A Defining Moment - Transnational Nursing Education

Author(s): Nirmala Arunasalam / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

A DEFINING MOMENT, Transnational Nursing Education by Dr Nirmala ARUNASALAM is a competent and accessible text focusing on nurse education. Recommended for teaching and learning as well as pedagogical courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is a must have and a must read in a world of “pseudo factum knowledge” where social and human oriented professions and scientific disciplines such as nursing are getting little attention. The depth of the background for this study, and the intimate self-reflection Dr Arunasalam provides for this monograph greatly enhances the quality of the study. This book is an insightful exploration of an example of transnational higher education which identified some key questions that need to be asked about such programmes.

Economic Survival Strategies of Turkish Migrants in London

Author(s): Olgu Karan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

Olgu Karan’s research offers original insights for anyone interested in how and why particular parts of London are now strongly identified with migrants from particular regions of the world.North London’s Green Lanes, a street stretching from Hackney to Haringey, or in local vernacular, from Stoke Newington to Wood Green, has undergone huge transformations over the past 50 years.Turkish Cypriot migrants first came in significant numbers to North London after the 1974 war that displaced hundreds of thousands of both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. They and later Turkish-speaking migrants mainly got jobs in London’s textile manufacturing industry. Those industries largely disappeared in the 1990s.In the 2010s Green Lanes now has several hundred Kurdish and Turkish restaurants and shops. These employ thousands of first, second and third generation Turkey-originating self-employed or family helpers. Karan’s research explains how this massive shift from employed status to self-employed took place. He records the economic devastation brought about by the rapid collapse of the textile industry, arguing this created the struggle for survival that forced thousands into self-employment. Insightfully, Karan also explores the economic basis of this shift. As textile workers, few Turkey-originating migrants had been able to save all the capital they needed to set-up take-away cafes, restaurants or off-licences and general food stores.The book traces the creation of ethnic partnerships and a willingness to provide loans to Imece/Zibare. These are the Turkish and Kurdish names given to village-scale collaborations for harvesting, constructing a water pipeline, providing security for village’s grazing borders with neighbouring villages.

Entrepreneurial Transitions in Family Business: Organic Model, Governance and Succession

Author(s): Simon O'Leary,Chris Swaffin-Smith,Rebecca Fakoussa / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

Family business is one of the earliest forms of economic organisation and is still the most common form of commercial entity in the world, fulfilling roles across the spectrum of business and organisational activities, ranging from craft specialists, to local mobile food outlets, to online traders, to corner shops, to market sector suppliers, to internationally branded multinationals. Starting up, developing and maintaining such initiatives requires a dedicated entrepreneurial spirit and a range of management skills, as well as periodic episodes of good timing and targeting. Since the advent of mechanisation and industrialisation, larger organisations and publicly-listed companies have often been viewed as the measure of economic sustainability, in part because collecting information on such groups is relatively more straightforward than doing the same for the many hundreds of thousands of smaller family firms, sole traders and entrepreneurs. This book aims to reinforce the importance of family businesses and to highlight the challenges they face as they evolve.

Exchange Rate Volatility in Emerging Economies

Author(s): Abdulkader M. Aljandali / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

This book is a contribution to the knowledge concerning the volatility and forecasting of exchange rates in the emerging markets. It focuses on the exchange rates of the leading trading blocs in that part of the world and examines exchange rates of selected emerging countries across continents in order to explain local and regional variations in exchange rates and the determinants of fluctuations in selected countries in Africa, Asia, Central and Latin America. Exchange rates of countries from the four different regions are investigated separately, followed by an analysis within and across regions to identify common patterns of exchange rates fluctuations. Monthly forecasts are generated for a period of 24 months to test the performance of the times series, cointegration and combination techniques used in this book.The results show that exchange rates of countries in the same region behave similarly following a shock to the system. Additionally, exchange rates of countries at the same stage of development albeit in different geographical location (Central America, Southern Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia) share some similarities. In this book I argue that all exchange rates examined have been volatile.

Image of Istanbul, Impact of ECOC 2010 on the city image

Author(s): Evinç Dogan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

In this spectacle, the urban spaces were projected as the theatre décor while residents and visitors became the spectators. The images of Istanbul pile up in videos and posters to show the city in every aspect in which everything becomes mishmash and the message gets lost in the chaos. While Istanbul is depicted as a mystified city through Orientalist representations, this image of Istanbul moves between the opposite ends of the contrasting pairs, and in contestation."Culture, defined as making sense of the world (Hall, 1997: 2), is an integral part of branding a place, which involves cultural exchange (Anholt, 2005: 140). Mega-events may be used as forms of advertising for city marketing and branding, where the signification is not only about production of meaning but also staging of the meaning. The cities hosting mega-events can be turned into the protagonists of the spectacle by showcasing their cultural products as well as cultural being. Thus, what staged there are the city, its image as well as the events. The mega-events are helpful to spread the word about the city, but the meaning is created also through imaging the city and positioning this image in the minds of the people."

Little Turkey in Great Britain

Author(s): Ibrahim Sirkeci,Tuncay Bilecen,M. Rauf Kesici,Betül Dilara Seker,Fethiye Tilbe,K. Onur Unutulmaz,Yakup Çostu,Saniye Dedeoglu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

LITTLE TURKEY IN GREAT BRITAIN co-authored by Ibrahim Sirkeci, Tuncay Bilecen, Yakup Çoştu, Saniye Dedeoğlu, M. Rauf Kesici, B. Dilara Şeker, Fethiye Tilbe, K. Onur Unutulmaz is the outcome of a collaborative writing exercise drawing upon a dozen of research projects carried out by authors independently and collaboratively from 2011 to 2015. This book is expected to be the authoritative resource for anybody interested in the contemporary Turkish and Kurdish speaking immigrant community in the UK. Rich material covers official statistics as well as a wealth of narratives built upon hundreds of face-to-face interviews carried out in London and elsewhere in Britain. From the back cover: "Turkish migration to British Isles has a long history but sizeable diaspora communities and enclaves of Turkish origin have emerged only in the last four to five decades. Earlier groups arrived were Cypriots fleeing the troubled island in the Eastern Mediterranean whilst Turks and Kurds of the mainland were not even considering the UK as a destination. This book is about these contemporary movers from Turkey, their movement trajectories, practices, and integration in Britain. Eight researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds and methodological schools came together to do the ground work for the students of this emerging subfield of human mobility studies. Turkey is now at the forefront of accommodating large scale inward mobility mostly due to the crisis in Syria and Iraq. This also brings some attention to Turkey’s own diasporic populations."

Modelando el Transnacionalismo

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish / Publication Year: 2019

El término transnacionalismo se desarrolló en la década de los 1990 cuando los investigadores académicos respondieron al crecimiento migratorio nivel global y definieron las formas en que los migrantes organizaban sus vidas en sus lugares de origen y destino. Basándose en el trabajo pionero de Nina Glick-Schiller, Linda Basch y Christina Blanc-Szanton, Michael Kearney y otros, los investigadores académicos indagaron más allá de la geografía y la economía de la migración para considerar una variedad de flujos migratorios, así como cuestiones de género, pertenencia, clase y raza. Continuando con esta tradición, los autores incluidos en este volumen revisan y reinterpretan el transnacionalismo para una nueva generación de investigadores y los retos que las migraciones contemporáneas conllevan. [The term transnationalism developed in the 1990s as academic researchers responded to the global growth of migration and defined how movers organized their lives in places of origin and destination. Building upon the pioneering work of Nina Glick-Schiller, Linda Basch and Christina Blanc-Szanton, Michael Kearney and others, scholars looked beyond geography and the economics of migration to consider a variety of flows as well as issues of gender, belonging, class and race. Continuing this tradition, the authors included in this volume revise and reinterpret transnationalism for a new generation of researchers and the challenges of contemporary movement.]

Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain

Author(s): Bradley Saunders / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2015

The UK’s offer of immediate free access to A8 workers resulted in a larger-than-expected influx of A8 migrants to the UK, which caused a public backlash and heated debates over the benefits and costs of large-scale immigration. Much has been written about the political and economic impact of this influx. This book focuses instead on the complex interweaving factors affecting the work and non-work lives of skilled migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their work experience, skills and interests. The focus on the European context addresses the need for a better understanding of contemporary labour mobility within the EU. The important, though often neglected, perspective of individuals who take on work below their level forms the focus of this book. In-depth interviews analyse the lived experiences of migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their qualifications and experience."Having spent approximately half my life away from my home country, it is perhaps not surprising that I chose to examine the lives of others who made similar decisions. A culture of migration runs in the family. I have met many others who also left their home country’s shores. Whether these were academics from London or labourers from Lahore, my conversations with them made me reflect on and question our life choices and experiences. Why had we decided to leave one country and move to another? Was there something different about us compared to our peers who did not make such a move?" CONTENT Acknowledgements About the author Introduction Chapter 1: Clarifying the terminology Chapter 2: Reasons for migrating Chapter 3: The Migrants Chapter 4: Factors influencing the migrant workers’ decision to come to the UK to take up or seek work Chapter 5: Barriers in finding work commensurate with qualifications and experience Chapter 6: Coping with the skill- and status- underemployment Chapter 7: Impact of nonwork and family factors on adjustment to living and working in the UK Conclusions Appendix 1: Interview guide References Index

Post-Cold War Relations between Turkey and Syria

Author(s): Demet Senbas / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

After 2000, there was a closeness in the relations of Syrian and Turkey. However, Turkey and Syria were in dispute about water, Hatay and terrorism. Especially there was an intense tension over terrorism. This tension brought the two countries to the brink of a war in 1998. We can say that the relations between Syria and Turkey normalized after Adana Agreement in 1998. When Bashar Al-Assad came to power in Syria and as did AKP in Turkey, the relations improved even further leading to the abolishment of visas in 2009. However, with the Arab Spring, the relations turned sour and reached to a point that can’t be normalized anymore. This book analyses the relations between Syria and Turkey between 1998 and 2018.
