This book aims to address both the historical roots and the conceptual structure of populism, to address different aspects of the ongoing deep conceptual debates and to contribute to the literature through original studies. While the classical definition of populism that focuses on the distinction between "the people" and "the elites" continues, its reliance on new media technologies, its relationship with changing modes of political representation and identification, and its increasing ubiquity need to be explained. Therefore, it is necessary to re-discuss populism in the context of the transforming global media. In this new media environment, it is important to abandon the view that populism exists as a direct or unmediated phenomenon between the leader and the people, and to explore and demonstrate the intensely mediated nature of populism. This book aims to present a different perspective on populist discourse and action, thanks to the ubiquity, easy accessibility, increasing speed and scope of communication technologies.

Conspiracy Theories in the United States and the Middle East is the first book to approach conspiracy theorizing from a decidedly comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Whereas previous studies have engaged with conspiracy theories within national frameworks only, this collection of essays draws attention to the fact that conspiracist visions are transnational narratives that travel between and connect different cultures. It focuses on the United States and the Middle East because these two regions of the world are entangled in manifold ways and conspiracy theories are currently extremely prominent in both. The contributors to the volume are scholars of Middle Eastern Studies, Anthropology, History, Political Science, Cultural Studies, and American Studies, who approach the subject from a variety of different theories and methodologies. However, all of them share the fundamental assumption that conspiracy theories must not be dismissed out of hand or ridiculed. Usually wrong and frequently dangerous, they are nevertheless articulations of and distorted responses to needs and anxieties that must be taken seriously. Focusing on individual case studies and displaying a high sensitivity for local conditions and the cultural environment, the essays offer a nuanced image of the workings of conspiracy theories in the United States and the Middle East.

Conspiracy theories are no longer just a curiosity for afficionados but a politically salient theme in the age of Trump, Brexit and "fake news".

It provides a nuanced overview of the discourses of Turkish conspiracy theorists and examines how these theorists argue for and legitimize their worldview. The author discusses a broad range of conspiracy theories, including some influenced by Kemalist and Islamist perspectives as well as those of the ruling Justice and Development Party. The most influential authors, books, references and images within the conspiracist milieu are all examined in detail. This book will be an important source for scholars interested in extremism in Turkey and the societal and political impact of conspiracy theories.

“ARIANA GRANDE!” Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluş gayesinin esası, yakın bir gelecekte tüm milletleri “İnsanlık Rotası’nda” birleştirecek yapıyı kurabilmekti. Çünkü, Anadolu insanı, bu “yüksek bilince” ulaşabilecek genetik ve kozmik aktarımlarla donatılmıştır. Anadolu’nun, zor dönemlerde Seçilmiş Lider, yani Yaradan tarafından seçilmiş ve insiye edilmiş lider çıkarabilme potansiyelinin yüksek oluşu, tesadüfi olayların değil genetiğe ve bilince işlemiş “kültürel kodların” neticesiyle olmuştur. Asil Kan olarak seçilmiş, vazifeli olan kişiler icazete ihtiyaç duymadan kararlar alırlar. Ayrıca onlar, “devlet yönetme” iradesine ilave olarak yeni bir “devlet kurma” iradesine de sahiptirler. İşte bundan dolayıdır ki tüm “inisiyatifi-sorumluluğu” üzerine alan Başkomutan Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün tarih sahnesine çıkışı tesadüfi bir olay değildir. Atatürk’ün yeni bir “Devlet Düzeni” kurmasındaki amacı, gelecekte yetişecek olan seçilmiş liderlerin bir araya gelerek yeni bir “Dünya Düzeni” kurabilmelerini sağlamaktı. Bir seçilmiş lider, kendisinden öncekilerin “taşıyıcısı”, kendisinden sonra geleceklerin ise “yol göstericisi” konumunda, geçmişten geleceğe doğru bir “irtibat hattı” oluşturabilecek potansiyele sahiptir. Şimdi yeni liderin zamanı, kozmik aktarımların yapıldığı, seçilmiş olanın belirlendiği ve tüm donanımlarının tamamlandığı yeni lider, Asil Kan, Ariana Grande, yarım kalan ikinci 19 sürecini tamamlamak üzere aramızda. Otobüste, uçakta, gemide, çarşıda, pazarda aramızda. Sürecin adı ikinci ATA-TÜRK sürecidir. Unutmayalım! Dünyayı yönetme yetkisi Oğuz Ata ve ondan gelen Türk soyuna verilmiştir. Kesintiler olur, sıkıntılar çıkar, dar zaman aralıklarında yine TÜRK hükmeder. Tıpkı yüz yıl önce zaferle taçlandırıp hükmeden Gazi Mareşal Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’te olduğu gibi. Atatürk’ün gizlenen ve kutsal vasiyetini, kısaca BÜYÜK YEMİN’i bu kitapta bulacaksınız!

A theological and historical exploration of the connection between Islam and Judaism through the single most-mentioned character in the Quran: Moses. There is one human mentioned in the Quran more than any other: Moses. Why is it that the Jewish prophet dominates the Islamic scripture? Because he is the role model for Muhammad, Islam’s own prophet. Because Islam, just like Christianity, is deeply intertwined with Judaism — although surprisingly little attention has been given to this fascinating connection between the two religions. Author and journalist Mustafa Akyol takes readers on a theological and historical walk through that much-neglected side of the Abrahamic triangle: the Judeo-Islamic tradition. Using Moses’ presence in the Quran as a jumping-off point, Akyol explores the first historical encounter between Muslims and Jews, the creative symbiosis and mutual enrichment that occurred between the two belief systems in medieval times, and the modern emergence, development, and perception of the two religions. At a time of bitter conflict in the Middle East, The Islamic Moses dives into the older, deeper, and often unexpectedly brighter story of Jews and Muslims. Readers of any background will be surprised by the common historical and theological ground that exists between the two religions, and will come away with a better understanding of both.

“EN KUSURSUZ CİNAYET ÇARESİZ BİRİNE SIRT ÇEVİRMEKLE İŞLENİR.” Halktan gelen tüm itirazlara rağmen ülkenin en güzel arazileri dünyanın en hızlı büyüyen şirketlerinden biri olan KRAYONİK’e satılmıştı. Ne kendisini ağaçlara zincirleyen aktivistler ne de ruhunu henüz şeytana satmamış siyasetçiler 10 futbol sahası büyüklüğünde dünyanın en büyük yeraltı deposunun kurulmasını engelleyebildi. Yerin üstünde, İstanbul’un en büyük gökdelenine sahip olan KRAYONİK, artık yerin altına da hâkim olmak istiyordu. KRAYONİK, zamanı durdurup kendini geleceğe aktarmak isteyen “zengin züppelerin” hayallerini gerçekleştirme aracı olduğu kadar, dermansız hastalıklarla boğuşan insanların da son sığınağıydı. En azından parası yetenlerin... Fakat umudu zamanın sırtına yükleyenler, yıllar sonra hiç beklemedikleri bir sonla karşı karşıya kalacaklarından bihaberdi: Belki de zaman her şeyin ilacı değildi.
