Political Terrorism
While there is no easy way to define terrorism, it may generally be viewed as a method of violence in which civilians are targeted with the objective of forcing a perceived enemy into submission by creating fear, demoralization, and political friction in the population under attack. At one time a marginal field of study in the social sciences, terrorism is now very much in center stage. The 1970s terrorist attacks by the PLO, the Provisional Irish Republican Army, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Japanese Red Army, the Unabomber, Aum Shinrikyo, Timothy McVeigh, the World Trade Center attacks, the assault on a school in Russia, and suicide bombers have all made the term ...
Traces of Terrorism
Terrorism usually is a consquence of geopolitical decisions. Therefore, this book chooses a historical approach: it shows the most important terrorist attacks un their contexts. After all, terrorism is ultimately not a string of disconnected events; rather follows a line of development that this book seeks to trace in a chronicle.
A Sea of Transience
Transience is found in every meeting and form of coexistence between people and things that live and exist by, or move across or along, the Black Sea. It may come in various forms and guises, from de facto states, tourism, migration, trafficking or military troops, and it needs to be written and captured in sensuous, affective and imaginative ways. With particular attention to poetics, politics and aesthetics, this volume focuses on the scales of transient moments and histories, and enables readers to see and sense the many forms of transience that occur in a given landscape, sea or space.
Broken Masculinities
Broken Masculinities portrays the post-dictatorial novel of the 1970s in all its complexity, and introduces the reader to a 1968-era Turkey, a period which challenges Turkey?s now reinforced Islamic image by portraying the quest for sexual liberation and critical student uprisings. G?nay-Erkol argues that the literature written after the 1970 coup in Turkey constitutes a coherent sub-genre and needs to be considered together. These novels share a common ground which is rich in images of men and women craving for power: general isolation, sexual-emotional frustration, and a traumatic sense of solitude and alienation. This book is an original and significant contribution to two major fields of study: (1) gender and sexuality with respect to formation of subjectivity through literature, and (2) modern literature and history through the study of Turkish literature. The chief concern in this book is not only literature?s response to a particular period in Turkey, but also the role of literature in bearing witness to trauma and drastic political acts of violence?and coming to terms with them. ÿ

1970'lerde Türkiye Solu
Türkiye solunun en kitlesel olduğu dönem 1970’lerdir. Bugün dahi solun farklı renklerinden siyasi hareketlerin, o dönemdeki öncül örgütlerine ve o örgütlerin kitleselliğine referansla sergiledikleri özgüven, bu tespiti hâlâ geçerli kılmaktadır. Askerî darbeye kadar varlığını ve kitleselliğini muhafaza eden sol parti, örgüt ve hareketlerin, darbeyle beraber çekildikleri mevziler ise, 1970’lerle kıyaslandığında oldukça sathi bir siyasal etkiye işaret eder. 1970’lerde Türkiye Solu, solun en canlı yıllarının ve bu “cana gelişin” tarihini anlatıyor. 1971 darbesiyle sona eren THKO, THKP-C ve TİKKO-TKP/(ML) hareketlerinin mirasçısı olan örgüt ve hareketlerle, yeni kurulan siyasi partilerin amaçlarını, kuruluş ve örgütleniş faaliyetlerini, kitlesel güçlerini, ideolojik farklarını etraflı bir şekilde aktarırken, dönemin kapsamlı bir panoramasını da çiziyor. Vehbi Ersan, bu kitapta ele aldığı parti, örgüt ve hareketlerin 1980 sonrası yaşadıkları değişim, dönüşüm ve yeniden partileşme süreçlerine de değinerek, Türkiye’de solun tarihinin daha geniş bir perspektiften ele alınmasını sağlıyor.

This open access book brings together contributions from an internationally diverse group of scholars to celebrate Taner Akçam’s role as the first Turkish intellectual to publicly recognize the Armenian Genocide.

Soviet Eastern Policy and Turkey, 1920-1991
This is an impressive work that traces the relationship between the Soviet Union and Turkey on the one hand, and the Soviet Union and the Turkish Communist Party on the other, from the consolidation of the communist regime in Moscow until its fall. The book considers how 'Soviet Eastern Policy' was formed, how it changed over time, what the Soviet leaders hoped to gain in Turkey, and what impact Soviet policy had on the development of the Turkish communist movement. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars with an interest in Russian and Soviet poltics and international relations.
Turkish National Identity and Its Outsiders
This book examines the ways in which states and nations are constructed and legitimated through defining and managing outsiders. Focusing on Turkey and the municipality of Dersim – a region that has historically combined different outsider identities, including Armenian, Kurdish, and Alevi identities – the author explores the remembering, transformation and mobilisation of everyday relations of power and the manner in which relationships with the state shape both outsider identities and the conception of the nation itself. Together with a discussion of the recent decade in which the history, identity, and nature of Dersim have been central to various social and political organisations, t...
