  • Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis
    https://nyti.ms/2WeSq9a Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis? The battle over how to spend recovery funds — to quickly restore the old economy or invest in a greener one — will define the post-pandemic world. By Steven Erlanger Published May 9, 2020 Updated Dec. 11, 2020 BRUSSELS — With the global paralysis induced by the coronavirus, levels of pollution and carbon emission are dropping everywhere — leaving bluer skies, visible mountains, splendid wildflowers. Even Venice’s famously murky canals are running clear. After decades of industry and government slow-walking the climate issue, for some it is proof that effective action can be achieved. But nature’s revival has come at enormous cost, with Europe’s economy projected to decline 7.4 percent this year. So for many, like the suddenly unemployed, concerns about climate — which seemed urgent just a few months ago — can seem less so now. Those competing camps are now locked in debate over how and what to rebuild — between those who want to get the economy moving again, no matter how, and those who argue that the crisis is a chance to accelerate the transition to a cleaner economy. Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist and former aide to President Emmanuel Macron of France, described this as the struggle that “will define the post-pandemic world.” For green militants, the virus “only strengthens the urgent need for climate action,’’ he wrote recently. “But die-hard industrialists are equally convinced: There should be no higher priority than to repair a ravaged economy, postponing stricter environmental regulations if necessary.

  • URAP 2019-2020 DÜNYA ALAN SIRALAMASI BASIN BİLDİRİSİ 13 Mayıs 2020 URAP (University Ranking by Academic Performance)
    URAP 2019-2020 DÜNYA ALAN SIRALAMASI BASIN BİLDİRİSİ 13 Mayıs 2020 URAP (University Ranking by Academic Performance) Dünya üniversitelerini bilim alanlarına göre sıralayan 8 kurumdan biri olan URAP; kar amacı gütmeyen, Türkiye ve dünya üniversite sıralamalarını yapmayı toplumsal hizmet olarak gören bir kurumdur. URAP Laboratuvarı’nda çalışan ekip üyeleri; diğer görevlerinin yanı sıra, üniversite sıralama çalışmalarına gönüllü olarak katkı yapmaktadır. 2019 yılı Aralık ayında Çin’de başlayıp, devam eden süreçte, maalesef, dünyanın birçok ülkesini etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgınından üniversiteler de olumsuz yönde etkilenmiştir. URAP ekibi olarak; tüm ülkelerin bu olumsuz gelişmeleri en kısa sürede minimum zararla atlatmasını ve üniversitelerin de eğitim ve araştırma etkinliklerini sorunsuz olarak yürütmeye başlamasını diliyoruz. URAP, dünya bilim alanı sıralamasının alan sayısını 2018 yılında 61’e çıkarmıştır. Bilindiği gibi son yıllarda üniversite adaylarının başka ülkelerde eğitim almak için yaptıkları üniversite tercihlerinde, dünya alan sıralamalarına çok önem verdikleri belirlenmiştir. URAP ekibi, adaylara ve üniversitelere daha detaylı bilgi verebilmek için dünya sıralamasındaki alan sayısının artırılmasını gerekli görmüştür. Diğer neden ise, bazı üniversitelerin Sosyal Bilimler veya Sanat gibi belirli bir alana yoğunlaşmış olması nedeniyle dünya genel sıralamalarında çok gerilerde kalmalarıdır. Bu tür üniversiteler arasında yoğunlaştıkları alt alanlarda başarılı olanlar, URAP’ın bilim alanı sayısını 61’e çıkarması sonucunda yeni eklenen alt bilim alanlarında üst sıralarda yer alma şansına kavuştular. Dünya bilim alanı sıralamalarında; son 10 yıldır ABD, İngiltere, Avustralya, Hollanda, İsviçre, Belçika, Almanya ve Kanada gibi gelişmiş ülkelerin üniversiteleri bilim alanlarının tamamına yakınında üst sıralarda yer almaktadır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin üniversiteleri ise çok az sayıdaki bilim alanında yer almakta, bazı ülkelerin üniversiteleri ise 61 bilim alanı sıralamasının hiçbirine girememektedir.

  • Europe's Troubles Sebastian Rosato
    Europe’s Troubles Europe’s Troubles Sebastian Rosato Power Politics and the State of the European Project For a decade after the end of the Cold War, observers were profoundly optimistic about the state of the European Community (EC).1 Most endorsed Andrew Moravcsik’s claim that the establishment of the single market and currency marked the EC as “the most ambitious and most successful example of peaceful international co- operation in world history.” Both arrangements, which went into effect in the 1990s, were widely regarded as the “ªnishing touches on the construction of a European economic zone.”2 Indeed, many people thought that economic inte- gration would soon lead to political and military integration. Germany’s min- ister for Europe, Günter Verheugen, declared, “[N]ormally a single currency is the ªnal step in a process of political integration. This time the single currency isn’t the ªnal step but the beginning.”3 Meanwhile, U.S. defense planners feared that the Europeans might create “a separate ‘EU’ army.”4 In short, the common view was that the EC had been a great success and had a bright future. Today pessimism reigns. When it comes to the economic community, most analysts agree with former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer’s claim that it is “in a moment of a very severe crisis.” The conventional wisdom, notes the European Union’s ambassador to the United States, João Vale de Almeida, is that the EC “is dying, if not already dead.”5 At the same time, hardly anyone still predicts political or military integration.
