The success ofour country's academic studies shown at a high degree in the lastfew years in the academic field ought to be highly acclaimed. Just before ten years, lecturers could notfind many academic journals in order to make their articles published. But today, the number and quality o f academic journals have increased considerably; therefore, academic journals have almost come to a point where they are lookingfor articles.Whereas the journals which were searched abroad were in demand before, now in our country, too, the number ofjournals being searched by international organisations is rising.

Yeni Fikir Academic Journal (International Journal ofAcademic Research and Studies-IJARES) began its academic career five years ago and has prolonged its existence up to now with the beliefin contributing to the country's academic society, completely with the selfless efforts o f the founders and advisory board. For this reason, it follows quite hard and expensive process. As o f today, Yeni Fikir Academic Journal is searched by Asos, Academic Directory and General Directorate o f Public Records. It has been applied to ULAKBIM, and their response is in progress. Besides, it will be applied to EBSCOHOST soon.

I have tried to contribute at the most during the period which I have been in as an advisor since the foundation o f the journal. On this 9th issue too, I have tried to carry it out by accepting the offer of being the editor. 12 invaluable studies have taken place totally on this 9th issue. Each academic article has been accepted that it can be published after the approval by two referees surely at least. In this process, 22 lecturers from different universities o f our country have supported us as referees. I thank you them each and would like to say that we expect their support in the coming studies, too.

On Yeni Fikir Academic Journal comments and short articles take place, too. I also state that we are expectingfor the studies o f the lecturers in the coming issues and thank you for everyone who has contributed.

An Overview Of The Arap Thought Action From Separatist Action Against The Ottomans To The Struggle Of Independence And Sovereignty Against The West

Abstract

The Turkish-Arabic alliance, union and peace have shown itself as an important support in terms of the conquests against West. Especially, the Turkish-Arabic unity which was established by Ottomans through getting Arabs under administration has facilitated and accelerated the Ottoman conquests against west. But besides the fact that the West has gotten the economic and technical superiority, the development in communication and publication means and the negative effect of nationalism, independence and democracy understanding, which has occurred in West as a result of these means, on the Ottoman administration and society structure has brought about some unwanted results. In that process the religion and customs has been primarily effective. The protection politics and propaganda of the Western countries intended for the minority groups living in Ottoman Empire has accelerated these minorities’ desire for freedom and autonomy. These politics and propagandas have been effective firstly on the Christian elements living in Ottoman Empire. Although the nationalist movements and desire for independence of the Serbians and Greeks have caused some problems for Ottomans, especially the nationalist movements and the desire of independence of Arabs have been astonishing for Ottomans. Although the Ottoman government has fought for keeping up a Turkish-Arabic unity in 19th century, as a result of the fact that Christian-Arab intellectuals which are living intensively in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt have generated, with the encouragement of West, the Arabic nationalism and separation ideas and provoked the organized separation movements the fragmentation process of Ottomans has been accelerated. The Muslim and non- Muslim separatist groups which has been deceived by the support and the promises of the Western countries have acted together and this has served the interest of the western countries. After the collapse of Ottoman State, especially the Arabs has observed that the promises were not being fulfilled and started to fight for independence and freedom under the mandate of Western countries. This has been a historic experience especially for Arabs. The works and discussions on the gains and losses of Turkish-Arabic solidarity has been continues up to this time.

Abstract

It is known that the Bozulus Turkomans which were one of the most extensive nomadic communities of the East and South-east Anatolia spread out in Anatolia from the end of the 16th century. The Bozulus Turkomans which were more populated than many towns in Anatolia and began to live in Ankara, Karaman and Aydın areas. Like the other Turkoman tribes from Bozulus, the Tabanlı tribe spotted the productive lands around Ankara for themselves. When the Tabanlı tribe began to settle in Ankara area the Ottoman administration obliged them to pay various taxes and the nomads established a social life in this way. In this work, considering the Tabanlı tribe’s obligations it is dealth with their social order, mukataas and services for the state. Nomadic Tabanlı Turkomans faced some problems when they were fulfilling their obligations. The policies of the Ottoman administration about the Turkomans and the problems the Tabanlı tribe faced in Ankara area directed nomads to thuggery. The question what was the causes leading Turkomans to thuggery is important because it is the key for understanding the other cases in Anatolia. Meanwhile, during the banditry events that made constant by the Turkomans in Anatolia some groups related to the Tabanlı Turkoman tribe migrated from Ankara to the Western Anatolia. The Ottoman administration, in one hand tried to bring back these groups, on the other hand deported the tribe members who engaged in banditry around Ankara to Rakka. In this work, the historical process the Tabanlı Turkomans got into is analyzed in the light of the Ankara court records (şeriyye sicilleri) and other archival documents.

The Venture Capital Financing Model in Turkey and The United Kingdom: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Since venture capital financing model particularly promote new ideas and new corporations, it is very precious for the developing countries. In developing countries like Turkey, unemployment rate is very high related to the developed countries. Therefore, by the usage of this financing model of which one of the most important goals is to have people start their own business, the developing countries not only increase their economic development but also decrease their high unemployment rate. The purpose of this study is to search the condition of the venture capital financing model in Turkey by comparing with the United Kingdom. For this analysis, the situations of the constraints about the venture capital in these countries are examined. In addition, by using research and development expenditures, patent applications of residents and nonresidents, number of venture capital companies and funding sources of the venture capitals, a comparison between these countries are made. At the end of the study, it can be concluded that because of the insufficient protection of minority shareholder rights, lack of the government involment to the venture capital system, shortness of the maturity of the funds, few expert consulting firms and weak opennes to the innovation, the usage of venture capital financing model in Turkey is very inadequate.
