ERAYDIN A. Attributes and characteristics of regional resilience: defining and measuring the resilience of Turkish regions, Regional Studies. The increasing frequency of recessionary shocks and the difference in regional growth trajectories in periods of both recession and recovery have resulted in an increased interest in the notion of resilience in the recent literature. This paper, through a discussion of the impacts of recession on Turkish regions, presents an empirical exploration of the concept of regional resilience, categorizing the responses of different regions during economic cycles. A discriminant function analysis is used to explore and explain the differences between resilience categories based on the attributes of the 26 NUTS-II regions, indicating which attributes contribute most to group separation.

Suite à la fréquence accrue des chocs en période de récession et à la différence des trajectoires de la croissance régionale en période à la fois de récession et de reprise, on a prêté plus d'attention à la notion de résilience qui fait l'objet de la documentation récente. Par le canal d'une discussion de l'impact de la récession sur les régions turques, cet article présente un examen empirique de la notion de résilience régionale, catégorisant les réponses de diverses régions pendant les cycles économiques. On emploie une analyse discriminante pour examiner et expliquer les différences entre les catégories de résilience à partir des caractéristiques des 26 régions au niveau NUTS-II, ce qui indique les caractéristiques qui contribuent le plus à la séparation des groupes.

Die zunehmende Häufigkeit von Rezessionsschocks und die unterschiedlichen Verläufe des Regionalwachstums in Zeiten der Rezession und Erholung haben das Interesse am Begriff der Resilienz in der aktuellen Literatur wachsen lassen. In diesem Beitrag wird durch eine Erörterung der Auswirkungen der Rezession auf türkische Regionen eine empirische Untersuchung des Konzepts der regionalen Resilienz vorgestellt, bei der die Reaktionen der verschiedenen Regionen während der Wirtschaftszyklen in Kategorien eingeteilt werden. Mithilfe einer diskriminierenden Funktionsanalyse werden die Unterschiede zwischen den Kategorien der Resilienz anhand der Merkmale der 26 NUTS-II-Regionen untersucht und erklärt, und es wird angegeben, welche Merkmale am stärksten zur Aufteilung der Gruppen beitragen.Resilienz Anfälligkeit Anpassungsfähigkeit Rezessionsschocks ERAYDIN A.

This paper grapples with the state's response to contemporary urban movements. In light of recent debates on the changing nature of urban movements, it presents an overview of the responses of states in different modes of regulation, ranging from a Keynesian regime to sequential stages of neoliberalisation. Examples of authoritarianism and the entrepreneurial roles of the state are drawn from the Turkish experience to show how economic liberalism can be combined with increasing social control, restrictions, penalisation and exclusion. Reviewing Turkish urban policies and practice, the urban mobilisations against them, and the varying positions of the state will shed light not only on what is happening in Turkey but also on the transformative nature of neoliberalisation.

While it is quite common in studies of diversity to focus on its negative aspects, this paper specifically aims to emphasize the contribution of immigrants to the urban economic performance. By exploring different kinds of social integration, this paper discusses how immigrant groups can be important agents of urban economic growth and competitiveness by liberating creative forces and enhancing the competitiveness. Immigrant entrepreneurship is defined as the most important means of social inclusion and sustained economic performance in two different cities, with different features yet hosting considerable number of immigrants with diverse characteristics, namely Antwerp (Belgium) and Izmir (Turkey). The findings of our two case studies reveal that different kinds of diversity play an important role in urban economic performance. Immigrants contribute to the growth of different forms of production and services, not only because of their talents and skills, but also because of their social connections. Social capital enables immigrants to survive in a recipient country, and integrate into an economy as active agents. They can fill the gaps in an economy as entrepreneurs or the skilled labour, which are the most important assets for the cities aiming sustained economic growth in volatile economic conditions.
