Gerard Delanty: Pandemics, Politics, and Society: Critical Perspectives on the Covid-19 Crisis
Illiberal challenges to the European Union’s legitimacy from within and without: The rule of law and refugee crises
This study revisits the academic debate on rising populism and illiberalism in Europe that reduces the EU’s crises to those involving ‘liberal EU’ and ‘illiberal regimes’ without necessarily differentiating between these regimes. Applying Suchman’s multidimensional account of legitimacy to the EU, it unpacks the varying domestic contestations of two illiberal regimes against the different components of EU legitimacy within the context of two rece…

Many Europes’ vs. secessionism: The case of Catalonia
Following the four-fold taxonomy advanced in this special issue, this study explores the divergent motivations behind the varying European attitudes towards Catalan independence and the resulting ambivalence in the official EU discourses. It will first lay out the main political context underlying the question of Catalan secession from Spain. It will then discuss the main attitudes of the EU officials towards the Catalan independence which reflec…
Towards an autonomous European defense? A comparative analysis of French, Polish and German perspectives in the post-Brexit era
This article discusses why the EU has failed to become a defense actor independent from the US in the post-Brexit era. Applying the “supporter/spoiler/shirker” trilogy to the European context, the article highlights persistent divergences towards European integration in the defense sector in the post-Brexit EU. Accordingly, first, the article discusses the key differences between supporter, spoiler and shirker roles in world politics. Second, it …
Glocal as hybridity, hegemony and reflexive engagement
This article aims to explore the complex relationship between global and local and look at ‘glocalization' from an original perspective. Following Raymond Williams' trilogy of ‘Dominant-Residual-Emergent', it redefines the elusive concept of ‘glocalization' as a ‘way of engaging' divergent social imaginaries of the Dominant/modern, the Residual/traditional and the Emergent/ postmodern ontologies. It contributes to the globalization literature by …

Theorizing many Europes: A Four-Fold Taxonomy
This article puts forward a four-fold taxonomy on European multiplicity including the radial subcategories of Thin, Thick, Global and Parochial Europes that are ideal types deriving from the complex interplays of distinct ordering dynamics, namely, territorial segmentation, functional differentiation, and stratification. The article explains their distinct characteristics in detail and discuss their differences from the existing ways of thinking …
The resilience of the US–Turkey alliance: Divergent Threat Perceptions and Worldviews
Focusing on Turkey's 68-year-old formal alliance with the US, this study asks why the alliance persists in spite of diverging perceptions of threat and worldviews. The first section of the article explains that the alliance has been transformed into a more than a threat-centric and transactional partnership over time. The second section focuses on the key issues of the US–Turkey alliance management between January 2009 and 2020 and points to a si…
Secret Agents and the Memory of Everyday Collaboration in Communist Eastern Europe; The Man with the Poison Gun. A Cold War Spy Story
As communism lost its legitimacy, history has been rewritten and collective memory has turned into a representation of communist regimes as ‘evil Others’ and the post-communist nations as the victi
Globalization
This entry is a critical introduction to the ongoing debates about the oft‐cited but elusive concept of globalization to which different meanings are attributed by different schools and disciplines that investigate the rising interconnectedness and cognitive shifts in the current era from diverse theoretical perspectives and with a great variety of methodological approaches. Apart from distinguishing globalization from globality, transnationaliza…
Global Culture: Consciousness and Connectivity
Globalization
This entry provides a critical summary of the main debates about globalization with a special focus on (1) the definitional and conceptual issues that are particularly associated with “conceptual stretching,” reductionism and dichotomous thinking; (2) the general context and theories which offer different accounts of globalization as a historical continuity and/or change; and (3) the main normative approaches to globalization that consist of such…
Autonomy, Self-determination and Agency in a Global Context
Offering a transdisciplinary study that benefits from the conceptual and theoretical contributions of sociology, political science and international relations, this article focuses on three key notions that shed light on the promise and limitations of the prevailing globalization scholarship. The proposed notions are self-determination, autonomy, and agency, which are often seen as merely antagonistic – if not a ‘prey’ or victim – to globalizati…
The Europeanisation of contested statehood: The EU in Northern Cyprus
The European Union as a ‘heuristic device’: Ritualized Europeanization in Turkey
Locating ‘World Society’ in European Studies
A sociological institutionalist approach known as ‘World Society’ led by Stanford sociologist John W. Meyer is a useful way to move beyond the state- and EU-centrism that is still prevalent in European studies. It resonates well with both the ‘sociological turn’ in European studies and the rise of constructivist critiques against rational choice accounts of European transformations. Furthermore, it helps to develop neo-institutionalist scholarshi…
Towards a (“thick”, “thin”, or “parallel”) European society? Understanding the dynamics of European multiplicity
In order to deal with the question of European society, it is useful to introduce a social-theoretical perspective that investigates the dynamics of multiplicity underlying European transformations. There are at least three co-existing routes to Europe-making that often clash with each other: “thick”, “thin”, and “parallel” Europe-making. These are in tune with definitions of Europe as an “exclusive civilizational entity”, as a “problem-solving i…

Europeanization of foreign policy and world culture: Turkey’s Cyprus policy
The re/definition of national interests is a dialectical process that involves not only internal dynamics and domestic interests but also explanatory factors transcending national level, such as the European-level and global-level stimuli. Accordingly, the study offers four alternative explanantia for Turkey’s preferences on the Cyprus question: European Union’s (EU) constraining stimuli, EU’s constitutive stimuli, global-level constraining stimu…
Ombudsmanship and Turkey's Europeanization in ‘World Society’
This article investigates Europeanization in a candidate country from a macro-sociological perspective. From the point of view of sociology, extant Europeanization studies treat culture only in a reductionist manner. In particular, ‘sender-receiver’ models overlook the domestic perceptions that translate, vernacularize or reframe exogenous conditionality. Furthermore, ‘goodness of fit’ approaches ‘bringing domestic agency back in’ misleadingly re…
