    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Optimizing Bosnian (BH) Macroeconomic Policy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Postwar economy of BH has adopted free market economy mechanisms  while inheriting most of the policies in the area of pension system, health  care system, and market regulation from the time of centrally planned  economy, which is unsustainable. BH has also adopted EU membership as  the aim, which provides the constraint to policy making in many areas  including macroeconomics, economic system and regulation of the market  mechanisms. The additional constraints imposed on small open economy  limit the macroeconomic policy of BH in achieving the external and internal  balance. This paper analyzes present macroeconomic policy of BH using  the standard open economy framework along the lines of Dornbush  model, within the above mentioned limitations and constraints, and  provides the optimum macroeconomic policy for BH, assuming the set  objectives of economic growth, price stability and employment. We show  that macroeconomic goal of employment can be reached, within  constraints placed on BH economy, only through structural reforms that  increase labor market flexibility, policies that tackle issues of efficient use  of resources and effective mechanisms of market regulation.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Limits of the SCO: Rethinking the Enlargement  Dilemma and Implications for Turkish Foreign Policy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The question of whether the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO),  which has been seen by some scholars as the Russo-Chinese “strategic  partnership”, can manage both deepening and widening of the  organization simultaneously has been a central concern of many public  and academic debates in recent years. Since its debut, SCO proved to be a  potential platform where upon Beijing – Moscow cooperation on a wider  Central Asia was enhanced further. Although the differences in the areas  of security, foreign policy and trade orientations of the member states  impede furthering the coordinated efforts towards enlargement, the SCO  members and observers alike, share lots of ideals and are longing for a  similar future for this extremely vast region. Nevertheless, it still remains  to be seen whether the expansion of the organization would facilitate or  make it more difficult in achieving and sustaining coherent policies among  the member countries. In a time of global economic crisis and drastic  changes in its immediate neighbors linked to the Arab Spring, the question  of enlargement renders a bunch of challenges and intricate choices,  among one of which is the recent overtures made by Turkey for joining  the SCO as an alternative to the European Union (EU). This paper  discusses the development of the SCO as an organization by analyzing first  its founding principles and objectives. Secondly, the work sheds light on  the converging and divergent aspects of the country specific approaches  to the enlargement issue and thirdly, addresses the prospects of Turkish  bid for full member status at SCO.  Keywords: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Russia, China, Turkish  Foreign Policy, Arab Spring, Eurasian Security.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role of Work Hope on Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy  and Entrepreneurial Intentions: Evidence from Business  Students in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Based on Bandura’s (1977; 1982) ‘self-efficacy’ concept within socialcognitive  theory, management scholars derived ‘entrepreneurial selfefficacy’  (e.g. Boyd &amp; Vozikis, 1994; Chen, Greene &amp; Crick, 1998; De Noble,  Jung &amp; Ehrlich, 1999), which is defined as an individual’s thoughts or  beliefs of whether he or she has the abilities attributed to an  entrepreneur’s role in respect to his or her self-perceptions of their skills  (Chen, Greene &amp; Crick, 1998; Wilson, Kickul &amp; Marlino, 2007). Widely  accepted entrepreneurial skills are opportunity identification, relationship  building, managerial capacity and tolerance for working effectively under  conditions of stress, pressure, conflict, and change (Barbosa, Gerhardt &amp;  Kickul, 2007). Besides this definition, it is noted that individuals are  motivated by their self-efficacy rather than their objective ability to  achieve an important tasks as well as a chosen outcome (Bandura, 1989;  1997; Markham, Balkin &amp; Baron, 2002).  Individuals with high level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy share another  belief of possessing a viable idea for a new business (Wilson, Kickul &amp;  Marlino, 2007) on which it is expected for them to have an aspiration to  act reflecting a high level of entrepreneurial intention (Chen, Greene &amp;  Crick, 1998; De Noble, Jung &amp; Ehrlich, 1999; Krueger, Reilly &amp; Carsrud, 2000; Krueger, 2007). In other words, individuals engage in  entrepreneurship not by accident but by an entrepreneurial intention  defined as a conscious state of mind, which directs their personal  attention, experience, and behavior toward planned entrepreneurial  behavior (Krueger, 2007; Bird, 1988).  In order to understand the relationship between self-efficacy and career  choice or particularly entrepreneurial intentions, there is extant research  (e.g. Barbosa, Gerhardt &amp; Kickul, 2007; Boyd &amp; Vozikis, 1994; Kruger, 1993;  Krueger, Reilly, &amp; Carsrud, 2000; Markham, Balkin &amp; Baron, 2002; Shapero  &amp; Sokol, 1982; Wilson, Kickul &amp; Marlino, 2007). However, there is limited  application of a newly developed construct, i.e. ‘work hope’ within this  interaction.  Adapted from Snyder’s (2000) hope theory, Juntunen and Wettersten  (2006) defines work hope as “a positive motivational state that is directed  at work and work-related goals and is composed of the presence of workrelated  goals and both the agency and pathways for achieving those  goals”. Furthermore, they developed an instrument to assess work hope,  which would offer empirical information in vocational research (Juntunen  &amp; Wettersten, 2006). In respect, ‘work hope’ is assumed as a promising  variable to provide additional perspective to the understanding of  individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions.  To sum up, this study aims to investigate the role of work hope on the  relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial  intentions. The scope of the research would be students enrolled in  İstanbul University, School of Business Administration and a cross-sectional  survey is intended for data collection. In attempt to expand previous  literature, this study is expected to shed light on the moderating effect of  students’ vocational prospects on their perceived self-efficacy and  entrepreneurial intentions.  Keywords: Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, Entrepreneurial Intentions, Work  Hope.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Economic Crisis and Social Issues - The use of Islam by  French politicians]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In our paper we aim to analyze how French parties use the rhetoric of  social life problematiques during economic crisis and try to avoid direct  responsability. Among the social problematiques we will focus on  especially the issues relating to Islam as Muslims are among the most used  rhetorics while economic crisis in Europe.  According to the archives of Le Monde since the year 2000 the use of the  term Islam is much higher than the use of the word Christianity and  Judaism. The same applies to the use of the word Muslim which is higher  than Christian or Jew. We find out the similar tendencies in Le Parisien, the  journal which is mostly sold in France. Islam is mostly cited term among  the religions which is unproportional to its presence in France. This shows  that Islam overpasses purely religious aspects and includes more than  other religions when it comes to its media visibility.  French politicians use the different social problems in a critical situations.  Islam is one of these easy scapegoats that is oftenly utilized by politicians  in their difficulties. This shows that from one side Islam and Muslims are  very weak in France which are unable to defend, but from the other part, it  becomes a necessary tool for all parties to participate willingly or  unwillingly on the debate related to Islam. Our work will be based on two  steps: firstly, we focus on the main critical events related to Islam in France  and analyze the positions of the main parties. Afterwards, we observe their  approaches to Islam and compare their methods and outcomes.  We believe that, economic difficulties could be resolved, but social impacts  of the crisis may remain for the decades.
