Rebel Diplomacy: Syrian Democratic Forces’ Strategies to Secure US Support
Countering counterterrorism: Defending human rights and challenging curfews in Turkey
Turkey imposed open-ended blanket curfews beginning in 2015, resulting in gross human rights violations. This article analyzes strategies employed by domestic activists to address violations. It explains what worked, what did not, and why. It argues that longstanding barriers to mass mobilization, including some that predate de-Europeanization, shaped activists’ mobilization strategies. Because of an unfavorable domestic environment, activists us…
The feminist movement during the AKP era in Turkey: Challenges and opportunities
This article explores women's rights activism in Turkey during the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) time in power (2002–present). A comparative analysis of three feminist campaigns for policy reform shows that in a context in which majority public opinion and the policy preferences of the ruling party militate against feminist policy proposals, a strong political ally (the European Union) was necessary to generate a policy change. The articl…
Local Norms Matter: Understanding National Responses to the Responsibility to Protect
Most states have embraced emerging Responsibility to Protect norm, which was adopted by UN General Assembly in 2005. R2P obliges states to prevent atrocity crimes within their own borders and not to turn a blind eye when they occur elsewhere. However, R2P's third pillar, which permits UN Security Council-authorized coercive actions, has been controversial. A few states have rejected R2P, fearing that third pillar might be misused, while others ha…
The International Criminal Court and Consolidation of the Responsibility to Protect as an International Norm
Consolidation of R2P as a robust global norm is not yet assured, because of continued disagreement among the powers as to the concept’s appropriate application, and even as to its meaning. The process of R2P norm consolidation likely will be linked to progress in the development of the International Criminal Court – another recent initiative of the international system focused on atrocity crimes, and itself also in a formative phase. Continued ex…
Cooperation Between Secular and Religious Rights Organizations in Turkey
This paper elucidates patterns of cooperation over the past three decades between some Islamic and secular organizations in Turkey's human rights movement. This paper argues the human rights master frame provided the building blocks for activists to build bridges among ideologically disparate organizations. As a result, a process of reconciliation blossomed in the mid-1990s during a tumultuous period of unprecedented opportunities and severe repr…
