    Ad hominem argumentation in politics
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Borovali, Murat
    A healthy and robust public political culture is generally regarded as being of utmost necessity for the maintenance of a stable democratic environment. Especially when a country is facing significant challenges and is in the process of devising and implementing radical reforms, the presence of satisfactory collective deliberation can ensure durability and stability. This article will focus on one type of argumentation that stands in the way of such healthy deliberation. It will explore the various forms that ad hominem arguments take and consider the harmful consequences of their wide prominence in the political culture of the country.

    The Alevi Workshops: An Opening Without an Outcome?
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Borovali, Murat; Boyraz, Cemil
    This paper aims to analyze the Alevi Opening in 2009 by the Justice and Development Party. Based on a close reading of the manuscripts of the seven workshops and the subsequently published report, a critical analysis of the initiative by the government is presented. It is argued that the organization and the composition of the workshops were not conducive to attaining a set of solutions to the problems encountered by the Alevis. The article concludes by stating that, though a historic step in state-Alevi relations, the Opening has not been successful in producing a politically significant result.

    Turkey's liberal' liberals
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2017) Borovali, Murat
    This article seeks to address the increasingly pertinent concern of how to form a satisfactory liberal stance in the face of certain democratically mandated policies of non-liberal and even sometimes illiberal governments. To that end, a close analysis is provided of a particular debate that generated controversy in certain liberal circles in Turkey during the run-up to the referendum on constitutional amendments in 2010. Identifying and evaluating 5 factors which seemed to have influenced the opposing positions in the debate, the article tries to demonstrate how disagreement over the correct' liberal position entails differences in overall judgement of the political situation and assessment of the circumstances.
