Bridging the literatures on secularisation theory (sociology of religion) and state formation (comparative-historical sociology), it is the purpose of this work to contribute to “historicising the secularisation debate” by scrutinising the “sociopolitical conflicts” involved in the making of macro-level secularisation (Gorski, 2003b, 2005). The existing literature often interprets different patterns of secularisation through voluntaristic perspectives (overemphasising the ideologies/beliefs of rulers and individuals) or deterministic lenses (anticipating civilisational or modernist path dependencies). To overcome the duality, this study provides a comparative-historical approach that investigates secularisation as a non- linear, uneven, and dialectical process contingent upon the course of sociopolitical struggles and structural transformations. Differing from many other national states, why did France and Turkey converge to embrace secularism as a central principle and doctrine, based on an accentuated form of “separation” from and “regulation” of religion? What accounts for their divergence, that is, why did the “separation” aspect prove more dominant in French laïcité, whereas “regulation” came to be prominent in Turkish laiklik? Resting on a rich array of archival and bibliographical sources, my analysis proposes to explain the convergence and divergence between France and Turkey through the interaction of “extra-religious” and “religious” sets of variables. The former set takes into account geographically specific class struggles/alliances, and dynamics of internal/external sovereign state building. The latter set explores the doctrinal/institutional configuration of dominant religions, and the situation of religious minorities. Highlighting the interplay of these “extra-religious” and “religious” dynamics, the dissertation offers an analytical framework to contribute to the social scientific understanding of secularisation/desecularisation beyond the French and Turkish cases. iii The highly contentious histories of France and Turkey reveal that secularisation is not merely about the conflict of ideational visions. Secularisation is also a concrete state building strategy operationalised through a combination of “separation” and “regulation”. As part of the struggle against religiously affiliated/legitimated sociopolitical contenders, these dual strategies are utilised by bourgeois-national state builders to bring about “differentiation”, “societalisation”, and “rationalisation” (Wallis & Bruce, 1992). While the strategy of separation “differentiates” (and transfers to the state) diverse social functions previously assumed by “religious authority” (Chaves, 1994), the latter’s remaining prerogatives are placed under the regulation of “societally” and “rationally” organised secular-bureaucratic institutions. In this sense, secularisation is intimately linked to the consolidation of sovereign infrastructural power (Mann, 1984; Soifer, 2008) in “legal- institutional”, “socio-educational”, “symbolic-ideological”, and “property-distributional” spheres. France and Turkey allow for a cross-religious and cross-regional comparison to crystallise the national and extra-national social forces and mechanisms that influence the ebbs and flows in the secularising process. Keywords: Secularisation, state formation, France, Turkey, Catholicism, Islam. iv Résumé Une sociologie comparative et historique de la sécularisation : formation de l’état républicain en France (1875-1905) et en Turquie (1908-1938) Cette thèse propose un examen comparatif et historique de la sécularisation macro- sociale en France (1875-1905) et en Turquie (1908-1938), avec une attention particulière portée sur leurs expériences de formation de l’état républicain. Mettant en rapport les littératures sur la théorie de la sécularisation (sociologie de la religion) et la formation de l’état (sociologie historique comparative), l’objet de ce travail est de contribuer à « historiciser le débat de la sécularisation » en examinant les « conflits socio-politiques » engagés dans son développement (Gorski, 2003b, 2005). Les ouvrages existants en la matière interprète souvent la sécularisation d’un point de vue volontariste (soulignant les idéologies / croyances des dirigeants et des individus) ou déterministe (anticipant les sentiers civilisationnels ou modernistes). Afin de surmonter la dualité, cette étude fournit une approche comparative et historique qui étudie la sécularisation comme un processus dialectique, non-linéaire, et inégal, qui est déterminé par des luttes sociopolitiques et des transformations structurelles. À la différence de beaucoup d’autres états nationaux, pour quelles raisons est-ce que la France et la Turquie convergent à accentuer la laïcité et le laiklik comme un principe central, fondé sur une forme forte de « séparation » et de « régulation » de la religion ? Qu’est-ce qui explique leur divergence, en d’autres termes, pourquoi est-ce que la « séparation » est plus dominante dans la laïcité française, alors que la « régulation » est plus importante dans le laiklik turc ? Basée sur des sources archivistiques et bibliographiques, mon analyse propose d’expliquer la convergence et divergence de ces deux pays par l’interaction des variables « extra-religieuse » et « religieuse ». La première prend en compte des luttes de classes et la formation interne / externe de l'état souverain. La seconde explore la configuration doctrinale / institutionnelle des religions dominantes, et la situation des minorités religieuses. Soulignant l’interaction de ces variables « extra-religieuse » et « religieuse », la thèse propose un cadre analytique v pour contribuer à la compréhension scientifique de la sécularisation sociale au-delà des cas français et turc. Les histoires très controversées de la France et de la Turquie montrent que la sécularisation n’est pas seulement un conflit de visions idéelles. La sécularisation est aussi une stratégie de formation de l’état, opérationnalisé par la combinaison de la « séparation » et de la « régulation ». Dans la lutte contre les concurrents sociopolitiques religieusement affiliés et légitimés, ces deux stratégies sont utilisées par les républicains afin de mettre en place la « différenciation », « sociétalisation », et « rationalisation » (Wallis & Bruce, 1992). La stratégie de séparation « différencie » (et transfère à l'état) diverses fonctions sociales précédemment assumées par « l’autorité religieuse » (Chaves, 1994). En même temps, les anciennes prérogatives de ce dernier sont placées sous la régulation des institutions bureaucratiques-laïques qui sont organisées de façon « sociétale » et « rationnelle ». En ce sens, la sécularisation est intimement liée à la consolidation du pouvoir infrastructurel de l'état souverain (Mann, 1984; Soifer, 2008) dans les sphères « juridico-institutionnelle », « socio-éducative », « symbolique- idéologique

  • Soft Power Or Illusion of Hegemony: the Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism”
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 2361-2385 1932–8036/20130005 Soft Power or Illusion of Hegemony: The Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism” ZAFER YÖRÜK PANTELIS VATIKIOTIS Izmir University of Economics The article develops two simultaneous arguments; one is theoretical, and the other is analytic. The theoretical argument is based on an assessment of the utility of the concept of “soft power” in comparison to the Gramscian concept of hegemony in understanding the developments in the recent regional power games in the geographical area consisting of Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East. The analytic argument examines the popularity of Turkish soap operas, both among a cross-cultural audience and within the wider context of cultural, economic, and political influences, and in so doing, it points out challenges and limits for Turkey’s regional power. Introduction This article notes the recent boom in the popularity of Turkish soap operas in the Middle East, the Balkans, and some (predominantly “Turkic”) former Soviet Republics in Asia, and examines the discourse of Turkish “soft power” that has developed upon this cultural development. The research focuses here on the analysis of two case studies—of the Middle East and Greece— where the Turkish series are very popular. Both cases are able to contribute different perspectives and explanations of this “cultural penetration” across both sides of a geographical area containing Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East, evaluating Turkey’s “influence” accordingly.1 1 In this regard, the limits of the analysis of the present study are set. Although a general framework of the perception of the Turkish series is provided along both case studies (popularity; aspirations and identifications), further research is needed in order to provide a detailed account of the impact of Turkish series on the related societies.

  • The Role of Islam in the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Is Discussed in the Next Section
    MUSLIM IDENTITY, ‘NEO-ISLAM’ AND THE 1992-95 WAR IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA S. OSMANOVIC Ph.D. 2015 ABSTRACT Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Yugoslavia was entangled in a fratricidal break-up. In none of the other former Yugoslav republics did the conflict turn as violent as in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which suffered genocide, the greatest number of victims and the highest percentage of infrastructural destruction. Although its three ethnic communities – Muslims, Serbs and Croats – were previously well integrated, the break-up of Yugoslavia exposed Bosnia’s unique Islamic component, which both Serbs and Croats perceived to be the major impediment to the continuation of a pluralistic society. Islam, however, only turned into a divisive and decisive factor in the conflict when combined with ethnic nationalism. Previous research into the causes of the 1992-95 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the break-up of Yugoslavia has identified Bosnia’s long Islamic heritage and large Muslim population on the doorstep of Europe as specific features influencing both its rationale and resolution. Yet there has been no analysis of the role and impact of ‘neo-Islam’ (a term I explained below) in the conflict – an omission this thesis seeks to redress. The thesis uses historical analysis to demonstrate that Bosnia and Herzegovina was frequently subject to international intervention during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it explores whether the unique Islamic component was the reason behind this phenomenon, and seeks to comprehend why Bosnia and Herzegovina has always appeared to pose a problem for the international community, from the papal persecutions of the medieval Bogumils through to the present day.

The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

  • Nation and State Building in Nineteenth Century Bosnia and Herzegovina 1
    Ethnopolitics Papers March 2012 | No. 16 Nation and State Building in Nineteenth Century Bosnia and Herzegovina 1 An Inverted Principle Sheila Osmanovic PhD Candidate | University of East London, UK E-mail address for correspondence: sheila.gmx@ gmail.com Abstract Nineteenth century Bosnia and Herzegovina became the principal early battleground for the clash between absolute Ottoman centralisation and the local Bosnian autonomy, a status that she maintained throughout Ottoman rule and fought to preserve against Ottoman reforms. The decline of the Ottoman Empire gave rise to the various ethno-nationalisms in the Balkans, but in Bosnia and Herzegovina this process was in- verted and Bosniaks were never promoted to a separate nation. The development of Bosniak nationality and state were thwarted and forcefully curtailed by both external factors: the ‘reformed’ Ottoman–Turkish Empire and the Great Powers. In their approach towards Bosnia and Herzegovina they both maintained totalitarian and autocratic attitudes during which the inability of the Turkish rule to substitute the former Ottoman supremacy over Bosnia was settled by the Europeans – not by giving independence to Bosnia – but by drafting the negotiated agreement that placed Bosnia under Austro–Hungarian supervision. Follow- ing the break-up of Yugoslavia and 1992–5 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this mimic was reproduced in the Dayton peace agreement signed in 1995. Tight supervision and brokerage of the international commu- nity settled Bosnia as an international protectorate, continuing refusal to incorporate Bosnia and Herzego- vina in the contemporary system of nation states. 1 A previous version of this paper was presented at the EXCEPS PGR conference ‘Cultural Encounters: Researching Ethnicities, Identi- ties, and Politics in a Globalized World’, University of Exeter, UK, 21–22 May 2011.

    Reforming Categories of Science and Religion in the Late Ottoman Empire Kenan Tekin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kenan Tekin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Reforming Categories of Science and Religion in the Late Ottoman Empire Kenan Tekin This dissertation shows that ideas of science and religion are not transhistorical by presenting a longue durée study of conceptions of science and religion in the Ottoman Empire. I demonstrate that the idea of science(s) was subject to a tectonic change over the course of a few centuries, namely between the early modern and modern period. Even within a specific epoch, conception of science and religion were in no way monolithic, as evidenced by the diversity of approaches to these categories in the early modern period. To point out continuity and change in the ideas of science and religion, I study classifications of sciences in the early modern Ottoman Empire, by comparing two works; one by Yahya Nev‘î and the other by Saçaklızâde Muhammed el-Mar‘aşî. Nev‘î wrote from the context of the court in Istanbul, while Saçaklızâde represented the madrasa environment in an Anatolian province, thus providing a contrast in their orders of knowledge. In addition, the dissertation includes a study of the concept of "jihat al- waḥda" (aspect of unity) of science, as discussed by commentators from the early modern period. After first providing a textual genealogy, I argue that this concept reveals the dominant paradigm of scientific thinking during this period.

  • Turkish Soap Opera Diplomacy: a Western Projection by a Muslim Source1
    Çevik: Turkish Soap Opera Diplomacy 78 Turkish Soap Opera Diplomacy: A Western Projection by a Muslim Source1 B. Senem Çevik Ankara University Abstract The rise of Turkish soap operas as a phenomenon, particularly in the Middle East, is a fairly new development. These soap operas have become non-governmental public diplomacy tools representing Turkey globally. The shows predominantly project a Western and modern lifestyle addressing everyday hurdles. More importantly, the female protagonists are central to the storylines. This paper examines the role of soap operas as a cultural diplomacy tool within the context of identity and the social implications that are prompted by these media exports. Key words Cultural diplomacy, soap operas, identity, identification, women, Turkey. Biography B. Senem Çevik holds a B.A and M.B.A from California State University, San Bernardino, and a PhD in political communication from Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey. Cevik is an associate member of International Dialogue Initiative (IDI). She was a visiting researcher at University of Southern California (USC) Annenberg School for Communication Center for Public Diplomacy during the summer of 2013 and a Summer Institute participant. Her public diplomacy research interests are in identity, cultural, aid diplomacy, branding approaches focusing on Turkish public diplomacy through media exports, humanitarian relief and diaspora diplomacy. Cevik has been focusing on soap opera diplomacy for the last two years. She is currently working as an assistant professor at Ankara University Center for the Study and Research of Political Psychology. 1 This paper is supported in part by TUBITAK BIDEB 2219 post-doctoral research grant on the Publishedauthor‘s by SURFACE, work in 2014 public diplomacy.

Feryal Tansu ğ A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto Copyright by N. Feryal Tansu ğ 2008 ABSTRACT COMMUNAL RELATIONS IN ĐZM ĐR/SMYRNA, 1826-1864: AS SEEN THROUGH THE PRISM OF GREEK-TURKISH RELATIONS by Feryal Tansu ğ Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2008 This dissertation examines the level of social and cultural interaction between the Greek and Turkish communities of Đzmir and the impact of the centralizing Ottoman reforms on the society of Đzmir during the age of the Ottoman modernization. It focuses on the years between 1826 and 1864 that marked a turning point in the administrative history of the Ottoman Empire. Analyzing this subject requires understanding the social-cultural and economic dynamics of Đzmir that played a crucial role in the formation of the social fabric of the city. Ottoman-Turkish archival material and to some extent Greek newspapers of the time are used as primary sources. The sources discussed in this dissertation demonstrate that the central authority attempted to re- integrate Đzmir into its administrative and political structure in accordance with the centralizing or repressive Tanzimat reforms. However, Tanzimat reforms did not disturb the social cohesion of Đzmir, which the city produced over the centuries with its local character and some peculiar dynamics. The evidence also indicates that the Empire did not aim to mold social relations in Đzmir, instead benefited from city’s already existing social-cultural and economic situation, which was well suited to its modernization program.

  • Klasik Dönem Osmanlı Devleti'nde Vergi Adaleti
    Klasik Dönem Osmanlı Devleti’nde Vergi Adaleti Yılmaz YURTSEVEN* Giriş Vergi ödevi, siyasi otoritenin yönetilenler üzerine yüklediği önemli bir yü- kümlülük, bir egemenlik göstergesi olarak kabul edilegelmiştir. Adalet, devletin ve onun hükmî şahsiyetini oluşturan siyasi iktidarın meşruiyetini sağlamlaştıran en önemli zeminlerden biri, belki de birincisidir. Yönetilenlerden vergi toplama usul- leri, devletin gelişme serüveni içerisinde farklılıklar göstermiştir. Bu noktada adalet kavramı öne çıkar. Adil bir vergilendirme politikası toplumsal barışı sağlamlaştırdı- ğı gibi, kamusal yatırımları da güçlendirir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı Devleti’nin klasik dönemi olarak nitelenen, başlangıçtan XVIII. yüzyıl sonlarına kadar devam eden süreçte Osmanlı vergi politikası adalet ve meşruiyet zemininde tartışılacaktır. El- bette Osmanlı Devleti’nde vergi adaleti gibi bir kavramı incelemek bu küçük çalış- maya sığabilecek bir konu değildir. Yıllar sürecek araştırmalar, ciltler dolusu eserler yazılabilecek böyle bir konuyu bu kısa bildiriye konu etmedeki amacımız, Osmanlı vergi adaleti konusuna mütevazı bir katkı sağlamak, konu hakkında dikkate değer bir bibliyografya oluşturabilmektir. İslam hukuku temeline oturan Osmanlı hukuk sistemi kendine özgü, ancak İslam hukukunun çizdiği sınırlar içerisinde kapsamlı ve orijinal bir “Örfî hukuk” sistemi de geliştirmiştir. Şer’i vergi hukukunun yanında örfi vergi hukuku ve vergi politikaları da oluşmuştur. Şer’i hukuka ilişkin vergilendirme politikaları temel kaynaklar çerçevesinde gelişmiş, örfî vergilendirmede
