This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le monde turco-iranien, qui s'étend des Dardanelles à l'Indus et se prolonge jusqu'aux frontières occidentales de la Chine, est un vaste ensemble de l'aire musulmane, mais il demeure mal connu en Occident. Il regroupe aujourd'hui plus de 200 millions d'habitants, répartis dans une douzaine d'Etats. Confronté à la "modernité" depuis environ deux siècles, le monde turco-iranien a abordé cette nouvelle étape de son histoire en empruntant des voies différentes : certains pays se sont inspirés de l'exemple occidental, d'autres ont été marqués par la colonisation russe, l'expérience soviétique voire chinoise. Alors qu'une partie des pays de la région ont effectué les expériences de laïcité les plus poussées (Turquie et républiques ex-soviétiques en particulier), d'autres ont exploré la voie de l'islam politique le plus radical (Iran et Afghanistan). Dans cette perspective, ces contrées sont en quelque sorte le laboratoire du monde musulman dans son ensemble.

Book excerpt: Le monde turco-iranien, qui s'étend des Dardanelles à l'Indus et se prolonge jusqu'aux frontières occidentales de la Chine, est un vaste ensemble de l'aire musulmane, mais il demeure mal connu en Occident. Il regroupe aujourd'hui plus de 200 millions d'habitants, répartis dans une douzaine d'Etats. Monde ancien, fragmenté, hétérogène et contrasté tout en ayant de forts éléments d'unité, cette région est à la fois un centre de diffusion culturelle, et un lieu de passage, de contact, et d'échanges économiques depuis la plus haute Antiquité. Située au cœur de l'Eurasie, traversée par les routes les plus anciennes, son rayonnement culturel a souvent dépassé les frontières des pays qui la composent aujourd'hui. Confronté à la "modernité" depuis environ deux siècles, le monde turco-iranien a abordé cette nouvelle étape de son histoire en empruntant des voies différentes: certains pays se sont inspirés de l'exemple occidental, d'autres ont été marqués par la colonisation russe, l'expérience soviétique voir chinoise. Paradoxalement, alors qu'une partie des pays de la région ont effectué les expériences de laïcité les plus poussées (Turquie et républiques ex-soviétiques en particulier), d'autres ont exploré la voie de l'islam politique le plus radical (Iran et Afghanistan). Dans cette perspective, ces contrées ont été en quelque sorte le laboratoire du monde musulman dans son ensemble. Cet ouvrage est issu d'un colloque organisé en novembre 2005 à l'Institut universitaire d'études du développement (IUED) de Genève en l'honneur de Mohammad-Reza Djalili. Les articles rassemblés dans ce volume offrent une réflexion critique sur la pertinence heuristique du concept de "monde turco-iranien", sur ses confins et sur ses spécificités. Ils adoptent tour à tour une perspective historique, politologique et anthropologique et abordent des thématiques telles que l'évolution historique de ces régions, la formation des Etats, les tensions de sociétés en transition à l'heure de la globalisation et des replis identitaires.
Download or read book Iran written by Negin Nabavi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Iranian history has been full of unexpected turns. Whether it was the 1979 revolution, which resulted in the establishment of the first ever Islamic Republic in the history of the Muslim world, the rise to power of the reformist movement in 1997, or the emergence of the Green Movement, an opposition movement that took shape spontaneously in the days immediately following the presidential elections in June 2009, the world has been taken unawares at every juncture. This book brings together essays that both speculate on the import of the developments of 2009 and shed light on the complexities and the ever-changing dynamics of post-revolutionary Iran.
Download or read book Contemporary Domestic and Foreign Policies of Iran written by Pejman Abdolmohammadi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive analysis of the domestic and foreign politics of Iran, focusing on its complex nature from political, social and cultural perspectives. It has adopted a multidisciplinary approach, combining comparative politics and intellectual and modern history with international relations. It analyses the institutional structure of the Islamic Republic, the main political and social actors and alliances, as well as Iranian opposition forces both inside and outside the country. The book tries to simplify the seemingly intractable complexity of the Islamic Republic by demystifying it and using political science methods to prove that it is a peculiar hybrid regime.
Download or read book Human Rights in Turkey written by Zehra F. Kabasakal Arat and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey's mixed human rights record has been highly politicized in the debate surrounding the country's probable ascendance to membership in the European Union. Beginning with the foundation of a secular republic in 1923, and continuing with founding membership in the United Nations and participation in the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Turkey made significant commitments to the advancement of human rights. However, its authoritarian tradition, periods of military rule, increasing social inequality, and economic crises have led to policies that undermine human rights. While legislative reforms and civil social activism since the 1980s have contributed greatly to the advancement of human rights, recent progress is threatened by the rise of nationalism, persistent gender inequality, and economic hardship. In Human Rights in Turkey, twenty-one Turkish and international scholars from various disciplines examine human rights policies and conditions since the 1920s, at the intersection of domestic and international politics, as they relate to all spheres of life in Turkey. A wide range of rights, such as freedom of the press and religion, minority, women's, and workers' rights, and the right to education, are examined in the context of the history and current conditions of the Republic of Turkey. In light of the events of September 11, 2001, and subsequent developments in the Middle East, recent proposals about modeling other Muslim countries after Turkey add urgency to an in-depth study of Turkish politics and the causal links with human rights. The scholarship presented in Human Rights in Turkey holds significant implications for the study of human rights in the Middle East and around the globe.

Download or read book Analysing Kazakhstan s Foreign Policy written by Luca Anceschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the roles that ideas and constructs associated with Eurasia have played in the making of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy during the Nazarbaev era. This book delves into the specific Eurasia-centric narratives through which the regime, headed by Nursultan Nazarbaev, imagined the role of post-Soviet Kazakhstan in the wider Eurasian geopolitical space. Based on substantive fieldwork and sustained engagement with primary sources, the book unveils the power implications of Kazakhstani neo-Eurasianism, arguing that the strengthening of the regime’s domestic power ranked highly in the list of objectives pursued by Kazakhstani foreign policy between the collapse of the Soviet Union and Nazarbaev’s apparent withdrawal from the Kazakhstani political scene (19 March 2019). This book, ultimately, is a study of inter-state integration, which makes use of a rigorous methodological approach to assess different incarnations of post-Soviet multilateralism, from the Commonwealth of Independent States to the more recent, and highly controversial, Eurasian Economic Union. This book offers a ground-breaking analysis of Kazakhstani foreign policy in the Nazarbaev era. It will be of interest to students and scholars of Central Asian Politics, International Relations and Security Studies.
Download or read book Nationalizing Empires written by Stefan Berger and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Nationalizing Empires challenge the dichotomy between empire and nation state that for decades has dominated historiography. The authors center their attention on nation-building in the imperial core and maintain that the nineteenth century, rather than the age of nation-states, was the age of empires and nationalism. They identify a number of instances where nation building projects in the imperial metropolis aimed at the preservation and extension of empires rather than at their dissolution or the transformation of entire empires into nation states. Such observations have until recently largely escaped theoretical reflection.
Download or read book A Social Revolution written by Kevan Harris and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, political observers and pundits have characterized the Islamic Republic of Iran as an ideologically rigid state on the verge of collapse, exclusively connected to a narrow social base. In A Social Revolution, Kevan Harris convincingly demonstrates how they are wrong. Previous studies ignore the forceful consequences of three decades of social change following the 1979 revolution. Today, more people in the country are connected to welfare and social policy institutions than to any other form of state organization. In fact, much of Iran’s current political turbulence is the result of the success of these social welfare programs, which have created newly educated and mobilized social classes advocating for change. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in Iran between 2006 and 2011, Harris shows how the revolutionary regime endured though the expansion of health, education, and aid programs that have both embedded the state in everyday life and empowered its challengers. This first serious book on the social policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran opens a new line of inquiry into the study of welfare states in countries where they are often overlooked or ignored.

Download or read book Modernization Democracy and Islam written by Shireen T. Hunter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-01-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic world has a poor record in terms of modernization and democracy. However, the source of this situation is not religion, but factors including colonialism, international economic and trading systems, and the role of the military, among others. Recognizing these themes allows the consideration of possible remedies for change in the Muslim world. The Islamic world has a poor record in terms of modernization and democracy. However, the source of this situation is not religion—Islam—but rather factors including colonialism, international economic and trading systems, and the role of the military, among others. Recognizing these themes allows the consideration of possible remedies for change in the Muslim world. The distinguished scholars contributing to this volume identify key factors—some intrinsic to the Muslim world, and some external—that contribute to Islam's current predicament. Contrary to much prevailing thought and opinion, Islam is neither monolithic nor impervious to change. It is neither anti-democratic nor inherently anti-modernization. Islam itself, as this book shows, is not the root cause of the malaise of the Islamic world.

Download or read book Secularism and State Policies toward Religion written by Ahmet T. Kuru and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do secular states pursue different policies toward religion? This book provides a generalizable argument about the impact of ideological struggles on the public policy making process, as well as a state-religion regimes index of 197 countries. More specifically, it analyzes why American state policies are largely tolerant of religion, whereas French and Turkish policies generally prohibit its public visibility, as seen in their bans on Muslim headscarves. In the United States, the dominant ideology is 'passive secularism', which requires the state to play a passive role, by allowing public visibility of religion. Dominant ideology in France and Turkey is 'assertive secularism', which demands that the state play an assertive role in excluding religion from the public sphere. Passive and assertive secularism became dominant in these cases through certain historical processes, particularly the presence or absence of an ancien régime based on the marriage between monarchy and hegemonic religion during state-building periods.

Download or read book The Nature of Sufism written by Milad Milani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Sufis approach their faith as Muslims, upholding an Islamic worldview, but going about making sense of their religion through the world in which they exist, often in unexpected ways. Using a phenomenological approach, the book examines Sufism as lived experience within the Muslim lifeworld, focusing on the Muslim experience of Islamic history. It draws on selected case studies ranging from classic Sufism to Sufism in the contemporary era mainly taken from biographical and hagiographical data, manuscript texts, and treatises. In this way, it provides a revisionist approach to theories and methods on Sufism, and, more broadly, the category of mysticism.
