“…According to these approaches, national institutions are considered homogeneous entities subjected to similar laws of change and adaptation under the impact of Europeanization (Delanty & Rumford, 2005;Kaliber, 2014). This kind of bias may lead to ignoring historical backgrounds and specificities of distinct cases, and underestimating deviancies and discontinuities in absorbing Europeanization (Aydın-Düzgit & Kaliber, 2016). Moreover, considering the EU conditionality as an objective and unilinear input coming from Brussels and systematically applicable to and experienced by all societies engaged in Europeanization in similar modalities (Kaliber, 2014) may lead to relevant underestimations of domestic actors, which are mostly seen as filters of EU rules and regulations.…”

While the Europeanization literature has focused extensively on analysing progress towards the adoption of the European model, scant attention has been devoted to cases of resistance and contestation, which may lead to the emergence of a new phenomenon identified as de-Europeanization. In order to inquire on this phenomenon, a case study analysis will be applied to Serbian media freedom. Is this sector undergoing a process of de-Europeanization while the country is progressing toward full EU membership? The analysis demonstrates the recent consolidation of a de-Europeanizing trend, coinciding with the return to power of former Milošević ruling parties.

“…Starting in the 2010s, the weakening of its membership prospects, coupled with its newfound confidence as an emerging power, undermined Turkey's commitment to EU membership (Rumelili and Suleymanoglu-Kurum 2017;Aydın-Düzgit and Kaliber 2016). Societal anxiety regarding the future direction of the country spilled over from the opposition to the public, and the void left by the unsettling of the established institutions and an incomplete EU-driven reform process paved the way for opportunistic factional struggles within Turkish military and bureaucracy.…”

While an extensive part of the conflict transformation literature stresses the importance of transforming the identities of conflict parties through recognition, it fails to recognise the propensity of such transformations to generate ontological insecurity and dissonance, and consequently a possible backlash towards antagonistic identities. Drawing on agonistic thought, we develop a conception of agonistic recognition, premised on non-finalism, pluralist multilogue and disaggregated recognition. We suggest that these elements of agonistic recognition may guard against the development of ontological insecurity and dissonance in recognition processes. We comparatively analyse the connections and tensions between recognition, ontological insecurity/ dissonance and identity backlash experienced during the transformation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the context of the Oslo Peace Process in the 1990s and Turkey's 'rapprochement' with Greece in the context of its EU accession process in the 2000s. We also assess the presence of the elements of agonistic recognition in these two conflict transformation processes. Our contribution constitutes an important step towards the specification of agonistic peace in terms of its underlying recognition processes and in developing the empirical study of agonistic elements in actual conflict transformation processes.

This article focuses on the relationship between Alevis and the Turkish and German states. It does so by examining the Turkish Alevi Opening (2009–2010) and the German Islam Conference (2006–present), two unprecedented official platforms aimed at improving Alevis’ political participation. The study asks why such state-sponsored initiatives came into existence in Turkey and Germany, and why the German Islam Conference has proven more successful from the perspective of Alevis. It argues that even though the diffusion of EU norms and pressure from transnational advocacy networks have increased awareness regarding the Alevi issue, domestic factors have been more salient in the emergence and outcome of these initiatives in both countries.
