Do protest bans make police repression more acceptable? Experimental evidence on the effects of legal repression from Turkey
In explaining whether protest repression incites or suppresses mobilization, research on the repression–dissent nexus has underlined the importance of how the public views protests or their repression. This literature, however, generally does not differentiate between various forms of protest repression, examining primarily police violence; nor does it account for possible interactions between these various forms of repression. In this paper, emp…
Resistance under confinement
In this paper, we examine the relationship between the process of autocratisation and protests, and argue that scholarship on electoral autocracies should not only focus on major protest cycles but also examine ‘ordinary’ protests to understand how social and political actors resist and push back against autocratisation. Using an original dataset of protest events from 2015 to 2021, we analyse the transformation of protests in Turkey as it experi…
Spatial reason of the state
Between 2007 and 2019 the Turkish regime used protest bans extensively in order to impede collective mobilization. In this paper, drawing on Michel Foucault’s discussion of raison d’état and an original dataset of protest bans, we examine these legal practices as part of the state’s repertoire of protest repression. We point to two limits against the indefinite extension of state regulation that Foucault identifies: an external limit posed by pub…
Flexible Selves in Flexible Times? Yoga and Neoliberal Subjectivities in Istanbul
This article adds to contemporary analyses of neoliberal subjectivities by focusing on middle-class yoga practitioners in Istanbul, Turkey. Drawing on in-depth interviews, it questions the dominant interpretation of yoga as a form of neoliberal governance and suggests that within the nexus of neoliberal globalisation, autocratisation and precarisation, practices that are often labeled 'lifestyle consumption' might provide individuals with the dis…
Repression without Exception
Following the coup attempt of 15 July 2016, the Turkish government declared a state of emergency that would last for two years. In this paper, we focus on an understudied aspect of this period, protest repression during the state of emergency, using an original dataset of protest bans issued in 2007–2019. Engaging with the theoretical claims of emergency scholarship, our paper demonstrates that emergency powers were used to target areas, groups, …
Mobile emergency rule in Turkey
One of the challenges of autocratizing governments in regimes with nominally democratic institutions is how to repress fundamental democratic rights while claiming to uphold the rule of law. Post-9/11 socio-legal debates point to the emergency rule as a legal framework within democratic constitutions that can be potentially used to hollow out citizens' rights. But the study of emergency rule is often limited to its enactment under extraordinary s…
Stepping into the global
This article explores the narratives of professionals from Turkey working in transnational corporations to contribute to discussions of new middle classes and global stratification focusing on emerging forms of cultural capital in the domain of the transnational business field. Analyzing respondents' narratives about their careers, it argues that as these professionals try to differentiate themselves within the neoliberal market, transnational co…
Houses on Wheels
This article contributes to discussions on the relationship between national attachments and cosmopolitanization by unpacking the meanings of national attachments and post‐national identifications in the case of transnational professionals, focusing on narratives of professionals embedded in transnational business networks in two locations; Istanbul and New York City. Using in‐depth interviews, the article argues that in the case of transnational…
