Abstract:
Nowadays the preponderant paradigm of economics is regarded as if there weren't any other 'economics' that is to say it is taken as data. This paradigm should be reviewed by following its historical development process with a critical perspective. The modulation from 'the labour-value theory' to 'the utility-value theory', which the shift of paradigm can be based on, enables such a view. Likewise while 'the labour-value theory', which has taken its final shape with Marx, interprets the capital accumula-tion process by using the concept of 'plus value' and, in this sense empha-sises that the capitalist system lives on 'class conflicts', 'the utility-value theory', which is the base of the preponderant paradigm, tries to conceal these conflicts by referring the concept of 'marginal utility'.

Abstract:
By being a country that enhanced its foreign trade volume two times between the years 1990-1999 and four times between the years of 2000-2008, Turkey has enhanced its business connection with EU countries approximately three times and this increase was in favor of volume of imports. After 2001 economic crisis, in foreign trade operations which goods for industry sector distinguish particularly, raw materials and consumer goods have been preferred. However, despite these developments, the share of EU countries in Turkeys total foreign trade has been declining proportionately. It can be said that "the zero-problem policy with neighbors" that Turkey has put into effect is likely to have a considerable role in this decline.

Abstract:
In Turkish political life, social-democratic practice has been materialized in the experience of The Republican People's Party. However the relationship between social democracy and the Republican People's Party is contradicted with the foundational principles of this Party. Social democracy is a political ideology which is based on people's demands. But the populism of the Republican People's Party aims to determine people's demands. The state holds the political which should be holded by people. The Republican People's Party's social-democratic practice that begins in 1960s has not been coherent with the line of the Socialist International. The Republican People's Party could not follow the transformation of social-democratic ideology on the one hand and it has also been failed in following the political environment of global capitalism. If the Republican People's Party insists on the foundational principles, it seems very difficult for the Republican People's Party to become a real social democratic party.
