Iran's Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long?
Atlantic Council SOUTH ASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF Iran’s Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long? APRIL 2018 SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI ome fifteen million of Iran’s eighty million people are Sunni Muslims, the country’s largest religious minority. Politically and economically disadvantaged, these Sunnis receive relatively lit- tle attention compared with other minorities and are concen- Strated in border areas from Baluchistan in the southeast, to Kurdistan in the northwest, to the Persian Gulf in the south. The flare up of tensions between regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran over Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen would seem to encourage interest in the state of Iranian Sunnis, if only because the Saudis present them- selves as defenders of the world’s Sunnis, and Iran the self-appointed champion of the Shia cause. So how do Iran’s Sunnis fare in a state where Shia theology governs al- most every aspect of life? How have they been affected by this regional rivalry? Are they stuck between jihadist and other extreme regional Sunni movements on the one hand, and the Shia regime’s aggres- sive policies on the other? Is there a danger that these policies could push some disgruntled Iranian Sunnis toward militancy and terrorism? A tour of Turkmen Sahra in the northeast of Iran near the Caspian Sea, and in Hormozgan on the Persian Gulf in 2015 and 2016 revealed some of the answers. More recent interviews were conducted by phone and in person in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and with European-based experts. “Being a Sunni in Iran means pain, fear, anxiety, restrictions,”1 said a young The Atlantic Council’s South woman in a southern Hormozgan village. -

An Analysis of Saints and the Popular Beliefs of Kurdish Alevis
Veneration of the Sacred or Regeneration of the Religious: An Title Analysis of Saints and the Popular Beliefs of Kurdish Alevis Author(s) Wakamatsu, Hiroki Journal 上智アジア学, (31) Issue Date 2013-12-27 Type 紀要/Departmental Bulletin Paper Text Version 出版者/Publisher http://repository.cc.sophia.ac.jp/dspace/handle/123456789/358 URL 31 Rights The Journal of Sophia Asian Studies No.31 (2013) Veneration of the Sacred or Regeneration of the Religious: An Analysis of Saints and the Popular Beliefs of Kurdish Alevis WAKAMATSU Hiroki* Introduction For a long time, anthropologists have been describing the importance of religion for all human communities. They have shown that humans will always be interested in dimension of faith, belief, and religion, and established that there is a crucial relationship between the holistic signification and the social institution. At the same time, they have laid out the various reasons why the religion is important for people, such as the way it enables a form of social solidarity among people to add meanings to human life and uncertainty (suffering, death, secret, and illness). For all human progress, the embodiments of religion and faith and the process of discovery are related to collective cultural structuring, social representation, and cultural function.(1) The purpose of anthropology is to investigate people, social relations, and social structure, so faith is one of the most fascinating subjects for anthropologists. Atay mentions that religious anthropology explores religiosity, religious motives and practices that have been formed to represent the way of life and culture rather than their religious contents and sacred/divine sources.(2) Therefore anthropologists have researched the dialectic relationship This is a revised edition of the paper presented as “Ocak in the Globalizing Alevism: An Anthropological Analysis on Dedelik-Seyitlik,” at the 1st International Symposium of Alevism from Past to Present, Bingöl University,Turkey, October 3-5, 2013. -
Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity
Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice. -
The Future of Turkey and the European Union
The Future of Turkey and the European Union Dan Martin Thesis Advisor: Dr. Gispen Martin 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction pp. 3-8 Chapter 2: Religion, Culture, and Government pp. 9-29 Chapter 3: Turkey’s Economy pp. 30-43 Chapter 4: Migration—Threat or Not? pp. 44-55 Chapter 5: Turkey and EU Security pp. 56-69 Chapter 6: Conclusion pp. 70-77 Martin 3 Chapter 1: Introduction One of the hottest topics in Europe today is whether or not Turkey will become a member of the European Union (EU). Although accession talks between the EU and Turkey officially began on October 4, 2005, the topic is anything but new.1 In fact, Turkey has been a hotly debated issue with the EU since 1959, when Turkey first applied to become a full member of what was then known as the European Community (EC).2 Why has Turkey been denied membership in the European Union thus far, and what are some of the issues involved? In this chapter, I will briefly introduce the main topics at hand in an effort to give the reader a grasp on the overall picture. I will then use the later chapters as in depth studies of these issues. The purpose of this paper is not to argue one way or another as to whether or not Turkey should be admitted, but rather to provide the reader with information from both sides of the argument. After providing all arguments and weighing them, I will be able to settle some of the issues at hand. -
Pol-101 A: Introduction to the Political Right Professor Matthew Mcmanus Whitman College, Department of Politics Mcmanusm@Whitma
Pol-101 A: Introduction to the Political Right Professor Matthew McManus Whitman College, Department of Politics [email protected] or [email protected] Office: Maxey 127 Phone Number: 509-522-4426 Course Description and Philosophy The objective of this course is to provide students with an introduction to the political right. In popular discourse political right is an ambiguous and fascinating end of the political spectrum, including everything from staunch traditionalists to defenders of classical liberal freedoms, bigots and libertarians. Variously described as conservative, reactionary, or simply right wing the political right is currently dominant in many parts of the world and therefore understanding it is vital to grasping contemporary politics more generally. Our analysis will be both exegetical and critical. We will be examining primary texts from different perspectives on the political right and examining their commonalities and discrepancies. This class will also be critical, so we will be assessing the strengths and weaknesses of these respective positions from alternate political standpoints. By the end of this course students will be able to: • Critically discuss and evaluate a number of prominent perspectives on the political right • Distinguish between competing right wing positions • Offer defenses and critiques of the political right • Apply their understanding to events in the contemporary world This course is interdisciplinary and dialogical. While everyone-including myself!-has their own convictions on these topics we should be open minded about changing our perspective where warranted. It is also expected that students will be highly involved in raising questions and points of interest to propel the classes’ conversation forward.
