Müfit Akyüz, Ahmet Çakmak, Ömer Faruk Batırel, Turgay Berksoy, Oktar Türel, Nesrin Ertel Çakmak,

It is our pleasure to acknowledge that we are greatly indebted Frederick Nixson for being a bridge for
us to reach some of the leading scholars to contribute this handbook. This volume has also benefited
greatly from critical assessments made by Jomo Kwame Sundaram about the content. Savaş Çevik provided invaluable help with his constructive comments and advices for building up this volume. Mehmet
Şişman and M. Oğuz Arslan were provided useful ideas. Sevda Mutlu Akar and Güneş Yılmaz played
important roles during the review process with their analytical reviews when such reviews were needed
in a very short time periods. This volume also benefited able assistance and helping hands from many
people including Müge Yetkin Ataer, Sinan Ataer, Aykut Aydın, Burak Kozalı, Fatma Turna, Gözde Nalbant Efe, Seda Şahin, Nursel Aydıner Avşar, Coşkun Karaca, Dilek Akbaş Akdoğan, and Murat Demir.
Our special thanks go to Francisco Sercovich for accepting to write the first chapter and Jomo Kwame
Sundaram for writing the foreword for this volume. Last but not least, we wish to thank IGI Global staff
for their help in preparing this volume for publication. It is our pleasure to thank Managing Director Lindsay Johnson; Director of Intellectual Property & Contracts Jan Travers; Acquisition Editor Kayla Wolfe;
Series Editor Ahmed Driouchi; Production Editor Christina Henning; Production Specialist Deanna Jo
Zombro; the current and previous Development editors Janine Haughton, Courtney Tychinski, Brandon
Carbaugh, and Hayley Kang; Typesetter Kaitlyn Kulp; and Cover Designer Jason Mull.
Some debts go well beyond this book and extends to the families. My wife Melda Erdoğdu and my son
Turgay Erdoğdu impatiently waited for my return from the sleepless nights to normal life in the last phase
of the handbook. Throughout the whole process of preparing for and editing the chapters, they had to
put up with an obsessed man. Without their support, this work could not be completed.
