Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: To inform students about political culture, to have knowledge about the evolution of social movements and to familiarize them with social movements.
Course Content: Today, when the claims that modernity has left its place to post-modernity are discussed and globalization is perceived as an inevitable process, changes in political culture are also noteworthy. The course will discuss the features that make the social movements that accompany these changes different from the previous ones, for example the characters of environmentalist, feminist or ethnic movements; The tensions between community-individuality, equality-difference, locality-globality will be emphasized, and the problem of continuity-discontinuity of these movements will be addressed. The course will also focus on Turkey, questioning the existence and nature of new social movements in Turkey.
