Revisiting the classics on secularization theory
Secularization theory's sway has waned since the end of the 20 th century, but the myth that the “founding fathers” of sociology were pioneers of this theory has survived. This article aims to demolish this myth through a comparative analysis of the works of Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim, and raises fresh questions about the concept of secularization
Secularism as a human right
Secularism is conventionally (and somewhat misleadingly) defined as the separation of state and religion. This article offers an alternative and more refined concept of secularism as a normative political principle of social peace within the context of diversity. The argument that secularism, so understood, lies at the core of a notion of human rights, contra the critique it has been receiving in recent decades as being hostile to freedoms, is as…
Debating secularism
In the classical notion of secularism, privatization of religion is an essential component of freedom and equality between citizens, so that rights are granted to individuals rather than to communities. The currently dominant objections to this notion in the literature are the multiculturalist thesis, primarily expounded by Tariq Modood, and the critique of secularism through the “genealogical” method, associated with Talal Asad and his followers…
From the Black Death to Covid-19
Capitalism was nearing the end of its life-cycle through its own dynamics when it was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, which not only threw the system into a devastating crisis but also began to generate the seeds of a possible post-capitalist order. This is reminiscent of the spread of Black Death across Europe in the fourteenth century, leading to the dissolution of feudalism and the eventual rise of capitalism. In an analytical comparison between…
Secularism as a Project of Free and Equal Citizenship
This article undertakes a defense of secularism, much maligned by postmodernists and multiculturalists. First, secularism as a normative political principle is conceptually distinguished from the discredited sociological theory of secularization and, second, it is treated as a project of free and equal citizenship. The conceptual discussion is complemented by an assessment of the Turkish case, falsely presented in the literature as a radical form…
Two Modes of (Capitalist) Globalization
Citizenship and democracy beyond the nation-state
This article surveys the evolution of the field of citizenship and democracy beyond the stages identified by T.H. Marshall, through globalization and the weakening of the welfare function of the nation-state. Globalization has led to two distinct issue areas: the rise of identity claims as part of democratic demands and the regulation of human rights by supranational institutions. This article critically examines the pros and cons of the notion o…
Are Muslims Really That Special
and integration imply a two-way process of give and take. Klausen is right when she charges the European nativists with wanting the Muslim minority to change (and when they do, Muslims do not get recognition), but refusing to change themselves. Instead, they lump the Muslim minority together under the broad cultural religious category (as Mus lims), with little attention to differences and conflicts within the category, and without re gard to the…

Using Islam as Political Ideology
Questioning the classical secularization thesis, this article addresses the use of Islam as political ideology in Turkey and attempts to identify the historical conditions under which this role has varied. More generally, assessing the internal tensions of post-colonial nationalism, the article places the recent popularity of religious politics within the context of challenges raised against the global project of modernization. The article argues…
Globalization and Political Islam
Political Islam has gained heightened visibility in recent decades in Turkey. Large numbers of female students have begun to demonstrate their commitment by wearing the banned Islamic headdress on university campuses, and influential pro-Islamist TV channels have proliferated. This paper focuses on the Welfare ( Refah ) Party as the foremost institutional representative of political Islam in Turkey
Political Islam in Turkey
The Poverty of Democracy in Turkey
The rise of Islamist political movements through open electoral competition has constituted a challenge to the political systems of numerous Middle Eastern countries in recent years and has led to a rethinking of the question of compatibility between Islam and democracy. Esposito and Voll (1996, pp. 193-94) have pointed out that while many unquestioningly believe that Islam and democracy are fundamentally opposed, “many Muslims have made advocacy…
The Eurocentrism of dependency theory and the question of ‘authenticity’
Dependency theory, which has always been regarded as the foremost ‘revolutionary’ alternative to the hegemonic ideology of Eurocentrism best expressed by modernisation theory, is equally Eurocentric and has been so from the beginning. The postmodernist perspective, where the notion of ‘development’ itself is questioned and its desirability is contested, certainly poses a greater challenge. The rise and decline of dependency theory may be interpre…

The crisis of westernization in Turkey
This article investigates the rise of the Islamist political movement in Turkey which it argues is a product of the frustration of the promises of Westernist modernization and, thus, represents a crisis of the Kemalist ideology and a critique of modernism. The Kemalist revolution transformed the Ottoman empire from an Islamic empire to a national state, and its legimitizing ideology from Islam to nationalism. Soon after the creation of the Republ…

Capitalism and the Modern Nation-State
This paper proposes an alternative to the modernization. dependency and bourgeois-revolution accounts of the creation of the Turkish Republic. It presents a theoretical framework for a materialist, but non-instrumentalist. analysis of the modern nation-state and the ideology of nationalism, and places the history of transformation from the patrimonial Ottoman Empire into the modern Turkish Republic within that theoretical framework. It argues tha…
A Postmodern Reaction to Dependent Modernization
The recent rise of Islamic Radicalism in the Middle East is generally associated with anti-Western sentiment and interpreted as a continuation of the traditional conflict between Christian and Islamic civilizations. It is thought to reflect a traditionalist opposition to the modernization process which originated in the West and then was introduced to the Islamic countries (for an example of this literature, see Youssef, 1985). But this view cann…
The State and Democracy in Underdeveloped Capitalist Formations
In liberal theory, the state is considered to be an institution that stands outside and above society. In Marxist theory the state is not an independent institution, but an apparatus for the exercise of power rooted in the class structure of society. The contrast between these views derives not so much from the point about the relationship between the state and society as from the point about the class relations in society
