    A NEO-GRAMSCIAN ANALYSIS OF THE INCOMPLETE DOHA DEVELOPMENT TRADE ROUND
    (2019) Balkan-Şahin, Sevgi
    This paper analyzes the lack of progress and the breakdown of the Doha Round talks in world tradesince 2001 from a neo-Gramscian perspective. The failure to conclude multilateral trade negotiations reflect anemerging new architecture of power politics in the world political-economic order. Major economic powers,including the United States (US), the European Union (EU), Japan and Canada as well as leading transnationalcompanies used to have a significant impact on guiding the agenda of the multilateral trade negotiations as wellas defining the outcomes. However, in the context of the WTO, emerging powers such as India, Brazil, andChina and several non-governmental organizations critical of neoliberal globalization began to confront theformer groups’ dominance. Developing and developed countries have contending views on the agenda issues,marked by confrontation on the former’s insistence for the liberalization of agricultural markets byindustrialized states and the latter’s pressure for the liberalization of non-agricultural markets. Both sidesemploy certain strategies and discourses to coerce or to persuade the opposing parties. Hence, the paper arguesthat the multilateral trade negotiations emerge as zones of exercising hegemony rather than being an area toproduce common norms, values and policies for the well-being of all members in the world trade regime.

    Acknowledgıng the flexıbılıtıes of the trıps agreement: ensurıng the rıght to access to medıcınes or a strategy of passıve revolutıon?
    (2018) Balkan-Şahin, Sevgi
    The Doha Ministerial Declaration on the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement and Public Health adopted in November 2001 clarified the right to use the TRIPS flexibilities to promote public health. Examining the hegemonic struggle of opposing social forces from a neo-Gramscian perspective, the paper attributes this outcome to the strategy of trasformismo used by market-oriented social forces to legitimize the policies of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and prevent resistance against the market-driven TRIPS Agreement. It argues that although non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Medecins Sans Frontieres, Third World Network, and Oxfam worked as a counter-hegemonic force to ensure the access of least developed countries to generic versions of patented drugs, flexibilities confirmed by the Doha Declaration can be seen more as a strategy of trasformismo to absorb counter-hegemonic ideas than the counter-hegemonic groups’ successful incorporation of the right to ensure public health into the TRIPS Agreement.

    Ontological Security with its Widening and Deepening Boundaries: An Evaluation through a Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Literature Review Lens
    (Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research, İhsan Doğramacı Peace Foundation, 2025) Balkan-Şahin, Sevgi; Çetiner, Özge
    Using rigorous bibliometric and systematic methodologies, this article comprehensively reviews academic studies on ontological security. Based on a Web of Science (WoS) retrieved dataset of 163 articles in International Relations and Political Science journals, the article has examined issues such as keywords, authorship, citation networks, and countries through bibliometric analysis. This quantitative analysis revealing the “widening” dimension of ontological security is complemented by a qualitative overview based on a systematic literature review to highlight the “deepening” dimension of ontological security. Together with an assessment of Turkish academia’s contribution to this widening and deepening literature, the article provides a map of ontological security for future studies.
