In this book, we attempt to make a comparative evaluation of modern macroeconomic schools: Monetarism and New Classical School based on the Classical System that envisage automatic full employment or natural rate of unemployment (NRU) equilibrium (AFNE or ANRUE) vs. New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics based on the Keynesian System which gives unemployment equilibrium (UNE) or non-automatic NRU equilibrium (NANRUE) due to insufficiency of aggregate demand.

In order to determine which school is relevant, first the basic assumptions of these systems are compared: i) rational vs. adjusted vs. heterogeneous expectations, ii) existence of perfect competition in all markets leading to flexibility of prices and wages vs. imperfect competition giving rise to rigidities, and iii) presence or lack of coordination between markets.

In the final phase of our evaluations the performance of the developed economies are surveyed to establish whether we meet with AFNE or ANRUE or else UNE or NANRUE; and whether policy prescriptions devised by respective schools solve or alleviate the problem at hand when implemented.

Our investigations point out that New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian schools are more relevant compared to Monetarism and New Classical School. The choice between New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics, however, is more difficult to make although New Keynesian Economics seems more widespread than Post-Keynesian Economics. Objectively, Post-Keynesian assumptions seem more realistic; normatively, however, New Keynesian stands seems more fit to the present day move towards globalization.

İnternet ve mobil iletişim devriminin ardından gelmekte olan bilişimin fiziksel dünyaya fark edilemeyecek ölçüde nüfus ettiği bir yaygın bilişim evresi pazarlama disiplininde iş yapma şekillerini köklü olarak değiştirmeye adaydır. Yaygın bilişim kapsamında geliştirilen ortam duyarlı mobil pazarlama uygulamaları, müşteri ilişkileri yönetimi sistemlerinin, müşteri hakkındaki yer değiştirme karakteristiği dâhil birçok farklı değişkeni gerçek zamanlı olarak takip edip tüketici davranışının “neden” sorusuna yanıt bulmayı ve müşteriyle hareket halindeyken dinamik olarak pazarlama iletişimi kurmayı mümkün kılmaktadır. Tam ihtiyaç anında ve noktasında gerçek zamanlı teklif sunumu özelliğiyle ortam duyarlı mobil pazarlama uygulamalarının müşteri ilişkileri yönetimi kavramının yeni baştan ele alınmasına yol açması beklenmektedir. Bu kitapta müşteri ilişkileri yönetimi sistemleri yaygın bilişim vizyonu çerçevesinde ele alınmış, söz konusu uygulamalara dönük tüketici tutumu incelenmiştir. Çalışma, ortam duyarlılık boyutlarının tümünü birden ele alan almasıyla özgün değer taşımaktadır.

International Security and Terrorism analyses contemporary issues in international orders. This book assesses the terrorist attacks which were organised in African, Asian, European and Middle Eastern countries in detail. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive understanding for academics, practitioners, researchers, students and readers who are interested in international security and terrorism. It utilises data about casualties, attack types and countries that exposed terrorism. The book critically examines terrorism, traditional counter-terrorism tactics, securitisation and the new terrorism. It focuses on religiously-motivated terrorist groups, e.g. al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and al-Shabaab.
