Rise and Fall of the “Guardians of the State”? A Comparative Study of Coup Culture in Argentina, Turkey and Thailand
Defying the System: The Origins of Anti-Westernism in the Non-Western World and the Case of Iran
Anti-Western sentiment is a common feature of politics in many non-Western societies such as China, Cuba, Venezuela, Turkey, Iran and various Arab countries. Challenging the scholarly literature that depicts anti-Westernism as an “irrational, extremist and fundamentalist reaction to the cultural hegemony of the West”, this article conceptualizes anti-Westernism as a rational reaction to – and an unsurprising consequence of – the problematic polit…
Foreign Policy Making in the Age of Populism: The Uses of Anti-Westernism in Turkish Politics
Many foreign policy analysts portray leaders as “chief negotiators” responsible for delicately sustaining a balancing act between the interests of their domestic constituents and the wishes of extra-national actors (e.g. other governments, international organisations, multinational companies). This depiction may accurately explain the behaviour of decision-makers in liberal democratic societies, but foreign policy making function differently in i…
Turkey’s Relations with the Middle East
Uneven Development and Non-Western Modernities: A Historical Sociology Guide to the New Turkey
The term “New Turkey” refers to the ongoing formation of a new socio-political system by the incumbent AKP (Justice and Development Party) administration. A neglected issue within the existing literature is the study of New Turkey in the broad context of social theory beyond Turkish studies. Deterministic narratives of globalization have long presented Turkey as a “beacon of hope” in the Muslim world, a westernizing society that would supposedly …
Questioning the ‘immortal state’: The Gezi protests and the short-lived human security moment in Turkey
This article has three interrelated objectives: firstly, it challenges monolithic depictions of the 2013 Gezi protests and conceptualizes the so-called ‘Spirit of Gezi’ as a highly influential—albeit temporary—power in the politics of Turkey. Secondly, it traces the success of the HDP (Peoples’ Democratic Party) in the 7 June 2015 parliamentary election back to Gezi while acknowledging the roots of the party within the Kurdish political movement.…
In Search of a Non-Eurocentric Understanding of Modernization: Turkey as a Case of ‘Multiple Modernities’
This article uses the Turkish case of modernity to critically examine different understandings of modernization put forward by competing schools of thought, namely the ‘classical modernization theory’, the ‘neo-modernization theory’ and the ‘multiple modernities paradigm’. In the context of modernization studies, Turkey has long held a special place as numerous scholars have studied this country in an attempt to validate the ‘convergence thesis’ …
Beyond Countering Iran: A Political Economy of Azerbaijan-Israel Relations
Goksel, Oguzhan/0000-0002-4175-8921
Perceptions of the Turkish Model in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia
The most significant gap within the current discourse of Turkish model and democratization in post-revolutionary Middle East and North Africa region is that limited works have attempted to approach the concept from the perspective of local actors in the region. This study analyzes the perception of the Turkish model by using data acquired through interviews with policy-makers and influential actors in Tunisian society. It will be shown that the i…
