More than three decades after the Cold War, international institutions have yet to cope with pressing problems, emerging challenges, and regional and international conflicts. Against the backdrop of an unraveling international order, deepening humanitarian crises, and an uptick in violence, Turkey, under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's leadership, has advocated international cooperation to find solutions. At the same time, the country has adopted a more proactive foreign policy with an eye toward ending long-standing international disputes while avoiding the trap of unilateralism. Written by Turkey's communications director, Fahrettin Altun, this book offers a concise yet detailed analysis...
In the 2010s, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) began to mobilize an international media system to project Turkey as a rising player and counter foreign criticism of its authoritarian practices. Bilge Yesil examines the AKP’s English-language communication apparatus, focusing on its objectives and outcomes, the idea-generating framework that undergirds it, and the implications of its activities. She also analyzes the decolonial and pan-Islamist messages AKP-sponsored outlets deploy to position Turkey as a burgeoning great power opposed to imperialism and claiming to be the voice of oppressed Muslims around the world. As the AKP wields this rhetoric to further its geopolitical and economic goals, media outlets pursue their own objectives by obfuscating facts with identity politics, demonizing the West to aggrandize the East and rallying Muslims under Turkey’s purportedly benevolent leadership. Insightfully exploring the crossroads of communications and authoritarianism, Talking Back to the West illuminates how the Erdogan government and its media allies use history, religion, and identity to pursue complementary agendas and tighten the AKP’s grip on power.
Son beş yıldır PKK, FETÖ ve DEAŞ ile aynı anda savaşan Türkiye’nin en öncelikli ulusal güvenlik meselesi terördür. Ancak on yıllardır terörle mücadele veren ülkemizde konuya dair akademik değerlendirmelerin beklenen birikime ulaşabildiğini söylemek maalesef mümkün değildir. Elinizdeki kitap terör konusuna farklı perspektiflerden yaklaşan bir grup akademisyenin bu amaca yönelik ortak bir çabası olarak doğmuştur. Konuyla ilgili çalışma eksikliğini gidermek ve farklı bakış açılarını ortaya koymak adına derlenen bu kitap terör sorununu bir bütün olarak incelemektedir. Hem teorik hem de ampirik değerlendirmelerle bilgi birikimi üretebilmeyi hedef...
Türkiye 24 Haziran seçimlerinin ardından yeni bir döneme girdi. Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’ın yemin etmesiyle yeni yönetim sistemine geçtik.

Türkiye ekonomi üzerinden yeni bir saldırıyla karşı karşıya. Ancak ani spekülatif ataklara rağmen bir kriz ya da panik havası yok. Başkan Erdoğan’ın güçlü liderliği, 24 Haziran sonrası bu liderliğin kurumsallaşması ve milletin 2013’ten beri derinleşen bilinci sayesinde Türkiye bu süreçten de güçlenerek çıkacak. Kriter bu ay ekonomide olup biteni en yetkili isme, Hazine ve Maliye Bakanı Berat Albayrak’a sordu. Bakan Albayrak hem mevcut duruma hem de Türkiye’nin hedeflerine dair güçlü mesajlar verdi.

After landslide electoral victories, two referenda and a presidential election, thirteen years of AK Party rule have shattered many myths regarding Turkey’s politics and the nature of the party itself. This book argues that the last thirteen years are best understood via the AK party’s interaction with the social-political realm. It focuses on criticism, dissent and opposition from prominent organized groups in Turkish society, which themselves represent significantly different traditions, ideologies and interests. Bringing together specialists from across the field, its chapters explore key societal actors to reveal the dynamics behind the last decade of AK Party rule. Overall, the book throws light on the extent to which the government’s characters, trajectories, policies and leadership style have been interactively shaped by opposition and dissent. Exploring the historically unprecedented and politically controversial rule of the AK Party, as well as the relationship between modern societal groups and a government driven by a conservative Islamic tradition, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Turkish studies, as well as politics more generally.
Explains the social, economic, and historical origins of the ruling Justice and Development Party, offering keen insight into one of the most successful transformations of an Islamic movement in the Muslim world.
The articulation of collective identity by means of a stereotyped repertoire of exclusionary characterizations of Self and Other is one of the longest-standing literary traditions in Europe and as such has become part of a global modernity. Recently, this discourse of Othering and national stereotyping has gained fresh political virulence as a result of the rise of “Identity Politics”. What is more, this newly politicized self/other discourse has affected Europe itself as that continent has been weathering a series of economic and political crises in recent years. The present volume traces the conjunction between cultural and literary traditions and contemporary ideologies during the crisis of European multilateralism.
