This book is about economic growth and development through a new way of analysis. It is a research that explains many phenomena seen in the growth process such as productivity, economic stagnation, under-investment, ineffectiveness of foreign aid, wage trends, factor flows and concentrations, technology adoption, and convergence by “relational analysis”.

Relational analysis is a general alternative analysis that focuses on the relationships between factors and uses their vital consequences to extract knowledge rather than ignore them artificially and fatally. It emphasizes that there are important interrelationships between factors such as complementarity, substitution, embodiment, directing, input-output, and facilitation. Taking into account the relations enable to get more complete and accurate answers to important questions, especially in applied works that require real predictions such as forecasting and policy formulation. The analysis can be fruitfully applied in any field, and as the growth analysis shows it fundamentally enriches the ideas, and protect from misleading assumptions.

In the book the readers will find:

– Origins and alternative definitions of complementarity and substitutions,

– Eleven implications of these relationships for economic growth and development,

– Many explanations and references for inferences regarding growth accounting, poverty traps and thresholds, multiple eqilibria, obsolescence, financial development, growth accelerations, imitations and barriers, and empirical anaysis.

The book is for anyone looking for an alternative way to learn about the basics of the growth process. Researchers, students, and staffs at universities and research institutions and other social scientists in government, business, international organizations should greatly benefit from reading the book.

Küreselleşme ve sanayileşme olgusu ile artan iktisadi faaliyetlerin olumlu etkilerinin yanı sıra ortaya koymuş olduğu negatif dışsallıklar dikkatleri insan ve ekonomi açısından oldukça önemli olan çevre konusuna çekmiştir. Çevre ekonomisinin iktisadi düşünceler tarihindeki yerinin incelenmesi çevre konusuna verilen önemin yüzyıllarca süregeldiğini ancak son yıllarda üzerinde oldukça tartışılması gereken bir konu haline dönüştüğünü göstermektedir. Bu noktada kitabımızda çevre ekonomisinin geçmişini inceleyerek geleceğe ışık tutması açısından çevre sorunlarından kaynaklı dışsal maliyetlere uygulanan vergiler ve etkinliği üzerinde durulmuş, çevre ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma ilişkisi çeşitli göstergeler ve indekslerle açıklanmış, ekonomik büyüme ve dışa açıklığın çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkileri ile ekonomik büyüme ve çevre vergilerinin çevre kirliliğine olan etkisi Kyoto Protokolünün de göz önünde bulundurulduğu çeşitli ampirik modellerle analiz edilmiştir.

During the 19th century, British diplomacy towards the Ottoman Empire was based on rejuvenating and revitalising the administration system with a series of social and political reforms. Although British attitudes began to transform during the Near Eastern Crisis of 1876-8 and the Anglo-Ottoman alliance was interrupted, the policy changed dramatically on the eve of the First World War.Nonetheless, major events such as the Chanak Crisis in the British Cabinet, the occupation of Constantinople and Smyrna and finally the Turkish Nationalist Movementunder the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk effected the dynamics of Anglo-Ottoman relations. This book examines the ground of these policies and analyses how thisstorm was over in British foreign policies towards Turkey between 1918 and 1923.
