Avrupa Fetva Ve Araştirma Konseyi̇’ni̇n Avrupa’daki̇ Müslümanlarin Gayri̇müsli̇mleri̇n Di̇ni̇ Bayramlarini Tebri̇k Etmesi̇ne İli̇şki̇n Fetvasinin Anali̇zi̇
İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında ekonomik nedenlerle İslam ülkelerinden Batı’ya göçlerin artması, Batı’daki Müslüman nüfusun büyümesine ve bu nüfusun dinî pratiklerini yerine getirirken sorunlar yaşamasına yol açmıştır. Müslümanların karşılaştığı sorunlar, bulundukları coğrafyanın ve dönemin özgün koşullarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu problemlerin çözümü için yerel şartlara uygun fıkhî yaklaşımların geliştirilmesi ve yenilikçi düşüncelerin benimsenme…

More Catholic than the Pope
Drawing extensively on declassified American, Turkish, and British archives, this study explores the Turco-Egyptian rivalry in Libya and its place in the intra-Western alliance relations in the 1950s. It shows how the Turkish government, acting ‘even more Catholic than the Pope’ in Libya, was so committed to fending off the Egyptians that it became frustrated by what it perceived as British and American apathy and appeasement toward Egyptian sway…
Cybersecurity Awareness Scale (CSAS) for Social Media Users
With the widespread adoption of social media, cybersecurity threats such as data breaches, online fraud, and identity theft have become increasingly prevalent. Despite these risks, many users remain unaware of potential security threats and fail to take adequate precautions to protect their privacy and confidentiality. This study aims to develop and validate the “Cybersecurity Awareness Scale” (CSAS) for social media users. Data was collected fro…
‘Âmmînin Mezhebi Kendisine Danıştığı Müftînin Mezhebidir’ Kaidesi Bağlamında Günümüzde Âmmînin Taklid Meselesi
Sahâbe, Tâbiîn ve Etbâu’t-Tabiîn dönemlerinde dinî meselelerin büyük çoğunluğu doğrudan kaynaklardan istinbat edilmiş değildir. Zira vahiy ve Hz. Peygamber’den tevarüs edilen ve amel edilen dinî bilgi toplumda bilini-yor ve kendisiyle amel ediliyordu. Buna göre bu dönemlerde karşılaşılan yeni meselelerde ictihad-rey devreye girmiştir. İctihadî konularda ictihad ehliyetine sahip olanlar, belli bir kişi veya ekole bağlı olmadan kendi reyleriyle ame…
When do civilians resist military coup attempts
When do ordinary civilians mobilise to resist military coup attempts? Existing literature based largely on single case studies puts forward three variables: political culture, popular support for the government, and material (economic) dependency between the government and its supporters. Finding these explanations insufficient, we first utilise existing military coup data sets and identify the universe of cases of civilian resistance (19) to mil…
Cumhuriyet’in İlk Yıllarından Günümüze Öğretmen Seçme, Yetiştirme ve Atama Uygulamaları
In this project work, since the first years of the Republic, examining the practices of teacher selection, training and assignment within periods, the studies carried out in my education system, the educational institutions opened in different periods, the changes in educational institutions over time, the education systems applied for the training of teachers, the methods applied in teacher appointment, the lack of teachers. The methods used to …
The Evolution of Turkey’s ‘South Asia Policy’
Turkey’s South Asia policy remains an underexplored area of research in Turkish foreign policy literature despite a rich history of Turkish activism in the region. While bringing to surface Turkey’s perception of South Asia, this article utilises insights from foreign policy analysis literature to make sense of international and domestic drivers behind Turkey’s South Asia policies during and after the Cold War. Using primary resources drawn from …
A Déjà Vu All over Again? Identifying and Explaining ‘Change’ in Turkey’s Asia Policy
Notwithstanding great number of studies addressing Turkey’s foreign policy after the Cold War, Turkey’s engagements in South, Southeast, and East Asia have remained submerged in narratives of Turkey’s relations with the Middle East, European Union, Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This article addresses foreign policy changes in Turkish’s Asia relations by identifying five time periods since the foundation of the Republic: 1923–1950, 1950–19…
What makes coups outside the chain of command in Turkey succeed or fail
Existing work on civil-military relations in Turkey has left the question of coup outcomes understudied. Although coups organized in line with the military chain of command are automatically assumed most likely to succeed, not all coup attempts carried out by junior/mid-ranking officers are doomed to fail. While 27 May 1960 coup by junior officers succeeded, three other coups attempted outside the chain of command in 1962, 1963, and 15 July 2016 …
American Policy and Proliferation of Media as Causes of a New Type of Coup after the Cold War? Evidence from Turkey
Several cases of coups d’état in the post-Cold War period suggest that, in some coup-prone countries, the classical way of taking over governments by armies may have given way to new coup mechanisms. However, students of military politics have yet to study in sufficient depth the nature and reasons for new type(s) of coups. Taking its cue from these cases, this article studies the deviant single case of the February 28th coup process in Turkey in…
Turkish foreign terrorist fighters and the emergence of a new kind of radicalization
This article is an attempt to answer a number of questions asked in the literature on radicalization and extremism: What motivates foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) from Turkey to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)? In what kind of environment does violent extremism become the choice for Turkish nationals to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq? How can Turkish nationals who join ISIS be profiled in terms of their socio-economic and cultural …
Unarmed’ We Intervene, Unnoticed We Remain
When a military staged an intervention during the Cold War, students of civil-military relations could quite easily tell if it was a coup d’état. This no longer seems to be the case. The reason may be the regnant understanding of coup d’état as a violent (bloody), swift, and extralegal/extra-constitutional seizure of power by first and foremost military officers or members of state apparatus after a long time of secret planning. This article take…
A Turkish Muslim Between Islamism and Turkish Nationalism
Notwithstanding his enormous influence on the grassroots of the Turkish nationalist movement in its Islamic turn in the 1970s, Seyyid Ahmet Arvasi, a staunch nationalist and a pious Muslim at the same time, has remained an understudied intellectual. His oeuvre is left largely unexplored. He is either too simply associated with Türk-İslam Sentezi [Turkish-Islamic Synthesis] or treated as if the sole outcome of his intellectual labor was his three-…
