  • Erkki Tuomioja, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland
    Erkki Tuomioja, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY At the European University Viadrina, Frankfurt an der Oder EMBARGOED UNTIL 11 January 2005 11.1.2005 12.00 From Europe to Real-Europa The recent events in Ukraine remind us of the fact that the transformation of Europe, which started in 1989, is still continuing. German reunification, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the re-established independence of the Baltic States and the liberation of Eastern Europe set in motion a process that has not yet come to an end. This chain of events released energy, which had previously been held back by the command economy, and gave impetus to a comprehensive modernization process of societies. The gap in living standards between East and West began to shrink. A major milestone was the enlargement of the European Union by ten new Member States in May 2004. To quote Willy Brandt: "What belongs together, grows together". Ukraine’s Orange Revolution has finally proved that freedom without democracy does not work. On the other hand, democracy does not function without the safeguards guaranteed by the rule of law and the democratic control exercised by civil society, a political opposition and the media – in other words a system of checks and balances. The bloodless dissolution of the Soviet Union and the ideological system it represented was a historic event, the uniqueness of which is accentuated by the violent collapse of Yugoslavia. Freedom is a mighty power. German re-unification became possible only after the birth of true freedom brought about by the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

  • 1950-1960 Arası Türkiye'de Uygulanan Sosyo-Ekonomik Politikalar

Gör. Osman Cenk KANCA Kafkas Üniversitesi İİBF, İktisat Bölümü, [email protected] Özet Demokrat Parti 1950 yılında 27 yıllık tek parti iktidarına seçimle son vermiştir. DP iktidarı döneminde siyaset, halkın tabanına yayılmış böylelikle Türk siyasal hayatına pozitif katkıda bulunurken baskıcı devletçi anlayıştan milli, liberal bir sosyo-ekonomik yapının doğmasını sağlamıştır. Tarım reformu, dış ticaretin serbestleştirilmesi, yatırım harcamalarının yükselişi, sanayileşmede özel sektöre öncülük verme, işçilere yönelik sosyal politika yasalarının çıkarılması dönemin en belirgin özellikleri arasında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de katı politik yapı son bulmuş ve ülke tarihinin en önemli değişimine tanık olmuştur. Çalışmada DP dönemindeki sosyo-ekonomik politikalar incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme gerçekleştirilirken bazı makro ekonomik göstergelerden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bir durum tespit araştırması olmasından hareketle anılan dönemin ilk yarısında gerek sosyal gerekse ekonomik gidişatın iyi olduğu izlenmiştir. Ancak dönemin ikinci yarısı itibariyle üstteki gelişmelerin tam anlamıyla sağlanabildiğini söylemek güçtür.

  • Turkey's Islamists: from Power-Sharing to Political
    TURKEY’S ISLAMISTS: FROM POWER-SHARING TO POLITICAL INCUMBENCY The complex relationship between political Islam and the Turkish state – from political exclusion in the early Republican era, to power-sharing in the post-World War II multi-party era, to political incumbency in the 2000s – was crowned by AKP’s landslide electoral victory in 2002. The author debunks two myths regarding this relationship: first, that Kemalism enjoyed a monopoly of political power for decades and second, that Islamists achieved victory in 2002 after being the regime’s sole opposition. According to the author, Turkey’s failed Middle East policy can be attributed to AKP’s misconception that its Islamic counterparts would achieve power after the Arab uprisings just as they had done in Turkey in 2002. Behlül Özkan* Spring 2015 * Dr. Behlül Özkan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Marmara University, Istanbul. 71 VOLUME 14 NUMBER 1 BEHLÜL ÖZKAN he 1995 elections in Turkey, in which the Islamist Welfare Party (Refah Partisi) won the most votes, garnered much attention both in Turkey and abroad. Welfare Party leader Necmettin Erbakan took office as T prime minister the following year, the first time in the country’s histo- ry that an Islamist had occupied an executive position. Erbakan was subsequently forced out of office in the “post-modern coup” of 28 February 1997, widely inter- preted as a sign that achieving power by democratic means was still impossible for Islamists. Prominent Islamists such as current President and former Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have often declared themselves to be the victims of the February 28 coup, which they cite as an instance of the perpetual repression faced by Islamists and their political constituencies since the founding of the Republic.

Ancak tek partinin otoriter politikacıları, kurumları ve bürokratları bir muhalefetin yaşamasını imkânsız hale getirmişti. Bu süreçte Cumhurbaşkanı İsmet İnönü, iktidar ve muhalefet partileri arasına tarafsız olarak girmiş ve muhalefetin de iktidar kadar yasal olduğunu belirten, 12 Temmuz Beyannamesi’ni yayımlamıştır. Bu makalenin amacı siyasi tarihimizde iktidar muhalefet ilişkilerinin kilitlendiği durumlara bir başarı örneği olarak gösterilen, 12 Temmuz Beyannamesi’nin önemini ve siyasal etkilerini analiz etmektir.

THE POLITICAL EFFECTS AND IMPORTANCE OF TWELVE JULY DECLARATION A Success Example of Conflict Resolutıon In Our Political Life ABSTRACT Following World War II, Turkey’s transition into multy-party political life occured within six months, which is a pre-condition of democratic countries. However, single-party regime’s institutions, bureaucrats and politicians made it impossible for a real opposition to come true in a short time. President İsmet İnönü, mediated impartially between the ruling and opposition parties, and pointed out that the opposition also was as legitimate as the ruling power. The subject of this article is to analyze national and international dimensions of the declaration of 12 July 1947, which is regarded as an examplary of success in the situations when the ruling power and opposition relations were in a stalemate in our political life.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

Taxonomy of Minority Governments LISA LA FORNARA INTRODUCTION A minority government in its most basic form is a government in which the party holding the most parliamentary seats still has fewer than half the seats in parliament and therefore cannot pass legislation or advance policy without support from unaffiliated parties.1 Because seats in minority parliaments are more evenly distributed amongst multiple parties, opposition parties have greater opportunity to block legislation. A minority government must therefore negotiate with external parties and adjust its policies to garner the majority of votes required to advance its initiatives.2 This paper serves as a taxonomy of minority governments in recent history and proceeds in three parts.

  • Otto Stenrothista Alexander Stubbiin
    1 Ulkoasiainministeriön juhlaseminaari 27.5. 2008 Klaus Törnudd Otto Stenrothista Alexander Stubbiin Ulkoasiainministeriössä on alusta lähtien ollut paljon töitä. Suomen ensimmäinen ulkoasiainministeri Otto Stenroth on muistelmissaan kertonut miten hän nimityksen saatuaan toukokuun lopussa 1918 joutui melkein epätoivon valtaan, kun asioiden ja puheille pyrkijöiden lukumäärä oli valtava, eikä työvoimaa ollut riittävästi Sisällissota oli silloin juuri takana, valkoinen osapuoli oli voittanut, ja asioita ryhdyttiin järjestämään koeteltuja eurooppalaisia tapoja noudattaen. Suomessa rekrytoitiin nopeasti vasta perustettuun ulkoasiaintoimituskuntaan nuoria kyvykkäitä henkilöitä. Vanhempia, itsenäisyysliikkeessä ansioituneita miehiä lähetettiin edustajiksi ulkomaille. Lisäksi lähetettiin virkamies Tukholmaan tutustumaan Ruotsin ulkoministeriön organisaatioon ja toimintaan sekä kutsuttiin salaneuvos Karl Müller Saksasta antamaan diplomatian työmuotoja ja käytäntöjä koskevia neuvoja. Suunnilleen samalla tavalla ovat mm. Baltian tasavallat joutuneet toimimaan 1990-luvun alussa itsenäisyyden palautumisen jälkeen. Alkuaikoina töissä oli seitsemäntoista virkamiestä, jotka ministeri Stenroth oli suurimmaksi osaksi itse valinnut. Valmiita malleja oli olemassa, mutta jonkun verran kompasteltiin kirjeenvaihdon muotoilussa ensimmäisen vuoden aikana. Tunnettu tapaus liittyy pitkään ranskankieliseen noottiin, jonka Suomen asiainhoitaja Tukholmassa kesäkuun lopulla vuonna 1918 luovutti Ison-Britannian lähettiläälle. Lähettilään ensi reaktio oli ollut, että
