Sezenler, Olcay. "Religion In International Relations And Interfaith Dialogue". Master's thesis, METU, 2010. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/3/12611683/index.pdf.
Testo completoand secularization theory has started to be criticized. On the other hand, religion has started to be regarded as a tool for peacebuilding, at the same time. In addition to its contribution to conflicts and wars, religion is increasingly seen as a potential tool for peaceful cooperation
and inter-religious dialogue is becoming a part of diplomacy and conflict resolution policies. Within this context, interfaith dialogue is a case which shows the extent of the change in the discipline of IR regarding the role of religion. This thesis aims to make a comprehensive discussion on the historical and contemporary relation between religion and international relations by focusing on the role of interfaith dialogue, specifically dialogue initiatives within the EU and the UN. The dialogue projects of these institutions and their relation with security-driven policies are examined. Thus, the main concern of this study is to raise a question about the role of interfaith dialogue, especially the one proposed by the institutions above, in transforming the role of religion in international relations.

Testo completos uniqueness and originality renders his educational direction as pertinent for times and conditions that are similar to and prevalent in ours. On the grand scale, his thought process disrupts the classical sense of philosophy, metaphysics, and religion. This disruption of the classical Western consciousness is an aim in the contemporary realm of political thought, which, starting with the extensive criticism of modernity found in the works of Nietzsche, has been developed in the realm of political thought throughout the twentieth and onto the twenty-first century. Therefore, Machiavelli &ndash
who lived 500 years ago &ndash
is nevertheless the source for productive knowledge, analysis, and prognosis for the contemporary political crisis, a crisis due to the downfall of modernity. The presupposition of latter-day modernity, as being considered the best of all possible worlds, is no longer believable. Modernity, what was once considered as being utterly unique and superior in human history, is responded to today by critiques on class domination, Western imperialism, the dissolution of community and tradition, the rise of alienation, and the impersonality of bureaucratic power. Machiavelli supplants the dominant modern consciousness through being a source for a new artistic revolution, a revolution of consciousness through a humane call for strength in facing reality, in order to re-constitute a divergent set of epistemological and ontological discoveries, which are better aligned to the condition of the present-day than those formulated by the dominant Western modern consciousness.

of religion on formal and informal social control mechanisms that constitute main crime prevention factors of societies. As a set of values, religion has a social control function that constitutes a pressure to make members of a religion behave in accordance with the rules of that religion. By examining the extent of the correspondence between these religious rules and other social and formal rules we can see how religiosity could be a part of the social control mechanism, since religiosity means behaving according to religious rules. Religion, religiosity, formal and informal control mechanisms, the effects of religion on these mechanisms, crime, reasons of crime, crime prevention functions of religion for individuals, and effects of religiosity on crime commitments est. have been examined under the title of the relationship between religiosity and crime. Thus this study aims to find out social control functions of religion on crime through examining all these concepts and other related items by gathering data from 435 university students from Turkey.

Testo completoThis dissertation includes three essays that present a quantitative analysis of the policy implications of gender equality and religious attitudes as predictors of terrorism at the state level using a broad dataset. Essay one focuses on impact of gender equality, especially women's political empowerment on terrorism, both domestic and transnational. The second essay examines both gender equality attitudes and actual outcomes in social, economic and political spheres, to measure their effect on terrorism. The third essay analyzes the relation of religiousness in a society with incidents and lethality of terrorism. The overall findings of this thesis suggest that attitudes and norms of gender equality matter with regard to terrorism, but practices and outcomes matter more. Results also indicate that religious attitudes of a society are associated with lethality of terror attack. These findings have important policy implications for rethinking prevention of terrorism in an effective and innovative manner. The results strongly support investment in women's rights programs, promotion of religious tolerance and provision of social services as indirect policy solutions to curb the conditions that foster terrorism.

Testo completoAlevi Revival&rdquo
. The subject of this thesis, which claims that Alevis are in a search of identity rather than in a period of revival, is the sustainability crisis of the Alevis. Aleviness which has not been mentioned in the political sphere before has now turned into frequently spoken phenomenon. In this &ldquo
Open Aleviness&rdquo
period Alevis felt themselves more free and relieved and with this sense they started to claim more rights and freedoms. The most important and unexpected consequence of the period for the Alevis is the need for an identification of Aleviness. When Alevis realized the distance they have with Aleviness, they did not adopt different definitions of Aleviness made from different positions. Other identities of Alevis determine what kind of an Aleviness they would become. Nevertheless, while the variety of Aleviness understandings has increased, common points of different approaches have decreased. While Islamic Alevism which is one of the projects aiming at becoming hegemonic tries to sustain the tradition
the other one, Political Alevism refers to pressures and assaults of the past. As long as the Alevi elites can generate projects of Alevism which would encapsulate the tradition but differentiate itself from Islam and does not contradict with secularism
which could renew the traditional leadership
which could define positive elements
which have a mechanism of inclusion, and whose members will have the feeling of responsibility the sustainability crisis of Aleviness will deepen.

IN TURKEY Gedik, Esra M.S. Department of Political Science and Public Administration Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sibel Kalaycioglu Co-Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Cem Deveci February 2008, 169 pages The main objective of this thesis is to understand how mothers who lost their sons during the conflicts in East and Southeast of Turkey articulate martyrdom of their sons with nationalism, religion and motherhood
how these women who lost their sons, as a woman and a mother define and express themselves and their experiences after martyrdom. Before their sons are martyrized, these women were ordinary housewives, with the death of their sons, they get a new identity: being a mother of a martyr. In this thesis, it is examined that what being a mother of a martyr means for these women. Moreover, this study attempts to examine certain perceptions and assumptions of these women about nationalism, the state, religion, war and peace after martyrdom. For this aim, this study is based on interviews with mothers who do not realize that they virtually live in a war, on motherhood, war, politics, and peace. Therefore, this research is the study to grasp how discourses of nationalism and religion shape this new identity: being a mother of a martyr. While these women were ordinary housewives before martyrdom, after their sons&rsquo
death, their narratives as mothers of martyrs are cultivated by discourses of nationalism and religion. Consequently, is it possible for these mothers to develop an anti-war discourse as happened for examples in the world?

Testo completorcan, AySe Ezgi MSc., Graduate Program of Middle East Studies Supervisor: Dr. Erdogan Yildirim August 2007, 100 pages This thesis analyzes the process of nation-building in Lebanon in an historical context, covering the period staring from the declaration of the French Mandate in 1920 until the first civil war of 1958. The thesis defines nation-building as a process of transformation of the pre-modern form of religious identity into the modern ethnic and/or ethno-national identity, which develops along with state-making. In contrast to the claims in the literature that label all non-Western nation-building and state-making as deficient processes emerged as a result of the direct effects of Western colonialism, this study aims to establish an alternative approach in understanding the process of Lebanese nation-building. In this context the thesis evaluates the validity of the premises of the modern nationalism approaches in the literature on questions such as how far colonialism can be labeled as the primary source of Third World nationalism(s), and to what extent the nation-building processes were successful. The thesis claims that the Lebanese case presents a complex case, since nation-building was emerged not only emerged as a result of Western colonialism and power struggles but also did materialize because of the power struggles between and within domestic (Lebanon), regional (Arab states) and international (Europe and Ottoman Empire) actors.

malleable&rsquo
ground in the research. The research was conducted through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with a selected group of participants. The participants belong to two different religious cohorts, Shi&rsquo
is and Baha&rsquo
is. Within the scope of the research question, national and religious of the children were investigated profoundly by taking into consideration of related identity theories. In addition, childhood experiences of the children were examined in order to find out if there is any interplay between childhood experiences and national and religious identities. It was determined that ambit of a contested process of identities, national identity enunciated its vigour by far for all the participants. It was also ascertained that while for the Shi&rsquo

religious identity is still potent for the Baha&rsquo
i children in the host society. Moreover, the children&rsquo

s political views reconstructed in Kayseri. The participants&rsquo
interrupted childhood in Iran achieved a relative maintenance in Kayseri without any fragmentation due to relative free environment comparing to Iran.

Testo completoLa pensée ismaélienne contemporaine voit la tradition ismaélienne comme étant connectée à un passé historique basé sur des principes coraniques et les traditions du Prophète Muhammad et ses héritiers, les Imams chiites. Ainsi, les valeurs libérales comme la démocratie, le pluralisme et l'éducation au sein de l'ismaélisme contemporain sont en effet des formes contemporaines de principes éternels tirés de l'éthique coranique. L'Imam de la communauté ismaélienne, l'Aga Khan IV a précisé que les principes du pluralisme démocratique libéral sont le meilleur moyen de réaliser une éthique de vie islamique à l'époque actuelle. Afin de soutenir son double mandat d'améliorer la qualité de vie spirituelle ainsi que la qualité de vie matérielle de ses disciples, il a fondé Le Réseau Aga Khan de développement (AKDN). Grâce à ses programmes de développement rural, l'AKDN enseigne des valeurs libérales et les meilleures pratiques, et, de plus, est capable d'inspirer un sentiment universel de loyauté et de fraternité. Ainsi, l'AKDN est devenu un instrument clé dans la formation de la communauté ismaélienne transnationale. La communauté ismaélienne est fortifiée à travers le travail pratique et idéologique des institutions de l'Imamat, comme l'Institut d'Études ismaéliennes (IIS) de Londres (Royaume-Uni), une institution universitaire qui publie des ouvrages sur l'histoire et la pensée ismaélienne. L'IIS est le principal centre de recherche contemporaine sur l'ismaélisme, une tradition qui souffre d'un manque d'information étant donné ses longues années de persécution et sa marginalisation dans la communauté islamique. Il y a donc un manque actuel d'études sur cette tradition, surtout en ce qui concerne les contours de sa pensée contemporaine. Vu cette négligence de la part des chercheurs et l'ampleur du travail réalisé par les institutions ismaéliennes, l'IIS joue ainsi un rôle essentiel dans la compréhension de l'historiographie ismaélienne contemporaine et les préoccupations de la communauté actuelle. La production littéraire ayant rapport aux buts de cette thèse se limite donc aux travaux des savants qui travaillent dans les domaines de l'histoire et l'historiographie ismaéliennes et aux travaux à propos de la confluence entre l'éthique islamique contemporaine et la politique libérale. L'interprète principal, cependant, de la tradition contemporaine ismaélienne est l'Imamat ismaélien lui-même. Malgré le manque d'études scientifiques sur le travail de l'Imamat, il y a une historiographie implicite dans la production de l'Aga Khan - ses discours, interviews, et sa direction des institutions de l'Imamat - qui puisse souligner les thèmes jugés pertinents par lui et par la communauté ismaélienne en ce qui concerne leur conception d'une éthique islamique bien adaptée au monde moderne. La construction de son propre récit historique par l'ismaélisme contemporain propose l'image d'une minorité influente et intellectuelle qui fortifie sa dévotion à l'éducation institutionnalisée et à la gouvernance éthique grâce à un dévouement inébranlable à l'éthique du pluralisme, soutenu par la force de l'Imamat interminable, qui guide la communauté à travers les vicissitudes de la persécution récurrente. Ismaélisme contemporain, donc, s'appuie fortement sur son passé pour sa légitimité et pour se donner un élan pour son présent. En dernière analyse, la pensée ismaélienne contemporaine se considère comme profondément ancrée dans la tradition islamique et, grâce aux conseils de l'Imam, elle se sert d'une interprétation libérale des principes coraniques. Elle voit son passé comme étant un guide pour son présent, et, en même temps qu'elle propose que les valeurs libérales modernes sont en accord avec l'éthique coranique, elle soutient aussi que son interprétation des principes essentiels et de l'éthique de sa foi n'ont jamais changés. En accord avec la doctrine chiite, d'ailleurs, elle sait ajustée la forme de sa foi à la vie contemporaine.

Testo completoTandis que la plupart des études sur l'Afrique de l'ouest ont concentré sur l'étendu et le caractère de l'Islam soufi, il y a eu une transformation dramatique récente dans son influence politique et sociale. Les forces de la globalisation et de changement social et économique ont abouti dans des transformations parallèles en Afrique de l'ouest et ailleurs et partout dans le monde islamique. Dans le Ghana du nord, ou l'Islam soufi a été longtemps la forme dominante de la pratique religieuse et la politique, un nouveau forme de l'Islam plus orthodoxe a surgi qui n'a pas encore reçu suffisamment d'attention,. Une explication pour cette désaccord est le fait que l'étude de l'Islam africain a été dominé par les notions orientalistes et réductives d'un Islam africain statique, dépourvu d'histoire et décontextualisé des changements sociales et économiques importantes.qui ont eu un impact sur l'Afrique de l'ouest. En plus, le biais envers l'étude de l'Islam politique dans le Moyen Orient et l'Asie du sud a eu pour résultat que de rares chercheurs ont abordés les transformations importantes dans l'Islam ouest-africain qui sont enracinées localement mais liées sans doute au monde islamique en générale. Ma thèse vise à combler cette lacune dans la littérature sur le sujet par une examen des facteurs qui ont contribué au déclin de la soufisme et l'essor d'une vision nouvelle Wahhabie de l'islamisation dans deux domaines clefs -- l'éducation et la politique -- au niveau de l'état.Dans le Ghana du nord, les soufis ont traditionnellement représenté la classe religieuse ou dominante, comme ailleurs dans l'Afrique musulmane. Néanmoins, pendant les trois dernières décades, il y avait une réduction distincte dans le pouvoir politique et l'influence sociale du soufisme et une influence élargie correspondante sur la part de l'Islam Wahhabi. Malgré la manque d'attention, le soufisme en Ghana du nord a été éclipse par ce dernier, particulièrement dans les domaines de l'éducation et la politique – les deux champs d'intérêt capital pour le présent travail.Quels sont donc les facteurs qui peuvent expliquer cette transformation évidente dans le Ghana du nord? Ceci est la question de recherche principale de la présente thèse. Afin de répondre à la question, j'ai entrepris des investigations approfondies sur le terrain en Ghana du nord pour juger entre un bon nombre d'explications alternatives. Cela m'a permis d'analyser empiriquement les raisons et les concours de facteurs qui ont mené à cette transformation religieuse et sociale surprenante en Ghana du nord. Naturellement, ces explications ne s'exclurent pas forcément. Néanmoins, ma thèse scrute l'évidence pour chaque ligne d'argument et fait un choix entre les facteurs les plus importants qui ont contribué à la montée du « nouveau Islam » en Ghana du nord. Je soutiens que l'ascension du Wahhabisme là bas est en grande partie le résultat de changements politiques et socio-économiques qui sont spécifiques au lieu. C'est-à-dire, tout en admettant le rôle de liens internationaux dans la popularité courante de l'activisme Wahhabie, je montre dans ce mémoire que le rôle de la politique des partis et la contestation électorale dans les décades récentes étaient déterminants au succès du Wahhabisme en Ghana du nord. De plus, en bâtissant sur des recherches originales entreprises sur le terrain, je montre empiriquement que cette tendance vers une notion plus orthodoxe d'identification islamique et de pratique politique est décisivement enraciné dans les manières dans lesquelles les adeptes du Wahhabisme ont influencé, voire dominé, les institutions éducatrices nouvelles dans le Ghana du nord

Testo completoISLAMISM VS. REPUBLICANISM&rdquo
DEBATE IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN Arikan, Pinar M. Sc., Department of International Relations Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Meliha AltuniSik December 2006, 170 pages The objective of this thesis is to analyze the Islamist and republican features of the political regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It aims to identify the relationship between Islamism and republicanism in terms of institutional and practical means throughout the period since the establishment of the Islamic Republic. It seeks an answer to the question of how the Islamist and republican orientations that built up the political regime and the system of governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran have affected the domestic political and ideological developments. For this aim, firstly, the history of ulama-state relations as well as the history of constitutional tradition in Iran is discussed. Then, the impact of Islamism and republicanism in the process of establishment of the new regime in Iran is examined. Afterwards, the emergence of Islamism and republicanism as indigenous ideological currents and the political groups that appealed to these two orientations are analyzed with special emphasis to the role of Khomeini in this process. In the remaining part, the institutional and practical implications of the coexistence of Islamist and republican orientations are scrutinized during the presidencies of Rafsanjani and Khatami respectively. Finally, this thesis is concluded with an overall assessment of Islamism vs. republicanism debate with reference to the 2005 presidential elections.

Testo completoThe present study is an attempt to describe the perceptions on the part of congregants of the Black Missionary Baptist Church in New Britain, CT, with respect to the church's pursuit of social justice, measured in the midst of public rallies organized by the BMBC in the summer of 2013, protesting the acquittal of George Zimmerman, a white neighborhood watchman who shot black teenager Trayvon Martin. The researcher used three sources of data to measure perceptions (observations at the rally, a survey of, and interviews with, BMBC members, both during the time of the rally) and concluded that there is a basic foundational commitment to social justice, though there are indicators that the strength of this commitment is questionable. BMBC members were willing and able to attend and be engaged at a specified action-step with a social injustice symbol (like Trayvon Martin), but were less capable of following through or conceiving of action-steps beyond the rally.

Det kommer att belysas; hur man använder sig av medel som rädsla, tradition, politik, meningssökande med mera för att rekrytera amerikanen till att bli religiös, för att skapa sig en egen förmögenhet eller sitt egna religiösa imperium. Med en tillräckligt god retorisk förmåga och en karismatisk utstrålning kan auktoritära personer i USA påverka och influera - personer, samhället och grupperingar - med hjälp av religionen, för egennyttiga ändamål. Detta är enkelt för kritikern att se, men tyvärr inte för den religiöse amerikanen som lever mitt i det.
Vidare finner man att detta grundas i en inbyggd religiös mentalitet som härleds från gamla tider och att det amerikanska samhället är uppbyggt på detta, vilket sedan kan användas som ett maktmedel. Man kan konstatera att VI och DE fenomenet är en avsevärd och viktig komponent i detta maktspelet och är även amerikanens rädsla, mer eller mindre. Individen vill inte hamna utanför samhället som det socialiserats in i och är därför präglad av detta och kan därmed identifiera sig utefter det. Detta blir således ett tillstånd i vilket amerikanen finner sin trygghet, vilket oftast är en religiös sådan.

Testo completoOne major conflict some lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals face is how to maintain their religious affiliations while developing their sexual identity. Some of these individuals choose to reject theist ideology altogether. Very little is known about the atheist and theist differences among the LBG populations. This study aimed to explore relationship challenges that LGB individuals face when having differing religious ideologies from their parents. In addition, the study addressed the need to examine additive links of multiple potential oppressive forces when identifying as a LGB atheist.
The study found that all participants perceived having relationship strain when having a theist parent. However, participants who identified as atheists had more relationship strain than participants who shared the same theistic belief as their parents. Most participants were not “out of the closet” and reported the greatest relationship strain in almost all subscales.
The implications for social work practice is to emphasize the importance of theist belief, or lack there of, in family dynamics. In addition, social workers must advocate in religious institutions for civil treatment not only for LGB but for atheists as well.

Testo completoThis study, as well as the initial pilot study, are the first known, stand-alone, empirical studies of the Tibetan Buddhist tonglen meditation practice, which is intended to increase levels of compassion (and the benefits that come with that), in addition to reducing less helpful mind-states such as fear and egotism. The premise of this larger proof-of-concept study was to investigate whether tonglen meditation can 1) increase self-compassion and compassion for others, 2) in novice meditators 3) with very little instruction, and 4) short amounts of practice time. This study examined changes in self-compassion and compassion for others through a pre/post intervention study design (α = .05). Subjects (n = 53), who were novice meditators, were given only ten minutes of introduction and instruction; after which, they were asked to participate in an 18-minute guided tonglen meditation, practice on-the-spot tonglen for 30-seconds twice a day for six days, then do one additional 18-minute guided tonglen practice. Results showed a statistically significantly increase in the total scale score of self-compassion (p < .01) and statistically significant beneficial changes in each of the six subscales as measured by Neff's self-report questionnaire, the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). An increase in compassion for others, though trending up, could not be determined through Pommier's self-report questionnaire, the Compassion Scale (CS), due to a ceiling effect. In addition to the study results, this dissertation includes a detailed discussion of the findings and of the results from the qualitative feedback, which offers insight into the perceived benefits subjects reported, including a reduction in pain, increased communication skills, and the ability for greater perspective taking. The dissertation also contains an introduction to tonglen meditation, a tonglen troubleshooting guide, a chart of tonglen commentaries in English organized by century, and an extended literature review of a cousin compassion meditation practice, loving-kindness meditation (LKM).
