Foregin Direct Investment, FDI is often seen to be an important factor to economic growth across the globe. It gives Multinational Enterprises the opportunity to come closer to their customers, but also a chance to achieve economies of scale. In the same way that FDI is considered to benefit a company, economists are also discussing the impact that it brings to the local market. Investments in Chi
Primary purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the currently rather limited academic literature on Asian expatriates in Turkey since this group has recently been growing in number and is expected to grow in the future. The research aims to see commonalities and derive generalizable inferences on advantages and problems of Asian expatriates in Istanbul. 23 semi-structured and mostly personal in

Republicanism has been under-acknowledged within the field of International Relations. It’s been viewed as a broad school of thought, representing civic virtue, liberty and the participation of citizens. This work assists in shedding light on Republicanism as a major, alternative theory within this field. Through an idea- analysis of Republicanism which pinpoints and shows the arguments behind the
The increasing globalization of innovation activities has generated “globally organized web of complex interactions” for innovation, which are called global innovation networks (GINs). The current study on GINs has extended our understanding of network participants to the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from emerging economy, and enlightened us on the drivers behind the participation of
This thesis unpacks the similarities and dissimilarities between Connecting Europe and Asia – Building blocks for an EU Strategy from 2018 and the Global Gateway from 2021, two Joint Communications from the European Commission and the EEAS on connectivity. The comparison shows that the Global Gateway has followed up on the suggestions for change or creation from the 2018 strategy. It shows that th
This study aims to broaden the remits of the relatively scant hitherto literature focused on the impact of the changes in macroeconomic indicators on automotive stock returns. Since a considerable fraction of previous empirical research covered multiple industries, historical results may not be directly transferable for the purposes of the analysis of the automotive industry. This article posits t
This essay discusses the dissemination of atrocity images in contemporary mass media, from the photographs of mass-graves in the Nazi concentration camps to the pictures of torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib. The central question is one of distances: the distance between the image and the event, between the picture and the beholder, and between the destroyed human body and the cultural forms
This paper selected two cities in Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou and Yiwu to take a look at the relations between the local government and their private sector since the adoption of the reform and opening policy in the late 1970s, from the angle of the functional transition of the local government's contribution to the development of the private sector. The purpose of this paper was to, through th
Effective coastal exposure assessments are crucial for adaptively managing threats from sea-level rise (SLR). Despite recent advances, global and regional assessments are constrained by omitting critical factors such as land-use change, failing to disaggregate potential impacts by land uses and oversimplifying land subsidence. Here we address these gaps by developing context-specific scenarios to
The spatial distribution of buildings is one of the key factors influencing the local environment within a city. The quantitative measurement of building distribution can provide critical information for exploring local climate patterns in urban areas. Previous studies mainly focused on the two-dimensional spatial distribution of buildings and ignored the differences in height. In this study, a th
An in-depth analysis of the urban road network structure plays an essential role in understanding the distribution of urban functional area. To concentrate topologically densely connected road segments, communities of urban roads provide a new perspective to study the structure of the network. In this study, based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) roads and points-of-interest (POI) data, we employ the Infoma
