Received: February 5, 2018 Accepted: February 27, 2018 Online Published: March 6, 2018 doi:10.11114/jets.v6i4.2995 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/jets.v6i4.2995 Abstract This paper addresses the phenomenon of globalization, which has also spread to sports, in terms of its economic, social and cultural aspects; while discussing the concept based on examples from the discipline of football in the premier league of Turkey. In this framework, sports labor emigration mobility is handled, and sponsorship and the effects of globalization in Turkey’s sport is examined in terms of relationships between media and sports. The paper also provides concrete examples from the national and international sports circles by framing the fields where globalization becomes apparent in sports. In this framework, this article addresses the sport labor migration, and studies the effect of globalization in Turkish sports within the relations among sponsorship, media and sports. Keywords: globalization, sport labor migration, sponsorship in sports 1. Introduction 1.1 The Concept of Globalization Globalization is discussed as a new solution which was developed in order to reestablish capitalism after the 1980s and for capitalism to overcome the last crisis it had experienced (Özer, 2005). It is therefore not possible to treat globalization separately from capitalism and its historical development.

The uses and limits of Turkey’s “sport power” Jean-François Polo 1 For the first time in its fifteen years of brilliant yet unsuccessful candidacies to host the Olympic Games (OG) and the Football European Championships (Euro), Turkey was admitted into the elite group of countries capable of staging sports mega-events. Although it failed in the last round for the 2020 Olympic Games (beaten by Tokyo in 2013), and for the Euro 2016 (beaten by France in 2010), it has since been tipped as the strong favourite to host Euro 2024. International matches have been simultaneously utilized by the Turkish government as an opportunity to publicly demonstrate its willingness to resolve historically problematic issues with other countries, notably Armenia, Greece, and Syria.

Impact of the Turkish Labor Market on Physical Activities and Sports By Ersöz, Gözde1 and Meltem İnce-Yenilmez2* Abstract The sports industry is growing fast on a global scale and is inclusive of both the manufacturing and service sectors because of its versatility and diversified workforce. In Turkey the growth rate in college graduates with degrees aligned to the industry is significant. However, despite the representation of women in the industry as athletes and teachers, within sports management women remain significantly underrepresented. This discussion highlights the cultural norms that contribute to gender representation and forecasts the gender equity benefits that would accrue to greater female representation in the sports industry.

  • History of the Silent Revolution in Women's
    Sp Soc Int J Ph Ed Sp 2016 - Volume 16 – Issue 2 HISTORY OF THE SILENT REVOLUTION IN WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL IN TURKEY WHERE CONFUSION PREVAILS BETWEEN EASTERNIZATION AND WESTERNIZATION EREN ULUÖZ1 1School of Physical Education and Sports, Çukurova University, Adana/Turkey Abstract. Previous studies have discussed that religious beliefs, traditions and social barriers seriously constrain women’s participation in physical activity and sports. In Turkey, however, although there are no restrictions against the participation of women in either physical activities or sports in the legal sense, it has been reported in many scientific research-projects conducted that certain segments of the society have a negative attitude against sports. The aim of this study was to determine the history of the women’s volleyball in Turkey where confusion prevails between Easternization and Westernization. In this connection, the paper reports on how women’s volleyball has undergone a successful silent revolution and become internationally successful by overcoming religious and traditional barriers. In conclusion, the international successes of the Turkish Women’s Volleyball in spite of its short history, has not emerged as a result of a generally widespread and institutionalized volleyball culture in the country. Ever since volleyball has emerged in Turkey, it has attained permanent success with the extraordinary contributions of the Istanbul teams with large budgets, teams owned by state organizations, company teams and individuals like Selim Sırrı Tarcan, Sabbiha Rifat Erayman and members of the Eczacıbaşı family who were devoted supporters of sports, especially women’s volleyball. Keywords: Easternization; Westernization; Turkey; Volleyball; Women Introduction Sports have been used as a vehicle of self-expression by individuals at various levels almost in all societies ever since the advent of the Modern Olympics in 1896 [1].

To this end, the literature was surveyed and a 5 Likert type data collection tool consisting of 21 questions was developed by the researcher based on the expert views. The sample of the research included 460 sport fans who are college students at Abant İzzet Baysal University and Sakarya University. It was found in the research that 91.7% of the participants had a profile on Facebook and 13.3% had a profile on Twitter. The rate of opening an account on Twitter, which still has no version in Turkish language, was low. It was found that the fans mostly followed the official site of their favorite team on Facebook, got informed about the sports activities through Facebook and learned news, which they did not hear from other sources. It was also ascertained that male fans used social networks for sportive reasons more than female fans did (p<.05). It is possible to state that social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have become a rapidly-developing alternative medium in sports against traditional media such as newspaper and television. Key words: sports, media, social networks. Introduction characterized as mostly a one-way communication system.

  • National Wrestling of Tuva Turks: Huresh (Hüreş)
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE National Wrestling of Tuva Turks: Huresh (Hüreş) INGA MENDOT*, MEHMET TURKMEN** *PhD, Tuvan State University, Kyzyl – Tyva, Russia. **Prof. Dr., Mus Alparslan University & Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, Bishkek, Kyrgyzistan. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5926-7522 Correspondence to Inga Mendot, Email: Email: [email protected], ORCID ID:https://orcid.org/000-0002-5416-7573 ABSTRACT Aim: In this study, national traditional wrestling ‘Huresh / Hüreş’ of Tuvas, one of the ancient Siberian Turkic peoples, has been examined. Methods: Descriptive research and comparison method, one of the models included in the qualitative approach, was used in the study. Tuva national wrestling ‘huresh’ is an old, favourite kind of sport among tuvans. It is an inseparable part of any holidays, whether they are family, national or religion. Huresh competitions are usually held during the annual celebration of such holidays, as Naadym and Shagaa (New-Year). Results: Traditional wrestling, not only is Tuva a living symbol for the cultural characteristics of society, it is also a resource that produces identity for all Turkish people (at individual and collective level). In addition, in the research, a propositional legend was used to explain the importance of ‘Huresh’ and its rituals and the musical ceremonies in which they were consumed, to suggest a continuity between social signs, to create social meaning and national identity. Conclusion: The various cultural representations of Tuva Turks directly associated with wrestling are: national power myths, moral codes regarding the knightly ideals of competition and display; the importance of male power is that it expresses consensus notions in social coding.

  • AKP the Use of Sport As a Political Tool By
    The Use of Sport as a Political Tool by AKP How does the AKP use sport as a political tool to influence the society in Turkey ? Ömer Onur HERTEM MES4590 Master's thesis in Middle Eastern studies 30 credits Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2019 i Abstract George Orwell defines sport as ‘The war minus shooting’. Possible to say that, he exaggerated little bit, but definitely sport cannot be defined as a simple physical competition. Sport has two faces. What is visible on the field, is the first and more known face of the sport, the entertainment part, but there is another world behind the field. A world that has an enormous economic and political power. In today’s world, the final of UEFA Champions League or 100 metres race of Usain Bolt, which takes even less 10 seconds to watch, or NBA Finals bring millions of people in front of their televisions all around the world or to stadiums. This is only possible by sport and when there is a huge economic market and many people in the same sphere, the intervention of the politics into this field becomes inevitable. Already sport and politics were close to each other since the ancient times, but globalization and modernization brought this relationship to another level. This is also what happened in Turkey and by the time, politics and sports were intertwined. What is unique in the case of Turkey is the existence of a very dominant political authority, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi / AKP).
