From Metropolis to Microcosmos: The EU’s New Standards of Civilisation
While some denounce the legacies of colonialism they discern in the EU’s practices and discourse, others believe these accusations to be unfounded, raising the question: how apt is the analogy between the 19th-century standard of civilisation and the EU’s narratives and modes of actions today? In this essay, we address the question by developing a ‘new standards typology’ articulated around two axes: agency denial and hierarchy. These refer respe…
Critical junctures? Complexity and the post-colonial nation-state
Symbologies, technologies, and identities: Critical junctures theory and the multi-layered nation–state
Crisis or opportunity? Turkey, Greece and the political economy of South-East Europe in the 2010s
During the 2000s, the European Union (EU) and the euro zone provided anchors for regional integration in South-East Europe including the Western Balkans. Today’s crisis has called into question the credibility but not the desirability of that framework, and regional actors can still mobilize building blocks forged in the past decade for much needed bottom-up reforms. The process could be galvanized by a regional insider with economic and politica…

The Decentring Agenda: Europe as a post-colonial power
The aim in this contribution is to amplify the call, articulated across a range of disciplines relevant to international politics, for a paradigm shift that decentres the study and practice of Europe’s international relations. Such a perspective is necessary both to make sense of our multipolar order and to reconstitute European agency in a non-European world. The analytical categories proposed in this article for a decentring agenda – provincial…
Towards cosmopolitan citizenship? Women's rights in divided Turkey
Constructing Turkey Inc: The Discursive Anatomy of a Domestic and Foreign Policy Agenda
The article draws on speech act theory to argue that Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) wields a discursive repertoire that consists of four main narratives: a democratization, a (post-)Islamist, an Ottomanist and a Turkey Inc. story. It examines the illocutionary intent, that is, the ways in which discourses are used to co-ordinate policy and strategically project appeals to specific constituencies. It also examines the perlocut…
The adultery and headscarf debates in Turkey: Fusing “EU-niversal” and “alternative” modernities
Echoes of a Universalism Lost: Rival Representations of the Ottomans in Today's Turkey
Ottoman claims to universality – embodied in Ottoman imperialism, Ottoman Islam, and Ottoman cosmopolitanism – were undermined and ultimately shattered by the encounter with ascendant Europe. Following near-dismemberment after the First World War, Mustafa Kemal categorically rejected Ottoman universalism in favour of a non-irredentist, secularist nationalism. His brand of Turkish particularism shaped national identity and foreign policy for much …
Kemalists, Islamists, and Liberals: Shifting Patterns of Confrontation and Consensus, 2002–06
This article analyzes shifting patterns of confrontation and consensus between adherents of three Turkish political camps: Kemalists, Islamists, and liberals. It is argued that their proclivity to cooperate or clash is a function of how domestic and international forces impinge upon their respective understandings of secularism and pluralism. From 2002 to 2005, an Islamist–liberal consensus, supported by pro‐EU Kemalists, drove EU accession‐orien…
