Social polarization is constantly increasing, as the university researches show. We interviewed Pınar Akpınar, Istanbul Policy Center’s Conflict Resolution and Mediation programme expert, on how to prevent polarization and how civil societies and academicians can help. Indicating that the polarization is a global trend, she says “It is not a surprising thing. I think, as global resources and welfare levels decrease, politicians will boost polarization among the society. Because if you divide people into homogeneous groups, you can have more control over them and easily legalize one group’s domination on the others.”

Are Mediterranean Countries Lazy?

There is an idea, which I think receives pretty much attention from the public, about Greece and sometimes about other Mediterranean countries including Turkey, particularly after 2008’s global economic crisis: “Greece (or Turkey or another Mediterranean country) has bad economic conditions because people living there are lazy.” Or: “People in the countries of Northern Europe such as Germany, Netherlands or Denmark work a lot while people in Greece (and so) lay around. Then again, countries like Germany, Netherland (and so) pay for the cost of economic crisis.” High rates of unemployment in Mediterranean countries are given as evidence to prove that idea. In this article, I am going to try showing that this idea does not have any empirical proof; on the contrary, working people in countries with higher rates of unemployment like Turkey (and other Mediterranean countries) sacrifice a lot.
