19: Türkei am Wendepunkt
-
Hauptschule
Seminar
/
in englischer SpracheDie Türkei hat im letzten Jahrzehnt drastische Veränderungen erfahren, die in einem Wechsel zu einem eigenartigen Präsidentschaftssystem gipfelten. Des Weiteren scheint sich die türkische Außenpolitik vom Westen weg zu einer unbekannten Zukunft zu verlagern. Für ein besseres Verständnis der türkischen Politik und der zugrunde liegenden Ausgangssituation, wird der komplexe historische und soziale Prozess und dessen Konsequenzen im Rahmen der Interkonnektivität betrachtet und diskutiert.
Die Gründe für die dramatischen Veränderungen sind sowohl national als auch international. Im im Allgemeinen scheint es eine globale Verschiebung hin zu autoritären Regimen zu geben. Daher ist es notwendig, die nationalen Ereignisse der Türkei auf diese globalen Veränderungen und ihre Ursachen zu beziehen.
Das Seminar konzentriert sich mehr auf den Hintergrund und die Perspektiven des Demokratie-Defizits, anstatt sich über die Ergebnisse der autoritären politischen Verschiebung zu beklagen. Dennoch werden die gegenwärtigen Ergebnisse der undemokratischen Maßnahmen mit individuellen Einzelfällen in Bezug gesetzt. Es wird ein Fokus auf die langfristigen Auswirkungen gelegt, und das Verhältnis zu den KurdInnen im Land und außerhalb der Grenzen der Türkei betrachtet. Die Außenpolitik der Türkei ist ebenfalls ein wichtiger Punkt der besprochen wird, so z.B. die Regionalpolitik, die Beziehungen zu den westlichen Verbündeten und der EU-Region.
