Islamic revitalization in Turkey : an urban model of a "counter-society" a case study

The question of the West in the ideology of revivalism : perspectives from Mawlana Abu’l- a‘la Mawdudi, Sayyid Qutb and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini Aras, Esra; Dağı, İhsan Duran; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) This thesis surveys the response of the ideology of 20th century Islamic revival to the West and the Western-inspired regimes at home. Based on J.S. Mill’s “method of difference, it compares the ideological perspectives of the prominent figures of Islamic revival: Mawlana Abu’l-A‘la Mawdudi in Indio-Pakistan, Sayyid Qutb in Egypt and Ruhollah Khomeini in Iran.

Phase transition in compact QED3 and the Josephson junction Onemli, VK; Tas, M; Tekin, Bayram (2001-08-01) We study the finite temperature phase transition in 2+1 dimensional compact QED and its dual theory: Josephson junction. Duality of these theories at zero temperature was established long time ago in [1]. Phase transition in compact QED is well studied thus we employ the 'duality' to study the superconductivity phase transition in a Josephson junction. For a thick junction we obtain a critical temperature in terms of the geometrical properties of the junction.
Making of new Islamism in Turkey transformation of the Islamist discourse from opposition to compliance Özçetin, Burak; Ayata, Ayşe; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2011) This thesis analyzes the transformation of Islamism from an anti-systemic and oppositional force to a compliant and submissive political ideology.

To give the contours of this transformation, the thesis presents a detailed analysis of anti-systemic and systemic p...
