önüne alınarak aynı yöntemle ikinci bir model geliştirilmiş ve test edilmiş ancak geliştirilen hipotezlerin hiçbiri desteklenmemiştir.Master Thesis İç pazarlama içgörüleri: disiplinlerarası işlevleri ve işveren markası çekiciliğinin bilgi teknolojisi sektöründe çalışan katılımı üzerindeki etkisi(2022) Takalı, Sonıa; Çora, Hakan; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International Relationsİçsel Pazarlama çerçevesinde, işveren markası çekiciliği yoluyla taktiksel ve strate jik çalışan bağlılığı çabalarına yönelik çeşitli yaklaşımlar ve modeller geliştirilmiştir. Bu daha sonra, daha geniş arka planına ve kavramına dalarak daha fazla incelenmiştir. Bu da İnsan Kaynakları sistemleri ile Pazarlama stratejilerinin birleşimidir. Sosyal bil imler sektöründe belirli bir varsayımı kanıtlamak için inşa edilen çoğu örgütsel teori ve ampirik çalışma, örnekler tamamen gerçekçi ve insani bir çerçeveden alındığı için mükemmel veya eksiksiz sonuçlar sergilememektedir. Bununla birlikte; etkili bir strate jik iç pazarlama fonksiyonu, yani çekici bir marka imajı yoluyla çalışanların ilgisini çekmeye odaklanan bir fonksiyon geliştirmek için gerekli süreçlere ilişkin farklı yön lerin belirlenmesine hizmet edebilirler. Çekici bir işveren markasını oluşturan standartlar veya unsurlar ile çalışan bağlılığı unsurlarını oluşturan unsurlar birçok ampirik çalış maya konu olmuştur. Aslında, çalışan bağlılığını etkileyen en ilgili ve en etkili işveren markası değerlerini çıkarmak veya çıkarmak için çeşitli cazip çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma, işveren markasının her bir değerinin çalışan bağlılığının her bir boyutu üzerindeki etkisinin ayrıntılı bir tanımını ve Bilgi Teknolojileri sek törü bağlamında her bir boyutu en çok hangi değerin etkilediğini belirlemektedir. Bu araştırmanın teorik temelleri iki ana bölüme ayrılmıştır; ilki geniş İçsel Pazarlama kavramı ve İçsel Pazarlama'da kesişen İnsan Kaynakları ve Pazarlama kavramlarının iç içe geçmesi etrafında dolaşmaktadır. ikinci bölüm ise esas olarak araştırma prob lemini, yani İçsel Pazarlama'nın daha dar ve daha spesifik yönünü, İşveren Markası Çekiciliğinin Çalışan Bağlılığı üzerindeki etkisini kapsamaktadır. Ampirik bölüm, Bilgi Teknolojileri sektörü bağlamında bir çalışma ile önceki literatürü destekleye cektir. Son olarak, teori ve ampirik süreçleri kanıtlamak için sonuca varılacaktır.

The works conducted were about the content rather than the form. He desired the Turkish nation to take its rightful place among the world's nations. While building the foundations of the newly established state, on the one hand, he was making great efforts to improve the country's prestige and position abroad. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Western world treated the entire Eastern world, naturally to Turks, as second-class people and expressed this attitude on any occasion. Mustafa Kemal, who knew this case very well, decided to conduct comprehensive historical studies to achieve the following objectives: To refuse the accusations that were attributed to the Turks, which sometimes reached the level of insult; to introduce the true identity of the Turkish nation to the world; to get rid of the understanding of chronological history and to switch to the conception of social history in the country. At the end of the studies, a "Turkish History Thesis" was put forward. It was revealed that Turkish history was not limited to Islamic or Ottoman history. There was a pre-Islamic Turkish history with numerous achievements as many as post-Islamic history. Stating that history was not just the chronology, Ataturk gave the task of revealing the human aspect of history to Turkish historians in line with a study plan aiming to reveal the culture and civilization of Turkish history. © 2021, Assiut University, Faculty of Engineering.

This study combines concepts from analysis in political data and from organizationalbehavior better to understand variation in the organization-government interface in the example of Iran andits foreign policy making process. We argue that variances in organization-government relations acrosscountries can be better understood by examining the institutions through which culture and governmentinteract with certain attention to formal restraints such as rules that individuals develop and informalrestraints—such as norms and culture of behavior. We also present that characteristics of the institutionsinvolved in the interaction of organization and government can be better comprehended by observing howindividuals are appealed to, selected by, and choose to stay as members of institutions. In the study, thefactors affecting Iran's Foreign Policy were tried to be explained. Organizational behaviour is the academicstudy of the paths people act within groups. Its principles are implemented primarily in attempts to makebusinesses as well as states operate more effectively. Therefore, the Historical Process, GeopoliticalSituation, Political Culture, Social Values, Ethnic Structure, Social Structure, and Petroleum Revenues,Public Opinion, Shiite Islamic Understanding were assumed to be independent variables in the analysisprocess of Iran's Foreign Policy and organization. These independent variables were tried to be analysed inthe study by determining the Decision-Making Process and Dependent Variables in foreign policy analysis.While the study mentions that leadership is an important factor in Iran, the influence of religion on theleaders in power tried to be explained. The study states that religion and leadership are influential factors,especially in Iran's foreign policy.Master Thesis Liderliğin örgüt kültürü üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel bağlılığın rolü üzerine bir araştırma(2023) Demirci, Burhanettin; Çora, Hakan; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsBu çalışmada Türkiye İstanbul ilinde çalışanların, çalıştıkları kurumdaki liderliğin örgüt kültürü üzerindeki etkisinde örgütsel bağlılığın rolünün tespiti ve bu yapılar arasındaki ilişkinin modellenmesi hedeflenmiştir.

Artan rekabet ile birlikte tüm sektörlerde kaliteli ve nitelikli ürün/hizmet üretmek giderek daha daönemli bir hal almaya başlamış, rekabet üstünlüğü sağlayabilmek için müşteri istek ve beklentilerininkarşılanması ve giderilmemiş müşteri ihtiyaçlarının keşfi ön plana çıkmıştır. Sağlık hizmetlerinin kamukuruluşları ile birlikte özel sektörde de yoğun bir şekilde verilmeye başlanmasıyla birlikte sağlıkta kalitelihizmet anlayışı ve müşteri (hasta) memnuniyeti kavramları önem kazanmıştır. Hizmet kalitesini yükseltmekisteyen kuruluşlar, öncelikle sahip oldukları insan faktörü üzerine odaklanmalıdır. Sağlık sektörünün de dahilolduğu hizmet sektöründe sunulan hizmetten elde edilen memnuniyet ve algılanan hizmet kalitesi, bu hizmetisunanların yaptıkları işten memnuniyet duymalarına ve motive olmalarına bağlıdır. Hata toleransının çok düşükolduğu sağlık sektöründe, çalışanlara hastalık bulaşma riski ve işle ilgili yoğun stres çalışma koşullarınıoldukça ağırlaşmaktadır. Uygulama kapsamında İstanbul’da bulunan özel sağlık kuruluşlarında görevli 181sağlık personelinden anket yöntemiyle veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi IBM SPSS 16.0 programıvasıtasıyla yapılmış olup sonuç olarak örgüt iklimi boyutlarının hizmet kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerininbirbirinden farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Örgüt iklimi boyutlarından çalışanların uyumu ve birlikteliğiile örgütsel etiğin, hizmet kalitesi boyutları üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkilere sahip olduğugörülmüştür. Buna karşın; örgüt ikliminin yönetsel destek, yönetimin yeteneği ve tutarlılığı ile iş yüküboyutlarının hizmet kalitesi üzerinde etkisi saptanmamıştır.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 0Protecting the environment as an international process: Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC)(EDP Sciences, 2021) Hakan,Ç.; Elnur Hasan,M.; Sevda,G.; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsAt In this paper, it was attempted to examine and analyze the environmental and sociological impact of Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC) that was established in June 1992 in Istanbul.

Culture is all kinds of material and symbolic productions of a society and the relationships, styles, patterns and practices within these production areas. Culture is above all a way of life and includes practices in everyday life and traditions and habits that make a group of people different from others. As mankind discovered the cultivation of the land, it began to move from nomadic order to settled life. However, throughout history, the movement of people between different districts, regions and countries has continued and continues with different factors. The phenomenon of migration plays an important role in the struggle to lead a better life for people. Migration events caused by economic, social or political reasons occur in a mandatory or voluntary manner, within the country's borders or between different countries. Today, the importance of migration has increased in the globalized world order. The development of transportation and communication technologies allows the circulation of people, institutions, goods, services and capital in a way that exceeds the borders of countries. This situation causes migration not only from underdeveloped countries to developed countries, but also from developed countries to other countries. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Review Citation - WoS: 0A REVIEW OF TURKISH UNION WITH A GLOBAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE(Gaziosmanpasa Univ, 2019) Cora, Hakan; Mikail, Elnur Hasan; Cora, Ali Nazmi; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsIn our world when 300 million Turks live, the necessity of establishing a Turkish Union (TU) like the European Union and collecting the economic and military forces of the Turkish States under a unity has become inevitable. The Turkish Union is necessary and can be established. On the other hand, globalization is one of the most important processes that has formed the world since the 1970s. For this reason, analyzing globalization is crucial to comprehend our world and its effect on the Turkish Union. Globalization is a sophisticated concept, which has economic, social, political, cultural, environmental, and technological dimensions.

In this competitive environment, the current position of Turkey in the health tourism sector has both weak and strong sides. Inthis respect, the reasons for the countries competing in the developing health tourism market to increase their investments in this field need to be reviewed. Health tourism is to travel from one's usual place of residence to somewhere else to receive therapeutic, preventive, health-promoting or rehabilitation-oriented health services. It is seen that some countries stand out in terms of having places to visit in relation to this type of tourism. Among the countries that stand out in the healthtourism sector are: India, Singapore, USA, South Korea, Turkey, Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, Hungary, Greece, France, Spain, Italy, Poland and United Arab Emirates.Health tourism has many positive effects onthe economies of countries and regions. The income obtained from the tourists visiting the country to benefit from this type of tourism, this income advancing the economies of the country and the region, offering different social and cultural exchanges between countries and the exchange of skills, information and technology are some of these. The focus of this review is to cultivate the current situation of health tourism, which is rapidly developing all over the earth, in Turkey, to determine the necessary aspects and needs and to present tourism recommendations.In this framework, the objective of the analysis is to determine Turkey's current situation in health tourism based on data, evaluate the developments, and propose suggestions for the future studies and researches as a compilation. A portrait of Turkey’s medical tourism sector has been presented using the data by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health. Furthermore, in light of the developments across the world and in Turkey, suggestionshave been proposed regarding what steps Turkey should take in the future about health tourism.Article Citation - WoS: 0A STUDY ON 21st CENTURY ENERGY POLICIES OF THE LAST THREE US LEADERS BASED ON INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS(Gaziosmanpasa Univ, 2020) Cora, Hakan; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsUS energy-oriented policies in international relations since 2001 started before 2001 and followed the national interests of the US and thereby paving the way for several tensions within half a century, especially in the Middle East, where the energy resources are abundant. However, while policies aimed at reconciling the USA's interests with the global interests, namely the general interests of humanity, and aiming to lead the world states in the fight against climate change, especially during the Obama period, the hopes were somewhat shelved with Trump's taking office; in this perspective, it is beneficial to make a comparative analysis of the policies implemented in the period of Bush, Obama, and Trump in terms of supplying, exporting, and obtaining of energy resources.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Sustainable environmental and economic relations of Turkiye and republic of South Africa-A focus study for the period 2000-2010(EDP Sciences, 2023) Hakan,Ç.; Hasan,M.E.; Nazmi,Ç.A.; Uluslararası İlişkiler / International RelationsAs one of the primary issues facing Turkiye, environmental degradation is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Therefore, a policy-level reorientation may be required to address this situation. Based on this perspective, during the increase of mutual economic developments between Turkiye and South Africa, the impact of renewable energy (RE) use, financial develoment, urbanization, and agriculture emissions of carbon dioxide should be analyzed separately using a dataset spanning a considerable period of time. South Africa develops its national environmental policy through a consultation process known as the National Consultative Environmental Policy Process (CONNEPP). The process is designed to provide an opportunity for all stakeholders in South Africa to contribute to the development of a new environmental policy. With the end of the apartheid period in 1994, the Republic of South Africa initiated a comprehensive program of economic reform and development going forward and made significant progress in many sectors after 2000. At this time, Turkiye, as situated on a strategic location regarding global trade, was expanding its operations worldwide. The purpose of the research is to analyze the Turkish RSA relations focusing on the first decade of 21st century. As a basis of our methodology, we have researched achieves and business records as tangible verifiable information about this time period. Although the global financial crisis of 2008 affected this country for some time; the development line and ongoing momentum in the automotive industry sector, as well as sectors such as construction, banking, investment regulations, energy, telecommunications, mining and agriculture, are worth mentioning. For this specific research article, we believe that it is imperative to focus the 2000-2010 period which is the basis of today's cooperation which will bring a specific value to the academia. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.
