The House of Service
David Tittensor offers a groundbreaking new perspective on the G len movement, a Turkish Muslim educational activist network that emerged in the 1960s and has grown into a global empire with an estimated worth of $25 billion. Named after its leader Fethullah G len, the movement has established more than 1,000 secular educational institutions in over 140 countries, aiming to provide holistic education that incorporates both spirituality and the secular sciences. Despite the movement's success, little is known about how its schools are run, or how Islam is operationalized. Drawing on thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Turkey, Tittensor explores the movement's ideo-theology and how it...

International Relations Dynamics in the 21st Century: Security, Conflicts, and Wars
The study of international relations aims to provide insight into power dynamics, competition, and establishing peace and partnerships in the global system following the First World War. The international system is influenced by its various actors’ behavior, which constantly evolves due to structural shifts. Although the bipolar hegemonic system of the Cold War ended in the 1990s following the two world wars, the system changes again with new threats and the search for security. In this respect, the 1990s were a period of the Cold War shaped by new threat perceptions and conflict areas. The security issue encompasses a vast range, from individual safety to the international system. While a...
Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization
Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization, this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns, such as rights, freedoms, capabilities and duties. It explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey, which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the self and the other. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector, women and clothing, and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies, the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through ...
