Prof. Dr. Mesut Yeen Co-Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Kürad Erturul July 2005, 155 pages This thesis examines the Kurdish political mobilization in the 1960s through focusing on the case of the Eastern Meetings. These meetings were organized by the Easterners group of the Turkish Workers Party in the various provinces in the autumn 1967 in the East and Southeast Anatolia with the aim of voicing the demands, claims and the grievances of these regions and the Kurdish population. Using the theoretical framework and the analytical tools presented by the social movements and collective action theory, this thesis examines the identity formation and mobilization processes of the Eastern Meetings and situates them within the socio-political context of the 1960s. Through this analysis, the thesis aims to draw a dynamic and relational picture of a particular moment in the history of Kurdish political activism. Keywords: Eastern Meetings, Kurdish political mobilization, social movements, collective action iv ÖZ 1960’LARDA KÜRT SYASAL MOBLZASYONU: “DOU MTNGLER” ÖRNE Gündoan, Azat Zana Master, Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi : Doç.Dr. Mesut Yeen Ortak Tez Yöneticisi: Yrd.Doç.

I have to acknowledge my debt to Prof. Dr. Günay Göksu Özdoan and Assoc.

I would also like to thank Ahmed Önal whose support was so valuable in providing me a plenty of materials about my topic. I should also mention my interviewees who kindly accepted to reserve time for me and shared their memories, impressions and thoughts regarding the Eastern Meetings and the general political climate of the 1960s. My special thanks for Tarık Ziya Ekinci, Naci Kutlay, Mehmed Ali Aslan. I should also thank to Ruen Arslan who shared my enthusiasm about my topic and provided my contact with Mehmed Ali Aslan. I should also express my debt to Cemil Gündoan who kindly shared his interview with Kemal Burkay and his research on the DPTK. My thanks are also for Hashem Ahmadzadeh who sent the facsimile copies of the newspapers, Deng and Dicle-Fırat from Stockholm, Sweden. I would also like to thank my cousin Dersim Yabasun who helped me to obtain some of the materials from Amsterdam. A number of people with varying degrees and at different times have been by my side. I would like to thank my long-lived buddy Barı Menderes and the whole Menderes Family. I also express my thanks to my buddy, Süleyman vii Doan for their existence as a real friend. I would also express my thanks to Can Nacar with whom I started the academic journey. His intellectual and morale support are so important to me. I am also thankful to Delal Aydın not only for her intellectual and collaborative company but also for her empathy and sincere friendship which have always been very meaningful to me.

Last, but not the least, I would like to express my warmest gratitude to my wife Nilay Özok-Gündoan who not only shared my enthusiasm about the topic of this thesis and always reminded me of its importance during the crisis moments, but also read, criticized and edited my text. Without her patience, intellectual/material support and most valuably never-ending care and encouragement she blended with love, this study could barely be realized. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS PLAGIARISM................................................................................................ iii ABSTRACT.................................................................................................... iv ÖZ................................................................................................................... v DEDICATION................................................................................................ vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.............................................................................. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS…………………………………………………… ix LIST OF FIGURES………………………………………………………… xi LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………….. xii CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………... 1 I.

  • Illiberal Media and Popular Constitution-Making in Turkey
    University of Massachusetts Amherst ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst Communication Department Faculty Publication Series Communication 2020 Illiberal Media and Popular Constitution-Making in Turkey Burcu Baykurt Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/communication_faculty_pubs 1 Illiberal Media and Popular Constitution Making in Turkey 1. Introduction Popular constitution making, a process that allows for public participation as opposed to a handful of elites writing a fundamental social contract behind closed doors and imposing it on the rest of society, is tricky. It sounds like a noble idea in theory, but it is difficult to execute effectively, efficiently, and, most importantly, democratically. Even trickier are the roles of publicity and media in popular constitution making. What are the consequences of reporting during the drafting of a new constitution? In what ways could the media lend legitimacy to the process by informing the public and incorporating public opinion into the drafting of a constitution? Coupled with the rise of new media technologies, an ideal of participatory constitution making (and an active role for the media) may seem desirable, not to mention attainable, but there are myriad ways to participate, and basing a constitution on popular opinion could easily devolve into a majority of 50 percent plus one that imposes its will on the rest. The bare minimum, ideally, is to expect journalists to report on facts without bowing to political or economic pressures, but even that is easier said than done. For which audiences are these journalistic facts intended? For those leaders drafting the new constitution or the public at large? These are not easy questions to answer empirically, not only because media and communications are often neglected in studies of constitution making, but also because the relationship between the two is hard to ascertain precisely.

Goldman* Democracy within nations requires respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, as set forth in the [United Nations] Charter. It requires as well a deeper understanding and respect for the rights of minorities and respect for the needs of the more vulnerable groups of society, ....This is not only a political matter. The social stability needed for productive growth is nurtured by conditions in which people can readily express their will.' I. INTRODUCTION The responsibility of states toward groups within their territory has come under increased debate within members of the international community. Despite the adoption by the United Nations of the most definitive statement to date on group rights, the repression of groups remains unabated.

The Law and Policy Lab (The Policy Lab) offers students an immersive experience in finding solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Under the guidance of seasoned faculty advisers, Policy Lab students counsel real-world clients in an array of areas, including education, global governance, transnational law enforcement, intellectual property, policing and technology, and energy policy. Policy labs address policy problems for real clients, using analytic approaches that supplement traditional legal analysis. The clients may be local, state, federal and international public agencies or officials, or private non-profit entities such as NGOs and foundations. Typically, policy labs assist clients in deciding whether and how qualitative and/or quantitative empirical evidence can be brought to bear to better understand the nature or magnitude of their particular policy problem and identify and assess policy options. The methods may include comparative case studies, population surveys, stakeholder interviews, experimental methods, program evaluation or big data science, and a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis.
