The Minority Concept in the Turkish Context

Practices and Perceptions in Turkey, Greece and France

Samim Akgönül, Strasbourg University

In The Minority Concept in the Turkish Context, Samim Akgönül presents a conceptual discussion of the term ‘minority’ from various perspectives, most notably history, sociology and political science. The concept of minority has a specific understanding in the Turkish political, sociological and legal context due to the Ottoman Millet system approach. The conceptual discussion is illustrated by three case studies: religious minorities in Turkey that are the result of the elimination policies during the Turkish nation building process, Muslim minorities in Greece as heritage of the Ottoman domination until the 20th century, and new minorities originating from Turkey and living in France as the result of the Turkish immigration of 1960′s and following decades

Üçüncüsü, özel bilgi gerektirebilecek bütün terim ve kavramlar metinlerin içinde yer alan küçük “kutu”larda açıklandı.
İktisat’tan hukuk’a, sosyoloji’den coğrafya’ya, iç politika’dan siyasal tarih’e, strateji’den ekonomi politik’e, dinler tarihi’ne kadar on dört yan dala yayılan bu kutularıyla ve anlattığı dönemlere ilişkin geniş görsel malzemesiyle bu yapıt, bir “Uluslararası İlişkiler Ansiklopedisi” niteliğinde.

Religion in the Neoliberal Age

Political Economy and Modes of Governance

Edited by François Gauthier, University of Fribourg, Switzerland and Tuomas Martikainen, University of Helsinki, Finland

• This book, together with a complementary volume ‘Religion in Consumer Society’, focuses on religion, neoliberalism and consumer society; offering an overview of an emerging field of research in the study of contemporary religion. Claiming that we are entering a new phase of state-religion relations, the editors examine how this is historically anchored in modernity but affected by neoliberalization and globalization of society and social life. Seemingly distant developments, such as marketization and commoditization of religion as well as legalization and securitization of social conflicts, are transforming historical expressions of ‘religion’ and ‘religiosity’ yet these changes are seldom if ever understood as forming a coherent, structured and systemic ensemble.

• ‘Religion in the Neoliberal Age’ includes an extensive introduction framing the research area, and linking it to existing scholarship, before looking at four key issues: 1. How changes in state structures have empowered new modes of religious activity in welfare production and the delivery of a range of state services; 2. How are religion-state relations transforming under the pressures of globalization and neoliberalism; 3. How historical churches and their administrations are undergoing change due to structural changes in society, and what new forms of religious body are emerging; 4. How have law and security become new areas for solving religious conflicts. Outlining changes in both the political-institutional and cultural spheres, the contributors offer an international overview of developments in different countries and state of the art representation of religion in the new global political economy.

Farklı Pencereler, Farklı Manzaralar:

Sosyal Bilimlerde Yöntem Tartışmaları

Der.: Pınar Uyan Semerci / Emre Erdoğan

Sosyal bilimlerde yaygın bir biçimde kullanılan “araç kutusu” metaforu, yöntemsel tercihleri birbirlerini bütünleyen ve dışlamayan araçlar olarak tanımlar. Oysa sosyal bilim öğrencileri yöntemler arasında geçişliliğin bu kadar basit olmadığını ve tercih edilen yöntemin araştırmacının hareket alanını kısıtlayan bir kafese dönüşebildiğini kolaylıkla gözlemlemektedir. 19 Mart 2012 tarihinde İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Uluslararası İlişkiler bölümü tarafından düzenlenen “Metot Atölyesi; farklı yöntemsel tercihlerin bir arada konuşulduğu ve sosyal bilim öğrencilerinin yöntemsel “ötekilerini” tanıyabilecekleri bir tartışma ortamı sağladı. “Farklı Pencereler, Farklı Manzaralar: Sosyal Bilimlerde Yöntem Tartışmaları” başlıklı bu kitap, Metot Atölyesi’nde sunulan bildirilerin tartışmaların ışığında gözden geçirilmiş halini içermektedir. Metot çalışmaları açısından kapsayıcılık iddiası taşımayan bu derleme, metoda dair sistematik olarak düşünme ve tartışmaya bir katkı sağlar ise hedefine ulaşm

 

Negotiating Political Power in Turkey

Breaking up the Party

Edited by Elise Massicard, Nicole Watts

This edited collection looks at how political parties in Turkey actually work, inside and out. Departing from traditional macro-level analyses, the book offers a new sociological approach to the study of political parties, treating them as non-unitary entities composed of many different groups and individuals who both cooperate and compete with one another.

The central proposition of the book is that parties must be studied as clusters of relationships in specific locales rather than as unitary ‘black boxes.’ This ground-up approach provides new insights into the internal workings of political parties; why parties gain and lose elections and other political resources; and the ways in which power is negotiated and exercised in Turkey and beyond.

Chapters include studies of Islamic and Islamist parties from the 1970s to the present, ethnic Kurdish parties, center- and extreme right parties, and the far left, as well as independent candidates. The authors pay particular attention to relations – and the blurry boundaries– between parties and civil society groups, religious associations, non-governmental organizations, ethnic and socio-economic groups, and state institutions, and to the variability of external and internal party politics in different geographies such as Adana, Mersin, and Diyarbakir.

 

LA VILLE, LA NATION ET L’IMMIGRÉ

Rapports entre grecs et Turcs à Bruxelles

Compétences interculturelles
IMMIGRATION, INTERCULTUREL EUROPE Belgique

 

 

Cette étude sur les relations entre les communautés grecque et turque de Bruxelles permet de mieux comprendre cette dialectique qui semble traverser la ville. Le choix de Bruxelles comme terrain n’est pas anodin : ce haut lieu du rassemblement européen est aussi un espace disputé entre Belges de traditions linguistiques et culturelles différentes. La capitale est aussi habitée par des groupes issus de l’immigration qui neutralisent ou réactivent des conflits géopolitiques autres, comme les différends gréco-turcs.

 

Spatial Conceptions of the Nation

Modernizing Geographies in Greece and Turkey

Edited by Nikiforos Diamandouros, Thalia Dragonas and Çaglar Keyder

The formation of nation-states is as much the result of developments regarding land and people, as of military and political struggle. How nationalists imagined the borders of their desired territory, and how they defined the nation have determined the nature of the struggle.Spatial Conceptions of the Nation looks at the various aspects and stages of this process in Greece and Turkey — two states where alternative principles establishing the basis for territory and population continue to compete. This book considers the intellectual and political conditions within which variously demarcated national spaces were imagined and considers the debates, social forces, and world-historical events that have affected national boundaries and conceptions of the nation.

Los movimientos islámicos transnacionales

Dentro de la colección Biblioteca de Casa Árabe se ha publicado el libro Los movimientos islámicos transnacionales y la emergencia de un "islam europeo", obra Frank Peter y Rafael Ortega, de Edicions Bellaterra (2012).

Bajo la denominación de “movimientos islámicos transnacionales” se han venido señalando una amplia y diversa gama de grupos, movimientos y tendencias que han tenido su génesis en países islámicos y musulmanes y que, a partir de los años sesenta-ochenta, han comenzado a organizarse (con sus respectivas singularidades) en Europa. Actualmente, muchos de estos grupos son percibidos desde la óptica del “terror” y, bajo el nombre de “islamistas, islamistas radicales, fundamentalistas, revivalistas, etc.”, se ha llegado a generalizar de forma desmedida.

Con esta publicación, Casa Árabe ha querido poner en contexto estos grupos, analizándolos objetivamente y sin prejuicios, contando con las aportaciones de un importante número de expertos de distintos países de Europa, norte de África, Oriente Próximo y Estados Unidos, que reflexionan sobre la presencia de los movimientos islámicos en el seno de las sociedades europeas, árabes e islámicas. Los distintos grupos analizados, estudiados en sus respectivos contextos nacionales, muestran a su vez los rasgos comunes que comparten, así como la amplia diversidad de enfoques existentes.

La obra se divide en cuatro apartados:

El primero hace un recorrido por los principales movimientos islámicos que nacieron en África y Asia en distintos momentos históricos: movimientos diversos en cuanto a sus objetivos, historia y marco social en el que se desarrollan. Por ejemplo, los Hermanos Musulmanes (movimiento que hoy dirige políticamente Egipto), Milli Gorus, la Yammat-i Islami, la Yammat al-Tabligh, la Wahabiya (Arabia Saudí y el movimiento salafí), o el movimiento islamista Marroquí y el movimiento islámico de Argelia, etc.

El segundo apartado reflexiona sobre la diversidad de estos grupos en el contexto Europeo, teniendo en cuenta los distintos países (su marco legal y social específico) en los que se desarrollan. Al igual que en el primer capítulo, se profundiza en su génesis, sus actividades y discursos. En muchos de los casos, estos grupos difieren de sus homónimos existentes en los países árabes y musulmanes.

Eltercer apartado reflexiona sobre distintos procesos de institucionalización del islam en Europa (cursos de islam, instituciones educativas representativas y/o federaciones nacionales), así como del papel que pueden o llevan a cabo distintas personalidades, representantes o líderes de las comunidades en la sociedad Europea (como es el caso de los imames, etc.).
