Neoliberalism and Global Insecurities
In this edited volume, the authors argue how neo-liberal subjects respond to neoliberal uncertainties, risks, and threats in Turkey through either resilience or resistance, -or both-. The contributors form the book into two symbiotic axes. First, they display how global capitalism and neo-liberalism affect the neo-liberal subjects and their environment from different perspectives, and generate their vulnerabilities in Turkey. Moreover , they reveal how neo-liberal subjects execute resilience/resistance in order to survive against the vulnerabilities created by neo-liberalism and its agents. In doing so, the contributors demonstrate how resilience/resistance of neoliberal subjects makes themselves political. They show this by focusing on resistance and resilience from a variety of Turkish perspectives, including environmental groups, social classes, social media, and gender.
Queer Turkey
Before President Erdogan's repressive politics took hold, queer cultures were more visible than ever in Turkey. Queer Turkey offers a broad range of reflections on queer Turkish cultures within a transnational, Euro-American context. Based on his experience in Istanbul, Ralph J. Poole shares his impressions of queer desires between Muslim tradition and global pop, observes what goes on in the hamam, and wonders about Arabesk culture. The book features discussions of queer travel writers, poets, playwrights, and film directors. Their multifarious works manifest the subtle and subversive ways in which artists crisscross the cultural borders of East and West. With its many facets of Turkish-Euro-American cultural interactions, Queer Turkey outlines a kaleidoscope of transnational poetics.
Islam in the Netherlands
Suspicion and clashes accompany the settlement of Muslims in European cultures. This book explores a case in point: Muslims in the Netherlands. Both Muslim and non-Muslim authors contribute to the debate about the future of Islam in this new context. Contributions range from the position of Muslim women in debates about the headscarf to the attempts by Muslims to set up a viable academic training centre for imams. To allow cross-cultural comparissions the volume also contains reflections from other parts of Europe.
La conception turque de la laïcité
La laïcité, telle qu'elle est appliquée en Turquie, est aujourd'hui l'un des obstacles majeurs à l'adhésion de ce pays à l'UE. En enfermant la religion dans un cadre bien établi, la conception autoritaire de la laïcité a permis à la nation turque d'accéder à la modernité, mais a ralenti le développement de la démocratie. L'auteur prône d'autres moyens permettant de protéger le caractère laïque de l'Etat contre le danger d'islamisation et de garantir les droits et libertés fondamentaux.

Societal Peace and Ideal Citizenship for Turkey
Globalisation and neo-liberalism have been impacting the nation-state and leading the full citizenship concept into crisis, not only in Turkey but also in the world. While one reason for this crisis is the decline of the welfare state, another reason stems from the fluidity of borders that distorts the classical patterns of the nation-state such as meta-identity. The existing Turkish citizenship inherited a strong state idea with passive citizenship tradition from the Ottoman Empire. However, this understanding is no longer sustainable for Turkish society. The definition of citizenship through state-led nationalism, secularism, and a free market economy creates societal crises in politics and society. The aim of this book is to find out the answer of what should be the ideal citizenship regime for Turkey. Various scholars dealing with Turkish socio-politics analyze different aspects and problems of Turkish citizenship regime that should be tackled for finding a recipe for ideal citizenship in Turkey.
