Especially, Pinar Ilkkaracan, who initiated, coordinated and led the four-year research program on which this volume is based, providing core support and guidance to the research teams. This volume would not have been possible without the energy, commitment and dedication of each of the country partners and their vantage points embedded within national women’s rights, human rights and sexual rights movements. Credit is due to l’Association Tunisienne des Femmes Démocrates (ATFD), Helem, KOMNAS Perempuan, Mada Al-Carmel, Sisters in Islam (SIS), and Women for Women’s Human Rights—New Ways (WWHR). While logistical reasons prevented us from including the Tunisia and Lebanon studies in this volume, the work by those teams was integral to informing the analysis and synthesis of the overall project. The guidance and insightful comments from our expert reviewers, including Rosalind Petchesky, strengthened the rigor of our analysis. The translation and editorial work by Marlene Caplan on numerous drafts of the studies was of indispensable value, as was the copy-editing of Caryn Lim. We thank the coordinating teams who worked on this project at various stages: Liz Ercevik Amado and WWHR-New Ways for the initial research program; Lynn Darwich and Nasawiya for carrying it forward; and Rima S. Athar and GAYa NUSANTARA for seeing this project through to its completion. CSBR would like to acknowledge the generous support from Ford Foundation for this project in its early beginnings, which enabled the six research teams to undertake this original research. We thank Monash University School of Arts & Social Sciences for supporting editorial work, and Sigrid Rausing Trust for supporting this publication. This volume is dedicated to Zaitun Kasim, whose political vision and unwavering commitment to human rights has guided so many in our network. Toni was an integral part of this project from its inception, and she continues to inspire us in our movements for rights and justice.

Tensions, Contradictions, and Strategies for Moving Ahead Dina M. Siddiqi Sexuality as Difference Sexuality, rights and Islam—individually each of these words has a rich history, unstable and contested, but profoundly productive. Taken together, however, they signal an extraordinarily charged dynamic in the world today. Whether it is Daesh circulating footage of its executions of gay men in the name of purifying their “caliphate”, Israel promoting itself as a gay haven as part of its pink-washing campaign, European governments considering the equivalent of a homosexuality acceptance test as a condition of citizenship,1 the Turkish government lifting a long-standing ban on headscarves in official spaces,2 or reports of forced marriages in Syrian refugee camps—the world seems transfixed by questions of gender, and sexuality in Muslim societies.3 Arguably, such attention should not surprise—after all, sexuality itself is a dense transfer point of power, as Michel Foucault once put it, and its management remains an integral aspect of governance in modern nation states. Nonetheless, the current moment stands out for the peculiar prominence granted to Muslim sexual subjectivity in discourses of global governance and as well as the striking emotional charge such discourses carry. Most obviously, the war on terror and subsequent securitization discourses drive much of contemporary interest in Muslims. Such attention is bolstered by “common sense” imaginations of sexuality and Islam that are a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Deanne Corbett, “Testing the Limits of Tolerance.” Deutsche Welle, March 3, 2006.

As we will see, the concept of an absolute Islamic difference complicates scholarship, activism and advocacy on sexuality, both in Muslim majority spaces as well as in locations where Muslims are a minority. It produces the contradictions and dilemmas that form a major backdrop for the issues raised in the chapters in this volume. Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, if not

  • A Critical View on the Idea of Rising of Conservatism in University Graduates in Turkey
    A Critical View on the Idea of Rising of Conservatism in University Graduates in Turkey Meral Öztoprak1 1Yeditepe University, [email protected] 0000-0002-4101-261X Abstract Even though it is getting weaker, there is still a common idea in Turkish politics that well-educated people support the left-wing politi- cal parties and contrary, under-educated people support the right-wing/ conservative parties. Although this idea may partially -or at the end- be true the situation is more complicated than this. In the Atlas of Turkish Values, for example, the comparison of 1990 and 2011 data indicates that conservatism has risen dramatically among university graduates. Therefore, it is necessary to know the background of this process together with the populist and ideological policies. Hence, we should examine some paradoxes of liberal democracy. So, the main research questions here are: 1. How are higher education and politics intertwined between 1990 and today? Submission Date: 22/07/2019 Acceptance Date: 26/09/2019 Contemporary Research in Economics and Social Sciences Vol: 3 Issue: 2 Year: 2019, pp. 247-262 Bu makaleler Prof. Dr. Atilla Öner anısına yazılmıştır. CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, VOLUME 3 ISSUE 2 2. What are the social and political effects of changing and specif- ically; on the voting behavior of the university graduates among these two main political lines: National Vision tradition and Republican po- litical parties? Keywords: Universities in Turkey, conservatism and education, democracy and education, Gramsci, World Values Survey Turkey, pol- itics and universities Öz Giderek zayıflasa da Türk siyasetinde halen eğitim düzeyi yüksek kişilerin sol görüşten siyasal partileri desteklediği ve tersine, eğitim dü- zeyi düşük kişilerin de sağ görüşten/muhafazakar siyasal partileri des- 248 teklediği görüşü hakimdir.

STEWART DEPARTIMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, CLARK UNIVERSITY Abstract By happenstance, we found ourselves in Istanbul, Turkey in early June 2013 only days after a mass anti-government protest developed in and around Gezi Park. In addition to informal discussions and interviews with academics and others, we visited the protest site and traveled throughout Istanbul to directly experience the atmosphere and events. We also conducted two studies of Turks’ participation in, and views of, the protests. This paper recounts the events in Istanbul that summer and reviews our own, and other, social science research on the protests and the protestors. We focus on who the protestors were and why they protested, as opposed to the less engaged actions of visiting the protests or following them in the media. Keywords Turkey; protest; collective action; anti-government; empowerment; anger Corresponding author: Colin Wayne Leach, Email: [email protected] The visit to Istanbul by those of us based in the U.S. was supported by Bahçeşehir University. We wish to thank our academic host (Jacquie Mattis), the chairman of the board (Enver Yücel), and all of the faculty and staff who helped us.

As the political left shrunk, the political gravity in electoral and party politics shifted toward the Islamic revivalist and ultra-nationalist Turkish parties. This article examines the nature of this ideological shift, with special focus on the politics of conservatism. The findings of major survey research conducted in April–May 2006 on the sociopolitical orientations and values of Turkish voters are utilized to delineate the characteristics of conservative voting behavior. A major finding of this survey is that most voters tend to support a conservative party such as the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) out of expected economic benefits rather than purely ideo- logical beliefs.

Ini bukan lagi persoalan menang kalah, tapi prinsip berdemokrasi. Capres Prabowo Subianto dan Cawapres Hatta Rajasa berkali-kali menyampaikan siap menang dan siap kalah. Tapi propsesnya harus di atas Pilpres yang jujur adil dan demokratis. Kemenangan yang diperoleh dengan menghalalkan segala cara tak akan menghasilkan kepemimpinan yang kuat dan diakui. Kekalahan yang dibiarkan begitu saja berarti mengabaikan suara pendukung yang jumlahnya 60-an juta. Prabowo-Hatta telah menunjukkan sikap tegas dengan menarik diri dari proses rekapitulasi suara yang cacat hukum. Rekomendasi untuk diadakannya Pemilu ulang di ribuan TPS tak digubris KPU. Maka pada 25 Juli 2014, Prabowo-Hatta membawa masalah kecurangan ke Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). Ribuan pendukung mengantar sidang pembukaan MK pada 6 Agustus 2014. FOTO ANISM Beberapa alur dugaan kesalahan KPU antara lain: (1) penambahan DPT sekitar 6 juta dalam waktu dua bulan dari A T Pemilu legislatif; (2) penetapan DPKTb (Daftar Pemilih Khusus A Tambahan), tak sesuai UU; (3) perhitungan suara dipaksakan .NET dari 30 hari menjadi 14 hari dengan mengabaikan keberatan dan protes dari peserta Pilpres; (4) dugaan masifnya pemilih siluman dan pemilih ganda, mencoblos lebih dari satu kali; (5) pembukaan PRABOWO SUBIANTO kotak suara tanpa izin yang berarti merusak barang bukti; (6) tak dilaksanakannya Pilpres di sejumlah daerah, tapi ada hasilnya seperti kasus Papua; (7) pencetakan form C1 yang kurang transparan, dan banyaknya beredar C1 palsu; (8) pencetakan kertas melebihi ketentuan UU.

  • Turkey and Russia: a Paradox of Family Resemblance
    Turkey and Russia: A paradox of family resemblance Igor Torbakov 27 September 2019 Both Russia and Turkey are ethnically diverse former empires that underwent similar processes of modernization and had similar relationships with the West. Today, they have revived a civilizational paradigm with a strong authoritarian and anti-western character. Precisely this resemblance is resurrecting rivalry for power and influence in the region. Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Turkey increasingly resemble sisters under the skin. Domestically authoritarian and internationally assertive, traditionally suspicious of the West’s designs, and cold-shouldered by the United States and the European Union because of their growing illiberalism, Ankara and Moscow appear intent to forge a strategic relationship and challenge western hegemony. Yet, paradoxically, the similarities between the two Eurasian powers’ imperial strategic cultures make their flourishing entente fragile and fraught with potential conflict. On 19 November 2018, the two leaders met in Istanbul after the ceremony marking the completion of the TurkStream gas pipeline’s offshore section. Turkey’s president gave his Russian counterpart a curious gift: four exquisitely bound volumes of the Russian translation of Gogol’un İzinde (‘Following Gogol’), a massive tetralogy by the best-selling Turkish novelist Alev Alatlı. [1] Although Erdoğan says he admires Alatlı and has recently made her a member of the presidential council on culture and arts policies, his bookish present appears to be more than just a reflection of his reading preferences. In her epic work, Alatlı – a staunch supporter of Erdoğan’s policies – has created a complex and colourful tableau intertwining real events in Russian and Turkish history.

  • The State and Illegality in Indonesia in Illegality and State the the STATE and ILLEGALITY in INDONESIA
    Edited by Edward Aspinall and Gerry van Klinken The state and illegality in Indonesia THE STATE AND ILLEGALITY IN INDONESIA The popular 1998 reformasi movement that brought down President Suharto’s regime demanded an end to illegal practices by state offi cials, from human rights abuse to nepotistic investments. Yet today, such practices have proven more resistant to reform than people had hoped. Many have said corruption in Indonesia is “entrenched”. We argue it is precisely this entrenched character that requires attention. What is state illegality entrenched in and how does it become entrenched? This involves studying actual cases. Our observations led us to rethink fundamental ideas about the nature of the state in Indonesia, especially regarding its socially embedded character. We conclude that illegal practices by state offi cials are not just aberrations to the state, they are the state. Almost invariably, illegality occurs as part of collective, patterned, organized and collaborative acts, linked to the competition for political power and access to state resources. While obviously excluding many without connections, corrupt behaviour also plays integrative and stabilizing functions. Especially at the lower end of the social ladder, it gets a lot of things done and is often considered legitimate. This book may be read as a defence of area studies approaches. Without the insights that grew from applying our area studies skills, we would still be constrained by highly stylized notions of the state, which bear little resemblance to the state’s actual workings. The struggle against corruption is a long-term political process. Instead of trying to depoliticize it, we believe the key to progress is greater popular participation.

Working papers are considered draft publications for critical comments by colleagues and will generally be expected to be published elsewhere in a more polished form after a period of critical engagement and revision. Comments on papers should be directed to the author(s) at [email protected] or [email protected] A revised version of this paper is published in Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, 13 (3), July 2007: 367-403 © Copyright is held by the author(s) of each working paper: No part of this publication may be republished, reprinted or reproduced in any form without the permission of the paper’s author(s). National Library of Australia. ISSN: 1037-4612 Abstract Ethnic gang violence is often depicted as a clash between criminals pursuing instrumental advantage, and also as a clash of ideological fanatics pursuing collective nationalist, ethnolinguistic or ethnoreligious rights. However, there is an apparent tension between the conceptualization of such violence as the rational self-interest of deprived individuals, and as the irrational fanaticism of anomic communities. The examination of one particular ethnic gang, the Betawi Brotherhood Forum which operates in Jakarta, Indonesia, indicates how both dimensions of violence coexist and interweave. The apparent analytical tension between individualistic pragmatism and collectivist moral absolutism is resolved by showing how the gang responds to their disillusionment with the state by constructing for themselves a ‘state proxy’ role.
