Fahreddin Altay (1880-1974) : militarizmin gölgesinde
Fahreddin Altay is one of the representatives of the Ottoman generation born in the
1880s. He grew up in an environment in which wars were becoming more destructive,
complicated and organized. He became part of the high ranking military elite, and
then became a staff officer and commander in wars that lasted almost ten years.
Then, as one of the high ranking representatives of the army; he carried out different
duties and became a deputy in the republican period. The main aim of this thesis is
to merge a multidimensional phenomenon, reflecting each field of life differently,
militarization of society with a genre of historiography that is biography, including
various fields of life, thus putting an alternative interpretation on the period,
transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey. While the different
reflections of the phenomenon, militarization of society made his life a typical
example of it, at the same time, in such an ordinary life, his perception of the
environment, his reactions to events and the level of his influence on them made his
world virtually unique. This thesis, the only biography in this field to be based on a
concept, different from the various books written by focusing on it, rather than the
events, is a contribution to the new historiography bringing back the agent by
measuring the influence of it on a person in various fields and specific events.
Combining human perception with unique human experience, his life provides very
different from the others so often narrated a portrait of a military officer in the
period.Abstract ....................................................................................................................... iv

Türk dış politikasında İslam ve sekülerizm (1919-1938)
This study examines the impact of Islam and secularism on Mustafa Kemal’s foreign
policy and relations with the Muslim world, focusing specifically on Middle Eastern
countries during 1919-1938. By using Hurd’s constructivist approach to international
relations, I argue that secular ideology in internal politics was a significant parameter
in Turkish foreign policy making during this twenty-year period. Also, I examine
Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) with Ardıç’s concepts of accommodation and
control/domination at the discursive and policy levels, by dividing the Mustafa Kemal
era into three periods: Islamization (1919-1924), with particular emphasis on the
Caliphate’s role in TFP; secularization (1924-29), in parallel with the rising secularism
in domestic politics; and securitization (1929-38), with the changing dynamics of TFP
based on security concerns. I demonstrate that secularism did not entirely determine
Mustafa Kemal’s foreign policy continuously from 1919 to 1938, and that secular
politics usually accommodated Islam in its application and rhetoric rather than always
excluding and conflicting with religion. While Mustafa Kemal pursued a foreign policy
in which Islam was used effectively as a discourse between 1919 and 1924 in order
to ensure domestic and international political legitimacy, secular changes in TFP
during the period of 1924-29 were the product of secular ideological transformations
in domestic politics. Finally, due to the security priorities in the regional and global
politics, Turkey could not continue to transmit its strict internal ideological
transformation in its foreign policy between 1929-1938 – hence securitization. While
investigating transformations of TFP through the religious and secular discourses of
Mustafa Kemal as the primary decision maker of the new state, I point out the
contradictions in both discourses and practices from the 1920s to 1930s.Abstract ........................................................................................................................ iv

Audit duty of administration on civil air operators
Civil air transportation, which is one of the fastest carriage system in the globalizing
world, can be considered as one of the most frequently used cargo and passenger
transport activities. Safety of flights with complex aircrafts is vital, especially when it
comes to passenger carriage. In order to ensure safety in this field which consists
risks, air operators must act in accordance with national and international
legislations. It is known that the concept of security is closely related to the concept
of public order in terms of Turkish administrative law. For this reason, it can be easily
said that the audit activities carried out by the administration on the air operators
are aimed at achieving the purpose of public safety. In brief, this thesis will cover duty
of audit on air transport operators carried out by the administration.Öz.… ............................................................................................................................. iv

The sphere of consensus in a polarized media system: The case of Turkey during the catastrophic coup attempt
How does a highly polarized media system respond to a catastrophic event? The July 2016 coup attempt in Turkey provides fertile ground to examine how a catastrophic event has shaped the editorial policies of news media outlets in a highly polarized media system. This article hypothesizes that, mainly due to the peculiarities of the Turkish media system, even at the time of a catastrophic event, the framing strategies of media outlets converge only to a limited degree on a sphere of consensus. Adopting a content analysis methodology, we analyze the framing strategies of four national newspapers affiliated with specific sociopolitical camps (the pro-government Sabah, the moderate Hürriyet, and the oppositional Sözcü and Cumhuriyet). We reach the counterintuitive conclusion that these news outlets used different framing strategies in the immediate aftermath of the coup attempt and that the gap between them widened over the period of analysis
Soğuk Savaş sonrası Türkiye'nin jeopolitik vizyonunun ve kimliğinin dış politika yoluyla yeniden inşası : İsmail Cem örneği (1997-2002)
This thesis seeks to reveal how civilizational discourse influences foreign policy
making and undertakes a comprehensive content analysis of the foreign policy
discourse of Ismail Cem, Turkey’s foreign minister from 1997 to 2002, who made
major contributions to the civilizational geopolitical discourse of Turkey as well as the
identity discussions in foreign policy after the end of the Cold War. The thesis
attempts to answer the question of whether it is possible to construct civilizational
geopolitics that can coexist with pluralities (ethnic groups, nations, or civilizations) by
minimizing boundary-producing practices, and, at the same time, by casting an active
and “central” role to Turkey in foreign policy. This analysis is a critical examination
seeking to reveal how and with what consequences Cem used the civilizational
discourse in Turkey in order to justify his foreign policy practices. In accordance with
this purpose, the first phase of this study has examined the historical background of
the emergence of geopolitics and civilizational discussions and their introduction to
Turkey from the perspective of critical geopolitics. In the second phase, the influence
of the changing international conjuncture with the end of the Cold War over Turkey’s
geopolitical value and identity perception have been discussed focusing on Ismail
Cem’s tenure in office. Cem’s redefinition of Turkey’s identity, civilizational belonging
and geopolitical vision have been deeply evaluated emphasizing the impact of
national identity and history over the perception of geopolitical visions.Abstract ....................................................................................................................... iv

Analogtan dijitale:aile fotoğrafının dönüşümü
Photography is part and parcel of our everyday lives. Its representational and
communicative capability has made it an indispensable medium for both institutions
and individuals alike. With the advent of digital photography, one can observe its impact in every corner of social and cultural sphere. The purpose of this study is to
attempt to understand the transition from analogue to digital photography with
regard to its impact on socio-cultural practices and contexts. To this end, at the center
of the discussion in this study is family photography, for its transformation, I believe,
is indicative of the transformation of social and cultural practices around
photography in the transition. Family photographs, are objects that have material
and social aspects, have long functioned as the transmitter of familial networks,
relations, rituals and memory. The coming of digital technologies and ubiquity of
photography as well as the changes in its form and function, has also transformed
social and cultural practices around family photography. As the methodology for this
study, a qualitative research approach was chosen. The data gathered from sixteen
one-to-one semi structured interviews serve as the basis for this study. As a result,
this study indicates the following findings. Firstly, social practices around family
photography prevail, but in different complex and multi-layered forms. However, the
family album does not seem to be a sustainable ritual because of the over-abundance
of photography. Secondly, the intension behind taking photos has changed from
storing for memory to forming identity as family photography has replaced with what
may be called friendship photography. And finally, all these transformations create a
blurred boundary between privacy and publicity.Abstract ....................................................................................................................... iv

65 yaş ve üzeri kadınların anlatılarında yaşlılık algısı
As an interdependent being, human seeks security and meaning through his
interactions with his social world. Old age is a period in which this need can be felt
more due to some changes that a person encounters. In order to grasp this period,
starting from intersubjective relations of people may bring about significant
information about the lives of people for the construction of old age perceptions. In
this respect, this study is a contribution to the micro-sociology of old age for
showing the different aspects of it through the experiences of thirteen middle
classed, relatively independent women who are 65 and more years old, perform
daily praying and live in Istanbul in their homes. Rather than measuring the
relationship between religiosity and being old, it tries to follow the meaning-making
process of these women without undermining the role of the researcher herself. It
is based on a phenomenological understanding of old age by using symbolic
interactionism of Herbert Blumer by combining it with Elias’ approach to old age. By
making narrative analysis of life stories of women, it concludes that there are three
major perceptions: old age as a physical and mental dependency, old age as despair
vs. opportunity, and old age as loneliness. By looking the actions of women which
are the results of the meanings of old age, the study questions the social
interactions that give away these meanings.Abstract ................................................................................................................... iv
