On the current internet blockage in Turkey…

http://ift.tt/2fKD9bZ

ob-nx424_turkey_g_20110515134134

A colleague summarized what happened:

Internet shutdown operations have started in Turkey as of 1.30 am on November 4, 2016. This was right at the time when Selahatttin Demirtas, the co-president of HDP (Kurdish front Party) was detained in Diyarbakir. 14 other party members have been detained by the State with allegations regarding their links to the terror organizations. First twitter, then Facebook and following that WhatsApp and Instagram was blocked. At 9.00 am in the morning, access to Skype was also prevented. All blockages have been performed through Turkish telecom networks. WhatsApp access is occasionally possible via SatelliteNet at the moment (1.20 pm, Istanbul/Turkey time) All mobile service providers do not work in compatibility with services like Telegram. OpenVpn does not provide perpetual access, either.   As of 1.22 pm, full blockage has been lifted off Twitter and Facebook, but throttling continues. Main internet service backbone in Turkey, Turkish Telecom Network (TTnet) is still shut down (November 4, 2016; 1.25 pm Istanbul/Turkey time zone).

Mapping five years of environmental policy research in European studies

Ideas on Europe

The literature on European environmental policy has rapidly expanded over the last ten years. Between 2010 and 2015, there were over seven hundred articles about the European Union and environmental policy, compared to only two hundred and fifty articles between 2000 and 2005.[1] Ironically, given its focus, much of this literature is written outside of the major European studies journals.[2]  However, it is important to study the topics and approaches that environmental policy scholars use when publishing in European studies journals because of the key role these journals play in the field.[3] Therefore, in this post I explore environmental policy articles in two of these journals: the Journal of European Public Policy (JEPP) and the Journal of Common Market Studies (JCMS).[4] JEPP and JCMS were chosen because they “play an integrating function by holding the various subfields of EU studies together”.[5]
