Cikarang, Indonesia, January 24th 2017 Muhammad Adnan Fatron ii ABSTRACT Title: The Analysis of The Driving Factors of Turkish Foreign Policy From Assertiveness to Pragmatism In Case of Turkey – Israel Reconciliation on The Mavi Marmara Flotilla Incident (2010-2016) Turkey and Israel had a good diplomatic relations and cooperated in any spheres for decades since 1949, but the incident of the attack towards Turkish flotilla, Mavi Marmara in 2010 by the Israeli Defense Forces, which was in a humanitarian mission to Gaza led to the death of some Turkish people, and the incident made relations between the two states deteriorated. Turkey downgraded its diplomatic status with Israel into minimum level and severed all forms of cooperation with Israel. They required some demands to Israel as a condition for returning a normal diplomatic relations, and if Israel did not fulfill all the demands, the relationship between the two countries will never be normal. But the change of behavior occurred in Turkey where they remained to reconcile the relationship with Israel, despite conditions that are enforceable to Israel has not been completed. The Factors influencing changes in Turkey's foreign policy in reconciling with Israel will be analyzed in this paper explicitly. Foreign policy case study will use one theory approach to foreign policy, namely, "Rational Choice Theory". Period of time taken for this study were taken from 2010 until 2016, precisely after Mavi Marmara attack in 2010 until the reconciliation took place in 2016.

Turki dan Israel memiliki sejarah hubungan diplomasi yang baik dan telah menjalani kerjasama dalam berbagai bidang selama puluhan tahun sejak 1949, tetapi kejadian penyerangan Kapal Turki, Mavi Marmara pada tahun 2010 oleh tentara Israel yang saat itu sedang dalam misi kemanusiaan ke Gaza menyebabkan matinya beberapa rakyat Turki, dan kejadian ini membuat hubungan kedua negara memburuk. Turki memutuskan semua bentuk kerjasama dengan Israel dan memberikan beberapa tuntutan kepada Israel sebagai syarat kembali normalnya hubungan diplomasi antar keduanya, dan apabila Israel tak memenuhi semua tuntutan maka hubungan antar kedua negara tidak akan pernah kembali normal. Namun perubahan sikap terjadi pada Turki dimana ia tetap melakukan rekonsiliasi dengan Israel walaupun syarat yang dituntutkan kepada Israel tidak dipenuhi seluruhnya. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perubahan kebijakan luar negeri Turki dalam melakukan rekonsiliasi dengan Israel akan dianalisa dalam skripsi ini secara eksplisit. Penelitian kasus kebijakan luar negeri akan menggunakan salah satu teori pendekatan kebijakan luar negeri yaitu,”Rational Choice Theory”. Jangka waktu yang diambil untuk penelitian ini diambil dari tahun 2010 sampai 2016, lebih tepatnya setelah kasus penyerangan Kapal Mavi Marmara di tahun 2010 sampai terjadinya rekonsiliasi di tahun 2016. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yang deskriptif dan analitis yang menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui hubungan bilateral Turki dan Israel.

  • Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-Border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Revisiting Transnational Media Flow in Nusantara: Cross-border Content Broadcasting in Indonesia and Malaysia Nuurrianti Jalli* and Yearry Panji Setianto** Previous studies on transnational media have emphasized transnational media organizations and tended to ignore the role of cross-border content, especially in a non-Western context. This study aims to fill theoretical gaps within this scholarship by providing an analysis of the Southeast Asian media sphere, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia in a historical context—transnational media flow before 2010. The two neighboring nations of Indonesia and Malaysia have many things in common, from culture to language and religion. This study not only explores similarities in the reception and appropriation of transnational content in both countries but also investigates why, to some extent, each had a different attitude toward content pro- duced by the other. It also looks at how governments in these two nations control the flow of transnational media content. Focusing on broadcast media, the study finds that cross-border media flow between Indonesia and Malaysia was made pos- sible primarily in two ways: (1) illicit or unintended media exchange, and (2) legal and intended media exchange. Illicit media exchange was enabled through the use of satellite dishes and antennae near state borders, as well as piracy. Legal and intended media exchange was enabled through state collaboration and the purchase of media rights; both governments also utilized several bodies of laws to assist in controlling transnational media content. Based on our analysis, there is a path of transnational media exchange between these two countries.

  • Efficiency and Rentability of Introducing DVB-T2 HEVC System in Germany and Croatia
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on BUSINESS and ECONOMICS DOI: 10.37394/23207.2020.17.92 Fran Galetic Technological Progress in Terrestrial Television Transmitting – Efficiency and Rentability of Introducing DVB-T2 HEVC System in Germany and Croatia FRAN GALETIC Faculty of Economics and Business University of Zagreb Trg J.F. Kennedyja 6, 10000 Zagreb CROATIA Abstract: - Germany and Croatia are among first European countries that have adopted the strategy of switching from DVB-T h.264 system to DVB-T2 h.265 (HEVC) system of broadcasting for terrestrial television. The newer h.265 system has better performance compared to previously h.264 especially in terms of efficiency of transmitting. On a single frequency, h.265 enables much more data flow, which means more channels and/or better quality of transmitting. This paper investigates the efficiency and rentability of such transition and compares Germany as s big and Croatia as a small European country. The aim of the analysis is to show the background for such a technological change in these two countries and to compare it having in mind the difference of capacities necessary for terrestrial transmission. This switch to the DVB-T2 HEVC system represents the classical example of technological progress in practice, and is especially interesting in the period when other countries are setting up strategies for the future of terrestrial television transmission. Key-Words: - Terrestrial television; DVB-T; DVB-T2; HEVC; Germany; Croatia Received: August 5, 2019. Revised: September 14, 2020.

  • Prime Time Commemoration: an Analysis of Television Broadcasts on Israel’S Memorial Day for the Holocaust and the Heroism
    Journal of Communication ISSN 0021-9916 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Prime Time Commemoration: An Analysis of Television Broadcasts on Israel’s Memorial Day for the Holocaust and the Heroism Oren Meyers1, Eyal Zandberg2, & Motti Neiger2 1 Department of Communication, University of Haifa, Haifa 31905, Israel 2 School of Communication, Netanya Academic College, Netanya 42365, Israel This study explores the ways in which commercial media perceive and manifest their public mnemonic role. It does so via an exploration of the ‘‘memory menu’’—the contents and flow of programming—offered by Channel 2, Israel’s leading commercial television channel, on the eve of the country’s Memorial Day for the Holocaust and the Heroism (MDHH), in which the airing of commercials is banned. In order to do so, the study incorporates a multilevel analysis that probes the structure of entire broadcasting evenings as well as the narrative building blocks that constitute each item. The study investigates the ways in which commercial media outlets operate in the context of ‘‘commercial vacuums’’ as they substitute material capital with symbolic capital. This process is illuminated through Channel 2’s inability to work MDHH into its extremely successful routine broadcasting formulas. The channel’s MDHH broadcasts construct a commemorative narrative that is insulated from day-to-day Israeli public Holocaust memory discourse; hence they operate as a significant site of Israeli postmemory work. Furthermore, such a narrative not only commemorates the memory of the Holocaust itself but also the ways in which Israeli culture used to narrate the memory of the Holocaust in the past. doi:10.1111/j.1460-2466.2009.01424.x The mass media constitute the most prevalent site of collective recollection in modern national societies (Huyssen, 2000).

  • Branded Reality the Rise of Embedded Branding ('Branded Content'): Implications for the Cultural Public Sphere
    GOLDSMITHS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Branded Reality The Rise of Embedded Branding (‘Branded Content’): Implications for the Cultural Public Sphere Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Media and Communications By Anat Balint P a g e | 1 Acknowledgments This thesis has been an intellectual challenge, and much more than that: it was a personal journey and a phase of transformation. This was a shift from the world of investigative journalism to that of scholarly work, from writing 1000 words in one afternoon to creating a narrative of tens of thousands of words over many many months, from the hectic life of a daily reporter to the silent, somewhat isolating routine of a writer with a laptop. Moreover, it was a process of finding a voice and making my arguments heard. Hopefully, these efforts were somewhat successful, as during the work on the thesis, a time that was also devoted to various public activities as well as teaching and writing, the topic of embedded branding became, in my local arena at least, the subject of investigative reporting by other journalists, heated public debate, policy reports and a legislation proposal. I am most thankful to all those who were with me on this journey. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors, Prof. Nick Couldry and Dr. Liz Moor. Prof. Couldry guided me through the early stages of the research, in its London phase, and was most helpful in setting its theoretical and methodological infrastructure. His immense knowledge, critical point of view and passion for the field are an inspiration to any young scholar.

  • A Mapping Analysis of Israeli Community Broadcasting Groups
    Community media, their communities and conflict: A mapping analysis of Israeli community broadcasting groups Hillel Nossek* Kinneret Academic College, Israel Nico Carpentier* Charles University, Czech Republic Abstract Community media organisations are famously difficult to define, as this media field is highly elusive and diverse, even if there is a certain degree of consensus about a series of basic characteristics. One key defining component is the objective to serve its community by allowing its members to participate in self-representational processes. Yet this component raises questions about what ‘community’ means, and how the community that is being served relates to other parts of society. This article studies a particular social reality – Israel – where community television is the dominant model, community television production groups are separated from the actual distribution of the produced content and different configurations of ‘us’ and ‘them’ characterise political reality. Following the methodological procedures outlined in Voniati et al. (2018), a mapping of 83 Israeli community broadcasting groups was organised, allowing us to flesh out the different ways in which these community broadcasting groups deal with their community/ies and the ‘other’. The analysis shows that many of these Israeli community broadcasting groups have fairly closed, singular-community articulations of ‘their’ communities. They rarely engage in interactions with other communities (limiting internal diversity) and their external diversity is even more restricted, with only one Arab–Israeli community broadcasting group able to be identified. The analysis did, however, identify a dozen groups with more open approaches towards their outer worlds, and thus the potential to assume a more conflict-transformatory role.

  • Introduction 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration And/ As
    Notes Introduction 1. All translations were made by the authors. 2. We do not expand on the discussion of the origins of the word and its rela- tionship with other words, although others have written about it extensively. For example, Tal (1979) wrote an etymological analysis of the word in order to clarify its meaning in relation to the concept of genocide; Ofer (1996b) focused on the process by which the term ‘Shoah’ was adopted in British Mandate Palestine and Israel between 1942 and 1953, and explored its mean- ing in relation to concepts such as ‘heroism’ and ‘resurrection’; and Schiffrin’s works (2001a and 2001b) compare the use of Holocaust-related terms in the cases of the annihilation of European Jewry and the imprisonment of American Japanese in internment camps during the Second World War. See also Alexander (2001), who investigated the growing widespread use of the term ‘Shoah’ among non-Hebrew-speakers. 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration and/ as Nation-Building 1. Parts of this chapter have appeared in Zandberg (2010). 2. The Kaddish is a prayer that is part of the daily prayers but it is especially identified with commemorative rituals and said by mourners after the death of close relatives. 3. The Mishnah is the collection (63 tractates) of the codification of the Jewish Oral Law, the Halacha. 4. Knesset Proceedings, First Knesset, Third Sitting, 12 April 1952, Vol. 9, p. 1656. 5.
