Chairperson Message

Dear Students,

The globalization process in the area of economics and politics keeps its high speed process in a continuous way  in all around the world. The sources in the world are not distributed equally between the world countries, so some of the sources exixt in some of the  countries much more than required while in some cuntries they exist a few or none. Due to this fact  necessarily the countries are in trade relations with each other. For the improvement of the welfare of the world there is a need of applying the rules of the international trade theories in other words; the international economics theories.

The countries in the world are divided into three groups according to their wealth.These are; the developed countries, developing countries and undeveloped countries.The aim of all the countries is to move  upper class  or not to fall down from an upper class. Because of this reason; the countries are in need of good educated economists.The similar groups also take place in the societies as well.The people in a societies are diveded according to their income level as high income group of people, medium level  group of people and low income group of people.The aim of the people here is that to move to a higher income group or not to move to a lower income group. For the realization of this  aim good economics knowledge is required. Studying economics is not something only required by the economists; but, also by all the people to be able to have a life in welfare.

The economical and political developments taking place at any place of the world will definetly affect the other countries as well. For the countries to be affected at the minimum cost; the economic theories to be applied in the most dynamic way will be playing  a significant role.The main objective as the chairperson of Economics Department is to educate the students studying in economics Department as the individuals who will be well informeed about the world economics and politics and also as individuals who know the historical developments in the world economics very well. In the course program of Economics Department there are courses as compulsary and elective taking place about the economics and politics of the EU which is realizing one third of world production and trade.The students studying in Economics Department  beside economics; they also need to know very well world politics and history.This is the only way for them to be able to graduate as good economists and this will be only chance for them to find a good job in a globalizing and hence in the markets where competition is becoming top. Good knowledge in economics will make the individuals, societies and hence the world richer, so by this way people of the world will be able to live in  a world of prosperity.
