The Affective Dynamics of Mass Protests: Midān Moments and Political Transformation in Egypt and Turkey
Deheimatize It!«
Affective citizenship
The chapter introduces the concept of affective citizenship as an innovative and promising avenue to explore and revisit the relationship between states and subjects in contemporary societies. In contrast to the bulk of research that has rather neglected the affective and emotional dimensions of citizenship, this concept departs from the rationalist paradigm that undergirds most political concepts. Instead, it centers the analysis of the governan…
Midān moments
We propose the concept of Midān moments to engage with the affective dimensions of political protest and mass mobilization. It allows for an analysis of political transformations during and after mass protests that accounts for the non-linear, multidirectional, and at times contradictory developments in the aftermath of such struggles. In contrast to much of the scholarly work in Social Movement Studies, the proposed concept combines agency, time…
The Kurds in the Turkish–Armenian Reconciliation Process: Double-Bind or Double-Blind
A century after the Armenian Genocide and its ongoing denial by the Turkish state, there has emerged a notable and unprecedented interest in the Armenian past and present both in civil society discourse and scholarship in Turkey, accompanied by various reconciliation iniatives at the state and society levels. Observers have suggested that this increased engagement with Turkey's suppressed past is an outcome of its EU candidacy, the democratizatio…
Turkish Foreign Policy in a Changing Arab World: Rise and Fall of a Regional Actor
This article analyses Turkey’s responses to the Arab uprisings in the context of its larger foreign policy transformation and regional aspirations. The AKP government seized the uprisings as an opportunity to increase its influence in the region by assigning itself a central role in the transition processes in various countries. In the process, however, Turkey faced a number of setbacks and reversals. Comparing the cases of Libya, Syria, and Egyp…
The AKP's engagement with Turkey's past crimes: "An analysis of PM Erdoğan's "Dersim apology
Kurdish Transnational Politics and Turkey's Changing Kurdish Policy: The Journey of Kurdish Broadcasting from Europe to Turkey
The bulk of scholarship on EU–Turkey relations has focused mainly on intergovermental or state–society relations, while the larger literature on enlargement and Europeanization has hardly paid any attention to the role of diasporas and immigrant communities as relevant political entrepreneurs in Europeanization processes. In this article, I examine the role and impact of the Kurdish diaspora and the transnational politics of Kurds on recent polic…
A Belated Awakening: National and International Responses to the Internal Displacement of Kurds in Turkey
Internal displacement has replaced the flows of border-crossing refugees as the major form of forced migration across the world in the past two decades. International organizations seek to have a central role in providing assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) although this phenomenon comes under the traditional realm of state sovereignty, in contrast to the refugee regime, which is part of international law. The evolving international…
