Research:

Dr. Serdar Türkeli conducts post-doctoral policy research and development at the United Nations University-MERIT. He applies critical political economy perspectives to the policy issues related to multi-scalar governance of science, technology and innovation (STI), STI policies, emerging technologies and societal transitions. He uses multi-method analysis in order to provide critical policy options and recommendations. "Sino-European Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency", and "European Global Transition Network on Eco-Innovation, Green Economy and Sustainable Development” constitute his primary contexts. Methods include i) Econometrics, ii) Structural Equation Modeling/Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (Smart PLS, WarpPLS) , iii) Bibliometrics/Scientometrics (HistCite, CiteNetExplorer, CiteSpace), iv) Network analysis (Pajek, SocNetV, Gephi), v) Text/Content Analysis (VosViewer), vi) Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA, Tosmana), vii) Q-methodology (PQMethod), viii) Discourse Analysis, ix) Survey research and x) Qualitative research.
