To accomplish this, I adopt a novel version of neoclassical realism, which considers the socially constructed nature of variables. The application of constructivist neoclassical realism facilitates a deeper comprehension of the reasons and mechanisms behind Iran’s embrace of unconventional interventionist policies in Azerbaijan. I argue that Iran’s jihadi field diplomacy is characterized by two main features: the use of military tools to achieve foreign policy goals and a distinct leadership structure that operates independently of the government. Then I analyze three turning points that shaped Iran’s jihadi field diplomacy toward Azerbaijan. Firstly, after a failed diplomatic mediation between Yerevan and Baku in May 1992, Iran intensified its military and ideological efforts in Azerbaijan. Secondly, during the June 1993 coup, Iran supported pro-Russian coup leader Colonel Huseynov and sought to persuade him to collaborate with ex-Communist Aliyev against nationalist President Elchibey. Aliyev later perceived this initial cooperation as a serious ideological and military challenge. Lastly, the perceived threat and Iran’s Quds Force connections to the leaders of the subsequent military uprisings adversely affected bilateral relations between Iran and Azerbaijan.KEYWORDS: Karabakh Warcoupconstructivist neoclassical realismIranAzerbaijan Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See ‘Mosāhebe-ye Efshā-shode-ye Zarif’, Iran International, 29 April 2021, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3tiTAUJTxo&ab_channel=IranInternational%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%B4%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%84.2 ‘Zarif: Diplomāsi va Meydān dar Kenār-e Ham Qarār Dārand’, Irna, 1 May 2021, https://bit.ly/3wyUrOk.3 The conflict over Karabakh started in 1988 and turned into war in 1992.4 ‘Goftogu-ye Jeneral Haqiqatpur’, Mehran, 25 October 2021, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5avxes7RWnI&ab_channel=mehran.review.5 For instance, see R.K.

{"title":"A confiscated trajectory of secularism: revisiting the critical case of Turkey","authors":"Murat Akan","doi":"10.1080/21567689.2023.2222073","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/21567689.2023.2222073","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT One mark of the rising research field of secularism and religion is that the field itself moved from area studies towards mainstream social science. This move can be traced through the increasing significance of Turkey. Turkey’s AKP was presented as a liberal and moderate challenge to radical Kemalist secularism in Turkish Studies, then analytical pillars of research in comparative politics and political theory relied on this presentation. After AKP’s authoritarian turn, how can we reflect on its past narration as liberal and moderate? As opposed to the thesis of rupture between the early and the late AKP, this article develops the thesis of confiscation. First, I resituate Kemalist secularism vis-à-vis French secularism with comparative history. I argue that institutionally it’s a limited, not a radical, secularism. Then, I examine gradual institutional changes during the AKP with statistics, court decisions, legislation and parliamentary discussions, and demonstrate that limited Kemalist secular institutions ease the way for AKP’s will to religionize society and the state. My analysis tackles a central thesis in the literature: secular institutions can make reasonable accommodations of religion without losing their own core. I show that in Turkey, accommodations of religion turn into confiscation of secular institutions.","PeriodicalId":44955,"journal":{"name":"Politics Religion & Ideology","volume":"17 1","pages":"242 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80236703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
