The Rise of Hybrid Political Islam in Turkey
This book charts the economic, social and political rise of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) as well as its political resilience over the last sixteen years. Going beyond the standard dichotomy debate of political Islam versus secularism, the author shows how the JDP, a political party with substantial roots in political Islam, came to power in 2002 as an outcome of the socioeconomic transformation process that started in the country in the 1980s. The book further illustrates how the party consolidated its ruling power by catering to its core constituencies via a multifaceted set of policies that gave rise to the emergence of a powerful political machine. A careful analysis of the JDP...
Performing Post-Tariqa Sufism
This ethnographic research project examines the generation of post-tariqa Tasavvuf (Sufism: a spiritual practice and philosophy recognised as the inner dimension of Islam) in a variety of private, semi-public, public, secular and sacred urban spaces in present-day Turkey. Through extensive field research in minority Sufi communities, this book investigates how devotees of specific orders maintain, adapt, mobilise, and empower their beliefs and values through embodied acts of their Sufi followers. Using an ethnographic methodology and theories derived from performance studies, Esra Çizmeci examines the multiple ways in which the post-tariqa Mevlevi and Rifai practice is formed in present-day...

Western Democracy and the AKP
Upturning the typical view of Turkey’s democratic trajectory as a product of authoritarian assault or unfortunate circumstances, this book argues that the AKP, first elected in 2002, has consistently advanced a narrative of democracy as the work of an elite working for the 'National Will'. Beginning with an analysis of the historical processes that led to the AKP’s rise at the beginning of the 21st century, the book then focuses on the AKP since 2002. Though Turkey’s democratic transition was originally characterised by Western co-operation, the author outlines the gradual deterioration of these relations since the 2010s, as well as the decline of political rights, freedom of expressio...
Freedoms Delayed
According to diverse indices of political performance, the Middle East is the world's least free region. Some believe that it is Islam that hinders liberalization. Others retort that Islam cannot be a factor because the region is no longer governed under Islamic law. This book by Timur Kuran, author of the influential Long Divergence, explores the lasting political effects of the Middle East's lengthy exposure to Islamic law. It identifies several channels through which Islamic institutions, both defunct and still active, have limited the expansion of basic freedoms under political regimes of all stripes: secular dictatorships, electoral democracies, monarchies legitimated through Islam, and theocracies. Kuran suggests that Islam's rich history carries within it the seeds of liberalization on many fronts; and that the Middle East has already established certain prerequisites for a liberal order. But there is no quick fix for the region's prevailing record of human freedoms.

Abschied von Atatürk
Die Türkei verehrt offiziell weiter ihren Gründer Atatürk, doch tatsächlich hat sich das Land unter Präsident Erdogan vom "Vater der Türken" verabschiedet. Die Türkei-Experten Günter Seufert und Christopher Kubaseck beschreiben, wie die Republik autoritär umgepolt wird und dabei keinen Konflikt scheut: Konfrontationen innerhalb der NATO und mit der EU häufen sich, türkisches Militär operiert in immer mehr Ländern, Minderheiten werden unterdrückt und Oppositionelle verfolgt. Die "Alte Türkei" ist Vergangenheit, doch die "Neue Türkei" hat, wie das Buch eindrucksvoll zeigt, noch keinen Weg aus ihren vielen Krisen gefunden. Am 29. Oktober 1923 rief Atatürk die Türkische Republi...
Klâsik Türk Şiirinde Sebk-i Türkistânî/Horâsânî (Türkistan/Horasan Üslûbu)
Kültür, insanlık tarihi boyunca her daim toplumlar için bir gelişme unsuru olmuştur. Toplumların gelişmişliklerinde önemli bir yer tutan kültürün parçalarından birisi de edebiyattır.
