    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Crucial Issue for the Enlargement Process of the  European Union: “Turkey”]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The probable accession of Turkey to European Union has been widely  discussed for last decade. Some thinkers believe that further enlargement  of the European Union will harm the harmony of the current structure. If  we use the realist point of view here, we can say that it is a controversial  issue to accept Turkey as a member of EU, due to the fact that each  member states seeks its benefits and agree on issues, if there is a mutual  gain. Even though there is general agreement among the member states  that Turkey is an important strategic partner and should be closely  associated with the EU, the full membership of Turkey to EU raised deep  skepticism in member states due to the perceived costs of Turkey’s  membership to EU. This skepticism prolonged the membership process of  Turkey. However, throughout the new developments and events especially  in the area of economy, Turkey came into prominence again. Yet, it is still  overwhelming to acknowledge that Turkey is ready to full membership  because there are tough problems such as unsolved Kurdish issue,  economic stability etc.  In this paper, I will utilize from two significant international relations  theories: Intergovernmentalism and Neofunctionalism. Then I will do the  single-country study and analyses Turkey’s circumstances with the  framework of these two theories. In this single country study, I will explain  the Westernization process of Turkey since 1923 and I will continue with  three perspectives which give form to perceptions of Turkey in the foreign  policy. After this, I will calculate the benefits and costs of the membership  both from EU and Turkey.  Keywords: Turkey-EU Relations, Realism, Intergovernmentalism,  Neofunctionalism, Unanimity, Supranational Institutions, EU Enlargement  Process]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an extensive concept and has been  becoming more and more important in the contemporary world. This  research study aims to highlight the significance of Corporate Social  Responsibility in Education Sector and happenings that are necessary for a  university to act as socially responsible. It also studies the students’ belief  about the social responsibility performance of their institutions and in a  broad-spectrum as well. This study deliberates the impact of Corporate  Social Responsibility on students’ commitment at university level. The  study develops and tests a conceptual framework which predicts a positive  relationship of Corporate Social Responsibility towards Perceived Service  Quality, Attitudinal Loyalty, Repeat Patronage Intentions and the  moderating role of Trust in the context of universities located in Islamabad.  At the same time the study examines the mediating relationship of  Attitudinal Loyalty between Perceived Service Quality and Repeat  Patronage Intentions.  The results generally support this relationship except for the moderating  direction of Trust between Corporate Social Responsibility and Attitudinal  Loyalty. The results also showed that Attitudinal Loyalty mediates the  relationship among Perceived Service Quality and Repeat Patronage  Intentions.  The social responsible activities of the universities were highlighted in the  study and students’ perceptions about Corporate Social Responsibility were also considered. The outcomes showed that the social responsible  behaviors of the university increases the students’ commitment and loyalty  for the university which leads to repeat behavioral intentions, by means of  creating a positive image of the university.  The universities primarily business schools were selected as the context of  the study because business schools educate and train graduates who  become future business experts and managers. Therefore the universities  need to understand the emerging concept of Corporate Social  Responsibility and make the students aware of it and realize its importance  to make them effective business leaders.  Keywords: Trust, Corporate Social Responsibility, Perceived Service  Quality, Attitudinal Loyalty, Repeat Patronage Intentions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Problems of the Turkish Political Parties and the Turgut  Ozal’s Party ANAP]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A lot of political parties were established in Turkey, so far. But a large  majority of them were dissolved or couldn’t live long-term. In this respect,  Turkish political history is the history of short-lived political parties without  CHP (Republican Populist Party). Both in Ottoman Period or Republican  Period there were no durable political party. Whereas, when we look at  United States and European Countries, we see long-lived and durable  political parties, e.g. Republican Party in U.S and Conservative Party in U.K.  etc.  In this point, Turgut Özal’s Motherland Party can be considered one of the  most excellent examples of the short-lived parties in Turkey. This party was  established in 1983 and then, it has finished its life in 20 years. What was  the reason for this finishing? İn this view, our study aims to indicate the  common problems of the Turkish political parties by analysing Motherland  Party (ANAP), for instance, weakness of institutionalism, leader-oriented  extremely, patronage system etc.  Keywords: Özal, ANAP, Turkish Political Parties, U.S Parties, European  Parties, Weak institutionalism.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Morality and Ethics of Accounting]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In our present day, even though morality and ethics are used  interchangeably in most cases, what they refer to is usually different.  Accounting morality may vary according to time and space, however, when  the ethics in accounting is mentioned, what is usually observed is whether  the methods employed by accounting to achieve its goals are righteous or  unrighteous. This rectitude is not relative but absolute righteousness. This  study aims to analyze the concept of ethics in the profession of  accountancy, how these codes of ethics are formed, and the influence of  both public administration and business circles on these codes and how  individuals currently employed in the accountancy business interpret these  codes. The implementation difficulties of codes of ethics which the  employed in the profession need to conform to for the social benefits,  welfare, and professional dignity, the measures taken by the chambers and  joint work groups, and the suggestions provided by the professionals that  will contribute to the process will be given at the end of the study.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There has been a slowdown in the accession negotiations due to the  blockage of negotiations chapters since 2006. EU affairs have lost their  past lure in Turkey. And, Turkey decided to freeze its relations with the  Presidency of the Council of the EU during the second half of 2012 and not  to attend meetings chaired by the Cyprus EU Presidency. But despite these  negative developments, the enhanced political dialogue between the EU  and Turkey has continued. In this framework, the European Union has  proposed a new positive agenda in order to enhance Turkey-EU relations  and promote reforms in Turkey. The aim of this process is to keep the  accession process of Turkey alive and bring a new momentum into Turkey-  EU relations. In addition to, the new government in France gives signals it  could reconsider its position with regard to the negotiation chapters that  had blocked in 2007.  Therefore, at present, serious efforts are needed to revive the negotiation  process with a new impetus.  Keywords: international relations, the European Union]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Correlation of Change in Fundamental Indicators and  Stock Price Movements on Sarajevo Stock Exchange]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fundamental analysis is regarded as one of the key tools in evaluating  securities by examining intrinsic value of the business, trough primarily the  analysis of its financial statements. Although in the short run, various  factors might influence investment sentiment and thus stock price  movements, in the long run fundamentals should determine stock price  performance. Sarajevo Stock Exchange is a pioneering enterprise in the  development of a capital market in Bosnian transition economy. Upon  examining stock price movements and trade volumes over its ten year  history, it is difficult to argue that high volatility in both factors can be  attributed to changes in corporate fundamentals. We can thus argue that  irrational or speculative determinants are at play; a discouraging prospect  for a developing capital market. In order to investigate the correlation  between the change in fundamental indicators and stock price  movements, ten major companies listed on the exchange were selected  using pre-defined criteria, and key fundamental indicators, as well as stock  price volatility was examined for a five year period during which Sarajevo  Stock Exchange had highest trade volumes. The results indicate that ratios  that are price-independent have volatility ten times lower than ratios that  are price-determined. Additionally, stock price analysis indicates high  standard deviation; a traditionally accepted measure of volatility and intrayear  stock price spreads often reach hundreds of percent. Furthermore,  when selected indicators are correlated with stock price movements, the  research determined that correlation coefficients are low, sometimes  negative, suggesting no linear relationship between the change in  fundamental indicators and the change in the price of the security. The  result of high-risk high-volatility market situation was a significant decline  in value of securities listed on the exchange. This decline led to a loss of  confidence of individual investors in the exchange which can be illustrated  by low trading volumes in the last few years, usually in the region of 1% to  3% of 2007 levels. The exchange thus is incapable of serving most of  functions traditionally associated with the business.
