This course aims at contributing to the ability of
students to analyze analytically and critically the
diversities and vicissitudes of political
institutions, actors, and discourses in
Turkey, as well as, 'continuities and changes' in
Turkish politics. In doing so, the course begins by
discussing the question of how to approach
methodologically to Turkish politics, and then
proceeds by focusing on crucial problem areas,
namely those of institutional problems, societal
changes and demands, and identity
questions. The course attempts to discuss these issues
and problems by locating them at the
international/the domestic nexus. To achieve its
aim, the course involves lectures, class
discussions, and class presentations, and requires
both active student participation and
reading course material before attending the lectures.
