Turkey has been undergoing a dramatic change fueled by the twin dynamics of commodification of commons and conservative authoritarianism by the AKP led government. Urban space has been at the hearth of this project which have created an immense conflict and a radical split in the society. Gezi uprising emerged as a reaction both to such policies which have been companied by increasing authoritarianism of the government and to the failure of the insitutional political field in responding to such divisive policies. As an ongoing process Gezi has emerged as a political mobilisation from without the insitutional political field by challenging not only to the dominant urban policies but also to the well accepted rules of the political field. As an unusual political form, Gezi uprising has been a bottom-up populist mobilisation which brought vast array of group and organisations together around a demand without a clear leadership. Likewise, Gezi uprising has produced its own distinctive spatial practices as well as representational spaces and spaces of representation in a short space of time. Nonetheless, it is still early to judge whether the Gezi uprising could be deemed as an event creating durable changes in the dominant structures and relations.

Opposition for the sake of opposition Polarized Pluralism in Turkish Politics Şenyuva, Özgehan (2009-01-01) This article examines the current state of Turkish politics and the positions of the two main opposition parties—the Republican People's Party and Nationalist Action Party--on the major issues. The article argues that rather than formulating alternative sociopolitical and economic policies, both opposition parties partake in a merely partisan debate. This in turn partly discredits them as engaging in unconstructive criticism for their own political gain.
Modernism and the peasantry : the case of Turkey Çaya, Sinan; Ecevit, Mehmet Cihan; Department of Sociology (2013) The Turkish Republican Revolution followed the National Struggle for the independence of the remaining Turkish-Moslem sections of the former Ottoman State. The radical nature and the sudden occurrence of the following revolution caused the periphery of the country to accept all novelties only with reluctance and resistance. Indeed, the Turkish peasant does possess some collective traits, which are possible to distinguish him from town and city and even town dwellers. Turkey has been considered an agrarian s...
Nationalist conservatism and its enemies: communists, jews, donmehs and free masons in Büyük Doğu, Serdengeçti and Sebilürreşad Karakuş, Ece; Erdoğan, Necmi; Department of Media and Cultural Studies (2014) This study offers an analysis of the representation of the enemies for nationalist conservative discourse, which has an ongoing influence on the present day Turkish right-wing politics. It aims to illuminate how and why the communists, Jews, Donmehs and Free Masons are articulated as the enemies vis-a-vis the Turkish nation in the discourse of nationalist conservative intellectuals, including Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Osman Yüksel Serdengeçti and Eşref Edib Fergan. To this aim, the periodicals of Büyük Doğu, S...
Regime Change in Contemporary Turkey: Politics, Rights, Mimesis Polat, Necati (Edinburgh University Press , 2016-08-01) Turkey has undergone a series of upheavals in its political regime from the mid-19th century. This book details the most recent change, locating it in its broader historical setting. Beginning with the Justice and Development Party’s rule from late 2002, supported by a broad informal coalition that included liberals, the book shows how the former Islamists gradually acquired full power between 2007 and 2011. It then describes the subsequent phase, looking at politics and rights under the amorphous new order.
The Erdoganization of Turkish politics and the role of the opposition Selcuk, Orcun; Hekimci, Dilara; Erpul, Onur (2019-10-01) This article examines the personalization of Turkish politics during Recep Tayyip Erdogan's third term as prime minister. While many studies focus on the prime minister's growing personal domination of the executive branch, we consider how leaders of the opposition reflected and reinforced that trend. To test our hypotheses on this 'Erdoganization,' we employed a content analysis to consider Kemal Kilicdaroglu and Devlet Bahceli's speeches at weekly parliamentary group meetings of the CHP and the MHP. Our f...
