Yayın 1001 nights with animus(Pluto Journals, 2021-06) Demiralp, SedaThis paper provides a Jungian interpretation of the frame story of 1001 Nights. Using a psychodynamic approach, the key characters in the frame story are considered as different pieces of the female psyche during the journey of individuation. This reveals the story’s hidden content about inner enemies of the female psyche, such as a tyrannical animus that feeds from an oppressive environment. With a happy ending that represents the union of the ego and the animus, 1001 Nights highlights a path to women’s empowerment and social harmony that involves facing inner and outer demons. The essay also argues that with its emphasis on freedoms as a source of individual and social peace, 1001 Nights captures the Zeitgeist of the period from which it emerged, namely 9th-century Abbasid rule, particularly under the reign of Caliph al-Mamun.Yayın “Biraderler rejimi”nden “zorba biraderin rejimi”ne: otoriter sağ popülizm, liberal demokrasi ve toplumsal cinsiyet(Rasim Özgür DÖNMEZ, 2023-06-13) Demiralp, Seda; Sayan Cengiz, FeydaOtoriter sağ popülizmin yükselişinde, anti-feminist ve reaksiyoner söylem ve politikaların etkili olduğu, sağ popülist liderlerin siyasi iletişim ve üsluplarında da erkeklik vurgusunun yoğunluğu, popülizme toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifinden bakan araştırmacıların sıklıkla vurguladığı bir nokta olagelmiştir. Bu çalışma, otoriter sağ popülist liderlerin, liberal demokrasiye itiraz ederken, neden agresif bir maskülinist söylemi merkeze aldığı sorusuna yanıt aramaktadır. Otoriter sağ popülizm, liberal demokrasinin temsil ve çoğulculuk anlayışına karşı çıkarken nasıl bir toplumsal cinsiyet tahayyülüyle hareket etmektedir? Bu soruya yanıt ararken, feminist teorinin liberal demokrasi eleştirisinden ve analitik bir araç olarak aile metaforundan, özellikle de “kardeşler arası ilişkiler” metaforundan yararlanıyoruz. Çalışmada, otoriter sağ popülizmin, halkı homojen bir yapı olarak, lideri ise halk ile yekvücut olarak kurgulayışına odaklanıyor ve farklılıklara karşı takınılan agresif tavrın temelindeki toplumsal cinsiyet tahayyüllerinin analizini sunuyoruz.Yayın Can money make us friends?: Islamist entrepreneurs and chances for democratization in the muslim world(2010-04-16) Demiralp, SedaIslamist movements have grown persistently in the last few decades and became major actors in the politics of various Muslim nations, receiving attention in numerous popular studies. Many of those studies, however, focus their attention solely on the religious agenda of these actors, despite the fact that economic interests are highly influential in shaping the agendas of them. In contrast to popular studies that focus on the “ideologues” in Islamist parties, this article emphasizes the role of “pragmatists,” especially Islamist businessmen in Islamist politics. By comparing and contrasting the transformation of Islamist parties and institutions in Turkey, Indonesia, and Sudan, this article suggests that contemporary Islamist movements in these countries are not solely concerned with “Islamizing the society” but often seek an economic mobilization against established economic elites and to transfer wealth to their constituencies. It then explores whether Islamist businessmen can serve as a moderating influence in Islamist politics and, if so, under what circumstances.Yayın Covid-19, populism, and political change in Turkey(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2021-12) Demiralp, SedaCOVID-19 hit Turkey in the middle of an economic crisis and a rivalry between Erdogan's populist government and opposition mayors, particularly Istanbul mayor Imamoglu. The pandemic's impact on this rivalry will depend on how their support groups are affected. Citizens' increased tolerance of submission to a central authority and their increased dependence on economic assistance could contribute to Erdogan's position, while a lack of available funds to distribute would threaten it. Meanwhile, Imamoglu has successfully been using certain elements of populism like his rival, but with more concern for democracy and sustainability. If he retains his popularity, the nightmare of the ruling party may come true: Imamoglu could run against Erdogan in the 2023 presidential elections with a good chance of winning.Yayın Debating voter defection in Turkey(Routledge, 2023-10-20) Balta, Evren; Demiralp, Seda; Demiralp, SelvaThis study examines patterns of voter defection from Turkey’s incumbent AKP amid major economic and democratic decline. As in other electoral autocracies, defectors constitute a small but politically significant group in Turkey, where the opposition’s ability to secure a transition from authoritarianism depends on reducing the incumbent’s vote share. Based on survey data gathered in November 2021 and February 2022, we find that while the high level of partizanship among AKP voters hinders defection, persistent economic and democratic decline still reduces incumbent support. We also found that defections are higher outside of the lowest income group. Our findings have important implications for opposition strategies in electoral autocracies. Directing public debate away from identity issues to economic and democratic problems increases the likelihood of defection. In addition, offering voters clear superior alternatives decreases the cost of uncertainty that comes with change and increases the likelihood of defection.Yayın Defeating populists: the case of 2019 Istanbul elections(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-01-02) Demiralp, Seda; Balta, EvrenHow can populist competitive authoritarian regimes be defeated through elections? In this article, we focus on the 2019 municipal campaign strategy of the opposition Istanbul candidate Ekrem Imamoglu as a case study of a successful challenge to a populist competitive authoritarian regime. We argue that such regimes may be prone to defeat when their opponents use what we call an 'inverted populist' strategy. This strategy involves three key elements: adopting an indirect and gradualist approach that avoids direct confrontation with the populist leader and the popular values s/he represents, redefining the 'the people' by including previously excluded groups, and promising redistribution to disadvantaged groups.Yayın Yayın Erosion of Central Bank independence in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-01-01) Demiralp, Seda; Demiralp, SelvaThis study provides empirical analysis to show increasing pressures over the Central Bank of Turkey (CBT) throughout the past decade where the CBT gives into such pressures, despite the Central Bank Law, which ensures tool independence. The study suggests that the relations between the government and the CBT reflect recent political changes where the government increased its control over state institutions, following rising costs of losing office. However, this trend not only has economic costs such as a restricted capacity to achieve price stability and sustainable growth but it also limits horizontal accountability of state institutions.Yayın Kadın hareketlerinde adaptif stratejiler: Türkiye’de kadına yönelik şiddetle mücadele örneği(Marmara Üniversitesi, 2019-12-30) Demiralp, SedaTürkiye’deki kadına yönelik şiddetle mücadele hareketinde son yıllarda stratejik adaptasyon yönteminin benimsendiği görülmektedir. Seküler ve İslami kadın hakları savunucularının koalisyonu sonucu ortaya çıkan bu hareket şiddetle mücadele taleplerini “kadın-erkek eşitliği”ni vurgulayan feminist söylem yerine mevcut hükümetin vurgu yaptığı “kadının aile içindeki önemi”ne referans yaparak adapte etmiş, yani “uyumlandırmış,” bu çerçevede kadına yönelik şiddetin aile yapısını sarstığını öne sürmüştür. Bu söylemsel uyumlandırma ve koalisyon stratejilerine ek olarak kadınların hükümet kurumlarıyla birlikte hareket etme, onları kendi yanlarına çekme yoluna gittiği, devlet kurumlarını protesto eden, çatışmacı yaklaşımların ise azaldığı görülmektedir. Malezya ve Mısır gibi Müslüman toplumlardaki kadın hakları hareketlerinin seyri incelenip karşılaştırıldığında bunlarda da son yirmi yılda benzer stratejilere yönelindiği görülmektedir. Bir başka deyişle, Müslüman “kızkardeşlerin” benzer siyasi kısıtlara ve fırsatlara benzer tepkiler verdikleri ve birbirlerinden ders alarak stratejik repertuarlarını geliştirdiklerini söyleyebiliriz.Yayın Keloğlan’dan Köse Değirmenciye: Kâmil erkekliğin inşası(Motif Yayıncılık, 2022-12-18) Demiralp, SedaBu çalışma Jungiyen bir yaklaşımla Keloğlan masallarının kamil erkekliğin inşası hakkında bize neler söylediğini inceleyecektir. Makalede “Keloğlan ve Dev Anası” ve “Keloğlan ve Köse Değirmenci” masalları Jungiyen metotla analiz edilecektir. Bu masallar bir tekamülü ya da Jungiyen tabirle bir bireyleşme sürecini betimlemektedir. Bir arada incelendiğinde masallar Keloğlan tarafından temsil edilen eril egonun bastırılmış psişik içeriği bilince getirmek ve entegre etmek suretiyle nasıl geliştiğini ve güçlendiğini aşamalarıyla ortaya koymaktadır. Jungiyen perspektife göre masallar boyunca karşılaştığımız karakterlerin tümü tek bir psişenin parçalarını oluştururlar ve bu parçaların bireyleşme sürecindeki değişimlerini temsil ederler. Bu süreç sonunda ortaya çıkan ve aslında eril egonun gelişmiş halini temsil eden “oyunbaz” arketipi, ilk bakışta olumsuz gibi görünse de işin aslı öyle değildir. “Köse değirmenci” karakteriyle en tipik formda karşımıza çıkan oyunbaz arketipi aslında espirili, spontan, pratik ve demokrat bir kişiliktir. Oyunlarının ve dalaverelerinin ardında farklı, fakat kendi içinde tutarlı bir ahlaki duruş vardır. Bu haliyle “oyunbaz” arketipi geleneksel, korkusuz, kahraman ve savaşçı erkek tipinden farklı bir erkeklik sembolüdür, fakat pek çok açıdan ondan daha üstündür. Masalın sonunda Keloğlan da başta bir düşman gibi gördüğü, kaçmaya çalıştığı ama kaçamadığı, bir türlü baş edemediği oyunbaz köse değirmenciyle dost olur. Artık tekamül tamamlanmıştır. Bu şekilde Keloğlan bize alternatif, mütevazı ama güçlü bir erkeklik modeli sunar. Aynı zamanda, Anadolu topraklarında “üst” kültürde ataerkil bir anlayış hüküm sürse de, “alt” kültürlerde ataerkil olmayan bir erilliğin yüzyıllar öncesinden beri var olduğunu göstermek suretiyle bize daha açık ve daha esnek bir Anadolu kültürünün de pencerelerini aralar.Yayın Making winners: Urban transformation and neoliberal populism in Turkey(Middle East Institute, 2018-12) Demiralp, SedaThis study focuses on the distribution of the costs and benefits of Turkey's urban policy. Since 2002, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has embraced an ambitious form of capitalism that privatized the benefits of urban transformation while socializing its costs. The government has also adopted populist strategies that enhanced its political support among upper- and lower-income groups and left urban transformation's costs to fall disproportionally on the middle class.Yayın The odd tango of the islamic right and Kurdish left in Turkey: a peripheral alliance to redesign the centre?(Taylor & Francis, 2012-02-24) Demiralp, Seda[No abstract available]Yayın Paradox of optimism: opposition coordination against autocratic incumbents in Turkey’s 2019 and 2023 elections(Routledge, 2024) Balta, Evren; Demiralp, SedaIn the 2019 local and 2023 general elections, Turkey’s opposition parties joined forces in pursuit of a common objective: to oust autocratic incumbents and democratize the political system. While they achieved noteworthy successes in 2019, replicating these gains in the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections proved elusive. This study reveals that coordinating opposition efforts becomes more challenging during general elections, particularly when a charismatic presidential candidate, capable of fostering synergy among opposition factions and voters, is absent. Additionally, when opposition parties span the ideological spec-trum, crafting a unified campaign around a shared manifesto becomes more intricate. The resulting atmosphere of uncertainty is exacerbated further in the absence of decisive leadership. Most importantly, the research highlights a paradox: as optimism for electoral victory grows, parties become more inclined to form alliances but less willing to nominate a strong leader, due to con-cerns about power-sharing overshadowing electoral success. This paradox diminishes the chances of opposition victory.Yayın The rational Islamic actor? Evidence from Islamic banking(Cambridge University Press, 2015-05) Demiralp, Seda; Demiralp, SelvaIslamic banks create an interest in their own right as a rising branch in financial intermediation, particularly in the post-crisis era. In addition, they also deserve the attention of students of Islamism due to their possible connection with Islamic movements. Through a comparison of Islamic and conventional banking, we analyze the motivations and behavior of Islamic economic actors who determine the cash flow to Islamic banks. Our findings suggest that, in contrast to popular views that portray these actors as ideologues or financiers of radical Islam, they have pragmatic motivations and may adapt to liberal systems in order to seize economic incentives.Yayın The state of property development in Turkey: facts and comparisons(Cambridge University Press, 2016-09-01) Demiralp, Seda; Demiralp, Selva; Gümüş, İnciIn this article, we investigate economic and political developments in Turkey's construction sector over the last decade and consider their implications. We find that during the first term of the government of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalklnma Partisi, AKP), thanks to administrative and economic incentives, both private and public construction rose considerably. Despite the construction sector's contribution to growth, there is also evidence of a transfer from the industrial sector toward the construction sector, which led to significant decline in the trend growth of the industrial sector in the era prior to 2006. Such evidence disappears in the post-crisis period, when the growth of private construction slows. However, overcentralization, clientelism, an absence of transparency, and limitations on citizen participation in urban planning remain as problems that need to be addressed through urban reform.Yayın What do Keloğlan stories say about masculine anxieties and reclaiming masculinity?(Routledge, 2022-09-02) Demiralp, SedaKeloğlan stories deliver an anti-patriarchal message. The stories interpreted in this article narrate the male ego’s journey of individuation through an engagement with repressed psychic content, particularly the “shadow.” This allows the emergence of mature masculinity in the form of the “trickster” type. Keloğlan stories present a humble, but powerful, masculinity and show that, while patriarchy has a long and cross-cultural history, so does discontent with it. Scholarship on masculinity remains focused on European-origin tales, but the Keloğlan stories show that feminist views of masculinity are not foreign to Anatolian folklore.Yayın White Turks, Black Turks? Faultlines beyond Islamism versus secularism(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-04) Demiralp, SedaAccording to popular views, contemporary Turkish politics is defined by the ideological conflict between Islamist and secularist parties. However, the focus on the Islamism versus secularism dichotomy, a common bias in the studies of Muslim countries, disguises a deeper faultline between the old urban elites and the newly rising provincial actors. This article highlights the need to see beyond the 'Islamism-secularism' divide and to consider the complex relations of power between alienated social groups in Turkey. It analyses the intricate and multilayered forms of 'othering' in the urban secularist discourse, which perpetuates the inequalities and contention in society. Instead of taking the 'Islamism-secularism' divide as given, the article analyses the construction of secularist and Islamic identities and considers how this dichotomous discourse has empowered the urban parties to control the provincial. Finally, implications for the reconciliation of antagonised social groups are presented.
