Öğe Gaining freedoms: claiming space in Istanbul and Berlin(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Cemgil, Can[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Open wounds: Armenians, Turks and a century of genocide(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Turan, Omer; Cemgil, Can[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The 'Rojava Revolution' in Syrian Kurdistan: A Model of Development for the Middle East?(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-05) Cemgil, Can; Hoffmann, ClemensAs the civil war in Syria continues, in the territory of Rojava in Kurdish, 'the West' - the northern Syrian Kurdish political movement is attempting to implement 'libertarian municipalism', based on the thoughts of United States (US) anarchist Murray Bookchin. Since the withdrawal of Syrian regime forces in 2012, the movement has consolidated significant territorial gains as a US ally in the anti-Islamic State (IS) struggle, while simultaneously securing Russian support. Viewed with suspicion by Turkey, Syria and Iraqi Kurdistan, the geopolitical conditions of Rojava's emergence are its greatest impediment. This article analyses Rojava's model of rule and socioeconomic development, and its theory and practice in the context of the civil war, and regional Middle Eastern and wider global geopolitics. It reflects on Rojava's place and meaning for contemporary geopolitics in the Middle East, and considers the territory's prospects, discussing its transformative potential for an otherwise troubled region.Öğe The (un)making of the Pax Turca in the Middle East: understanding the social-historical roots of foreign policy(Routledge Journals, 2016) Cemgil, Can; Hoffmann, ClemensTurkey's foreign policy activism has received mixed reviews. Some feel threatened by the alleged increasing Islamization of the country's foreign policy, sometimes called neo-Ottomanism', which is seen as a significant revision of Turkey's traditional transatlanticism. Others see Turkey as a stable democratic role model in a troubled region. This debate on Turkish foreign policy (TFP) remains dominated by a sense of confusion about what appear to be stark contradictions that are difficult to make sense of. Intervening in this debate, this article will develop an alternative perspective to existing accounts of Turkey's new foreign policy. Offering a historical sociological approach to foreign policy analysis, it locates recent transformations in Turkey's broader strategies of social reproduction. It subsequently argues that, contrary to claims about Turkey's axis shift, its changing foreign policies have in fact never been pro-Western or pro-American. All foreign policy shifts' and inconsistencies', we argue, are explicable in terms of historically changing strategies of social reproduction of the Ottoman and Turkish states responding to changing domestic and international conditions.Öğe The Geopolitics of Democratic Confederalism in Syria: Geopolitics as the Interplay of Multiple Strategies of Spatialisation(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Cemgil, CanThe emerging socio-political entity of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria (DFNS), lauded and criticised for its proclaimed progressive model, gave rise to by now a sizable literature on its now seven-year-old self-styled stateless, gender-egalitarian, ecological, direct-democratic social experiment that is referred to as democratic confederalism. Its alternative spatiality, however, received relatively less attention. In cases when it did, the dominant spatial organisation of political rule, that is, exclusive, national and territorial statehood became the point of reference. Building on the always contested and never absolute nature of the modern spatiopolitical order, this paper raises the problem of alternative spatial organization of political rule on the basis of the democratic confederalist experiment in Northern Syria. Drawing on a notion of strategies of spatialisation, understood as the practical ways of agents to deal with what is external to them as part of reproducing themselves and their spatiality, it argues that democratic confederalism as the spatialisation strategy of the DFNS constitutes an alternative mode of spatialisation, but its concrete shape is determined as much by its interaction with the spatialisation strategies of others, that is, by geopolitics, as it is by the practices and intentions of those who formulated it.Öğe The international order and the persistence of violent extremism' in the Islamic world(Sage Publications Inc, 2017) Cemgil, CanThis article explores the relation between the American-led liberal international order and the persistence of violent extremism' in the Middle East through a questioning of the role of constitutive aspects of this order, namely territoriality of political organization and capitalist organization of world economy, in contributing to the persistence and recurrent formation of militant Islamist groups. It argues that the historical legitimation crisis of this international order in the Middle East and the other conflict-ridden regions of the Islamic world, and the current globalization of this legitimation crisis in the relatively well-off and democratic states of the western world, contribute to the recurrent explosions of alienation, expressed in the form of militant Islamist groups.Öğe The republican ideal of freedom as non-domination and the Rojava experiment: States as they are' or a new socio-political imagination?(Sage Publications Inc, 2016) Cemgil, CanThis article problematizes the republican reliance on contemporary states as they are' as protectors and guarantors of the republican notion of freedom as non-domination. While the principle of freedom as non-domination constitutes an advance over the liberal principle of freedom as non-interference, its reliance on the national, territorial, legal-technical and extra-economic contemporary state prevents the theoretical uncovering of its full potential. The article argues that to make the most of the principle of freedom as non-domination, a strong Athenian element is required. The democratic confederalist project that is being experimented with by Syrian Kurds in the cantons of Rojava, it is maintained, can contribute theoretically and practically to this republican ideal through its democratic and participatory mechanisms, despite fundamental challenges it has to face.Öğe Trajectories of the relation of rationality to power and autonomy in the works of the critics of modernity(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2005) Cemgil, Can; Özbank, Murat[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Uluslararası İlişkiler ve Uluslararası Siyasi İktisat Teorisinde Robert Cox ve Eleştirel Teori: Marx, Vico ve Tarihin Yapımı(Ahmet Arif EREN, 2021) Cemgil, CanBu makale Uluslararası İlişkiler ve Uluslararası Siyasi İktisat disiplinlerinde ‘Eleştirel Teori’ olarak anılan yaklaşımın kurucusu sayılan Robert W. Cox’un düşüncesinin meta-teorik dayanaklarını değerlendirmektedir. Makalenin ana argümanı Cox’un yapısalcı ve problem çözücü yaklaşımlara getirdiği eleştiriden hareketle önerdiği çözümün, özellikle Weberyan etkiler nedeniyle tüm potansiyelini gerçekleştiremediği yönündedir. Bu argüman makalede üç adımda geliştirilmektedir. Giriş kısmını izleyen ilk kısımda, Cox’un problem çözücü teoriye getirdiği eleştiriler ışığında geliştirdiği tarihselci yaklaşımın bir özeti sunulmaktadır. İkinci kısımda, Cox’un bu yaklaşımının temel bir unsurunun, yani tarihi, kurumları ve yapıları insanların yaptığı iddiasının Vico ve Marx’taki düşünsel kaynakları tartışılmaktadır. Üçüncü kısımdaysa, bu tartışmadan hareketle Cox’un yaklaşımının son kertede yapısalcılığın kısıtlarını tamamen aşmayı başaramadığı ileri sürülmekte ve Weberyan metodolojik plüralizmi, ideal tipleri ve bunlara dayanan senkronik analizi tarihsel materyalizm ve diyalektik yöntemle birleştirme girişiminin sonuçsuz kaldığı değerlendirmesi yapılmaktadır.|This article assesses the meta-theoretical premises of what is called ‘Critical Theory’ in the disciplines of International Relations and International Political Economy, as it is developed by Robert W. Cox. The central argument of the article is that the solution proposed by Cox in relation to his critique of structuralist and problem-solving approaches fails to fulfil its full potential due to Weberian influences. This argument is developed in the article in three steps. In the first section following the introduction, Cox’s historicist approach is briefly summarised in light of his critique of problem-solving theory. In the second section, the intellectual sources of one of the central elements of this approach, that is, the claim that it is human beings who make history, institutions and structures, is discussed in the work of Vico and Marx. In the third section, building on this discussion, it is argued that in the final instance, Cox’s approach fails to fully overcome the constraints of structuralism, since its attempt to combine Weberian methodological pluralism, ideal typification strategy and synchronic analysis with historical materialism and dialectical method remains untenable.
