In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in Turkey's
ability to create a secular, constitutional democracy within a
predominantly Muslim population. Remaking Turkey provides a
comprehensive and detailed account of how Turkey has achieved the
possibility of modernity and democracy in a Muslim social setting
as well as the important problems and challenges confronting this
achievement. Turkey has demonstrated that as an alternative
modernity and as a significant historical experience of the
co-existence between Islam and democratic modernity in a secular
political structure it could make an important contribution to the
most needed democratic global governance for the creation of a
secure, just and peaceful world. Remaking Turkey starts its
investigation with an analysis of the Ottoman legacy, then focuses
on identity-based conflicts and civil, economic, and global
processes, all of which have brought about significant challenges
to modernity and democracy in Turkey. The book concludes with an
account of the recent changes and transformations that have given
rise to the process of 'remaking Turkey.' In this way, editor E.
Fuat Keyman presents a political theory-based approach to Turkish
modernity and its recent changing formation, creating an original
study of contemporary Turkey.

This collection offers a postcolonial critique of the ostensible
superiority or originality of 'Western' political theory and one of
its fundamental concepts, 'citizenship'. The chapters analyse the
undoing, uncovering, and reinventing of citizenship as a way of
investigating citizenship as political subjectivity. If it has now
become very difficult to imagine citizenship merely as nationality
or membership in the nation-state, this is at least in part because
of the anticolonial struggles and the project of reimagining
citizenship after orientalism that they precipitated. If it has
become difficult to sustain the orientalist assumption, the
question arises; how do we investigate citizenship as political
subjectivity after orientalism? This book was originally published
as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
Citizenship studies is at a crucial moment of globalizing as a
field. What used to be mainly a European, North American, and
Australian field has now expanded to major contributions featuring
scholarship from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Routledge Handbook of Global Citizenship Studies takes into
account this globalizing moment. At the same time, it considers how
the global perspective exposes the strains and discords in the
concept of 'citizenship' as it is understood today. With over fifty
contributions from international, interdisciplinary experts, the
Handbook features state-of-the-art analyses of the practices and
enactments of citizenship across broad continental regions
(Africas, Americas, Asias and Europes) as well as deterritorialized
forms of citizenship (Diasporicity and Indigeneity). Through these
analyses, the Handbook provides a deeper understanding of
citizenship in both empirical and theoretical terms. This volume
sets a new agenda for scholarly investigations of citizenship. Its
wide-ranging contributions and clear, accessible style make it
essential reading for students and scholars working on citizenship
issues across the humanities and social sciences.
From the rise of cyberbullying and hactivism to the issues
surrounding digital privacy rights and freedom of speech, the
Internet is changing the ways in which we govern and are governed
as citizens. This book examines how citizens encounter and perform
new sorts of rights, duties, opportunities and challenges through
the Internet. By disrupting prevailing understandings of
citizenship and cyberspace, the authors highlight the dynamic
relationship between these two concepts. Rather than assuming that
these are static or established "facts" of politics and society,
the book shows how the challenges and opportunities presented by
the Internet inevitably impact upon the action and understanding of
political agency. In doing so, it investigates how we conduct
ourselves in cyberspace through digital acts. This book provides a
new theoretical understanding of what it means to be a citizen
today for students and scholars across the social sciences. This
new and updated edition includes two new chapters. A Preface
consists of reflections on developments in digital politics since
the book was published in 2015. It considers how recent major
political struggles over digital technologies and data can be
understood in relation to the conceptualization of digital citizens
that the book offers. While the Preface positions dominant
responses to these struggles such as government regulations as
'closings', a new final chapter, Digital citizens-yet-to-come
offers examples of 'openings' - digital acts such as new forms of
data activism that are less recognised but which point to the
emergence of paradoxical digital acts that are producing new
digital political subjectivities.

This edited volume presents a critique of citizenship as
exclusively and even originally a European or 'Western'
institution. It explores the ways in which we may begin to think
differently about citizenship as political subjectivity.
Data has become a social and political issue because of its
capacity to reconfigure relationships between states, subjects, and
citizens. This book explores how data has acquired such an
important capacity and examines how critical interventions in its
uses in both theory and practice are possible. Data and politics
are now inseparable: data is not only shaping our social relations,
preferences and life chances but our very democracies. Expert
international contributors consider political questions about data
and the ways it provokes subjects to govern themselves by making
rights claims. Concerned with the things (infrastructures of
servers, devices, and cables) and language (code, programming, and
algorithms) that make up cyberspace, this book demonstrates that
without understanding these conditions of possibility it is
impossible to intervene in or to shape data politics. Aimed at
academics and postgraduate students interested in political aspects
of data, this volume will also be of interest to experts in the
fields of internet studies, international studies, Big Data,
digital social sciences and humanities. The Open Access version of
this book, available at
