Sosyal Siyaset Konferansları Dergisi ve Uluslararası Çalışma Örgütü (ILO)

Abstract

The Journal of Social Policy Conferences, which since 1948 has been published within the body of the Faculty of Economics, Labor Economics, and the Industrial Relations Department at Istanbul University, Turkey, has played an important part in the formation and maintenance of social policy tradition. With the stages, changes, and transformation that it has undergone from 1948 to the present, the journal offers an outstanding academic setting for research in the field of social policy in Turkey. In addition, 1948 is an important year in terms of the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions approved by Turkey. Turkey, which ratified only one ILO convention between the years 1932 and 1946, signed 11 conventions between the years 1946 and 1959. In this context, ILO, which is an important institution at international level in the field of labor relations and social policy, and the journal that created the first social policy corpus in Turkey, were founded in the same period. In this study, <br> ILO, which reached its 100th year in 2019, and the Journal of Social Policy Conferences, which in the same year reached its 71st year, are analyzed using qualitative research method. <br> The Journal of Social Policy Conferences is too deep to be analyzed through a single method. This is because when the origin and history of the journal is examined, it is clear that different periodizations can be made (e.g before and after 2003 according to the criterion of being a peerreviewed scientific journal; before and after 2009-2010 based on the criterion of transfer to the internet environment from the printed journal).&nbsp;
