“…Yazında yapılan çalışmalara göre; kadın girişimcilerin resmi ya da gayrı resmi girişimcilik faaliyetleri onları güçlenmiş hissettirmekte, bu durum ekonomik güçlendirmeyi etkilemekte ve yaşam standartlarını iyileştirmekte (Boateng, 2020;Karki and Xheneti, 2018); kadınların sosyal değişimlerine ve ilerlemelerine katkı vermekte (Haugh and Talwar, 2016), aile ve toplum önünde statü sahibi olmalarını sağlamaktadır (Khan et al, 2016). Kamudan ve siyasi alandan uzaklaştırılmış kadınların, girişimcilik destek programları yardımıyla güçlendirilmelerinin onların kamuya ve siyasi alana dâhil olmasını teşvik etmesi (Stavrevska, 2018) araştırma bulgusuyla örtüşen diğer bir bulgudur. Ayrıca kadın girişimcilerin güçlendikçe kendi sorunlarını çözmek için daha fazla iletişime geçtikleri, sosyal ağlar kurarak ve geliştirme yoluna giderek iletişimlerini güçlendirdikleri (Ahmad and Naimat, 2011;Karimi, 2018;Walter and Kautonen, 2005) alan yazında ulaşılan diğer bir önemli bulgudur.…”

In this study, it is aimed to examine how the empowerment of women has an effect on their economic, social, political and external communication-social network, as well as to reveal the effect of empowerment on the family lives of married women entrepreneurs. The data were collected between January 15 and September 15, 2019 using the survey technique. 421 participants answered the questionnaire. According to the analysis findings; women's empowerment has a significant and positive impact on their economic, social, political and external communication-social network. However, it is another important finding that the empowerment of married women in business life has a negative effect on their marriage. This finding shows that marital status is an effective factor on domestic problems. Although there are many studies on the empowerment of women in social life, the limited number of studies on women's empowerment in business life, the problems experienced by married women entrepreneurs and the inadequacy of studies examining the effect of empowerment on family life in the national literature have been the driving force behind this study.

“…As seen in the transition from many communist planned economies to market democracies after the Yugoslav wars, people in countries such as Kosovo, Macedonia or Bosnia and Herzegovina disagreed how privatisation agendas were enforced or how limited labour rights and social welfare changed their communities (Peterson 2014, Ramović 2018, Stavrevska 2021). These transitions had profound impacts on people's everyday life and the way society, work, and community have been organised and experienced (Ramović 2018, Stavrevska 2018), but also how the state or the international community are seen. That goes far beyond the material question of social-economic inequalities and legitimacy alone (Richmond 2014) but of course connects to them.…”

The economic local turn in peace and conflict studies: economic peacebuilding interventions and the everyday

This article calls for a better integration of economic and socio-economic aspects of peacemaking efforts into critical peace and conflict scholarship and can be read as a corrective to the predominance of top-down and state-centric lenses in the examination of post-war economic recovery. As of yet, academic debates surrounding peace interventions have not adequately integrated the economic with the political, in particular at the level of the everyday. Most theories in International Relations that engage with the connection between economics and politics during and after conflictas well as the original notions of liberal peaceare based on the idea that international trade and market liberalisation reduce the chances of war between states. This neglects the substate level, and does not pay attention to the quality of peace that results. Considering the shift to intra-state conflicts, this article discusses the epistemological consequences of neglecting the economic everyday in conflictaffected societies and its implications for peacemaking, for both international and domestic actors. Shifting the level of analysis to the sub-state level and using an intersectional and inter-disciplinary approach broadens our understanding of peace and peacemaking, and how different segments of the populations experience them.

“…Some studies have shown that empowering women through microfinance institutions is one of the most effective strategies. Stavrevska (2018) strengthens the role of microfinance institutions in improving family welfare and gender equality. Bansal and Singh (2020) stated that women are more developed and socially empowered after obtaining financing through microfinance.…”
