    Salim Çevik on Turkey's Middle East reset

    Salim Çevik, visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), on his recent paper ”Turkey’s Reconciliation Efforts in the Middle East: Ambitions and Constraints in a Changing Regional Order”. The piece examines Erdogan’s shift away from trying to overthrow the established regional order by supporting Muslim Brotherhood allies, and towards rapprochement with the ruling regimes in Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Syria and others. Our conversation weighs up the successes and failures of this initiative, how it has been impacted by Israel’s Gaza war, and how it could be affected by the results of the US presidential election.

    Orçun Selçuk on populist polarisation in Turkey and Latin America

    Orçun Selçuk, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Luther College, on ”The Authoritarian Divide: Populism, Propaganda, and Polarization” (University of Notre Dame Press).  The book compares what Selçuk calls ”affective leader polarisation” in Turkey under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Venezuela under Hugo Chávez, and Ecuador under Rafael Correa. It shows that Turkey’s experience under the AKP can often be more usefully compared with examples in Latin America than cases of right-wing populism in Europe or Islamism in the Middle East.

    Ezgi Başaran on the new spirit of Islamism

    Ezgi Başaran, journalist and academic at St. Anthony’s College, University of Oxford, on ”The New Spirit of Islamism: Interactions Between the AKP, Ennahda and the Muslim Brotherhood” (IB Tauris). The book looks at the aspirations of Islamist actors in Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt after the Arab Uprisings from 2011 to 2013. Based on interviews with dozens of officials in all three countries at that time, it seeks to understand what motivated them, how they viewed each other, and whether they prioritised pragmatism or religious ideology.

    Samim Akgönül on 100 years of Turkish-Greek relations

    Samim Akgönül, director of the Department of Turkish Studies at the University of Strasbourg, on ”One Hundred Years of Greek-Turkish Relations The Human Dimension of an Ongoing Conflict” (Edinburgh University Press). Based on over two decades of on-the-ground research in Turkey and Greece, the book examines popular conceptions of the other in both countries, showing how lived experience complicates straightforward historical narratives.

    Çağdaş Üngör on Turkey's geopolitical dilemmas in the Asia-Pacific century

    Çağdaş Üngör discusses her recent articles ”A Bridge No More? Turkiye’s Geopolitical Significance in the 21st Century” in the journal Survival and ”A ’Bridge’ Pushed to the Periphery? Turkey’s Geopolitical Significance in the Asia-Pacific Century” in Turkish Studies. The two pieces challenge the popular conception that Ankara is poised to leverage its unique geographical location to rise to greater geopolitical prominence in an emerging multipolar world order. The idea of Turkey having a crucial ”bridge” status goes back decades, but Üngör argues that Ankara in fact risks being sidelined as power and attention shift to Asia and divisions deepen between the US and China. Çağdaş Üngör is professor of political science at Istanbul’s Marmara University, non-resident fellow at Washington’s Middle East Institute and fellow at SWP Berlin’s Center for Applied Turkey Studies.

    Karabekir Akkoyunlu on religion and democracy in Turkey and Iran

    Karabekir Akkoyunlu, Lecturer in Politics and International Studies at SOAS, on ”Guardianship and Democracy in Iran and Turkey: Tutelary Consolidation, Popular Contestation” (Edinburgh University Press). The book makes the case that the political systems under the clergy in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the military in the Republic of Turkey have had surprising similarities - as well as important differences. The conversation also considers how the two systems have transformed in recent decades, as well as how present-day social and political power struggles are shifting the landscape in both countries.

    Eugene Rogan on communal violence and the end of the old Ottoman world

    Eugene Rogan, professor of modern Middle Eastern history at the University of Oxford, on ”The Damascus Events: The 1860 Massacre and the Destruction of the Old Ottoman World” (Allen Lane). The book examines how in July 1860 Damascus exploded in communal violence, when a mostly Muslim crowd tried to exterminate the Christian community - a shocking eruption of violence after hundreds of years of relative peace and coexistence. It looks at why tensions built up in the decades before 1860, as well as how the Ottoman authorities oversaw recovery of the region in the aftermath.

    Umit Kurt on Gaziantep's forgotten Armenian past

    Umit Kurt, assistant professor of history at the University of Newcastle, Australia, on ”The Armenians of Aintab: The Economics of Genocide in an Ottoman Province” (Harvard University Press). The book draws on Armenian, Ottoman, Turkish, British and French archives, memoirs, personal papers, oral accounts and property liquidation records, to detail the dispossession of Antep’s historic Armenian community and the transfer of their wealth and resources to Ottoman and later Turkish Muslim elites.
