Article How Does Macroeconomic and Socio-Political Index Affect the Real Gdp Per Qualified Worker? Evidence From Turkic Republics(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2023) Celik, Esref Ugur; Erdal, Fehmi Bugra; Kucuker, Mustafa Can; Omay, TolgaIn this study, we concentrated on the socioeconomic factors affecting the level of real GDP per qualified worker. For this purpose, we have used the macroeconomic and socio-political performance index for Turkic Republics. By using these newly established indices, determinants of the level of real GDP per qualified worker are analyzed for the first time in the literature. From the empirical investigation, we found that certain threshold levels significantly affect the real GDP level per qualified worker. Therefore, the policymakers of these countries should seriously consider these threshold levels for macroeconomic and socio-political performance index for conducting a well-organized policy for the prosperity of their countries.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Silk Road Economic Belt as China's Eurasian Dream: Common Identity or Common Fear?(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2019) Yildirim, Nilgun ElikucukThe Silk Road Economic Belt is the key component of China's Eurasian Pivot strategy. In this study, China's Eurasian Pivot is approached as a creativity strategy from the perspective of social identity theory. In order to succeed in its creativity strategy, China is trying to create a common in-group identity with the Silk Road Economic Belt countries through the Chinese Dream. However, the Chinese Dream is not perceived as a common identity by Central Asians and Uyghurs. While Central Asians respond China's economic presence in the region positively, they are afraid of demographic changes and cultural influences that Chinese migration will cause. Therefore, the Chinese Dream has been a common fear for Turkic societies along the Silk Road Economic Belt rather than common identity. This fear could be one of the most important factors that will prevent the success of China's Eurasian Pivot in the long run.
