Book excerpt: This research deals exclusively with the question of why Turks still have an identity crisis after eighty years of the Kemalist modernization process. I argue that Kemalism, deeply obsessed with nationalism and secularism (Laïcité), averted many equivocal principles by originating vague definitions. Thus, Kemalism failed to construct a mutual and generally accepted identity and profoundly baffled Turkish society while it turned itself into a Kafkaesque state ideology. The research concludes that deep confusion and growing criticism of the current identity debates in Turkey are the result of the experience with the hybrid ideology of Kemalism and the emergence of a new civic Turkish identity.
Book Synopsis Identity Crisis in Turkey by : Zafer Fehmi Yörük
Download or read book Identity Crisis in Turkey written by Zafer Fehmi Yörük and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since mid 1980s, Turkish politics has been suffering from the traumatic impact of a number of challenges, primarily centered on the Kurdish and Islamic perceptions of political subjectivity. In this book, Zafer F. Yörük employs psychoanalytic and discourse analytic tools to present the contemporary polarisations in terms of a crisis of Turkish identity. This research probes through the sediments of the symptomatic scars of conventional perceptions of Turkishness to their constitutive traumas, which correspond to the moments of exclusion of a number of "Others". Yörük concludes that this genealogical insight is essential to reveal the structural causes of contemporary crisis of Turkey in the 21st Century and to meet the undeniable necessity to redesign and redefine its political identity and subjectivity.
Book Synopsis Identity Politics Inside Out by : Lisel Hintz
Download or read book Identity Politics Inside Out written by Lisel Hintz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trajectory of Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) rule offers an ideal empirical window into puzzling shifts in Turkey's domestic politics and foreign policy. The policy transformations under its leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan do not align with existing explanations based on security, economics, institutions, or identity. In Identity Politics Inside Out, Lisel Hintz teases out the complex link between identity politics and foreign policy using an in-depth study of Turkey. Rather than treating national identity as cause or consequence of a state's foreign policy, she repositions foreign policy as an arena in which contestation among competing proposals for national identity takes place. Drawing from a broad array of sources in popular culture, social media, interviews, surveys, and archives, she identifies competing visions of Turkish identity and theorizes when and how internal identity politics becomes externalized. Hintz examines the establishment of Republican Nationalism in the wake of imperial collapse and examines failed attempts made by those challenging its Western-oriented, anti-ethnic, secularist values with alternative understandings of Turkishness. She further demonstrates how the Ottoman Islamist AKP used the European Union accession process to weaken Republican Nationalist obstacles in Turkey, thereby opening up space for Islam in the domestic sphere and a foreign policy targeted at achieving leadership in the Middle East. By showing how the "inside out" spillover of national identity debates can reshape foreign policy, Identity Politics Inside Out fills a major gap in existing scholarship by closing the identity-foreign policy circle.

Book Synopsis National and State Identity in Turkey by : Toni Alaranta
Download or read book National and State Identity in Turkey written by Toni Alaranta and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National and State Identity in Turkey uses the concepts of national and state identity to examine Turkey’s domestic and international politics and explain how the country’s position in the international system has changed over the last ten years. State identity is understood as the end result of a transformed national identity, linking both domestic and international levels. Toni Alaranta argues that there has been a radical reformulation of Turkey’s national identity, interest, and positioning in the world since the Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in 2002. This transformed identity has helped the country renegotiate its status in the world. He first examines the changing nature of Turkey’s national identity before looking at the struggle between two extreme positions—secularism and Islamism. He then explains how the “New Turkey” discourse is part of an Islamic-conservative ideology that targets the notion of the “domestic other,” or minorities, versus the Turkish-Muslim “self.” This discourse is transforming not only the notion of national identity but also Turkey’s relations with the rest of the world, and particularly with the European Union.
Book Synopsis Turkey and the Politics of National Identity by : Shane Brennan
Download or read book Turkey and the Politics of National Identity written by Shane Brennan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of the twenty-first century Turkey experienced an extraordinary set of transformations. In 2001, in the midst of financial difficulties, the country was under IMF stewardship, yet it has recently emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. And on the international stage, Turkey has managed to enhance its position from being a backseat NATO member and outside candidate for EU membership to being an influential regional power, determining and developing its own individual foreign policy. Shane Brennan and Marc Herzog explore how these and other changes have shaped the way people in Turkey perceive themselves and how the country's self-image shapes its actions. In the modern age, the sovereign nation-state still continues to be one of the basic building blocks of social or political identity. The Turkish Republic, founded in 1923, is a good example. In weaving together and selecting certain elements of memory, myth, tradition and symbols, the narratives of national identity in Turkey have been, to a large extent, socially constructed.This volume offers analysis of the ways in which these narratives have been created, maintained and negotiated, and how current economic and political interests have been incorporated into the construction of a modern identity. External forces such as those of cultural and economic globalisation have also been influential agents in this process. As a result, the space and opportunity for social and cultural expression has increasingly widened while alternative identities and life-style choices at both the collective and individual levels have also become more visible. Bearing this in mind, this book examines issues such as those of alternative gender identity and sexual orientation, formerly taboo issues. Through different approaches engaging with politics, economy, society, culture and history, Turkey and the Politics of National Identity offers new perspectives on the transformation of national identity in this increasingly influential country in the Middle East.

Book Synopsis Identity, Conflict and Politics in Turkey, Iran and Pakistan by : Gilles Dorronsoro
Download or read book Identity, Conflict and Politics in Turkey, Iran and Pakistan written by Gilles Dorronsoro and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic and religious identity-markers compete with class and gender as principles shaping the organization and classification of everyday life. But how are an individual's identity-based conflicts transformed and redefined? Identity is a specific form of social capital, hence contexts where multiple identities obtain necessarily come with a hierarchy, with differences, and hence with a certain degree of hostility. The contributors to this book examine the rapid transformation of identity hierarchies affecting Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, a symptom of political fractures, social-economic transformation, and new regimes of subjectification. They focus on the state's role in organizing access to resources, with its institutions often being the main target of demands, rather than competing social groups. Such con- texts enable entrepreneurs of collective action to exploit identity differences, which in turn help them to expand the scale of their mobilization and to align local and national conflicts. The authors also examine how identity-based violence may be autonomous in certain contexts, and serve to prime collective action and transform the relations between communities.

Book Synopsis Dervish and Commander by : Kemal Öke
Download or read book Dervish and Commander written by Kemal Öke and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age of so-called Conflict of Civilisations, Turkey's endeavours in becoming a neo-liberal country, would not only liberate itself from the restrictive parameters of a national security state, which it was during the Cold War ; but it would also pose a model to the Islamic world torn with Al Qaeda terror as an exemplary edifice of how a pro-western moderately Muslim country could survive both as a secular and democratic state. This book is concerned with Turkey's identity crisis in the post-modern era. Caught between the security considerations which were dictated by the country's geo-strategic location, Turkey, since the1980s has been struggling to join the European Union as a means of integrating itself into the world of freedoms, human rights and pluralist democracy. This book adopts a thematic approach to Turkey's struggle in becoming part of Global Society.
