At present, one important issue under discussion is whether Turkey will join the European Community, despite her being a Moslem country. This study shows that religious socialization among university students (N = 1099) is increasing, but not at the expense of democratic values. Although, religious socialization appears to increase, subjects overwhelmingly reject religious discrimination and fundamentalism. The data were collected in 1978 (N = 536) and in 1991 (N = 563), from groups at universities, in Ankara, which included the Faculty of Theological Studies.

The Turkish Parliamentary Elite and the EU: Mapping Attitudes towards the European Union AKSIT, Sait; Şenyuva, Özgehan; Gurleyen, Isik (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) This study aims to map out the opinions and attitudes of the Turkish parliamentary elite regarding Turkey's membership of the European Union in general and the future of Europe in particular. The parliamentary elite group consists of political party representatives present in the current Turkish Grand National Assembly. The study uses the findings of the Turkish Elite Survey 2009 conducted by the Center for European Studies, Middle East Technical University. The article argues that while Turkish parliamenta...
Surveillance of immigrants from Turkey in Germany: From the disciplinary society to the society of control Topal, Çağatay (SAGE Publications, 2011-11-01) The surveillance of immigrants from Turkey in Germany functions on two seemingly contradictory levels: on the one hand, it de facto recognizes their inclusion in German society; on the other hand, it serves as an instrument to exclude them as '(un)suitable' foreign subjects within that society. Since 1961, this surveillance has slowly but surely changed its character. The aim of this article is to examine these changes through the lens of the different characteristics of so-called disciplinary and control s...
Women's Movement in Turkey at a Crossroads: From Women's Rights Advocacy to Feminism Cosar, Simten; Onbasi, Funda Gencoglu (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) The article analyses the current state of the women's movement in Turkey with recourse to its potential to offer an alternative political vision. The article is built on semi-structured interviews with the representatives of six women's rights organizations. The interviews addressed the conceptualization of politics, democracy, civil society and the state in the movement. We argue that the movement is currently at a crossroads. The article aims at deciphering the pros and cons of the achievements of the wom...
Challenges for schools in communities with internal migration flows: evidence from Turkey Akar, Hanife (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) Turkey is a country that has experienced and continues to experience a dramatic degree of both rural-to-urban and inter-regional internal migration. Migrants tend to settle in gecekondu areas in either established inner-city neighborhoods or in newer squatter settlements built on undeveloped land bordering rural areas on the urban periphery. Schools in these areas are invariably impacted by this extensive and unplanned internal migration. This study aimed to examine the challenges facing schools located in ...
Child Poverty and Youth Unemployment in Turkey Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal; Göksel, Asuman (Wiley, 2018-09-01) This article investigates the nature, causes, and consequences of child poverty and youth unemployment in Turkey, which is a transition country between the East and the West. It is argued that this in-betweenness leads to a gap between the intended goals and outcomes of relevant policies. The article places a special emphasis on how the post-1980 neoliberal turn has shaped the policy orientation of successive governments, and transformed the nature of child poverty and youth unemployment in Turkey, making t...
