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.

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.

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.

FictionTwin Flame
by Nish Amarnath
TWIN FLAME is an inter-racial love story with literary overtones, multicultural stripes and strands of magical realism. A South Asian Math prodigy’s wish for a boy in a painting to come alive materializes in the form of an Austrian-Jewish writer. But a troubling secret wrenches them apart, forcing them to confront their worst fears, if life is to give them one final chance. Sherry Kasal, diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at the age of five, hopes to draw upon her passion for Math to discover a cure for conditions like her own. She stumbles upon a painting of a boy trapped in a snowstorm. She talks to the boy in this picture whenever she's sad, frustrated, angry and/or dejected. When writer Shaddy Haas enters her life, Sherry is motivated to resume work on a concentric model of electromagnetism that she had abandoned as a teen. Alas, circumstances wrench Sherry and Shaddy apart. Sherry, who reluctantly marries a lawyer, lands in Manhattan, where she scrambles to pick up the vestiges of her shelved research dream and realizes that she’s living a lie. Sherry must also unravel a flabbergasting secret that links Shaddy to the painting of the boy in the snowstorm as they try to find their way back to each other. Twin Flame, whose narrative is embedded with the alternating voices of its protagonists in both first-person and third-person points of view, combines the mystical ethos of Elif Shafak's 'Forty Rules of Love' with the futuristic cadence of Erich Segal's 'Prizes' and the exotic romanticism of Jan-Philipp Sendker's 'The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.'

FictionDestiny
by Antonio Tenorio
Destiny is a novel about how human beings are destined to break away from the ones we love, but then mysteriously, maybe even miraculously run into them again. Atila and Damla were teenage lovers. They haven’t run into each other for nearly 50 years. But now Atila, a distinguished professor, travels back to Ritskos for a conference, the strange city where he grew up, met, and fell in love with Damla. Their new encounter will turn into a maddening maze of out-of-control events. As Atila prepares for his conference, an inner voice, and the memories of his years growing up in Ritskos, take over making the reader wonder if what is being told is even reliable. That strange voice establishes a bridge between the facts of the story we are told, and its mythical relevance. And this is how we learn that myth, embodied in a voice, is also a mirror of our destiny, leading us to think that any encounter, new or refreshed, is but a revelation.
