Women’s empowerment on a local level in Turkey
Moving from the assumption that local governments are significant stakeholders of women’s empowerment policies, this article aims to examine the struggle against violence against women (VAW) at the local level through gender-sensitive policies employed by female mayors from a gender perspective and how these can be utilized as collective transformative resources for women’s empowerment. Based on a field-study, the contention of this article is th…
Women’s rights organizations and Turkish state in the post-2011 era
In this article, we aim to explore the shift in the relationship between the state and women’s rights organizations (WROs) in Turkey in the post-2011 period, which was evinced in rising tensions between gender equality and gender complementarity discourses. We argue that, in the process of the vernacularization of global and/or international gender norms in Turkey, the conservative gender policy of the government corresponded to the endorsement o…
The Prospects and Pitfalls of the Religious Nationalist Movement in Turkey
This article examines the interplay of religion and nationalism in Turkey in the post-1990 period and discusses the prospects and pitfalls of religious nationalist movement by focusing on Gülen's Turkish Muslimhood. It is believed that the instrumental relationship between Islam and nationalism in Turkey as exemplified in the modernist religious nationalism of Gülen will help reveal that Islam has always been an indispensable element of the disco…
The Headscarf and Emancipation in the Netherlands
In this article, I draw on qualitative research on headscarf wearing among Dutch students of Turkish origin in Amsterdam. The aim was to give voice to Muslim girls and to critically revisit the emancipation discourse with regard to the headscarf issue in the Netherlands after the murder of the film director Theo van Gogh in 2004. My main argument is that the issue of the Muslim headscarf in the Dutch context – in which there is a growing tension …
The headscarf and ‘resistance identity-building’
Globalization, alternative modernities and the political economy of Turkey
This paper is an attempt to provide a political economic analysis of the changing nature of Turkish modernity since the 1980s, especially in the 1990s. Our analysis is founded upon the three years-long research (1999–2002) we have done on the question of ‘the impacts of globalization on Turkey’. The Turkish economy has collapsed on 19 February 2001, and since then it has been going through a very strong and harsh restructuring programme aiming at…
