{"title":"Theory importation and the death of homegrown disciplinary potential: an autopsy of Turkish IR","authors":"Ersel Aydinli","doi":"10.1080/01436597.2023.2257141","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01436597.2023.2257141","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractA primary premise of the Global IR initiative is its emphasis on world history as a basis for global IR theorising. While non-Western contributions are thus critical, periphery IR disciplinary communities operate under the dominance and homogenising effect of core IR theories based on Western history and intellectual traditions. An import-­dependent culture takes over periphery disciplinary communities, neutralising their potential for original IR production and theory creation. This study explores these assumptions by focusing on the case of Turkish IR; providing an evaluation of its evolution and current status, and suggesting lessons it might have for other periphery communities and the future of Global IR overall. It offers a longitudinal qualitative investigation of Turkish IR scholars’ perceptions of their community’s evolution. They suggest that Turkish IR has become a dependent ­consumer of core IR theory and devalued its history base, leaving it bifurcated between a minority ‘core-of-the-periphery’ who operate as ‘compradors’, copying and marketing global core knowledge, and a majority ‘periphery-of-the-periphery’, who remain voiceless, disconnected and resentful. Ultimately, the local community is unable to offer original contributions to the globalisation of IR, and the global IR movement is structurally diminished through the exclusion of large portions of the scholarly community.Keywords: Global IRIR theoryTurkish IRdependencyperiphery Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 I am well aware of the various problems involved with using terms like ‘core’ and ‘periphery’, ‘West’ and ‘the rest’, or even global North and South. They are at best imprecise, and they run the risk of reifying binary hierarchies in the discipline (Alejandro Citation2017; Gelardi Citation2020). Nevertheless, they provide familiar terms for referring to a distinction that is not only identified and discussed at length in the literature, but is, equally importantly, clearly recognized in the lived experiences of the ‘periphery’ scholars whose perspectives are the primary focus of this article. For this reason the terms are used here, and defined in this article with a broadly linguistic understanding of the ‘core’ referring to North America, the UK and Oceania, and the ‘periphery’ being comprised of the non-Anglo-American ‘rest’.Additional informationNotes on contributorsErsel AydinliErsel Aydinli is a professor in the Department of International Relations at Bilkent University in Ankara.

It aims to clarify the making of the modern world order through the dialectic between the will to dominate and the will to resist. As conventional theories of international relations have been largely focused on the dominating powers, we attempt to highlight the constructive power of the countries from the Global South. By analysing the state-making within, and cooperation among, the Global South countries, we argue that the pursuit of human emancipation and national liberation makes countries in the Global South active agents in the creation of the world order and in human history in general.

The purpose is to unveil the structure of the state that produces conflicting experiences of elite women in Africa’s two public spheres, namely, the civil realm and the customary domain. In recent decades, privileged women have occupied political leadership positions in Uganda and Africa. However, things are different in the kingdoms and cultural institutions of the former British colony in which open despotism and the limited inclusion of women in leadership have persisted without causing much alarm. To highlight the coherence of these two seemingly contradictory situations, I extend the notion of the bifurcated state beyond the politicisation of ethnicity—for which the concept was originally formulated—to the politicisation of gender. Not only does the theory illuminate the politicisation of identity, but it also accounts for the differentiated manner in which identity is politi-cised in different publics.","PeriodicalId":48280,"journal":{"name":"Third World Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47806128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To apply this conceptual framework, we discuss the case of Spanish international development. Thus, we aim to understand and explain the policy journey through which Spain has started to use new policy practices related to horizontal cooperation with emerging donors in Latin America. The article proceeds by first analysing the political discourse of the Spanish government on international development. Second, we triangulate the initial findings with information coming from peer reviews and survey data, analysing the impact and perceptions of Spanish international development policies. The analysis shows the relevance of a complexity approach when analysing international development governance mechanisms and emerging policy practices. This sheds light on the challenges of the related learning journey, with potential relevance across policy topics in international development.","PeriodicalId":48280,"journal":{"name":"Third World Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45644131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
