Was Lausanne a Victory or a Defeat
In 1965, Kadir Mısıroğlu published a two-volume study of the Lausanne Treaty titled: ‘Was Lausanne a victory or a crushing defeat?’ Despite being a work far from responding to the requirements of historiography, the book was a source of inspiration for the young generation of historians who aimed at reviewing the orthodoxy of Kemalist history and, simultaneously, committed to rediscovering the missed glorious past. The book was also pivotal in sh…
Negotiating Values in the Islamist Press after 2013
Turkey’s Islamist press has been influenced essentially by three contingencies: partisanship, lack of political autonomy, and lack of economic autonomy. These contingencies are reflected in the opinion pieces of Islamist columnists, five of whom are examined here in detail. To understand how their opinions are shaped, this article focuses on their interpretations of two dramatic events: the Gezi Park protests and the December 17–25 corruption sca…
A ‘Communist and Muslim’ Poet in Contemporary Turkey
When İsmet Özel published a poem announcing his conversion to Islam in the 1970s, he immediately gained the attention of conservative circles and the respect of the left (at least until the early 1990s). In a few years, with his strong critique of imperialism, capitalism and the Turkish modernisation process, he became one of the most popular Islamist authors. The 28 February Process and the emergence of a pragmatic Islamist movement, however, ab…
The New Islamists’ Understanding of Democracy in Turkey
Even though reaching a conclusive point seems impossible, debate on the relation between Islam and democracy is one of the most foundational discussions in politics today. Turkey is frequently seen as a positive example demonstrating the compatibility between Islam and democracy. Especially after the democratic reforms undertaken by the Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyıp Erdoğan and his effective governance. Erdoğan’s party, the Justice and Dev…
The Sèvres Syndrome and “ Komplo ” Theories in the Islamist and Secular Press
Through an analysis of the interpretation of three events by the secular and Islamist press, this essay shows how widespread the “Sèvres Syndrome” is in Turkey, tracing the reasons for and origins of this “siege paranoia.” The premise of the study is that the Sèvres Syndrome inevitably compromises Turkish intellectuals’ perception of reality and influences their ontological understanding of politics and world affairs. This paranoia also inevitabl…
Seyyid Bey and the Abolition of the Caliphate
One of the key events of the political genesis of the modern Middle East is the abolition of the Caliphate by the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) in 1924. This event was not the obvious cons
Ali Bulaç
Ali Bula is indeed one of the most controversial Islamists in contemporary Turkey. He is a well known writer in his country and has published more than twenty books. However, quoting his name in some Turkish academic or Islamist circles is ayip' (rude). The most common reaction when I would men tion that I was working on Ali Bula was 'You could have started your research with somebody more serious'. Nonetheless, Ali Bula is maybe the first exampl…
