The nature and content of Kemalist ideology in Turkey during the last twenty years is analysed in this book. In order to place the current manifestations of this Turkish official modernising ideology in the two-part context of globalisation and the re-sacralisation of the world, Contemporary Kemalism scrutinises the texts of five prominent Kemalist intellectuals. After defining the unquestioned ideological premises of Kemalism, such as its implied liberal philosophy of history, and its idea about human nature, the book describes Kemalism’s vision of the ideal society. Kemalism’s close relationship to social democracy and neo-nationalism is then discussed in detail. Also included is an an...
Levent Köker, Türkiye’de demokratik geleneğin kökleri ya da köksüzlüğü tartışmasına değişik boyutlar getiriyor. Kemalizm’de nihaî hedef olarak modern Batı demokrasisinin benimsenmediğini belirtiyor, halkçılık ilkesinin “Türkiye’de sınıflar yoktur, çoğulculuğa da gerek yoktur” anlayışından doğduğuna işaret ediyor.
Post-Kemalizm kavramı, modern Türkiye analizinde tek parti dönemini ülkenin bütün temel problemlerinin “anası” olarak gören eleştirel yaklaşımı özetliyor. “Kemalizm”le tanımlanan bu deneyimi sorgulayarak aşmayı, demokratikleşmenin anahtarı olarak gören yönelimleri tanımlıyor. Post-post-Kemalist paradigma ise, “tek parti döneminin büyüsünün bozulmasını” sağlayan bu eleştirel birikimin, 2000’lerin seyri içinde “bir ortodoksinin yerine başka bir ortodoksiyi koyma” eğilimini doğurduğu tespitinden yola çıkıyor. Bu nedenle, eleştirinin eleştirisini yaparak bir adım daha atmayı öneriyor. 1908-1945 arası dönemine sıkışmadan, sonraki ...

This book is concerned with Turkey’s political evolution, the role of Kemalism, and why a social democratic alternative has never fully developed. Concentrating on the electoral weaknesses of the Turkish centre-left, represented by the Republican People’s Party (CHP), Sinan Ciddi examines the roles of nationalism and the political establishment and the role of Kemalist ideology. Established by Kemal Ataturk, the CHP is seen to be the founding party of modern Turkey. Kemalism sought to create a secular and democratic society based on the principles of republicanism, populism, secularism, nationalism and revolutionism. Although this leftist ideology became an integral part of Turkish polit...
This book examines the Kemalist ideology of Turkey from two perspectives. It discusses major problems in the existing interpretations of the topic and how the incorporation of Soviet perspectives enriches the historiography and our understanding of that ideology. To address these questions, the book looks into the origins, evolution, and transformational phases of Kemalism between the 1920s and 1970s. The research also focuses on perspectives from abroad by observing how republican Turkey and particularly its founding ideology were viewed and interpreted by Soviet observers. Paying more attention to the diplomatic, geopolitical, and economic complexities of Turkish-Soviet relations, scholars have rarely problematized those perceptions of Turkish ideological transformations. Looking at various phases of Soviet attitudes towards Kemalism and its manifestations through the lenses of Communist leaders, party functionaries, diplomats and scholars, the book illuminates the underlying dynamics of Soviet interpretations.
This book provides an informed analysis of the ideological content of Kemalismthe name given to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's party's political thought and practiceand the persistently official and semi-official, hegemonic ideology of the Turkish Republic, formally founded in 1923. Through a textual and contextual analysis of Kemalism in Atatürk's speeches and the official documents of the ruling Republican People's Party, Taha Parla and Andrew Davison offer fresh interpretations of the political, economic, social, and cultural goals of the Kemalist version of Turkish nationalism. They also provide an astute analysis of the power and authority that Atatürk and his colleagues believed were neces...
