The Kurdish Question Revisited
The Kurds, once marginal in the study of the Middle East and secondary in its international relations, have moved to center stage in recent years. In Turkey, where the Kurdish question is an issue of national significance, and in Iraq, where the gains made by the Kurdistan Regional Governmenthave allowed it to impose its authority, moves are afoot to solve "the Kurdish Question" once and for all. In Syria, where the Kurds have borne the brunt of the Islamic State's onslaught as they defended their three self-declared cantons of Afrin, Kobane, and Cezire, and in Iran, where they struggleto express their cultural distinctiveness and suffer disproportionately at the hands of the Islamic Republi...
Asymmetric Neighbors and International Relations
With a range of case studies from every continent, the contributors to this book analyze the challenges that arise for states living with much larger neighbors, and the policies they develop to account for this asymmetry. Bringing together the perspectives of bilateral relations and the study of small states, this book analyzes a range of scenarios where one or more smaller countries must manage relations with a much larger neighbor or neighbors, from the perspective of the smaller countries. Each case presents different priorities, depending on the relationship between the states concerned, while highlighting the commonalities across the various scenarios. The range of cases and contributors is wide and diverse, with examples including Togo’s relationship with Ghana, Mongolia’s with China, and Colombia’s with Brazil – as well as more widely known examples such as Canada and the United States, or Australia and New Zealand. A valuable resource for scholars and students of international relations, and public policy of small- and medium-sized states.
Changing Urban Renewal Policies in China
"This is a very rich monograph, based on impressive fieldwork in China, which demonstrates excellent qualitative and ethnographic research skills, research integrity, and cultural perceptiveness in the analysis. This book will make a great contribution to the literature on policy transfer and and policy mobilities, and on urban politics in contemporary China, as it offers a rich understanding of the nitty-gritty practices of transferring and learning 'from abroad'."Claire Colomb, Professor of Urban Studies and Planning at the University College London, UK. This book explores the concept of Careful Urban Renewal, a concept of urban renewal that originated in Berlin in the 1980s and that was p...
Siyaset ve Kültür Kesişmesi
Siyaset ve kültür kesişmesi günümüz dünyasının temel sorunlarından biri. Politika ve kültürün kesişme alanı siyasal projelerin biçimlendirmeye çalıştığı kültürü ve siyasal alanı oluşturan kültürel dinamikleri içeriyor. Kültür, genellikle, bir grubun toplumsallaşma yoluyla üyelerine aktarılan belli değer ve nitelikleri tanımlarken, kültür normlarının üretilmesinde ve yeniden yorumlanmasında bireylerin etkin rolleri yanında kültürel kimliklerin gelişimi de önem taşıyor. Kültür; toplumsal, siyasal, kurumsal alanlardaki tercihlerin gerçekleşmesi ve doğrulanması düzleminde nitelendirme sürecinden meydana gelen özel bir değer. 20. yüzyıldan bu yana, meşruiyetini kültürel bir ulusal birliği temsil etmekten alan ulus devletlerin ortaya çıkışı bu iddiayı güçlendirmekte. Bu eser Marmara Üniversitesi Fransızca Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü’nün 30. Kuruluş Yıldönümü anısına hazırlanmıştır.

Perspectives on specific actors and issue...
The Kurds of Turkey
In fact, Kurds in Turkey have many diverse political and ideological orientations. Focusing on the elites of these informal groups - national, religious and economic - Cuma Cicek analyses the consequences of the divisions and subsequent prospects of consensus building. Using an innovative theoretical framework founded on constructivism, the 'three 'I's' model and various strands of sociology, Cicek considers the dynamics that affect the Kurds in Turkey across issues as diverse as the central state, geopolitics, nationalism, Europeanisation and globalisation. In so doing, he examines the consensus-building process of 1999-2015 and presents the possible route to a unified Kurdish political state.Cicek's in-depth and meticulously researched work adds an indispensable layer of nuance to our conception of the Kurdish community. This is an important book for students or researchers with an interest in the history and present of the Kurds and their future in Turkey and across the Middle East.
La Guerre civile irakienne
Kirkouk, dans le nord de l’Irak, est l’une des provinces les plus touchées par la violence politique. Les conflits s’y superposent depuis plusieurs décennies : mobilisations sociales, guerre entre partis kurdes et État central, lutte d’influence entre les puissances régionales, insurrection arabe sunnite et montée en puissance des milices chiites. Kirkouk constitue donc un point d’observation privilégié des dynamiques politiques qui travaillent la société irakienne. En particulier, les partis – ethno-nationalistes ou religieux – sont à la fois producteurs de violence et intermédiaires obligés entre la population et les institutions étatiques, qui restent l’enjeu ...
Veränderte Stadterneuerungspolitiken in China
"Dies ist eine sehr reichhaltige Monografie, die auf einer beeindruckenden Feldforschung in China basiert und die ausgezeichnete qualitative und ethnografische Forschungsfähigkeiten, Forschungsintegrität und kulturelle Wahrnehmungsfähigkeit in der Analyse demonstriert. Dieses Buch wird einen großen Beitrag zur Literatur über Politiktransfer und -mobilität sowie über Stadtpolitik im zeitgenössischen China leisten, da es ein umfassendes Verständnis der konkreten Praktiken des Transfers und des Lernens 'vom Ausland' bietet."Claire Colomb, Professorin für Urbanistik und Planung am University College London, Großbritannien. Dieses Buch untersucht das Konzept der behutsamen Stadterneuer...
