“…However, the European Commission’s discourse is more geared towards presenting Turkey as a threatening other to Europe when it comes to Turkey’s EU accession (Ibid). Similarly, Suvarierol and Aydın-Düzgit (2011: 165) indicate that despite having a cosmopolitan agenda evidenced through its institutional motto of ‘unity in diversity’, the Commission’s depiction of Cosmopolitan Europe ‘stop[s] at the borders of Turkey’. The Commission officials resort to stereotypical depictions of Turkey based on culture and identity (Ibid).…”

This research aims to offer a valid answer to the question of how Turks and Europeans perceived each other in cultural and identity terms throughout history. With this purpose, it makes a thorough analytical review of the extant scholarly literature on identity relations between Turkey and Europe. There is an evident lack of scholarly attention on the evolution of mutual representations comparatively in the long durée. Most scholarly works focus on specific periods of time and investigate either how Turks view Europe or visa-versa. This systematic review provides the basis for an evolutionary analysis of mutual identity representations between Turkey and Europe over more than a two-hundred-year period. The period under focus starts with the French Revolution (1789) triggering intensive identity debates between Ottomans and Europeans and lasts until mid-2010s when bilateral relations between Turkey and the European Union went into disarray. This long period has been divided into four shorter periods each starting and ending with a remarkable event in world politics or bilateral relations. The study examines each period in relation to four focal issues, namely, nationalism, civilization, status in international society, and state-citizen relations generating intensive identity discussions in both Turkey and Europe. The article first presents the key findings of the relevant literature on European representations of Turkey and on Turkish representations of Europe in the four historical periods. Then it scrutinizes the extant literature on each period with respect to the four focal issues. Overall, the study, through a comprehensive literature review, demonstrates the ways in which mutual identity representations in Turkey and Europe have been contested over a two-hundred-year period.

“…Struggling to make their voices heard, feminist scholars [9,14,18] have developed diversified theoretical approaches, creating critical spaces where the concerns and issues of the vast majority of women in the world are articulated, including those that do not refer to the white, heterosexual, middle class of Western countries. This process is prompted by the intersectional theoretical and methodological approach, anchored in Black feminist and postcolonial feminist theory, which deconstructs the disempowerment of marginalized women and points to the interactions between diverse forms of subordination and to how these interactions are reflected in different structural opportunities for different groups of women (cf.…”

This study questions the "clash of civilizations" thesis. Referring to the cosmopolitanization process as defined by Beck and Sznaider (2010), I analyze the cosmopolitanization of feminism, that is, the gradual recognition of "the others' others", the women, through the evolution of their political rights-the right to elect and be elected-at a global level. In this context, the descriptive representation of women, their substantive representation, and their voices within civil society in the North and the South highlight the fact that feminism is undergoing a process of cosmopolitanization, albeit in a slow and sporadic way. I present this argument from a postcolonial feminist perspective and base my research on NGOs' data and on data provided by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN-Women. First, I analyze the cosmpolitanization process as applied to feminism. Then, following Beck and Sznaider (2010), I describe how this process is articulated 'from above' (top-down cosmopolitanization), referring to electoral data from around the world and to international law. Further, I relate to the cosmopolitanization of feminism 'from below', referring to feminist theories, cyberfeminism and the global civil/feminist society. In conclusion, I discuss the common future of feminism and cosmopolitanism.
