Öğe Strategy and strategic discourse in Turkish foreign policy(Routledge, 2020) Şahin, MehmetHasan Yükselen provides a comprehensive analysis of Turkish Foreign Policy from a critical realist perspective. Yükselen raises the question of why there is an inconsistency and (in)congruence between the articulated discursive change of strategy and the underlying strategic continuity in Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) since 1919. He seeks to explore the factors that determine strategy and strategic discourse of TFP through relying on the structure and agency debate. Through adding this debate, the author seeks to explain the unobservable social structures that are able to alter the represented discourse. The author seeks to understand the factors determining the strategic discourse of TFP, and the gap between the spoken and actual strategy.Öğe Possible effect of biotechnology on plant gene pools in Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2015) Demir, AynurThe recent rapid developments in biotechnology have made great contributions to the study of plant gene pools. The application of in vitro methods in freeze storage and DNA protection techniques in fast production studies has made major advances. From that aspect, biotechnology is an indispensable means for the protection of plant gene pools, which includes the insurance of sustainable agriculture and development of species. Besides all the positive developments, one of the primary risks posed by the uncontrolled spreading of genetically modified organisms is the possibility for other non-target organisms to be negatively affected. Genes of plant origin should be given priority in this type of studies by taking into consideration such negative effects that may result in disruption of ecological balance and damage to plant genetic pools. Turkey, due to its ecological conditions and history, has a very important position in terms of plant gene pools. This richness ought to be protected without corrupting its natural quality and natural evolution process in order to provide the sources of species that will be required for future sustainable agricultural applications. Thus, attention should be paid to the use of biotechnological methods, which play an important role especially in the protection and use of local and original plant gene pools.
