Lecture
Beyond modernization. Governing through intermediaries in Turkey
Elise Massicard (Sciences Po Paris CERI)
Abstract
This presentation draws on an original research on muhtarlık - the oldest institution surviving from the Ottoman Empire. It argues that despite being often despised as a remnant of the past, muhtars are institutionalized intermediaries still crucial to everyday forms of government, even in the age of e-devlet. It shows that personalized interactions are not some sort of parasitizing of institutions but integrated into vernacular forms of government - and therefore that the "modern" state depends on informal realities to function, without being capable of controlling them. In that perspective, it intends to break with the dominant vision of Turkish politics in terms of modernization.
