Abstract

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has been in power since 2002. This book is the first book-length analysis to chart the rise and development of the party from its Islamist roots through to government, analysing in particular its internal organisation and dynamics. Since its foundation in 2001, the AKP seems to have been more successful than any other party with an Islamic background in the history of the Turkish Republic. Drawing on interviews and analyses of quantitative data from primary and secondary sources, the author examines the party's character as an organisation, its inter

Abstract

Turkey is ninty-nine per cent Muslim, its ruling party, Justice and Development Party (JDP), comes from but denies its Islamist pedigree and has a very secular feel. However, the deeply secular regime distrusts the JDP with regard to its 'true' colours. This book makes sense of these paradoxical perceptions which have characterized Turkey's politics since the JDP has come to power in 2002. The key momentum for shaping the nature and trajectories of the ruling party of Turkey since 2002, the JDP, has been the 'identity' question. The JDP's commitment to transform Turkey's polit

Abstract

The start of accession talks between Turkey and the European Union presents an important challenge for Europe and the Muslim world. Although Turkey has often been cited as a model for the accommodation of Islam and secularism, Islam is still a profound factor in Turkish politics. The emergence of a new Turkey explores the conditions under which an Islamic movement or party ceases to be Islamic. It explains the social, economic, and historical origins of the ruling Justice and Development Party, which evolved from Turkey's half-century-old Islamic National Outlook movement, and focuses on the interplay between internal and external forces in the transformation of political Islam into a conservative democratic party. The book also discusses the effect of neoliberal economic policies in Turkey, offering keen insight into one of the most successful transformations of an Islamic movement in the Muslim world.

Abstract

Turkish politics were remarkably reshaped in the early 2000s following the decline of the Islamist National View and the electoral breakthrough of the new Justice and Development Party (JDP) headed by Erdoğan. Beside its Islamist credentials, Erdoğan's JDP consistently and convincingly presented itself as the 'populist' defender of the downtrodden sectors of Turkish society. However, with Erdoğan's rise as the popularly elected president in 2014, Turkey's already fragile democratic system was driven in a more authoritarian direction. Shifting the focus away from structural factors, this book analyzes the political appeal and organisation of the JDP that granted them such unprecedented electoral resilience. With critical but accessible theoretical discussions, Toygar Sinan Baykan locates the JDP within the wider literature of populism, Islamist party politics, party organisations and authoritarianism. Over fifty in-depth interviews also help to relate the intimate story of Turkey's socio-cultural divides and the JDP's intraparty organisational dynamics, thereby offering a fresh account of Turkish politics.

Abstract

In 2002 the Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) swept to power in Turkey. Since then it has shied away from a hard-line ideological stance in favour of a more conservative and democratic approach. In this book, M. Hakan Yavuz negotiates this ambivalence asking whether it is possible for a political party with a deeply religious ideology to liberalise and entertain democracy or whether, as he contends, radical religious groups moderate their practices and ideologies when forced to negotiate a competitive and rule-based political system. The author explores the thesis through an analysis of the rise and evolution of the AKP and its more recent 2007 election victory. The book, which tackles a number of important issues including political participation, economics and internal security, provides a masterful survey of modern Turkish and Islamic politics, which will be of interest to a broad range of readers from students to professionals and policymakers.

Abstract

Présentation de l'éditeur : "Cet ouvrage a pour objet les relations entre les syndicats, les partis politiques et l'Etat en Turquie sous le gouvernement AKP (2002-2015). Cette recherche soulève la question du rôle des institutions étatiques dans la production des champs (ce qui renvoie à la question, désormais classique en sociologie de l'action publique, des processus de sectorisation). Ce travail est original en tant qu'il s'intéresse à un objet sous-étudié, et notamment négligé par la science politique, le monde syndical en Turquie. Il apporte un éclairage nouveau et inédit sur les relations entre champs syndical et politique et permet de comprendre les ressorts du régime politique turc. Il livre une synthèse du fonctionnement et des enjeux syndicaux dans un pays marqué ces dernières années par une croissance économique importante, mais aussi des bouleversements inédits des modes de production et du fonctionnement du monde du travail. En étudiant les variations sectorielles et territoriales, ce travail aborde également différentes questions comme les relations de travail, l'emploi et la précarité. A ce titre, cet ouvrage permet une meilleure compréhension des mutations économiques et politiques dans la Turquie contemporaine. Ce travail contribue, à partir du cas turc, aux réflexions plus générales sur le fonctionnement des régimes politiques au concret, sur la sociologie des champs sociaux et sur le syndicalisme. Isil Erdinç teste empiriquement, sur un terrain non occidental, des questions de sociologie politique générale (modalités de la conversion des capitaux, de l'imbrication de logiques sectorielles, logiques d'influences et effets d'asymétrie entre champs sociaux). Le caractère multiscalaire de son enquête lui permet de nuancer les homologies selon les échelles, et de montrer avec beaucoup de finesse les espaces de résistance locaux, soit les limites que les configurations locales opposent aux homologies et transferts observables au niveau national. Cette recherche ouvre des pistes comparatives d'un grand intérêt, qu'il s'agisse de la comparaison des régimes politiques, ou, plus généralement, de l'analyse des modes de fonctionnement « souterrains » de l'Etat. Le travail repose sur une enquête de terrain, de longue durée (plusieurs séjours de terrain en Turquie d'un à trois mois entre 2011 et 2015). Elle a associé une centaine d'entretiens individuels semi-directifs avec des dirigeants et permanents syndicaux et des observations dans les syndicats"

Abstract

Since the elections of 2002, Erdogan's AKP has dominated the political scene in Turkey. This period has often been understood as a break from a 'secular' pattern of state-building. But in this book, Ceren Lord shows how Islamist mobilisation in Turkey has been facilitated from within the state by institutions established during early nation-building. Lord thus challenges the traditional account of Islamist AKP's rise that sees it either as a grassroots reaction to the authoritarian secularism of the state or as a function of the state's utilisation of religion. Tracing struggles within the state, Lord also shows how the state's principal religious authority, the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) competed with other state institutions to pursue Islamisation. Through privileging Sunni Muslim access to state resources to the exclusion of others, the Diyanet has been a key actor ensuring persistence and increasing salience of religious markers in political and economic competition, creating an amenable environment for Islamist mobilisation.

Abstract

Sowohl der »Arabische Frühling« als auch das Erstarken der dschihadistischen Kampfgruppe »Islamischer Staat« haben die diversen islamistischen Bewegungen in den Fokus der medialen und publizistischen Aufmerksamkeit rücken lassen. Auf der Basis der Gesellschaftstheorie der Politik Niklas Luhmanns untersucht Thorsten Hasche mit der AKP, der al-Qaida und der Muslimbruderschaft drei zentrale Bewegungen des sunnitischen Islamismus. Historisch und vergleichend nimmt er dabei ihre Vordenker, ihre politischen Ideologien und ihre Strukturen in den Blick. Es wird deutlich: Der sunnitische politische Islam wird auch mittelfristig ein wirkmächtiger Bestandteil des weltpolitischen Systems bleiben. »Eine aktuelle, komplexe und fachübergreifende Analyse des Islamismus.« Dieter Bach, www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 15.09.2015 Besprochen in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 06.08.2015, Ulrich Heisterkamp VKRG inform, 4 (2015)
