Bu çerçevede artan çabalara bir yenisini eklemek şiarıyla ortaya çıkan Türki- ye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi üçüncü sayısıyla okuyucuyla buluşuyor. Daha çok Ortadoğu coğrafyasına dair Türkiye perspektifli analizlere yer veren Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisinin öncelikli amaçları arasında Türkiye’nin bölgesel politikalardaki aktivizmine ışık tutmak, onun anlaşılmasını sağlamak ve kritiğini yapmak yer almaktadır. Özellikle Ortadoğu’ya ilişkin olarak Türk dış politikasının uygulanışı, karar verme süreçleri, enstrümanları ve Türkiye’nin bölgesel ve küresel aktörlerle ilişki- lerinin Ortadoğu bağlamında değerlendirilmesi dergimizin ilgilendiği diğer konular arasındadır. Türk dış politikası, toplum ve din ilişkileri, Türkiye’nin Ortadoğu poli- tikası gibi konu bazlı araştırma alanlarının yanında, İran, Irak, Mısır, Levant ve İsrail çalışmaları gibi ülke ve coğrafya merkezli çalışma masalarının bu- lunduğu, yerli ve yabancı 30 araştırmacıya ev sahipliği yapan Türkiye’nin bu alandaki en büyük kurumu olarak 2014 yılında Sakarya Üniversitesi’nde Ortadoğu Araştırmaları Merkezi olarak faaliyetlerine başlayan ve 2015’in Haziran ayı itibariyle Ortadoğu Enstitüsü olarak yeniden yapılanan kuru- mumuzca çıkarılan Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi yılda iki kez yayınlanmaktadır. Dergiye gönderilen makaleler önce editörler tarafından, sonrasında ise en az iki hakem tarafından değerlendirilerek yayın sürecine girmektedir. Bu sayıdaki ilk yazıda, Agah Hazır siyaset bilimi ve tarihsel sosyo- loji bağlamında Türkiye ve İran karşılaştırmaları literatürünün yaklaşım, tema ve bulgu yönünden eleştirel incelemesini yapmaktadır. Ardından Sami Eker küreselleşme süreci sonrasında dönüşüm geçiren savaş olgu- sunu güncel örnek teşkil eden Suriye krizi üzerinden analiz etmektedir. Ali Balcı çalışmasında AK Parti ve TSK arasında Kuzey Irak üzerinden yaşanan gerilimi analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. İsmail Sarı makalesinde İran’da Şiî teolojiden İslâmcı ideolojiye geçiş sürecini ve İran’ın düşünsel sekülerleşmesini çözümlemektedir. Son olarak Eldar Hasanov da çalışma- VII sında Nuhi kimliği bağlamında Yahudilikte yabancı algısının arkeolojisini incelemektedir. Makalelerin dışında bu sayımızda üç adet kitap analizi de yer almaktadır. Ortadoğu’ya dair orijinal analizlere ihtiyacın giderek daha fazla hisse- dildiği şu günlerde bu ve benzeri çabalar hem Türk bilim dünyası hem de Türk dış politikasını yönlendirenler için önemli bir kazanım olacaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Türkçe ve İngilizce araştırmalara yer veren Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi, sosyal bilimlerin ilgili alanlarında Ortado- ğu’ya dair konuların Türkiye perspektifiyle farklı disiplinler aracılığıyla incelendiği tüm yazılara açıktır.

Date lQ,9 ...... ... .................... ABSTRACT The thesis asks a central question: what is the nature of the relationship between state security and domestic politics in contemporary Turkey? It aims to show that although the pendulum of Turkish politics has swung back and forth between democratic elections and military interventions, in the last decade a new set of historically conditioned discourses and practices of state security have fused the political and military realms to produce a peculiar regime which I call security govemmentality. Understanding the traits of Turkish security governmentality is the task of the thesis. It adopts a genealogical approach. The subject-matter analyzes both the historical-political conditions within which security governmentality emerged as a dominant practice of rule and the prospects of its dissolution. Indeed, the dissolution of security governmentality gained an air of expectancy particularly after 1999 when Turkey was granted an 'official candidacy' and started to adapt the EU democratic membership conditionality.

The Turkish Model, the Double-Security Dilemma, and the Political Reproduction of State Polities in the Middle East Victoria Dimitri ARAJ Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Management, Law and Social Sciences University of Bradford 2018 Abstract Victoria Dimitri Araj The Turkish Model, the Double-Security Dilemma, and the Political Reproduction of State Polities in the Middle East Keywords: alliance-building, Turkish foreign policy, Islamic neoliberalism, Justice and Development Party, Turkish domestic politics Conceptually the aims of this thesis are to show the salient features of the political reproduction of states as a necessity for their survival as they continually face a double-security dilemma in the neoliberal era. Empirically this thesis examines Turkey’s ruling party from 2002 to 2015. The Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) maintained authority by mitigating the polities and actors that posed vertical and horizontal competition to their power (the double-security dilemma of domestic and international threats faced by state rulers). To outcompete and absorb its rivals, the AKP maintained a post-Islamist alliance-building model of political reproduction through a globalized Islamic neoliberal authority pattern until 2011. This became popularized as the ‘Turkish Model’, a model of political reproduction framed as suitable for other Muslim-majority states. The findings from data analysis show that to maintain the constitutive sovereignty of the Turkish state, the AKP built a post-Islamist hegemony.

  • Militarism, Democracy, and Concordance: the Role of Citizenry in (Re)
    Militarism, Democracy, and Concordance: The Role of Citizenry in (Re)- Establishing Democratic Order in Argentina and Turkey A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Sociology Of the College of Arts and Sciences by Adem Üstün ÇATALBAŞ M.A. Selcuk University August 2012 Committee Chair: Steven Carlton-Ford, Ph.D. Abstract The role of the citizenry is often neglected in the literature about democratization but there is a growing scholarly attention – across the globe -- to the role of the citizenry in democratic development. This dissertation focuses on the democratic development in Argentinean and Turkish contexts with a specific emphasis on the role of citizenry in each case. Argentina and Turkey are two different social contexts – historically, regionally, culturally, etc. Yet, their political progress and civil-military relations show similarities. National militaries in each country have interrupted democratic order several times. This study examines the democratization efforts in each country after military rule. The research question -- ‘what defines the quality of a democracy during and after the period of transition of power from a military rule to a democratic one?’ -- is designed to comprehend both militarization and democratization contexts from a comparative historical sociological perspective. The comparative historical sociological methodology of the study not only focuses on comparing two countries but also considers the comparison of past and present transformations of civil-military relations and democratic order in each country. The study concludes that the quality of a democracy depends on how successful three actors – namely citizenry, military, and political elites – are in establishing concordance on the quality of the democratic regime.

  • Comparing Turkey and Iran in Political Science and Historical Sociology: a Critical Review Agah Hazır*
    TURKISH JOURNAL OF MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi Vol: 2, No: 1, 2015, ss.1-30 Comparing Turkey and Iran in Political Science and Historical Sociology: A Critical Review Agah Hazır* Abstract This article reviews existing comparative literature on Iran and Turkey in terms of their approaches, themes and findings. It extracts and critically analyses two dominant trends in this literature; Comparative Analyses of Cultures and Comparative Analyses of Modernizations. This paper argues that, these two common lines of approaching have serious limitations since they carry the traces of orientalist and ethnocentric assumptions. New literature on this topic however, offers new avenues of research, enabling the debate to avoid the above mentioned pitfalls. As a conclusion, this critical review points to certain dynamics to consider (over-politicization of the Iran-Turkey comparisons and the impact of international developments) in order to facilitate stronger comparative frameworks.

    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Jenzen & Korkut (eds) Jenzen McGarry, Erhart, Eslen-Ziya, The Aesthetics of Global Protest Edited by Aidan McGarry, Itir Erhart, Hande Eslen-Ziya, Olu Jenzen, and Umut Korkut The Aesthetics of Global Protest Visual Culture and Communication The Aesthetics of Global Protest Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Antik Yunan’da temeli atılan ve Roma medeniyetinde devam eden cumhuriyetçilik teorisi 20.yy’da neo-Atina ve neo-Roma düşünceleriyle birçok çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Özgürlük, egemenlik, ortak çıkar, rıza üretimi, siyasi katılım üzerinden değerlendirilen Cumhuriyetçilik zaman içinde ahlaki boyuttan ideolojik boyuta geçmiş, en sonunda bir rejim biçimi olarak siyaset biliminde yer almıştır. Atina ve Roma Cumhuriyetçiliklerinin aralarında farklar olmasına rağmen her ikisinde de yurttaş katılımı, ortak çıkar ve ege- menlik hakkının kullanımı bakımından yurttaş egemenliğinin niteliği vurgulanmıştır. Türkiye siyasi tarihinde de bir rejim biçimi olarak Cumhuriyet 1923’te gündeme gelmiş, üç noktanın üzerinde teorik olarak durulmuş, fakat bunların tamamlanması zaman almıştır. Bu makalede bu üç nokta ekseninde 1920-1930 arasında Türkiye’deki Cumhu- riyetçilik teorisi tarihsel kesitte incelenecektir.

    21:510:361 RUTGERS-NEWARK FALL 2016 INSTRUCTOR: Reza Mortaheb ([email protected]) History of Modern Middle East Class Meetings: Wed 11:30 AM-12:50 PM & Fri 11:30 AM-12:50 PM in Engelhard Hall 209 Course Overview: The interconnecting regions stretching from Northwest Africa to Southwest Asia and the Iranian Plateau, currently known as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), have historically been the breeding ground for the world's greatest civilizations, thanks largely to the geographical positioning at an international crossroads where Mediterranean, Atlantic, African, European, and Asian histories met and commingled. With its porous and ever-shifting boundaries MENA has also acted, over the centuries, as an important conduit between and among adjacent communities, cultures, societies, and states. As such, since 1800 in tandem with the rest of the world and in response to both external and internal forces MENA underwent transformations in political, economic, social, and cultural realms — a series of processes which may collectively be called modernity. This course surveys the various ways in which modernity arose, and was encountered, at different levels across MENA in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As lived in daily life, embodied in the form of reforming policies, new state apparatuses and institutions, or even experienced as a set of worldviews, modernity assumed many guises ranging from new modes of knowledge production, communications and transportation, city planning and governance, to novel forms of entertainment and consumption patterns, and above all in ways of thinking about the natural world, the state, and religion as well as normative gender roles.

  • The Tehran Crowd and the Rise of Riza Khan, 1921–1925
    IRSH 50 (2005), pp. 167–201 DOI: 10.1017/S002085900500194X # 2005 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Popular Protest, Disorder, and Riot in Iran: The Tehran Crowd and the Rise of Riza Khan, 1921–1925Ã Stephanie Cronin Summary: This article looks at the continuing political vitality of the urban crowd in early Pahlavi Iran and the role it played in the crises which wracked Tehran in the first half of the 1920s, examining, as far as possible, the ways in which crowds were mobilized, their composition, leaderships, and objectives. In particular it analyses Riza Khan’s own adoption of populist tactics in his struggle with the Qajar dynasty in 1924–1925, and his regime’s attempts to manipulate the Tehran crowd in an effort to overcome opposition, both elite and popular, and to intimidate formal democratic institutions such as the Majlis (parliament) and the independent press. In attempting to rescue the Tehran crowd from obscurity, or from condemnation as a fanatical and blindly reactionary mob, this article hopes to rectify the imbalance in much older scholarship which views early Pahlavi Iran solely through the prism of its state-building effort, and to introduce into the study of Iranian history some of the perspectives of ‘‘history from below’’. INTRODUCTION Early Pahlavi Iran has conventionally been seen through the prism of its state-building effort, the interwar decades characterized as a classic example of Middle Eastern ‘‘top-down modernization’’. In these years, according to this view, a new state, based on a secular, nationalist elite and acting as the sole initiator and agent of change, undertook a comprehensive and systematic reshaping of Iranian political, economic, social, and cultural life.
