Turkey’s National Strategy on Regional Development (2014- -2023) and a critical view of development corridors

Narodowa Strategia Rozwoju Regionalnego Turcji na lata 2014-2023 a krytyczne spojrzenie na korytarze rozwoju

Author(s): Oğuz Özbek / Language(s): English / Issue: 19/2019

Keywords: Turkey; regional development strategies; development corridors; functional regions;

This paper draws attention to various critical issues on new development corridors introduced in Turkey’s National Strategy on Regional Development for 2014-2023 (BGUS) in reference to the debate on functional and normative regions. The synthetic and normative treatment of development corridors in BGUS seems problematic in terms of the conceptualization of functional regions in a dynamic and realistic manner. The structural problems of development planning in Turkey since the 1950s signify the need for redefining development corridors as functional regions addressing the concerns of governance, functional linkages, core and hinterland interactions and the modifiable areal unit problem. What is suggested in this paper is that a holistic and multi-layer approach is more suitable for delineating the development corridors in Turkey rather than a threefold classification in BGUS (development, transportation and tourism corridors).

World Development Report 2023: Migrants, Refugees, and Societies (World Bank, 2023)

Raportul privind dezvoltarea mondială 2023 - Migranți, refugiați și societăți (Banca Mondială, 2023)

Author(s): Daniela Albu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: migrants; refugees; match and motivate; migration policies; sustainable development;

Rich countries, as well as a growing number of middle-income countries (which are among the main sources of migrants), are facing demographic decline. As global competition for workers and talents intensifies across the globe, in most low-income countries there will be most likely a rapid population growth, which might put pressure on them to create more jobs for young people. Underscoring the urgency of better management of migration, the authors of the World Development Report 2023 propose an innovative approach to this issue inspired by labour economics and international law based on the “match and motive” framework. Arguing that governments should strengthen the matching of migrants’ skills with demand in destination societies, protecting refugees and adopting policies to reduce the movements of distressed migrants, the Report represents a support tool for policy makers on migration and refugees. At the same time, it provides inspiration to decision-makers by exploring new ways of managing migration in accordance with the global geopolitical reality.

Publishing poetry in translation in Slovakia 2013–2023

Publishing poetry in translation in Slovakia 2013–2023

Author(s): Ján Gavura / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2024

Keywords: Translated poetry; Publishing practices; Small poetry presses; Survey of translations in Slovakia; Survey of translations 2013–2023

Poetry’s peripheral position in translation affects the book market by leaving its production to small and non-profit presses that compensate for their economicloss with state and cultural subsidies. This has been the reality in Slovakia during the last decade (2013–2023), with most poetry translations published by small semi-professional presses headed by single managers who, in most cases, happen to be authors, poets, and poetry translators themselves. In the period under review,158 poetry translations were published by 24 presses, four of which published 88of the collections (55.7%). The most prolific publishers include three presses run by poets – FACE (run by Ján Gavura), Skalná ruža (Juraj Kuniak), and Modrý Peter(Peter Milčák) – while the fourth press is Vydavateľstvo Spolku slovenských spisovateľov (VSSS), the publishing house of the Slovak Writers’ Society. Each press has a specific policy of selection for publishing, with the diversity of poets being one of the main criteria, and translators’ input being another. Unlike other genres of translation, the English language is not as dominant in the portfolio of the four most prolific presses, followed by Serbian and Polish. A semi-peripheral language position is held by Spanish, German, Hungarian, Norwegian, and Slovenian, but there are also translations from other 13 languages. This work was supported by VEGA 1/0666/22 “Slovak Literary Culture After 1989 (Dictionary of Terms,Participants and Institutions)”.

In 2023, the investigations at L4 and L3 homes were completed. Another area opened up for L6 and L7 research. The western area, where the settlement's defense moat is located, has been checked. At the same time, checks were also made in the wooded area of the settlement, where, according to Andrei Asăndulesei's prospecting, there were other dwellings. Conclusions were drawn regarding L4, a sanctuary dwelling, with a floor and several annexes, which belongs to the second level of housing in the settlement. The L3 dwelling is also a one story sanctuary dwelling, with two construction phases, connected to the two living levels (I and II). An altar with a monumental statue and a cup for offerings was set up on the first level. Later, in the next level, the layout of the construction protected the old altar. An altar with female anthropomorphic statues was discovered on the floor of the dwelling from this phase. Two pit houses, Groapa Mare and B8n (pit house with 8 levels of adobies), belong to the first dwelling level, which may be related to the sanctuary on the first level of L3. House L6 was partially investigated, and L7 fully. Both were disturbed by subsequent habitation, especially pits from the Cozia-Saharna culture.

SWOT ANALYSIS ON 2023 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN NIGERIA

SWOT ANALYSIS ON 2023 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN NIGERIA

Author(s): Idris ABDULRAHAMAN,Vincent ESEOGHENE EFEBEH / Language(s): English / Issue: 27/2023

Keywords: SWOT analysis; Presidential; Candidates; Elections; Nigeria;

Electioneering is at the very heart of democracy and its sustenance in all climes where it is in practice. This being a statement of fact, it would therefore be apt to posit that there can be no viable and vibrant democracy without elections, as it is through election(s) that gives the people the rare opportunity to have a say in how and who governs them. Elections are thus at the core of the operationalization and consolidation of democracy. Accordingly, this paper examines the just concluded general elections in Nigeria with a view to profiling the level of preparedness of the four front-line candidates of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr. Peter Obi, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. The study adopted the SWOT analysis, which implies the use of Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats to analyze the candidates’ level of preparedness for the elections. The paper found that, of the four major candidates, the candidate of the All Peoples’ Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, appears to stand a better chance not just to win the election but also to govern, this is because of his track records of mentorship which spread across the length and breadth of the country and his track records as a one-time governor. The paper suggested among other things that human capacity development and viable political mentorship are very potent and important investment in political leadership.

Keywords: Bohemist Meeting; interdisciplinary; patronage; Prague; networks; sociohistorical;

The 27th Munich Bohemist Meeting, held on March 10, 2023, marked a significant return to in-person gatherings after two years of pandemic-induced virtual sessions. Scholars from various countries, including Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Italy, and the USA, convened to discuss current research projects on Czech and Slovak history and culture. The event featured diverse presentations, ranging from early modern patronage to trade and mass violence around 1900, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches and epochal diversity. Highlights included discussions on collective music promotion in Vienna, the role of Prague's female artists in the First Czechoslovak Republic, and the regulation of the book trade between Vienna and Prague. The meeting underscored the importance of networks and institutions in shaping sociohistorical transformations, with a particular focus on Vienna and Prague. The final panel addressed social orders and public space in multiethnic Cisleithania and interwar Czechoslovakia, exploring themes of violence, nation, and status. The event concluded with informal exchanges, reflecting the ongoing interest in Bohemian studies.

Keywords: archaeology; excavation; Roman; Bronze Age; interdisciplinary; fieldwork;

In 2023, the Institute of Classical Archaeology at Charles University conducted extensive research across Bulgaria, Croatia, France, North Macedonia, Uzbekistan, and Turkey, supported by the European Regional Development Fund. In Bulgaria, the focus was on documenting Bronze Age and Roman Imperial period burial mounds, while in Croatia, the final phase of a long-term project in Lovas revealed a well-preserved Roman house. French excavations at Bibracte uncovered early human activity and a Roman sanctuary. In North Macedonia, stratigraphic and chronological data were gathered from hilltop settlements, and geological surveys were conducted around Lake Ohrid. Turkish research at Kaymakçı focused on ceramic finds and grinding stones, and in Uzbekistan, the team continued to explore burial practices and settlement patterns in the Sherabad District. The interdisciplinary project in Italy and Croatia examined the provenance of white marble, highlighting Ravenna's connections with the Eastern Mediterranean. These diverse projects underscore the institute's commitment to uncovering and understanding ancient civilizations through meticulous fieldwork and analysis.

The Dynamics of Public Expenditure in Bulgaria (2014–2023)

Author(s): Rumen Brussarski / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2025

Keywords: public expenditure

The modern state provides public goods, redistributes income and wealth, and ensures macroeconomic stability. It incurs expenses for this purpose which are financed (mainly) through taxation. In this sense, the scale and structure of public expenditures are key indicators of the state's participation in the economic life of its society. This article is devoted to the dynamics of public expenditure in Bulgaria over the last ten years (2014–2023): its total amount, current and capital expenditures, and expenditure by function.

Author(s): Elona Fejzaj / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2025

Keywords: consumer; digital marketing; social media; promotion;

Aim: In recent years, social media has become a very popular tool for companies that want to advertise theirproducts and services and attract the right number of customers. This article aims to indicate how socialmedia and digital marketing in Albania influence consumer behavior using marketing techniques. Method:To achieve the aim desk research and survey research were used. The information required to addressthe study questions was gathered via a semi-structured online questionnaire with nine questions, mostof which were single-choice. Young and middle-aged Albanians were sampled in October 2023 using a pur-poseful random method. The questions included in the questionnaire allowed us to indicate, how users reactto advertisements on different social media platforms and to the content found on these networks. Results:According to the findings, social media influences digital marketing, with Instagram being the primary plat-form for online product purchases. Older individuals use websites less for online shopping (even becausethey need to use a foreign language). In contrast, younger or middle-aged people use social media more formarketing or purchasing. While its use is not yet a habit for many people, it is a noticeable trend. Also, thevisual part of an advertisement increases the chances of spending money on the product that is being adver-tised. Conclusions: During 2019‒2024, online marketing in Albania has become more important and this trendwould be increasing in future. It adds to company revenue and influences economic development on a largerscale. However, certain limitations prevent making definitive recommendations for the future, as the number ofresponses was restricted to just 50; this study acts as a guide for additional related research in the coming years.

Digitization of the collection of Naum Celakoski (1934 – 2023)

Дигитализација на збирката на Наум Целакоски (1934 – 2023)

Author(s): Ana Ashtalkovska Gajtanoska / Language(s): Macedonian / Issue: 87/2025

Keywords: digitization; Naum Celakoski; institutional memory; archiving

One of the key initiatives of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology (IEA) is the preservation and digitization of the materials from prominent figures in these fields. Following the passing of Naum Celakoski in January 2023, the IEA was privileged to receive his extensive collection and library. The digitization of such collections is crucial, particularly for research into the development of these disciplines within the Macedonian context. This effort allows for a deeper understanding of the historical, social, and technical circumstances in which these scholars worked during their most productive years. Equally crucial is the role of archiving and digitization in reinforcing institutional memory. These preserved materials not only honor the individuals who shaped the growth of these fields but also emphasize the continuity of the disciplines and the institutions throughout history.
