TEPAV | Throw out the old policy menu @guvsak #WorldRefugeeDay2020 tepav.org.tr/en/blog/s/6718…
Telecommuting is one of the great novelties of our lives in this age of COVID-19. It isn’t that the technology is new of course, but the manner in which we use it definitely is.
You can be at a meeting in Riyadh in the morning, participate in a debate in Berlin in the early afternoon, and be in a workshop in Washington, D.C before dinner, all the while staying at home in Ankara.
COVID-19 has changed the context of all discussions regarding the labor market integration of migrants in their hosting countries.
What is more, in the South, migration is also a developing country problem. Today, 87 percent of forced migrants are hosted by neighboring countries, which tend to be developing countries themselves.

Track change in Ankara? @guvsak link.medium.com/4d9lOY2dsbb
Turkey still has the highest risk premium at 403, indicating that a mere rate hike (which is expected) would not be enough for the country to return to its old business-friendly place.
What everyone wants to know is: is this truly the end of Mickey Mouse economics in Ankara? It is not an easy question to answer.

İhmal edilen yerlerin unutulan ahalisi, hıncını seçim sandığında alıyor

Bölgesel kalkınma gündemi Amerika'da bundan böyle eskisinden daha çok ciddiye alınacak diye düşünüyorum ben doğrusu.
Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde her şeye rağmen güçlü bir bölgesel kalkınma gündemi ve bu gündeme dayalı politika araçları var. Amerika’da yok. Şimdi Amerika’nın da bu tür gündem ve araçlara ihtiyacı olacağı yeni bir döneme gireceğiz sanırım.

TEPAV | Track change in Ankara? @guvsak tepav.org.tr/en/blog/s/6809…
“To those waiting with bated breath for that favorite media catchphrase, the 'U-turn', I have only one thing to say” Thatcher said in 1980, “you turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning!”
Yet very shortly afterwards, starting in 1981, the lady started to turn. She left her version of ideology behind and accepted the facts. Why? She knew that prime advice in politics, I presume: don’t fight facts.

Last weekend, we started to see a great shift in Ankara, suggesting that the government understood the need for sound economic policies.
It started with the appointment of a new central bank governor and a new economy minister, both old school technocrats very well known in policy circles.

Russia could be getting worried: Turkey is diversifying its energy imports @guvsak hurriyetdailynews.com/opinion/guven-… via @HDNER
In a secret meeting in 1942, then U.K Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, “The challenge of working with allies is that sometimes they develop opinions of their own and we don’t always perhaps give those opinions the respect they deserve.”
Alliances are crucial for success in foreign policy. Good alliances cannot form unless statesmen understand the concerns and possible regional problems of their allies and take the long view.

Still valid, I'm afraid...TEPAV | Unpleasant refugee arithmetic with the EU @guvsak tepav.org.tr/en/blog/s/6625…
"It means that EU financial aid per refugee jumps more than 41 times when a Syrian migrant passes the Maritsa river."..Unpleasant refugee arithmetic, I would say...
Europeans want the right to live in Europe as Europeans, among other Europeans. When push comes to shove, they take birth rights over human rights.
