At the meeting, we discussed how to popularize volunteerism at Istanbul University. We talked about the various practices we would be able to bring to life, but emphasized that, whatever we did, the practices needed to be research-based. Thus emerged the research on Istanbul University students? perceptions, tendencies, and experiences of volunteerism. During the process, we added various components to this research, which then turned into the book Üniversitede Gönüllü Olmak [Volunteering in Universities]. Based on this research, the Gönüllü Akademisi [Volunteer Academy] (a 10-week program consisting of activities such as seminars, workshops, film readings, and NGO visits) and the Gönüllü Ol ?stanbul Platformu [Volunteer Istanbul Platform] (a platform aimed at established Istanbul University students for getting NGOs, projects, and campaigns seeking volunteers to meet and match up with those wanting to volunteer) were brought to life with the aim of increasing students? awareness on volunteerism. Of course, all the research and practices progressed through our student friends and all our volunteer work. From the very start, we endeavored to take care not to lose the nature of the studies done on volunteerism; we certainly don?t know how well we succeeded. More than 1,000 students participated in both the Volunteer Academy and the volunteer activities we organized. In addition, the Civil Society and Volunteerism course became a new course within the Department of Sociology as well as an important elective course in which students showed interest. This was followed by the NGO and Social Responsibility Management non-thesis master?s program that opened up within the Department of Sociology. This program is based on lectures given by experienced leading names in the NGO field. We are currently maintaining it as a program in which professionals who work in the sector, those who want to work in the NGO field, and volunteers participate. We?ve also organized panels and workshops on volunteering, NGOs, and relevant topics. We last conducted the Türkiye Gönüllük Ara?t?rmas? [Research on Volunteerism in Turkiye] for the Ministry of Youth and Sports. In this context, we as Istanbul University continue to carry out studies in the field of volunteering and NGOs, popularize volunteering among students, and share knowledge and experience as well as develop relations and cooperation in the NGO field. One of the steps in preparing this book was the Volunteering in Universities Course Curriculum Workshop we organized at Istanbul University on April 18, 2018. People such as academicians, NGO professionals, volunteers, and student club representatives attended this workshop, in which we discussed the volunteerism curriculum in universities from a participatory perspective. The ideas the participants had at this workshop have played an important role in shaping the work at hand. The workshop report has been prepared, however, we are unable to publish it. We planned the next steps regarding the idea of elective courses in universities and the materials to be prepared for these courses. With the decision the Council of Higher Education made to establish the Volunteer Studies course as an elective in universities in April 2020, however, we returned to this work we had been unable to carry out at that time due to various agendas and accelerated our book studies. The process has taken a little longer due to the attention we gave to the inclusive and comprehensive nature of this work and our desire to address various topics, but it has finally been completed and here we are. Volunteerism and Working with Volunteers has the aim of presenting readers with many of the contexts and concepts related to volunteering by addressing volunteerism through its various dimensions in our day. Because each chapter is clear on its own, the book takes into account the dimensions that make volunteerism unique. This book claims that relating to the historical and social contexts of volunteerism is possible these days only if volunteerism is addressed in all its dimensions. 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 615 7$aSociology 700 $aSenturk$b Murat$01323750 702 $aSenturk$b Murat$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619457603321 996 $aVolunteerism and Working with Volunteers$93038939 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03253oam 2200601zu 450 001 9910220114803321 005 20220831231244.0 010 $a0-8330-9142-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000443403 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001578446 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16253901 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001578446 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14838109 035 $a(PQKB)11682319 035 $a(oapen)doab115509 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000443403 100 $a20160829d2015 uh 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIdentifying and mitigating risks in security sector assistance for Africa's fragile states /$fStephen Watts 210 $cRAND Corporation$d2015 210 31$aSanta Monica, CA :$cRand Corporation$d2015 215 $a1 online resource (xx, 59 pages) $cmap 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 1 $a0-8330-8798-3 327 $aThe problem of security sector assistance in Africa -- Risks of SSA in the fragile states of Africa -- Improving U.S. security sector assistance processes to mitigate risk -- Conclusion. 330 $aThis report explores the nature of the risks inherent in U.S. security sector assistance to the fragile states of Africa and how the United States might better anticipate and mitigate these risks. It examines these issues through a review of qualitative and quantitative literature from both the academic and policy fields and through interviews conducted throughout the agencies of the U.S. government. The quantitative literature suggests a stark dilemma for those responsible for U.S. security sector assistance to the AFRICOM area of responsibility: The countries that are most in need of assistance are usually the ones least able to make positive use of it. Case studies of security sector assistance in the fragile countries in Africa are used to trace multiple specific pathways by which such assistance can have negative second- and third-order effects. Finally, the report provides numerous recommendations about ways in which the United States can improve the processes by which it monitors and evaluates, plans, and implements security sector assistance in the fragile states of Africa and more generally. 606 $aMilitary assistance, American$xRisk assessment$zAfrica 606 $aSecurity sector$zAfrica 606 $aPolitical stability$zAfrica 606 $aConflict management$zAfrica 606 $aArmies$2HILCC 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 615 0$aMilitary assistance, American$xRisk assessment 615 0$aSecurity sector 615 0$aPolitical stability 615 0$aConflict management 615 7$aArmies 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 676 $a355/.03260973 700 $aWatts$b Stephen$g(Stephen Baldwin)$01253836 712 02$aArroyo Center 712 02$aRand Corporation 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220114803321 996 $aIdentifying and mitigating risks in security sector assistance for Africa's fragile states$92907497 997 $aUNINA
