    (İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2011) Uchehara, Kieran
    In 2001, the African states established the African Union (AU) as a successor of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Since its establishment, the Union has made a significant effort to become an active player in promoting democracy in Africa. This represents a significant change in tempo from its predecessor, the OAU, also raises important questions as to exactly how committed the AU is in promoting democracy in Africa since the majority of its member states are autocratic/dictatorial regimes and leaders. This paper addresses the so forth question by examining a number of cases in whcih the AU has–or has not-been able to realize its goals and agenda due to the presence of such regimes and leaders within the Union.

    Economic cooperation and scholarships to African countries: the case of Turkish government scholarships for African countries
    (İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2010) Uchehara, Kieran
    It is widely accepted that economic cooperation provides an environment conducive to develop scholarly works. This paper attempts to analyse the Turkish Government scholarships being awarded to African nationals to study in Turkish Universities. The findings indicate that there is a stronger interest by Turkish Government to award scholarships to African nationals. Hence, there is a good evidence that Turkish Government scholarships program for Afrcan nationals can serve as a success model for economic cooperation between Turkey and African countries. There is no accurate measure of the exact size of the scholarships allocated by Turkish Government to African countries, since the scholarships are not open for assessment in Turkish official statistics, press release and official announcement. This article will analyze the prospect of support of the scholarships to the economic cooperation between Turkey and African countries.
