In this study, radical socialist articles written on feminism, the feminist movement and the woman question published between 1987 and 1994 in Turkey are examined. The study attempts at describing, classifying and analyzing the Turkish socialist discourse manifested in response to the emergence of feminism in Turkey. It is argued that the Turkish socialists̕ approaches to feminism and the feminists do not differ much, nor a change in their approaches with time can be observed. It is also argued that the theoretical content of the radical socialist articles is usually futile and far from being comprehensive.

Socialism and nationalism in the third world in the age of third worldism Doğan, Erkan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2017-12) This article investigates the relationship between socialism and nationalism with a special emphasis on its Third Worldist variant.

Socialism was understood within this Third Worldist moment in terms of a nation’s political and economic liberation fro...
