Australia and the burqa and niqab debate: the society, the state and cautious activism / Yasmeen, Samina   Journal Article
Yasmeen, Samina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This paper locates the discussion on wearing niqab and burqa within the context of information acquisition and response formation among Muslims and non-Muslims in the contemporary world. The paper argues that, against the backdrop of varied opinions on Islam and Muslims around the world, the debate on wearing burqa represents the continuation - albeit up-scaling - of the focus on Muslim women as the signifiers of Islam and Muslim identities. Australia is influenced by, and dealing with, the debate on whether or not to ban the burqa and niqab. Opinions among both the wider community and Muslims have differed on the justification and advisability of such a ban. The Australian government at the federal and state levels has demonstrated cautious activism in dealing with the issue, thus protecting the rights of Australian Muslim minorities, and reducing the space in which a heightened sense of exclusion could develop among them.

Double-helix entanglements of transnational advocacy: Moral conservative resistance to LGBTI rights / Stoeckl, Kristina; Ayoub, Phillip M   Journal Article
Stoeckl, Kristina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The rights of people who are marginalised by their sexual orientation and gender identity (LGBTI) have improved in many countries. Largely, these achievements can be traced back to the ‘spiral model’ of factors including transnational mobilisation by the LGBTI rights movement, the actions of a few pioneering governments, and advances in the human rights frameworks of some international organisations (IOs). Yet a rising and increasingly globally connected resistance works against LGBTI rights. It rests predominantly in the hands of a transnational advocacy network (TAN) that attempts to lay claim to international human rights law by reinterpreting it. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork and 240 interviews with LGBTI, anti-LGBTI, and state and IO actors, this article explores how the conservative TAN functions, in terms of who comprises it and how its agenda is constructed. We argue that this TAN has employed many of the same transnational tools that garnered LGBTIQ people their widespread recognition. It also conforms to the spiral model of rights diffusion, but in a process we call a double helix. As the double-helix metaphor suggests, rival TANs have a reciprocal relationship, having to navigate each other’s presence in an interactive space and thus using related strategies and instruments for mutually exclusive ends.

Education, media and civil society: the building of an Islamic cultural hegemony in Turkey / Kirdis, Esen   Journal Article
Kirdis, Esen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Turkish economy is in freefall with rising inflation, unemployment, poverty and income inequality. Yet, the incumbent Justice and Development Party (JDP) continues to get the support of roughly one-third of the voters according to the latest surveys. Although this is a long way from the peak of the party when it was getting half the overall votes a decade ago, it is nevertheless a significant proportion of the voter base. What explains such a vote? More generally, why do people vote against their own material interests? Looking at the JDP’s twenty-year incumbency, it can be argued that the JDP created party identification amongst a particular set of Turkish voters by utilising religious institutions, the education system, the media and civil society to construct its cultural hegemony.

Menachem Begin’s attitude to religion and the 1977 ‘political upheaval’ / Don-Yehiya, Eliezer   Journal Article
Don-Yehiya, Eliezer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The image of Herut as characterised by a strong linkage to Jewish religious tradition had a profound impact in the Israeli political arena. It motivated many of the religious and traditional public to support this party and later its successor, Likud. It also provided an incentive for the religious parties to join the government coalitions headed by Likud in the wake of the ‘political reversal’ of 1967. In this way, the public image of Likud as a ‘religious oriented party’ significantly contributed to the transformation of political power from Labour to Likud.

Obscuring the control of the state in Turkey: the articulation of discourse of private Islam / Keto-Tokoi, Riina Maria   Journal Article
Keto-Tokoi, Riina Maria Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In 2012, the main opposition party in Turkey, the CHP, accused the ruling AKP of making ideological and unscientific educational reforms. By using discourse analysis, this study examines the debate in the Committee on National Education, Culture, Youth and Sport of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and scrutinizes how politicians articulate the discourse of private Islam. Furthermore, it explicates how this discourse obscures the state’s power over Islam. Although the parties advocated different educational policies in the 2012 debate, their articulation reinforces the hegemonic configuration of power by which the state as a public institution controls private Islam.

Politicization of religion: political Catholicism and political Islam in comparative perspective / Altinordu, Ates   Journal Article
Altinordu, Ates Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract While religious politics have been a widely discussed topic in the social sciences in recent decades, few studies develop general explanations based on systematic and detailed comparative analysis. This article seeks to explain when and how successful religious parties rise. To that end, I comparatively analyze the politicization of German Catholicism in the second half of the nineteenth century (1848-1878) and Turkish Islam in the post-1970 period (1970-2002) and briefly examine the negative case of nineteenth-century German Protestantism. According to the theory of revival-reaction-politicization I propose, successful religious parties rise when major religious revivals confront social counter-mobilization and state repression, provided that existing political parties do not effectively represent religious defense. The study's findings challenge the pervasive tendency to treat Christian and Islamic politics as incommensurable.
