Making trust across a continent: Transnational marriages between Indonesian women and Turkish men in the Black Sea region
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2024) Karabatak, Şeyda; Aras, Ramazan
The rapid advancements in communication and transportation facilities have facilitated unexpected encounters between peoble and cultures from diverse origins. People of different countries and nationalities encounter each other in global metropolitan cities or in the transit zones of global migration. With globalization, it is common for multiple trans-localities, cross-border spaces, and intercultural encounters to emerge in the frontier towns or metropolitan cities of a country. However, such encounters are uncommon in rural localities that are far from transit zones and lack the facilities of metropolitan cities. This study focuses on transnational marriage cases in a rural locality where the intensity of transnational migrations or cross-border mobilization is not intense. Intriguingly, the transnational marriages between Indonesian women and Turkish men from Giresun, a small city in the Black Sea region, mark important insights into this global interconnectedness and its reflections on local practies…
The reception of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328) in Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī’s (d. 1101/1690) works
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2025) Dumairieh, Naser; İslami İlimler Fakültesi, Temel İslam Bilimleri Bölümü
Mullā Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī (d. 1101/1690) was an Ash‛arī scholar who was heavily influenced by the Ṣufī ideas of Ibn ‛Arabī (d. 638/1240). Nevertheless, he has been described in much of 20th-century Arabic literature as a Salafī scholar and a defender of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328). Western academic studies have also described him as the scholar who rehabilitated, or at least played a crucial role in rehabilitating, Ibn Taymiyya and the Ḥanbalī school of thought. How did an Akbarian and Ash‛arī scholar come to be known as a Salafī and a defender of Ibn Taymiyya, who famously declared Ibn ‛Arabī an unbeliever? Why was al-Kūrānī labeled a Salafī and what influence did Ibn Taymiyya have on al-Kūrānī’s works? In this paper, I examine the reception of Ibn Taymiyya in al-Kūrānī’s works and argue that al-Kūrānī’s interest in and knowledge of Ibn Taymiyya’s works was limited to a single idea related to understanding ambiguous Qur’ānic verses (mutashābihāt) that served his Ṣufī project, without displaying any genuine interest in Ibn Taymiyya or his thought more generally.
A comparison between Locke’s and Mill’s notions of liberty
(İstanbul University Press, 2025) Assadi, Soheil
Throughout the last few centuries of human intellectual history, liberty has consistently assumed a prominent role as a fundamental philosophical concept. Among the various schools of political thought, the Liberalism ideology emphasizes freedom the most. In this study, two important philosophers of the liberal tradition who conducted discussions on liberalism, John Locke and John Stuart Mill, are discussed. The research method is compilation, and the similarities and differences between the thoughts of the two philosophers have been examined. According to the results of the research, Locke, who lived throughout the seventeenth century, focused on the concept of natural law, while Mill, a nineteenth-century liberal, followed a Utilitarian approach. While Locke emphasized that freedom and will are separate in terms of the abilities of the mind, Mill argued that causality is not contrary to freedom and does not mean absolute determinism by suggesting the separation of freedom and causality. Locke advocated religious tolerance and the separation of church and state. In contrast, Mill understood liberty in terms of individual autonomy and minority rights within a democratic framework, arguing freedom of expression, thought, and action should only be restricted to prevent harm to others. Despite these differences, freedom continues to be important as a general subject that should be discussed beyond the principles of the age. Furthermore, both philosophers underscored the intrinsic value of liberty as essential for human flourishing, societal progress, and the pursuit of happiness.
Individualism
(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2025) Pranzo, Diane Marie; Jahn, Beate; Schindler, Sebastian; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Sosyoloji Bölümü
Individualism in international relations is a theoretical perspective which emphasizes the role and agency of individual actors, particularly states, in shaping the dynamics and outcomes of world politics. The approach has its roots in the emergence of the modern nation-state system and emphasizes state sovereignty, rationality, self-interest and agency. The idea of individualism is linked to the wider idea of the individual in Western Europe which can be traced to the Renaissance, and is seen in the work of nineteenth-century legal scholars. Here, the state is viewed as an individual endowed with agency; it can negotiate treaties, go to war and join international organizations. Individualism has generated significant debates and has implications for the practice of statecraft and for the study of world affairs. As the international system continues to evolve, the relevance and applicability of individualism in international relations is a subject of ongoing discussions.
Assessing customer satisfaction and loyalty in the energy sector through service quality: A modified SERVQUAL analysis
(Springer, 2025) Çiçeklidağ, Paşa; Nebati, Emine Elif; Gülen, Kemal Güven; Zaim, Selim; Durakbasa, Numan M.; Gülen, Kemal Güven; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study examines the impact of service quality on customer satisfaction and loyalty in the energy sector using the SERVQUAL model. Key dimensions such as reliability, empathy, and physical features were found to significantly influence customer satisfaction. The research involved an online survey, with data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to identify both direct and indirect effects of service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Results show that improving reliability and empathy can notably enhance customer satisfaction, leading to stronger customer loyalty. However, the study acknowledges limitations, such as the generalizability of results due to the online nature of the survey and the study’s focus on a specific geographical region. The use of verbal data may also introduce bias, which future research could address by applying more detailed data collection methods and examining sub-factors. The study concludes that energy companies should refine their service strategies to better meet customer expectations, suggesting further research in different regions and sectors.
