Description

In this edited volume, the authors argue how neo-liberal subjects respond to neoliberal uncertainties, risks, and threats in Turkey through either resilience or resistance, -or both-. The contributors form the book into two symbiotic axes. First, they display how global capitalism and neo-liberalism affect the neo-liberal subjects and their environment from different perspectives, and generate their vulnerabilities in Turkey. Moreover , they reveal how neo-liberal subjects execute resilience/resistance in order to survive against the vulnerabilities created by neo-liberalism and its agents. In doing so, the contributors demonstrate how resilience/resistance of neoliberal subjects makes themselves political. They show this by focusing on resistance and resilience from a variety of Turkish perspectives, including environmental groups, social classes, social media, and gender.

“I have now read the manuscript of Neoliberalism and Global Insecurities: Thinking Resilience/Resistance in Turkey with great interest. It is one of the most interesting and stimulating pieces of academic work I have read for a long time. It is an excellent compendium of exceptional texts based on primary research and a comprising in-depth analysis with profound implications for Turkey’s future social and political fabric.”

Bogdan Szajkowski, University of Exeter
The book Neoliberalism and Global Insecurities: Thinking Resilience/Resistance in Turkey edited by Rasim Özgür Dönmez brings very thoughtful insights into contemporary Turkey. Although it mostly refers to Justice and Development Party, the analyses reach beyond the current ruling group and outline the suppression coming from neo-liberal and neo-conservative dominance which predate Erdogan's regime. All in all, this book is a must-read to gain a greater understanding of current developments in Turkey and the societal and political forces driving them.
