June 2023Was ist Liberalismus?
by Elif Özmen
Wer über Demokratie spricht, darf über Liberalismus nicht schweigen. Liberale Prinzipien wie Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Gewaltenteilung, Menschenrechte und Toleranz gehören zum festen Bestand moderner Demokratien. Daher ist die gegenwärtig vielbeschworene Krise der Demokratie auch eine Krise des Liberalismus. Dieser könne, so meinen viele, seine Versprechen nicht mehr einlösen. Gegen die allzu geläufigen Gemeinplätze und Krisendiskurse über den Liberalismus positioniert sich das Buch Elif Özmens mit einer systematischen Darstellung seiner philosophischen Grundlagen, normativen Architekturen und aktuellen Kontroversen. Eine Verteidigung des Liberalismus als der am wenigsten schlechten unter den Regierungs- und Lebensformen.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024Diaspora as translation and decolonisation
by Ipek Demir
This innovative study engages critically with existing conceptualisations of diaspora, arguing that if diaspora is to have analytical purchase, it should illuminate a specific angle of migration or migrancy. To reveal the much-needed transformative potential of the concept, the book looks specifically at how diasporas undertake translation and decolonisation. It offers various conceptual tools for investigating diaspora, with a specific focus on diasporas in the Global North and a detailed empirical study of the Kurdish diaspora in Europe. The book also considers the backlash diasporas of colour have faced in the Global North.

Business, Economics & LawFebruary 2025The political economy of Turkey’s integration to Europe
Uneven development and hegemony
by Elif Uzgören
This book examines Turkey's integration with Europe within structural dynamics of globalisation from a critical political economy perspective. Critical approaches have been sidelined within European Studies. Turkish enlargement is not an exemption. The analyses are based on original data generated by 109 interviews conducted in 2010, 2017 and 2023 with five categories of actors: representatives of capital and labour, political parties, state officials, and struggles around ecology, patriarchy and migration. It argues that the pro-membership was hegemonic in the 2000s which was contested by two rival class strategies, Ha-vet and neo-mercantilism. In the 2010s, pro-membership is no longer hegemonic within rising critical tone of social forces supporting rival class strategies. Unevenness of Turkey's trajectory of integration to Europe is likely to be consolidated through market integration and management of migration through transactional approach.

Natural polymers have been utilized extensively in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, oil drilling and paint industries. Their non-toxic and inexpensive attributes readily enhance their commercial acceptability and make them potent agents in lieu of synthetic polymers. This book explores the opportunistic utility of natural polymers in developing effective drug delivery systems and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of their source, chemical structure and mechanism of action. Covering novel polymers for drug delivery - in particular extracts from plants, microorganisms and proteins, as well as water soluble and water insoluble biodegradable polymers - it presents an encyclopaedic overview of natural polymers': - quintessential roles in binding drugs towards enhancing bioavailability - modification and derivatization for targeted delivery - role as active drugs Natural Polymers for Drug Delivery is an invaluable resource for researchers, students and industrial scientists in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology and food science. ; This book provides an overview of the source, chemical structure and action mechanism of natural polymers.

October 2021Lydian Painted Pottery Abroad
The Gordion Excavations 1950-1973
by R. Gul Gurtekin-Demir
This book is the first major study of Lydian material culture at Gordion and also the first published monograph on Lydian painted pottery from any site excavation. Richly illustrated, it provides a comprehensive definition and analysis of Lydian ceramics based on stylistic, archaeological, and textual evidence, while thoroughly documenting the material’s stratigraphic contexts. The book situates the ceramic corpus within its broader Anatolian cultural context and offers insights into the impact of Lydian cultural interfaces at Gordion. The Lydian pottery found at Gordion was largely produced at centers other than Sardis, the Lydian royal capital, although Sardian imports are also well attested and began to influence Gordion’s material culture as early as the 7th century BCE, if not before. Following the demise of the Lydian kingdom, a more limited repertoire of Lydian ceramics demonstrably continued in use at Gordion into the Achaemenid Persian period in the late 6th and 5th centuries BCE. The material was excavated by Professor Rodney Young’s team between 1950 and 1973 and is fully presented here for the first time. Ongoing research in the decades following Young’s excavations has led to a more refined understanding of Gordion’s archaeological contexts and chronology, and, consequently, we are now able to view the Lydian ceramic corpus within a more secure stratigraphic framework than would have been the case if the material had been published shortly after the excavations.

Children's & YAA Twiggy Harmful Thingy
by Elif Yonat Togay, Gamze Seret
This story clearly captures how a tiny trash thrown into the nature can affect the life of another animal. Mr. Lupa was turning ninety-three on that day, so on his birthday party they used plastic straws one of which drifts into the river. On the very same morning Mrs. Caretta laid her eggs in sand and set out into the ocean. When she gets hungry, she gulps down that same plastic straw and starts to struggle desperately. Thankfully there is one animal who comes to her rescue. This picture book is about twiggy harmful thingies called plastic straws that are used for about 20 minutes but they stay in the environment for 200 years.

Ouchieee
by Author: Elif Seyrekbasan Illustrator: Nesibe Çelebi
The author draws attention to the effect of empowering the child when coping with difficult issues, and doing this by getting support from the child’s own life and “successes.” Cansu is in the emergency service at the hospital with her family. As the nurse approaches with a needle in her hand to take blood from her, Cansu starts shouting: “Ouchieee”. The other children in the hospital are nervous: “What are they doing to make this child shout so fiercely?” However, the tip of the needle has not even touched Cansu, but she screams out of breath: Ouchieee! And at the end of these shouts—maybe we should say calls—a girl appears at the speed of a jet and says, “Here I am with your call.” Cansu is confused. She is sure that she did not call anyone. Where did this girl come from? That moment is the meeting of Ouchie and Cansu. Ouchie is there to help her get through this “difficult” process in the hospital. Meet our pratogonists, who will add color to children’s rich imaginations and encourage them to deal with their fears.
