I am an Associate Professor in the department of economics at the University of Oklahoma <http://www.ou.edu/cas/econ/>(Norman, OK). I received my B.A. in management from Bogazici University (Turkey), and M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from University of Notre Dame (USA). My main fields of research include open economy macroeconomics, development economics and political economy focusing on the issues of financial globalization, trade structure, South-South trade and finance, long run development and growth, political economy of development, and comparative economic development in Turkey and the Middle East. My more recent research also explores the causes and effects of South-South trade and finance from a structuralist perspective. I have published articles in Applied Economics, Development and Change, Foreign Policy, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Development Studies, Review of Development Economics, Review of Radical Political Economics, Southern Economic Journal, and World Development, among others. I also regularly contribute to TV and radio interviews on the current Middle Eastern issues. I currently serve in the editorial board of the Review of Radical Political Economics. |
