Öğe Do border walls work?: security, insecurity and everyday economy in the Turkish-Syrian borderlands(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Arslan, Zerrin; Can, Sule; Wilson, Thomas M.Border walls are often seen as preferable options to improve security by providing strong barriers against the movement of people. Although these barriers are never absolute and remain porous, they are still appealing, which raises the question about who benefits when border walls are introduced. This article questions whether and for whom border walls work by focusing on the new Turkish-Syrian border wall in Hatay. Through an ethnographic investigation of border politics and the effects of increasing surveillance on residents of the border, it examines the socio-economic and political impact of the wall on local life. Second, it shows how the wall has led to a significant increase in migrant smuggling, which indicates improvements in security in one policy area may lead to a worsening situation in others. It concludes that the wall reinforces the state's claim of sovereignty but fails to be an effective security measure for border residents or refugees.Öğe Explaining the link between materialism and life satisfaction: A life course study in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Balikcioglu, Betul; Arslan, ZerrinThe relationship between materialism and life satisfaction has been widely researched, but the direction of the presumed causality is a subject of debate. Most previous studies suggest that materialism makes people unhappy, other research suggests that unhappiness may promote materialism, while some researchers suggest that they emerged relationship may be the result of third variables. Such speculations remain largely unanswered in part because previous studies have ignored the mechanisms that explain the development of these orientations. The present study uses the life course approach to explain the mechanisms that may lead to the observed relationship between materialism and life satisfaction in Turkey. Despite its cross-sectional nature, the study findings suggest that the emerged relationships between the two variables reported in previous studies may develop relatively independent of each other; and they may explain the inconsistent findings about the nature of the relationship between the two variables. The findings raise the issue of whether the two variables are causally related or whether they are causally related as strongly as it was originally thought.Öğe Leisure as Distinction in the Turkish middle class: Nursing babies, collecting a trousseau, meeting at the malls, or surfing?(Springer Singapore, 2018) Arslan, Zerrin[No abstract available]
