Publication Metadata only A Precarious Relationship: The Alevi Minority, The Turkish State And The EU(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon Ox14 4Rn, Oxfordshire, England, 2011) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; Çarkoğlu, Ali; TR112265; TR125588Over the last decade, the political significance of the Alevis, the largest sectarian Muslim minority in Turkey, has notably changed. This article aims to evaluate the Alevi community's changing stance as a sectarian minority within an increasingly conservative Turkish society facing European Union (EU) membership negotiations. We first of all summarise the characteristics of the Alevi community and contextualise the changing role of the Alevi minority in Turkish politics. We focus on Alevi demands as part of the EU adjustment reforms and negotiation process, and present the official responses from the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government as well as the EU authorities.Publication Metadata only Alevis in Turkish Politics(2011) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; Çarkoğlu, Ali; 112265; 125588Publication Metadata only Avrupa’da Seçmen Davranışı: Bölgesel Farklılıkların Analizi(2014) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265Elections are central elements of democratic systems as they provide the public with the opportunity – with some restrictions established by legal arrangements such as quotas – to make their voices heard. In other words, it is through election results that we learn a great deal about the social and political circumstances in a country. This paper follows the electoral trends in European countries since the beginning of the 1990s as far as the data makes it possible. In order to create a comprehensive analysis, turnout rates, voter preferences and other major determinants shaping preferences – whether influential economic or identity factors – are considered. Europe is defined, in this research, as all of the EU member states, making a highly complicated and heterogeneous collection. As the trends in these different countries can be expected to diverge, a regional comparison between Western, Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe is provided so that the similar and different electoral trends in these regions are presented clearly.Publication Metadata only Bridging the Gender Gap in Turkish Politics: The actors promoting female representation(2011) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265Gender gap is still persistent in Turkey in diff erent areas despite the fact that policies and measures pertaining to gender equality have been improved in the past couple of years. Believing in the prominence of gender gap in politics due to the authority of decision-making that belongs to the political fi gures, this article focuses on the increase –although slow- in female representation in the Turkish Parliament with a special focus on the last two general elections that were held under the infl uence of massive campaigns by women’s organizations. The last general elections held on June 12, 2011 marked an approximately 60% increase in the number of women parliamentarians which rose from 48 to 78. The article argues that three actors –civic actors, international actors namely the EU and the representatives of the Kurdish movement- have been infl uential in this increase by raising media and public attention on the topic. The campaigns that attracted great attention in the media, the emphasis of the EU progress reports on gender equality and the 40% gender quota applied among the Kurdish parliamentarians are some of the topics discussed with regard to their infl uence on the recent increase in female representation in Turkey.Publication Metadata only Damit wir ein neues Vokabular erschaffen“ der linksislamische İslami Sol in der Türkei(2018) Dinç, Cüneyt; Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265Publication Metadata only Islamist Movements in Turkey(2010) Çarkoğlu, Ali; Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 125588; 112265Publication Metadata only Religiosity and Support for Democracy: A Contribution to the Compatibility Debate Through a Comparative Perspective(2015) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265Publication Metadata only Religiosity and tolerance in Turkey: Is Islam the problem?(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon Ox14 4Rn, Oxfordshire, England, 2015-10-02) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265This study analyses the impact of religiosity on tolerance in Turkey, where social divisions are deep, and where religiosity is one significant source of such divisions. In going beyond survey research studies which limit the discussion to individuals' levels of tolerance, this analysis aims to provide a deeper understanding of tolerance through qualitative interviews that make use of a series of vignettes. In such interviews, the respondents are consulted about their attitude towards various out-groups, with the design of the vignettes illuminating the sensitivity of such attitudes to variation in the forms of relationships described. Besides the majority/minority division, the polarizing impact of the religious/secular divide is also investigated. The findings suggest that intolerance is a common problem within Turkish society amongst both religious and secular communities, and that religious and secular respondents exhibit different preferences amongst the out-groups. Moreover, this study reveals that attitudes towards out-groups are sensitive to the form of relationships depicted.Publication Metadata only The Rising Islamic Left in Turkey(2018) Bilgili, Nazlı Çağın; 112265
