DESCRIPTION:Understanding Erdoğan's 'New Turkey': Identity Politics Inside 
 Out  A Talk by Lisel Hintz\, Assistant Professor of International Relation
 s and European Studies\, Johns Hopkins University&nbsp\; In this talk base
 d on her new book from Oxford University Press\, Dr. Hintz explores the ri
 se of Ottoman Islamism as an understanding of Turkish national identity th
 at challenges a previously dominant Western-oriented\, secularist form of 
 Turkishness. She analyzes how Turkey's ruling AKP and leader Recep Tayyip 
 Erdoğan used the EU accession process to weaken Republican Nationalist obs
 tacles to their Ottoman Islamist proposal for Turkish identity back home\,
  thus opening space for Islam in the public sphere and a foreign policy ta
 rgeted at achieving leadership for a "New Turkey" in the Middle East. This
  "inside-out" approach to identity politics sheds light on otherwise confu
 sing domestic and foreign policy shifts on the EU\, Syria\, Russia\, the K
 urdish conflict\, civil-military relations\, and much more.&nbsp\;Sponsori
