The fundamental dynamic of the social sciences lies in their ability to analyze social structures in a multidimensional manner. In the face of rapidly evolving economic, cultural, political, and technological conditions, the need for social sciences to develop more inclusive and holistic approaches through interdisciplinary collaboration has become more evident than ever before. In this context, the book titled Method, Theory, and Practice in Social Sciences, which I have edited, adopts a multidisciplinary approach shaped by contributions from researchers across various disciplines.

The chapters in this volume encompass a broad spectrum of topics, including public policy, entrepreneurship, cultural heritage, logistics, translation studies, artificial intelligence literacy, and agricultural economics. The book addresses a wide range of contemporary and original subjects, such as the implementation of IPARD programs in Türkiye, the entrepreneurial potential of Black Sea fisheries, the sustainability of archaeological heritage, and the impact of logistics performance on macroeconomic indicators. Additionally, it offers in-depth analyses of modern topics such as Bülent Ecevit’s role as a translator, complaint management in the business world, and artificial intelligence literacy.

This work aims to contribute to researchers working in various fields of the social sciences, particularly academics, graduate students, and practitioners. One of the book’s distinctive features is its effort not only to delve deeply into specific disciplines but also to bring together knowledge and perspectives from different fields, thereby offering a multilayered outlook on the social sciences. Thanks to the expertise and original contributions of our chapter authors, this study stands as a significant resource that promotes interdisciplinary interaction.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to all chapter authors whose valuable contributions enriched this work, as well as to everyone involved in the preparation process. I hope that this publication will be beneficial to the field of social sciences and to all relevant stakeholders.
