It argues that the popular revolts in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya possess the hallmarks of what historians would normally describe as 'revolutions', but uses primary evidence to dispute the widespread assertion that these should be explained as 'Facebook revolutions'. The article's core thesis is that the recent uprisings in the Middle East mark the beginning of the end of the postcolonial Arab state.

In order to overcome this, I argue we need a proper dialogical and critical approach that will overcome the shortcomings of the two above mentioned positions, and will inform Middle Eastern Studies with a emancipatory impulse.

I argue that by looking at the demand for socio-economic justice, Western commentators are also forced to look beyond their own (liberal capitalist) democratic triumphalism, and take seriously what can be learnt from these revolts.

Metamorphosis of The Arab World:
Political Geography and Alternative Maps

Editors: Barış Çoban, Barış Erdoğan

The so-called "Arab Spring", recent social movements in the Arab world, which can also be described as the "return of the oppressed", have attracted international attention on the Middle East and Arab world. The Middle East, North Africa and Turkey have been profoundly affected by this political and social metamorphosis. The objective of this project is to discuss “metamorphosis of the Arab world” in the context of international relations, politics, sociology, economics and communications and so on by the contribution of several academicians, researchers, politicians and journalists.
The geography of the Arab world is in a process of metamorphosis and consequently traditional structure of the Arab world, its power structure, power relations, politics and social relations have been fluctuated by the hand of the global super power(s). In fact, “All that is solid melts into air", this expression summarizes clearly what is happening in the Middle East and North Africa. The possible outcomes and/or result of this ongoing process are vague, and it needs to be discussed with its all aspects.
As a result, our focus is on “metamorphosis” of the Middle East and the Arab world, since it simultaneously means “metamorphosis” of the world. This book project aims to address and discuss transformation and subsequent reformation of societies and changes in the political geographies and mental maps of the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey from past to present with a multi-voice and multi-layer approach.

Métamorphose du monde arabe:
Géographie politique et des cartes alternatives
Editeurs: Barış Çoban, Barış Erdoğan
Les mouvenents sociaux recents apparus dans une large partie du monde arabe, appellés communement «printemps arabe», peuvent également être décrit comme le «retour de l'opprimé», ont attiré l'attention internationale sur le Moyen-Orient et le monde arabe. Le Moyen-Orient, l'Afrique du Nord et la Turquie ont été profondément touchés par cette métamorphose politique et sociale. L'objectif de ce projet est de discuter «la métamorphose du monde arabe » dans le contexte des relations internationales, politique, sociologie, économie et communication et ainsi de suite par les biais de la contribution de plusieurs universitaires, chercheurs, politiciens et journalistes.
La géographie du monde arabe est dans un processus de métamorphose et par conséquent la structure traditionnelle du monde arabe, sa structure de pouvoir, les relations de pouvoir, la politique et les relations sociales se sont gravement écroulés par la main de la(des) puissance(s) mondiale(s). En fait, «Tout ce qui est solide se dissout dans l'air", cette expression résume bien ce qui se passe au Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord. Les résultats possible et / ou résultat de ce processus en cours sont vagues, et ils doivent être discuté dans tous ses aspects.
Par conséquent, nous nous concentrons sur la métamorphose du Moyen-Orient et du monde arabe, puisqu'elle constitue à la fois la métamorphose du monde. Ce projet a pour objectif d'aborder et discuter de la transformation et la réforme de ces sociétés ainsi que les modifications de la géographie politique et cartes mentales du Moyen-Orient , de l'Afrique du Nord et de la Turquie du passé au présent, avec un multi-voix et une approche multicouche.

Arap Dünyasının Dönüşümü:
Siyasetin Coğrafyası ve Alternatif Haritalar

Editörler: Barış Çoban, Barış Erdoğan

Arap ülkelerinde yaşanan ve “Arap Baharı” olarak adlandırılan, “bastırılmış olanın geri döndüğü” kitle hareketleri sonrasında tüm dünyanın gözü yeniden Ortadoğu ve diğer Arap ülkelerine odaklandı. Ortadoğu, Kuzey Afrika ve Türkiye yaşanan siyasal ve toplumsal bu dönüşümden derin bir biçimde etkilenmekte. Bu sürecin uluslararası ilişkiler, siyaset, sosyoloji, ekonomi ve iletişim vb. alanları bağlamında tartışılmasını amaçlayan bu kitap projesi, farklı disiplinlerden akademisyen, araştırmacı, siyasetçi ve gazetecilerin katkılarından oluşacaktır.
Söz konusu coğrafyada bir yılı aşkın bir süredir küresel iktidar(lar)ın da farklı biçimlerde müdahil olduğu toplumsal hareketler geleneksel iktidar yapılarını, siyaset biçimlerini ve toplumsal ilişkileri parçalamakta. Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da “katı olan her şey buharlaşmakta”. Bu coğrafyada kurulma aşamasında olan yeni düzende siyasi ve sosyal aktörlerin bu buharlaşmanın ardından nasıl bir katılaşma süreci izleyeceği ise şimdilik belirsiz ve üzerinde çok boyutlu olarak düşünülmesi gereken bir konu.
Sonuç olarak, odak noktamız Ortadoğu’nun ve Arap Dünyasının dönüşümüdür, çünkü bu dönüşüm eşzamanlı olarak dünyanın dönüşümüdür. Bu kitap projesi Ortadoğu, Kuzey Afrika ve Türkiye coğrafyası bağlamında tarihten günümüze siyasal ve zihinsel haritaların değişimi ve toplumların dönüşümünü çoksesli, çok katmanlı bir yaklaşımla ele almayı ve tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.

New Media and Collective Action in the Middle East: Can Sociological Research Help Avoiding Orientalist Traps? Sociologica, 5, 3: 1-17.

This problem becomes more acute with regard to the role of media in the public sphere. The article first looks at Western perceptions of the protests in Iran that followed the contested presidential elections of 2009 and at the “Arab Spring” of 2011 (and particularly at the role of the blogosphere and of social networks as factors of mobilization) as a major test of the resilience of orientalist preconceptions. The author further argues how the focus on “new media” within collective action and revolutions, instead of helping break up orientalist bias, might have provided them a new ground, located right at the core of the sociology of media and communication, and resulting in trivializing the much more complex types of agency at work in the uprisings. The article concludes by showing how the studies collected in this symposium not only help us avoiding this neo-orientalist trap but go one step
further in problematizing taken for granted, sociological notions of collective action, the public sphere and even “media.”

Keywords: Orientalism, collective action, new media, public sphere, revolution.

Social networks are becoming tools of the revolution that are able to overthrow dictators. Since January 2011 authoritarian regimes in North Africa and Middle East have been aware of the destructive power of Facebook and Twitter that enable free, uncontrolled and instant transmission. Facebook and Twitter broke the monopoly of government information.
Uncontrolled materials and news from around the world are within the reach of anybody who is interested. Until now Facebook and Twitter, as a propaganda tool in Arab world, has appeared most often as weapon used by various fundamentalist terrorist organization have their websites on YouTube and Facebook. The situation has changed a lot within the last few months. Blog and Facebook websites and Tweeter seem to be the best proof to the fact that Egyptian, Tunisians, and some extend Libyan and Syrian revolution, had been ready in virtual world long before they become a fact. A totally new world, parallel to the real one, unexpectedly emerged from cyberspace. It turns out that young people had planned everything very well.

İsrail’e Rağmen Obama-Erdoğan İlişkisi Neden Başarılı?

by Emrah Usta

Ankara-Washington arasındaki diplomatik ilişkiler geçmişte olmadığı kadar etkili ve iyimser bir hava da gelişiyor.... more Ankara-Washington arasındaki diplomatik ilişkiler geçmişte olmadığı kadar etkili ve iyimser bir hava da gelişiyor. Ortadoğu coğrafyasında gelişen halk hareketleri karşısında Türkiye’nin takındığı tutum ve kararlılık stratejik müttefik Amerika ile bütünleştirici politikaya zemin hazırladı. Öte yandan Tel Aviv-Ankara arasında Mavi Marmara sonrası esen sert rüzgârlar, Arap Baharı karşısında değişen Türk imajıyla dibe vurmuş durumdadır. Palmer raporu öncesinde geliştirilmeye çalışılan yeni dil ve paradigma arayışı bu süreç sonrasında doldurulmuş, Türkiye raporu yok hükmünde saymıştır. İsrail ve Türkiye’nin en kötü dönemi ABD açısından yansıması ne oldu? Amerika, yaklaşan seçimler öncesinde Yahudi lobisine teslim olur mu? düşüncesi Türk karar alıcıları ve akademi çevresinde sıkça dile getirilen fikirler arasında yer alıyor.

Amerika’nın, Ankara-Tel Aviv arasındaki ilişkilerinin öncelikli olarak çok boyutlu olduğu söylenebilir. Bunlar elbette Amerika’nın dış politikasından kaynaklanan birtakım önceliklerinden öteye geçmiyor. Yaklaşan seçimler öncesinde başkan adaylarının propaganda faaliyetlerini düzenlemek için süre gelen fon arayışı ve Yahudi lobisi desteği elbette Amerika’nın iç politik dengelerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Öte yandan bölgedeki İsrail güvenliği ise, Amerika’nın gözetmekten kaçınmadığı bir diğer unsur. Özellikle Washington merkezli İsrail lobisi son dönemde gerçekleşen Türk Dış politikalarından oldukça rahatsız olduğu gözleniyor. Bunun aksine Amerika ve kongrenin sadece İsrail eksenli politikalar geliştiğini düşünmekte yanlış olur. Körfez savaşında İran’a bırakılmak istenilmeyen Irak, Obama döneminde İran’ın etkileşim sahası olabilir. Bölgedeki otoriter boşluktan kaynaklanan Şii nüfus alanının genişlemesi ve akabinde olası İsrail’in güvenlik paradigmalarının sarsılması Amerika için tehlike arz etmekte. Amerikan Kongresi’nin lobi ağırlık politikalardan dolayı İsrail’e tam destek verdiğini söylemek bu vesiyle yanlış olur. ABD’nin Başkan Carter’den bu yana sürdüğü ‘Tehdit: İran’ odaklı dış politika ise güvenlik açısından üst düzeyde tutulmak istenildiği biliniyor. Dışarı da tehdit İran kaygısı, içeride ise Yahudi Amerikalıların oyu ve desteği karar alıcıları ortak bir politika yapmaya itmişti. Arap Baharıyla Türkiye’nin yakın algı ve desteğini almak isteyen Washington’un ortak politikası NATO Füze Savunma Sistemi ile kırıldı. NATO Füze Savunma Sistemi nedeniyle İsrail-Türkiye ilişkisini kategorize eden Obama ve ekibi böylelikle Türkiye ile ilişkisinde 1 Mart Tezkeresinde olduğu gibi ikinci bir hayal kırıklığı yaşamamış, İran karşısında da belirli hat çizmeyi başarabilmiştir. Özellikle Türkiye’de geçtiğimiz yaz aylarında bu konu çok fazla konuşulmasa da Amerika için bu tutum ikinci bir kırılma noktası olmuştur. Beyaz Saray’ın Tezkere şokunu üzerinden atamamışken Füze Savunma Sistemi ile ilişkilerin test niteliğine bürünmesi ABD-Türkiye ilişkilerinin geleceği açısından etkili bir karar olduğu söylenebilir. Yalnız burada unutulmaması gereken bir diğer konu ABD’nin belki de net olarak İsrail-Türkiye ilişkilerini ayrı bir konu başlığı altında ele almasıdır. Bu davranış Amerika’nın son aylarda ülke politikalarında tanımlayıp sorunlu stratejik ortaklarına geliştirdiği yeni bir dil. Diğer yandan Arap Baharı karşısında hazırlıksız yakalanan Amerikan yönetiminin bu süre içerisinde Türkiye ile yakın telefon diplomasisi, Obama-Erdoğan ilişkilerine damga vurmuştu. Tunus, Libya ve Mısır karşısında Türkiye’den gelen mesajların Washington ile paralellik göstermesi yoğun ve olumlu bir diyalog kurulmasına imkân sağladı. Suriye konusundaki etkili dış politika Amerikan yönetimince yakından izlenirken Arap halklarının aldıkları tavır, Türkiye’yi politikalarda bir adım öne çıkardı. Haifa yaygın diplomasisi sonrasında yapılan Cenevre görüşmeleri samimi ve yapıcı bulunurken, Obama-Netanyahu arasında yaşanan kriz Amerika’daki farklı fraksiyonların Türkiye’ye bakış açısını değiştirmesine neden oldu. İşte tüm bu nedenler Türk-Amerikan ilişkilerinde altın çağı başlatırken ilerleyen aylarda Türkiye-İsrail arasında yeni paradigmanın oluşmasına zemin hazırlayabilir. Özellikle John Biden ve Panetta gibi üst düzey ziyaretlerde bulunan Amerika’nın bu süreçte Türkiye’nin desteğine ihtiyaç duyduğu kesin.

Czy możliwy jest trwały model bezpieczeństwa na Bliskim Wschodzie bez uwzględniania ruchów fundamentalistycznych?

To jednak naturalny trend wielu społeczeństw, które szukają wypełnienia pustki po totalitaryzmie. Świat arabski widzi słabość zachodu. Kłopoty USA, niezdecydowanie Europy oraz fakt porzucania „sojuszników”. Rewolty ludowe robią to, o czym nie mogły nawet pomarzyć ugrupowania fundamentalistyczne. Obalają znienawidzonych dyktatorów zapewniając możliwość swobodnego rozwoju dla wszystkich opcji politycznych i religijnych. Ostatnia rzecz, którą powinny w takim momencie czynić ugrupowania fundamentalistyczne, to zbyt gwałtowne ruchy mogące objawić społeczeństwu prawdziwy cel ich działań. Być może jest to powodem stosunkowo niewielkiej aktywności tych ugrupowań. Istnieje tez prawdopodobieństwo, że (analogicznie jak USA i Europa Zachodnia) zostały one zaskoczone szybkością i głębokością zmian oraz faktem, że dokonały tego społeczeństwa bez powoływania się na żadne aspekty religijne. Inaczej niż w 1979 roku w Iranie, gdzie odwrót od dyktatury szacha połączony był w naturalny sposób z rewolucją islamską. Nic jednak bardziej błędnego. Wystarczyło zobaczyć momenty modlitw na placu Tahrir w trakcie wielodniowych protestów. Islam wszędzie tam był obecny, jednak w innej niż przywykliśmy go widzieć formie. Protestujący ludzie umiejętnie oddzielali „boskie” i „cesarskie”. W fundamentalistycznym islamie wszystko jest „boskie” i to właśnie może być remedium zabezpieczającym przyszłe zmiany.

The Arab Spring and the Role of ICTs - Editorial Introduction

It began with the events of the Tunisian uprising in December 2010 and proliferated, leading to similar revolts later, in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, and other Arab nations.

While resistance movements and confrontations between the state and the rebels are ongoing in most of these countries at the time of this writing—namely in Libya and Syria—the focus of this feature section is limited to Tunisia, the initiator of this revolutionary wave, and to Egypt. Both revolutions happened almost simultaneously, and they share a number of similarities regarding communication technologies’ role in shaping the outcome of the uprisings. This collection of articles is meant to shed light on the role of new media during these revolutionary events. In Tunisia and Egypt, we have witnessed a new genre of revolution whose distinguishing feature lies in its organization by networks and particularly in social networks, which played an important informational and organizational role. Neglecting the complexity of these transformations, the media first attributed the overthrow of Tunisia’s Ben Ali and Egypt’s Mubarak to digital media, particularly social media and Facebook. Claims and attributions such as “This is a Facebook revolution” were common in the media and in the street, whereas deep problems of corruption and dysfunction in most of the Arab states were toxic. Tunisians and Egyptians decided to put an end to years of humiliation, corruption and deprivation. Having used Facebook, mobile phones, YouTube, or just word-of-mouth, a number of people—computer literate and analphabetic alike—gathered in the streets, protested, and some eventually died. But they won their peaceful and unarmed uprising;
they won their revolution.

The most basic of societal contracts—that children will one day become adults, contribute productively to society, and raise families of their own—has been broken for an entire generation of youth in the Arab world trapped behind a threshold. The success of various states in the region in the longer-term future will depend on a coherent strategy to improve education, increase employment opportunities, and assist young Arabs in affording the marriages necessary for youth to embrace adult social status.
