The Neoliberal Landscape and the Rise of Islamist Capital in Turkey
Islamist capital accumulation has split the Turkish bourgeoisie and polarized Turkish society into secular and religious social groupings, giving rise to conflicts between the state and political Islam. By providing a long-term historical perspective on Turkey's economy and its relationship to Islamism, this volume explores how Islamism as a political ideology has been utilized by the conservative bourgeoisie in Turkey, and elsewhere, to establish hegemony over labor. The contributors analyze the relationship between neoliberalism and the political fortunes of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP), and examine the similarities and differences amongst new factions in the secular and Islamic middle class that have benefited economically, socially, and culturally during the AKP's reign. The articles also investigate the impact of the Gülen Movement and the role of the media in shaping the contours of intra-class struggle within contemporary Turkish political and social life.
A Farewell to the West?
Still in dangerous waters since the shock of the attempted military coup in July 2016, the behavior of The Republic of Turkey – long considered an important strategic partner for the West – has become increasingly unpredictable. Could Turkey really bid “adieu” to the West in coming years, or perhaps even months? What kinds of paths lay ahead of a possible Turkish “pivot” away from the West? What does this mean for the West’s strategic interests in the region? Authored by Dr. Barin Kayaoğlu of the American University of Iraq, this year’s study entitled “A Farewell to the West? Turkey’s Possible Pivot in the Aftermath of the July 2016 Coup Attempt” explores the conditions that could lead Turkey to change its foreign policy direction in the near future, exploring four distinctive possibilities that could all have important implications for Europe, and the wider world. This study is part of the 2016-2017 HCSS StratMon.

Ak Parti ve Türkiye'nin Dönüşümü - Cilt 2
• AK Parti 2023 seçimlerine yirmi bir yıldır iktidarda olan bir parti olarak katılıyor. Türkiye siyasetinin demokratik döneminde bu kadar uzun süre kesintisiz iktidarda kalan bir başka parti yok. Dünya siyaseti açısından bakıldığında ise ülkelerin demokratik yaşamında aynı liderle ve yüksek oy oranları ile iktidarda kalan ve tek başına iktidarını sürdüren parti yok denecek kadar az. Bu açılardan değerlendirildiğinde AK Parti hem Türkiye hem de dünya siyasetinde istisnai özellikleri ile öne çıkmaktadır. Genel, yerel ve cumhurbaşkanı seçimleri ve referandumlarla birlikte on beş seçimi arka arkaya kazanan bir parti, aynı zamanda en yakın rakibi i...

Incest and Inbreeding Avoidance
This book examines Darwinian social science through the substantive topic of incest and inbreeding avoidance, a behavior forward by human sociobiology as the best example of sociocultural behavior naturally selected in humans. I first encountered Gregory Leavitt's work while I was myself researching incest avoidance and the incest taboo. Like many anthropologists with limited expertise in genetics, I had assumed that inbreeding was securely established as a source of genetic depression. To be sure, anthropologists have commonly identified other factors as also having causative influences on incest avoidance and taboos, but I had presumed that the deleterious consequences of inbreeding had to...
