    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainability Dilemma of Pluralistic Social Structure in Western Democracies]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Different groups in a society have several powers to access the ruling system. One of them is  highly organized to reach governing mechanism to affect decision-making process while the  others really suffered from not being part of it. Some state mechanisms adopt very embracing  policy for minority groups of society in opposition to other states insisting on implying  majoritarian policies. Majoritanism which is a political theory based on prioritizing the will  of majority is more prone to exclude minor parts of society from involving state system. Thus  a problematic situation is given rise to emerge “other” concept known as not being a part of  majority.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ethical Foundations of the Sustainability and the Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The concept of sustainability or sustainable development emerged as a concern in early  1980’s. It was equated with the environmental issues firstly. Then, it attained economic and  social meanings as well. Nevertheless, the value of the lastly attained meaning of  sustainability, which is social, is highly neglected. Sustainable development or sustainability  is not just about ecology or natural resources. It is about the relationship between these  resources and individuals and thus sustainability encompasses all kinds of issues related to  human beings as sustainable, i.e ecological development, cannot be imagined without human  beings living in it.  In this study, sustainability will be evaluated as a value system that highlights the importance  of continuation of natural as well as cultural resources. Although the term sustainability or  sustainable development became famous in late 20th century, as a value system, its existence  may be traced back to the ancient Greece. In the writings of early political philosophers, it is  possible to find the emphasis on the importance of nature, reproduction, importance of future  generations, significance of continuation of cultures and human kind, which are the core  intentions behind the need for sustainable development and the term sustainability embraces  all of these subjects. In the context of this study, the writings of Aristotle, Kant, Mill, will be  analyzed with an aim of finding the foundations of the concept of sustainability]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Plus Value In Health Sector: Total Quality Management]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract  Total Quality Management (TKY) is a method which aims to obtain correct product and  service initially and at the beginning of the process and to repeat this process over and over,  to activate the organization as a whole, to make the organization gain the flexibility and  competitive power. Total Quality Management brings the processes appealing to all activities  under control and provides the continuation of service quality in each level. Hence, the  hospital managements as they take humans into account as their first priority are to put the  system of Total Quality Management into practice so that they can render this service as a  value. This system will enable the hospitals to have more productive, efficient and  competitive structure.  The criterion that separates health sector from the others is the fact that it is directly related to  the human life based service area. So, the health sector services are to be given utmost care  and the service quality is to be as high as possible. That the service which is in the framework  of Total Quality Management will make the hospitals institutionally successful and  competitive is an undeniable fact. The objective of the study is to lay an emphasis on the  importance of Total Quality Management for hospitals, and to create awareness, and to reveal  the implicational differences with the other sectors as well.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Globalization entails challenges, opportunities and realities. The multiplying flows of goods  and capital are grounded in the global extension of the free market and fostered by the  neoliberal doctrine of economic liberalization and rationalization. Global economic forces  limit States in their ability to independently determine economic and social policies. One of  the defining ideals of the European Union has been its social support system, often referred to  as the European welfare state. But the European welfare system is under pressure. In the  other hand, both the national public institutions’ searching for new solutions and Turkey’s  legal reform efforts on its way to European Union membership have an important role. Like  other welfare regimes, Turkey’s welfare regime displays new tendencies signaling a new  period. This article is aimed at analyzing of the recent social policy reforms and dynamics  in Turkey in the framework of the welfare state transformation.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Cox proportional hazards model assumes that independent variables remain constant  throughout the observation period. Model can give biased results in cases which this  assumption is violated. One of the methods used modelling the hazard ratio in the cases that  the proportional hazard assumption is not met is to add a time-dependent variable showing the  interaction between the predictor variable as parametric function of time. In this study, we  investigate the factors that affect the survival time of the firms and the time dependence of  these factors using Cox regression considering time depedent independent variables.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Residents’ Perceptions towards Sustainable Tourism Development: The Case of Alanya]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainable development approach is of utmost importance for the future existence of tourism  destinations. Therefore, enabling tourism development based on sustainability principles  economically, socially and environmentally is considered to be a necessity. All stakeholders of  the tourism sector have important roles in this development process. Especially, the inclusion of  residents to this process and their involvement in decision-making mechanisms represent a focal  point in sustainable tourism development. Any tourism development that does not take into  consideration the needs and expectations of residents does not have much chance for success.  There have been many studies made about residents’ perceptions and attitudes towards tourism  and tourism development in tourism literature. However, only a few studies use sustainable  development perspective in order to determine residents’ perceptions towards tourism  development. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the residents’ perceptions  towards sustainable tourism development in Alanya, an important tourism destination of Turkey  and Mediterranean region. Data gathered from 134 residents in Alanya were analyzed using  factor and correlation analysis, t-tests and ANOVA. Results presented a four-factor perceived  sustainable tourism development measurement scale: environmental sustainability; perceived  social costs; maximizing community participation; and perceived economic benefits. Findings  have shown that there is a significant correlation between perceived economic benefits and two  of the other three factors, which are environmental sustainability and maximizing community  participation. Another main finding of the study is that residents are not fully aware of nor have much knowledge about the concept of sustainability and its principles, yet they still have shown  positive attitude towards its principles.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Economic Diplomacy and Business Negotiation- managerial approach]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Economic Diplomacy explains how states conduct their external economic relations in the  21st century: how they make decisions domestically; how they negotiate internationally; and how these processes interact. Economic diplomacy in the global environment has become  essential for all countries. The contemporary world is painted with constant changes, where  the key of economic success lies in their ability to understand and a good adjustment to the  new business environment. This newly created environment is nothing more than  globalization. If we bear in mind that the global economy is characterized by high levels of  competitiveness, the question is how the economic operators of small countries, such as  Bosnia and Herzegovina, can gain market share and how they can achieve competitive  advantage. Research shows that a very important role may be played by effectiveness and  efficiency of diplomacy, or more precisely its economic component, relatively economic  diplomacy. It is a fact that highly-educated and motivated diplomacy is indispensable to every  nation which ties its economic prosperity to constant and fruitful exchange on the world  market, to the free circulation of people, goods, and capital, and to its successful economic  performance in the world. In today&#039;s world of global world economy, it is especially  necessary. Negotiation is constantly present in our lives, and according to some, it represents  one of the skills necessary for survival. Regardless if the aim of the negotiation is victory over  an opponent, compromise, or the development of good mutual international relations, a  manager must know competitive tactics to be able to achieve the best negotiation results.  Possession of negotiation skills is crucial in the interaction of the manager with the  employees, the head manager, or with stockholders outside of the company. Business  negotiation is the very essence of diplomacy, that is its basic activity. Diplomacy and  negotiation are terms which always appear together.
