Insight Turkey invites manuscripts for its Winter 2010 issue that will explore European policies and debates on “Turkish Communities and Muslim Citizens of Europe” with theoretical reflections and analyses of their social, cultural, political and religious positions. We seek original manuscripts from scholars across the social sciences and humanities, both discipline specific and interdisciplinary, as well as contributions from policy circles. In this special issue, which will be edited by the guest editor Professor Talip Kucukcan of SETA Foundation & Marmara University, our
goal is to showcase high-quality single case or comparative studies and stimulate a lively debate on the subject.
The topics suitable for inclusion in the special issue include but are not limited to:
- Identity construction among the Turkish and Muslim communities in Europe,
- Civil society organizations, transnational networks and Turkish-EU relations,
- Representation and political participation on local, national and EU levels,
- Post 9/11 state policies towards migration, integration and discrimination,
- Religious groups, institutions, movements and Islam in the European public sphere,
- Position of Turks/Muslims in education, housing and employment,
- Impact of the rise of nationalism, racism and xenophpbia on the Turks/Muslims,
- Cultural and religious practices among host societies, Turkophobia / Islamophobia,
- Media discourse on Turks, Turkish-EU relations, media consumption among Turks.
