Choosing second citizenship in troubled times
This article explores the motivations behind the applications for Portuguese citizenship by Turkish Jews since 2015. Based on a qualitative research, the findings highlight that obtaining a second passport does not yet equate emigration. Rather, it constitutes an insurance policy aimed at alleviating growing ontological insecurity, stemming partly from their secular and westernized lifestyle and from their Jewish identity, which are endangered by…
Repression and resistance – fragments of Kurdish politics in Turkey under the AKP regime
Kurdish politics in the Middle East and within the boundaries of states where Kurdish speaking populations live, is a highly complicated, multi-layered and multi-faceted issue. In this special issue, our focus is mainly on Kurdish politics in Turkey, especially in the past fifteen years under the AKP regime, which can be considered as a dynamic episode of state-formation and (de-) democratization onto itself. This introductory piece briefly revie…

Once hailed as a democratic model for the Middle East, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) has increasingly islamised Turkish society, jailed journalists, monopolised the judicial power and taken over the state apparatus. This article discusses the party’s behaviour, contending that Turkey’s prospects for democratisation are totally dependen…

When the police responded to the demonstration with brutality, the protests exploded in size and force, quickly becoming a massive statement of opposition to the Turkish regime. This book assembles a collection of field research, data, theoretical analyses, and cross-country comparisons to show…
