Since before the publication of New Perspectives on Turkey’s spring 2023 issue, politics has been at the top of the agenda of public discussions in Turkey. The reason was the general elections for the presidency and the parliament on May 14; in the run-off on May 28, Recep Tayyip Erdogan was re-elected for a third, five-year term and the party ˘ he leads, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi; AKP), maintained its majority in the parliament in an alliance with the Nationalist Action Party (Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi; MHP) and smaller extremist parties. To what extent and how quickly the election results will lead to a further descent into full authoritarianism – already well documented in the pages of previous NPT issues – is something that social scientists are likely to continue to observe. Domestic politics therefore will continue to be an important theme for social science research on Turkey from diverse disciplines and methodologies

(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015) Cindoglu, Dilek; Unal, Didem; 0000-0002-2741-9181; AGÜ; Cindoglu, Dilek
Sex scandals in politics lead to intense public debates about fundamental issues, such as morality, publicity, and privacy, rendering gender inequalities more visible than ever. This article aims to reveal the complex gendered dynamics of the political culture by looking at sex scandals in contemporary Turkey. The ways in which these scandals have been narrated, negotiated, and resolved among the public and political actors provide grounds for analysis about the nature of patriarchal dynamics regarding women's agency and public credibility communicated through their sexuality in contemporary Turkey.

(Sakarya Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2018) Balkılıç, Özgür; 0000-0002-0309-583X; AGÜ; Balkılıç, Özgür
After 1945, Western countries witnessed the awakening of the Third World.People of underdeveloped countries, who had been subjected to domination bydeveloped Western countries, showed an interest towards a project of the ThirdWorld; the underlying motto of which was shaped by disarmament, peace, andsocial and economic justice. This project aimed to embody a radical break fromthe economic, political, social, and cultural paths which were devised in the Westand then imposed on the rest of the world. This paper will analyze thehistoriography of this project. In this context, this paper will approach suchliterature from the lenses of social movements that emerged in the Third World,of nation states and of international relations. Through social movements, it willfirstly focus on the people’s struggles in the different regions of the so-calledThird World. Secondly, the paper will analyze academic works whose mainsubject is the anti-imperialist struggles of different nationalist governments. Andlastly, it will criticise scholarly works on the Non-Alignment Movement, which pursued an anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist political agenda at theinternational level.
Parenting and education: Navigating class, religiosity and secularity in Istanbul
(Routledge, 2023) Kolluoğlu, Biray; Dinçer, Evren Mehmet; 0000-0002-7813-0919; AGÜ; Dinçer, Evren Mehmet
This article studies the educational choices that secular and religious professional and managerial middle-class parents in Istanbul make for their children. It explores the ways in which class intersects with religion in Turkey where, politics, culture, social, and even economic life are marked by a deep divide among the religious and the secular. Focusing on a particular segment of the middle classes, that with higher economic and social capital, the article brings to fore the ways in which religiosity and secularity structure the processes of transforming privileges into acquired rights in the form of educational qualifications and extracurricular skills. It explores the current sociological conjuncture that bereaves both groups, albeit in different ways, of their ability to fully mobilize their accumulated economic, social, and cultural capitals in reproducing their class position in their children. The article argues that exploring the parenting of education along the secular and the religious divide can unravel the foundational elements of the ongoing competition and conflict in Turkey and enables a deeper understanding of the current divide and the potential for a future reconciliation. The study relies on a qualitative study that entails interviews with thirty families and two focus groups.
