Abstract

The blue economy is a holistic development approach that seeks to balance economic growth, environmental protection, and social welfare through the sustainable use of marine and ocean resources. This study examines the relationship between the blue economy approach and the Sustainable Development Goals and evaluates Türkiye’s potential in this field through comparative country cases. The research adopts a qualitative design based on document analysis and comparative case study methods. In this context, reports of international organizations, policy documents, and academic studies were analyzed, and the experiences of Portugal, Indonesia, and the Maldives were compared in terms of blue economy strategies, institutional structures, priority sectors, and governance capacities. The findings suggest that the blue economy should not be considered merely as a growth model aimed at expanding marine-based economic activities. Rather, it represents a comprehensive development paradigm that requires ecosystem-based planning, multi-level governance, sustainable resource management, and long-term policy coordination. The comparative analysis further indicates that successful blue economy practices are supported by strong institutional capacity, cross-sectoral integration, and environmental sustainability principles. For Türkiye, sectors such as maritime transport, ports, aquaculture, coastal tourism, renewable marine energy, and marine biotechnology present significant opportunities. However, institutional fragmentation, data limitations, pressures on coastal ecosystems, and the absence of a comprehensive national strategy remain key challenges. By addressing the blue economy within an integrated governance and sustainability framework, this study contributes to the literature on sustainable maritime development.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of big data, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the conditions under which privacy and personal data protection operate. In the algorithmic age, privacy is increasingly challenged not only as an individual right but also as a structural condition of socio-technical systems. This article examines whether privacy is merely adapting to technological change or undergoing a deeper paradigmatic transformation. Focusing on Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK No. 6698) in comparison with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the study investigates the changing legal and operational foundations of personal data protection, particularly the declining centrality of explicit consent and the growing role of broader governance mechanisms. Methodologically, the article adopts a qualitative multi-method design combining comparative legal analysis, doctrinal examination, and a socio-technical case study of six smart city applications in Türkiye. The findings reveal a gap between formal regulatory alignment and substantively effective protection, especially in smart city systems characterized by ambient data collection, system interoperability, and limited user contestability. The study concludes that privacy is being restructured from an individual consent-based model toward a more systemic governance condition. Accordingly, sustainable privacy protection requires integrated legal, technical, and societal governance mechanisms.

Abstract

This study examines the influencer economy as a foundational component of the digital economy, exploring how digital marketing drives consumer behavior within platform-based markets. Utilizing a conceptual and literature-based approach, the research synthesizes recent studies across digital marketing, consumer behavior, platform economics, and digital labor. To move beyond fragmented perspectives, this study introduces the Value-Conversion Model of Influencer Markets. The analysis demonstrates that digital influence operates through a sequential progression: macro-level structural conditions (algorithmic governance, platform infrastructure, and digital labor) dictate market access; relational mechanisms (source credibility, perceived authenticity, and parasocial interaction) mediate audience persuasion; and behavioral constructs capture the final micro-level economic value (purchase intention, symbolic consumption, and brand loyalty). By explicitly linking psychological mechanisms with the political economy of platforms, the paper situates influencer marketing within broader discussions of asymmetrical value extraction and platform capitalism. Finally, the study highlights significant research gaps related to datafication, regulatory transparency, and cross-platform differences, offering a comprehensive theoretical blueprint for future empirical research and policy development.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of energy prices on economic growth through a comparative analysis of Türkiye and Russia. The analysis uses annual data covering the period 2000-2024. The primary empirical assessment employs a multiple linear regression (OLS) model, with panel data techniques used as complementary methods to analyze long-run relationships and test the robustness of the findings. Brent crude oil prices are used as a proxy for energy prices, and the GDP growth rate serves as the indicator of economic growth. Unemployment, inflation, exchange rate, trade volume, and gross capital formation are included in the model as control variables. The findings indicate that Brent oil prices have a negative and statistically significant effect on economic growth. Moreover, the adverse effects of unemployment and exchange rate fluctuations on growth are stronger, whereas gross capital formation contributes positively to economic growth. The results of the interaction model reveal that the effect of oil prices does not differ significantly between the two countries. In conclusion, the impact of energy prices on economic growth is not direct but is shaped by macroeconomic conditions and varies with country-specific structural characteristics.
