HAKKÂRILI KÜRT MÜSLÜMAN KADINLARIN ÖTEKI INSASI - ÇOCUKLARIM KIMINLE EVLENSIN VE KOMSUM KIMLERDEN OLSUN?/OTHERS OF KURDISH MUSLIM WOMEN LIVING IN HAKKÂRI - WHO DO I WISH MY CHILDREN MARRY WITH AND MY NEIGHBORS COME FROM?
Othering is often analysed in relation to exclusion of disadvantaged groups such as ethnic minorities or women in relatively heterogeneous societies. In doing so, the existing theories are focused on the issue of discrimination of minorities through the process of othering. On the other hand, this paper will argue that othering is a complicated and multi-dimensional process. It could also be observed in relatively homogeneous societies. Indeed, the members of the disadvantaged and excluded others such as women and ethnic minorities could conceive others. This paper based on a study of Kurdish women living in a poor city in eastern part of Turkey, called Hakkari. The area overwhelmingly populated by Sunni Kurdish people. The quantitative data were collected from 1177 women aged 15 years and over in 2012. The data promote the idea that othering of different ethnic and religious groups could be possible in relatively homogeneous societies.

Societal peace and ideal citizenship for Turkey
Globalisation and neo-liberalism have been impacting the nation-state and leading the full citizenship concept into crisis, not only in Turkey but also in the world. While one reason for this crisis is the decline of the welfare state, another reason stems from the fluidity of borders that distorts the classical patterns of the nation-state such as meta-identity. The existing Turkish citizenship inherited a strong state idea with passive citizenship tradition from the Ottoman Empire. However, this understanding is no longer sustainable for Turkish society. The definition of citizenship through state-led nationalism, secularism, and a free market economy creates societal crises in politics and society. The aim of this book is to find out the answer of what should be the ideal citizenship regime for Turkey. Various scholars dealing with Turkish socio-politics analyze different aspects and problems of Turkish citizenship regime that should be tackled for finding a recipe for ideal citizenship in Turkey.

Transnational engagements and the future economic aspirations of Turkish-speaking young people in London
Contemporary researchers indicate that the conditions of minority communities can no longer be analysed within the narrow boundaries of the host societies. Technological innovations, such as air transport and satellite systems, have prepared the necessary conditions for a grassroots transnationalism, and transnational activities among migrant communities are already well-documented. However, the existing literature on the effects of transnationalism for the second generation is quite restricted as regards identity construction. Yet, it is also important to analyse the economic effects of transnationalism on young people, especially on their future prospects. Within this context, this article discusses the effects of transnational social networks on the economic aspirations of Turkish-speaking young people, arguing that transnational activities alone could not influence young people's aspirations: the effects of transnationalism on young people's future preferences are only evident if gender, age, education degrees and father's economic status are taken into the equation.

Exclusion and Education of Disadvantaged Young People: The Case of Turkish Disadvantaged Young People
In Turkey, the policy makers and politicians have encouraged investments on education as a way to eliminate poverty among the young people in general and the young women in particular, while there seems to be a lack of interest in the perceptions and expectations of the young people. This paper has tried to fill this gap and introduced some policy suggestions to construct a bridge between politicians’ intentions and the young people’s perceptions. It is argued that effective policies should be informed by demand side as in this case excluded young people. Otherwise, the policies could not be responded on the ground. This is required active participation of the excluded young people in the process. In other words, they need to be a part of the solution, rather than of the problem. The paper is based on a part of the research about disadvantaged young people aged 15-24 living in Ankara as one of the big metropolis in Turkey sponsored by TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific Research Council) in 2008-2010. Both quantitative and qualitative research techniques were applied during the research. The data has been collected in five stages. First, statistical data sets (TSI, SPD etc.) on young people in general and this specific age group in particular, was analysed. Then, in-depth interviews with service providers to young people in different organisations (local, governmental and non-governmental) were carried out. In the third stage, a questionnaire was applied to 600 young people (300 males and 300 females). At the end of this stage, one day workshop with service providers to share the survey result was arranged and in-depth interviews with selected young people were conducted in the later stage. In the final stage some focus group discussions were executed with these young people.

Hakkârili kürt müslüman kadınların öteki inşası – çocuklarım kiminle evlensin ve komşum kimlerden olsun?
Ötekileştirme genellikle, görece heterojen toplumlarda, etnik azınlıklar veya kadınlar gibi dezavantajlı grupların dışlanmasıyla ilgili olarak analiz edilir. Var olan teoriler bu şekilde yalnızca çoğunluk tarafından azınlığa uygulanan ayrımcılık ve ötekileştirme sürecine odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışma ise ötekileştirmeyi karmaşık ve çok boyutlu bir süreç olarak ele alarak, belirli şartlarda, görece homojen toplumlarda da gözlenebileceği hususunu tartışmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, kadınlar ve etnik azınlıklar gibi dezavantajlı grupların üyeleri ve dışlanmış ötekilerin kendileri için bir öteki inşa edebileceği de iddia edilmektedir. Bu makale Türkiye’nin doğusundaki yoksul bir kent olan Hakkâri’de yaşayan kadınlar ile yapılan saha çalışmasının verilerine dayanmaktadır. Hakkâri, nüfusunun büyük çoğunluğunu Sünni Kürtler’in oluşturduğu bir bölgedir. Makale 2012 yılında 15 yaş ve üzeri 1177 kadın ile yapılan görüşmeler sonucu toplanan nicel verilere dayanmaktadır. Çalışmanın bulguları heterojen toplumlarda da ötekileştirmenin olabileceği ve bu ötekileştirme sürecinin temasta olunmasa dahi farklı etnik ve dini kimlikler üzerinden yapılabileceğini göstermektedir.

TEKSTÝL ÝÞÇÝLERÝNÝN KÝMLÝK AÝDÝYETL ERÝ ÜZERÝNE SOSYOLOJÝK BÝR ÝNCELEME 1/A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALY SIS ON TEXTILE WORKERS IDENT ITY BELONGINS
There are two main approaches to the class and stratification issues. One view argues that class has died and people face up with dissidence based on their religious and ethnic identities rather than their class identities. In relation to this, class has undergone an important transformation. Political studies especially deduce that political and social identities cannot be understood via class-based traditional identities represented by right and left wings. According to the second view, class identity continues its existence. Here it is also claimed that class consciousness continues its existence and even if it exists ontologically it is damaged as for different reasons. This paper will analyze these two views in the case of textile workers in Istanbul. The main argument of the paper is that although ethnic and religious identity appropriations are important for textile workers, class belongings has not died; rather, there is complicated, interwoven and multifaceted relation between ethnic, religious and class identities. Mixed method was used in this research to reach valid and reliable data. In the first stage, a questionnaire was conducted to 508 textile workers working in garment industry in Istanbul of whom 218 are women and 290 are men, and age between 15- 58 at five months' interval between September 2013 and January 2014 and 15 volunteers among the participants were interviewed. In the second stage, and 5 focus group studies consisting of 5 people were conducted. By doing this, it is aimed to get more in-depth understanding of the data obtained from the questionnaire and interviews. At the end, it is concluded that while identity based dissidences are observed over ethnic and religious belongings, economy based class consciousness continues its existence.
