Challenging the simplistic story by which feminism has become
complicit in neoliberalism, this book traces the course of
globalization of women's economic empowerment from the Global South
to the Global North and critically examines the practice of
empowering low-income women, primarily migrant, indigenous and
racialised women. The author argues that women's economic
empowerment organizations become embedded in the neoliberal
re-organization of relations between civil society, state and
market, and in the reconfiguration of relations between the
personal and the political. Also examined are the contractual
nature of institutional arrangements in neoliberalism, the
ontological divide between economy and society, and the
marginalisation of feminist economics that persists in the field of
women's economic empowerment. The book will be of interest to
scholars and students of social sciences, gender studies,
sociology, and economics. This book is based on the author's
doctoral dissertation at the Humboldt University of Berlin, Faculty
of Humanities and Social Sciences.

This edited volume brings together chapters that offer
theoretically pertinent comparisons between various dimensions of
Israeli and Turkish politics. Each chapter covers a different
aspect of state-society interactions in both countries from a
comparative perspective, including the public role of religion,
political culture, women rights movements, religious education,
religious movements, marriage regulation, labor market inclusion,
and ethnic minorities. Israel and Turkey share significant
similarities, such as state formation under nationalist ideologies,
familiarity with democratic governance since the 1940s, strong
affiliation with the West, recent resurgence of religious parties,
ongoing conflict with ethno-national minority groups that challenge
the dominant national project, contemporary popular protests
against the incumbent regime, and recent serious erosion of
democratic rights. At the same time they differ on major variables,
such as size, majority religion, geopolitical location, level of
economic development, policy towards ethnic minorities, and
institutional arrangements to managing the state-religion
relations. The presence of these differences in face of common
backgrounds facilitates analytically grounded comparisons in a host
of dimensions. Therefore, employing a case-oriented comparative
method, this book provides historically interpretative and causally
analytic accounts on the politics of both societies. The
contributions reveal the dynamic and complex-rather than
one-dimensional and linear-nature of political processes in both
settings. This empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated
volume should contribute to a better understanding of these two
important states, and, no less important, stimulate new directions
for comparative research, especially on Middle East regimes, social
movements, and democratization.
