  Patriarchal patterns persist in Turkish society

  13 January 2011, by Şerife Tekdal

  On Dec. 7, Ayşe Paşalı became a victim of her ex-husband’s rage when she was stabbed 10 times before being left to die in agony because the authorities to whom she had pleaded for protection and safety did nothing to help her.
  The story does not begin here; Paşalı was beaten on a regular basis. In March 2009 the couple made headlines for the amount of abuse and violence that Paşalı was subjected to at the hands of her brutal husband. On one occasion Paşalı’s daughter, Burcu, called the police in (...)

  12 January 2011, by Hakan Tasçi

  When Professor Hakan Berument of Bilkent University, one of the most productive professors of economics in Turkey and my advisor during my graduate studies at Bilkent, showed me his first work on soccer, I could not resist laughing at him as a Trabzonspor fan.

  Europe : une Renaissance multiculturelle

  6 janvier 2011, par Loretta Napoleoni

  Oublions le conformisme, la corruption et la fascination des élites ! Place à la jeunesse mélangée, mobile et solidaire. Tel est le vœu de l’économiste italienne Loretta Napoleoni dans une lettre à son fils.
  Cher Julian,
  L’année prochaine, tu auras 18 ans et tu finiras le lycée, sans doute avec un mélange d’excitation et de crainte. L’avenir, pour le jeune Européen moyen, doit être à la fois une promesse d’épreuves et d’aventures. Le chômage, les montagnes de dettes, les prophéties d’effondrement (...)

  “In his last two articles Dink had commented about how threats against him had become unbearable, and he was talking about names. We would like to achieve a (...)
