Theories of Nationalism
How to Liquidate a People? Academic Freedom in Turkey and Beyond
He could not have foreseen that the simple act of signing a petition would become a life-transforming—in fact, ultimately, a ‘life-ending’—experience. For him, a young doctoral candidate at the Fac
Cosmopolitanism
Derived from the Greek kosmos and politēs , the term cosmopolitanism literally means “citizen of the world.” As an ethical outlook, cosmopolitanism asserts that all human beings have equal moral worth. The origins of cosmopolitanism are commonly traced back to Stoicism, and later to Kant and the Enlightenment. Reflecting this heritage, contemporary moral cosmopolitans argue that the individual should be the ultimate unit of moral concern, irrespe…
Transcendence of Nationalism
The future of nations and nationalism appears to many to be more uncertain than ever in view of the growing interdependence of the planet. The question of whether globalization heralds the end of nationalism cannot be answered properly without distinguishing between nation and state . In the case of the state, the question is whether states can preserve their sovereignty intact in an age when politics is conducted at a supranational and subnation…
Multiculturalism, recognition and the “Kurdish question” in Turkey
Despite the ever-growing literature on various aspects of the Kurdish question in Turkey, there are practically no normative discussions of Kurdish demands for the public recognition of their identities. This is all the more startling given the ascendancy of philosophical accounts in the literature on minority rights. This article will try to redress the balance by proposing a normative framework that could be used to justify Kurdish demands for …
Passionately internationalist
The aim of this academic obituary is to briefly consider Fred Halliday's (1946‐2010) contribution to nationalism studies.

It will then focus on Halliday's combat with the …

The nation as an artichoke? A critique of ethnosymbolist interpretations of nationalism
The aim of this article is to offer a critique of ethnosymbolism in the light of recent approaches to nations and nationalism. The article will engage with ethnosymbolist interpretations on three different levels. Since ethnosymbolists present their approach as an attempt to revise the modernist analysis from within, it will first address their critique of modernism. It will then assess the analytical contributions of ethnosymbolism, focusing in …
Reproducing the nation
Nationalism is an elusive concept, resisting all attempts at formulating an allembracing definition. Despite this Janus-faced character, however, the literature on nationalism abounds with definitions and theories designed to explain its rise. In a groundbreaking study, Michael Billig (1995) challenges the orthodox conceptions of nationalism and introduces the term `banal nationalism' to cover all those unnoticed, routine practices and ideologica…
