Power of Bonding and Non-Western Emerging Great Powers Engagement
This book has been developed that uses Joseph S. Nye's Soft Power theory and developing a new idea of “Power of Bonding” based on non-Western perspectives to examine India and China's soft power strategy in Pakistan.
Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Myanmar
This book discusses the current reality and the future of ethnic Rohingyas in Myanmar. It presents Myanmar’s history, policy, politics and, most importantly, while focusing on Rohingya ethnic conflict, presents a resolution by looking at the global and regional policies and politics of South Asia and South-East Asia. The recent coup unfolded in Myanmar and the detention of the democratic leaders has surprised the world with its subsequent emergency declaration in 2021, thus making this book relevant and well-timed. Eventually, the book offers an account of a previously little known, yet much-discussed role of media, international actors, human trafficking, and humanitarian-based resolution for Rohingya refugee crisis. It shows a new perspective in the post-Rohingya influx era of Bangladesh and the neighbouring countries.
Poles Apart
Is there a predominant reason why India is not Pakistan? Many would likely point to the omnipresence of the military in the polity of the latter. While the interventionist attitude of the army in Pakistan easily explains the democratic shortfall in its history, the mirror opposite in India is rarely studied or credited. Poles Apart is a unique and original investigation of the comparative roles of the military, to study their influences on the growth of democracy in the two nations. The book highlights the divisive outcomes of military coups on Pakistan’s democratic trajectory while also closely analysing potential scenarios in India when the army could have gone astray, but chose to stay ...
Hungry for Power
For much of the last thirteen years, Turkey rode a wave of political, social, and economic success. When the AK Party came to power in 2002, it pursued a progressive and democratic agenda which resulted in the advancement of democratic and human rights and widespread economic growth. Two landslide election victories reaffirmed the AK Party’s successes, and Turkey was held up to the world as an example of the peaceful co-existence between Islam and democracy. So now we ask: what went wrong? After the AK Party secured its third sweeping victory in the 2011 Parliamentary elections, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan suddenly veered off "the train to democracy" and began pursuing his personal agenda. The r...
Power of Bonding and Non-Western Soft Power Strategy in Iran
This book comparatively assesses the China and India’s soft power strategy in Iran. By employing Joseph S. Nye’s “Soft Power” theory and forming the new concept of “Power of Bonding”, this book formulated China and India’s soft power narratives and applied it through the empirical analysis in Iran. Based on this theory, this book seeks explanations for the question of “How China and India respectively, strategically and comparatively use the soft power strategy in Iran?”. To reach the find-out, this book compares the understanding, resources, strategies, influences and uses of China and India’s soft power in Iran under three thematic areas, including “power of bonding through cultural attractions, and attributions”; “political and diplomatic engagement” and “economic partnerships”. By analysing China and India’s soft power strategy in Iran, this book seeks to contribute to the soft power literature through a theoretical replication based on non-Western soft power strategy, the concept and its empirical application in China and India.
Islamophobia
Islamophobia has been on the rise since September 11, as seen in countless cases of discrimination, racism, hate speeches, physical attacks, and anti-Muslim campaigns. The 2006 Danish cartoon crisis and the controversy surrounding Pope Benedict XVI's Regensburg speech have underscored the urgency of such issues as image-making, multiculturalism, freedom of expression, respect for religious symbols, and interfaith relations. The 1997 Runnymede Report defines Islamophobia as "dread, hatred, and hostility towards Islam and Muslims perpetuated by a series of closed views that imply and attribute negative and derogatory stereotypes and beliefs to Muslims." Violating the basic principles of human ...
Muhafazakar Düşünce Dergisi Sayı 28
Geniş anlamda insanlık tarihiyle yaşıt olmamakla birlikte, uzun bir süredir ‘devlet’ ya da benzeri siyasal örgütlenmeler insan hayatının ayrılmaz bir parçasını oluşturmuştur. Siyasal düşünceler tarihine genel bir bakışla, muhtevası ve biçimi farklılık taşısa da, bir siyasal örgütlenme tarzı olarak devletin doğasına, kökenine, yapısına, işleyişine ya da işlev ve hedeflerine dair çok çeşitli düşünceler ve çözümleme tarzları ile karşılaşmak mümkündür. Yetkin siyasal örgütlenme biçimi olarak gördükleri Polis’i yücelten Sokrates, Platon ve Aristoteles gibi Antik Yunan düşünürleri, devletin insan doğasıyla uyumunu ve siyasetin ...
Kent ve Maneviyat
Zaman ve mekân boyutlarında yaşayan insan, eşyaya ve olaylara bu çerçevede şekil ve anlam vermiştir. İnsan, yeryüzü hayatıyla birlikte başlayan barınma ihtiyacını da zamanın ve mekânın imkânları ve anlayışları çerçevesinde karşılamıştır. Dünden bugüne gelişen konaklama ve yerleşim yerleri, maddi ve manevi boyutlarıyla kovukta başlamış; sonra kulübeye, akabinde konuta/eve, ardından konağa nihayetinde de apartman ya da rezidanslara geçilmiştir. Bir konut ile başlayan yerleşme; köyden kasabaya oradan da kente/şehre doğru genişleme ve gelişme basamaklarını çıkmıştır. Bu yapılaşmada evin “yuva”ya, kasaba veya kentin de “memleket”...
Muhafazakar Düşünce Dergisi Sayı 24
Beşerî gerçeklik insanın yaşadığı, toplumsal dönüşümü sağladığı ve hatırladığı bir bütündür. Beşerî gerçekliğin sonucu ortak bir tarih oluşumudur. Bu gerçeklik toplumsal hafızanın güçlü ve güvenilir olmasıyla bağlantılıdır. Muhafazakâr düşünceye göre toplum, onu oluşturan bireylerden fazla ve onların üstünde yaşayan bir varlıktır. Aynı zamanda toplum sadece bugünü ve görüneni değil; geçmişi, geleceği, görüneni ve görünmeyeni de içeren sürekli bir ortaklıktır. Hafıza birey için ne kadar önemli ve ne kadar varoluşsal ise toplumlar için de o kadar önemlidir. Çünkü toplum, bireylerin toplamından daha büyük ve daha ...
InTraders 2019: Academic studies in social, human and administrative sciences
The present study is an analysis of the connections established between the intercultural phenomenon and trade. Both intercultural contacts and commerce appeared and developed due to humans’ mobility and their basis was exchange (either spiritual or material). Since the dawn of history people travelled a lot and exchanged knowledge and goods (for instance, silk was brought to Europe by two Byzantine monks from China, in 550 C.E.), so, travel generated interculturality and trade. Intercultural contacts can be positive (trade, for example) or negative (wars). One can say that interculturality is a trait of the human species. Many innovations in different fields spread due to intercultural ex...
