“Serhun Al makes a major conceptual contribution by developing a fourfold
typology of nationhood, while offering ‘hyphenated Turkishness’ both as
a theoretical possibility and a better description of empirical reality in a
changing society. Theorizing at the intersection of international relations
and domestic politics, Al’s book inspires fresh thinking about Turkey’s past,
present, and future.”
Şener Aktürk, Koç University, Turkey
“This book explains when states change their minority policies through an
insightful historical analysis based on the Turkish case. It combines an indepth case study with rigorous theoretical and conceptual discussion. As such
this study will be indispensable to scholars and students interested in nationbuilding, national identity construction, and state-minority relations.”
Senem Aslan, Bates College, US
“Serhun Al’s theoretically guided, empirically rooted and historically
grounded work helps us to understand when and under what conditions
state policies toward minorities change. He has produced an important
and erudite contribution to a set of hotly contested topics in the study of
state-minority relations by focusing on Ottomanism, Turkish nationalism,
and multiculturalism. This is a very significant contribution to the literature on nationalism, state-minority relations and Turkish studies. This is a
remarkable achievement.”
M. Hakan Yavuz, University of Utah, US
“Patterns of Nationhood and Saving the State in Turkey is a welcome contribution to the literature on nationalism, state-making and identity politics.
Having a genuine comparative perspective from various geographical regions
and an interdisciplinary analysis, Patterns of Nationhood establishes linkages
between international norms and domestic political actors, while at the same
time offering a fresh and astute look at identity-formation and the politics of
nationalism from the late nineteenth century until the twenty-first century.”
Umut Uzer, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
Patterns of Nationhood and Saving
the State in Turkey
Patterns of Nationhood and Saving the State in Turkey tackles a theoretical
puzzle in understanding the state policy changes toward minorities
and nationhood, first by placing the state in the historical context of the
international system and second by unpacking the state through analysis
of intra-elite competition in relation to the counter-discourses by minority
groups within the context of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey.
What explains the persistence and change in state policies toward minorities
and nationhood? Under what conditions do states change their policies toward minorities? Why do the state elites reconsider the state-minority relations and change government policies toward nationhood? Adopting a
comparative-historical analysis, the book unpacks these research questions
and builds a theoretical framework by looking at three paradigmatic policy
changes: Ottomanism in the mid-19th century, Turkish nationalism in the
early 1920s, and multiculturalism in Turkey in the early 2000s. While the
book reveals the role of international context, intrastate elite competition,
and non-state actors in such policy changes, it argues that state elites adopt
either exclusionary or inclusionary policies based on the idea of “survival of
the state.”
The book is primarily an important contribution to studies in ethnicity
and nationalism. It is also an essential resource for students and scholars
interested in Comparative Politics, Middle East Studies, the Ottoman
Empire, and Turkey.

Acknowledgments
This book began as a dissertation at the University of Utah in Salt Lake
City, where I started the doctoral program in political science back in 2009.
It took around six years to build the intellectual and historical background,
theoretical framework, and empirical data to finally complete the dissertation in 2015. Then I moved back to my hometown, Izmir, and joined the
Department of Political Science and International Relations (IR) at Izmir
University of Economics in 2016, where I tediously worked on turning the
dissertation into this book. I am grateful to everyone who was involved
in this long period of my life, during which I’ve become a curious social
and political scientist who’s never tired of asking research questions and
a motivated teacher who enjoys sharing his academic and life experiences
with his students.
In Utah, my dissertation committee provided all the intellectual and
scholarly support towards the completion of my degree. My advisor,
M. Hakan Yavuz, pushed me to understand contemporary Turkish politics within a broader historical and transnational perspective. Our everyday
conversations about the ethnic, religious, and nationalist dimensions of the
late Ottoman Empire and contemporary Turkey taught me how to overcome
shortsighted analyses on modern Turkey. Peregrine Schwartz-Shea trained
me methodologically and educated me on what good social science research
should look like, beyond quantitative vs. qualitative paradigms. Claudio A.
Holzner critically encouraged me to situate the Ottoman/Turkish political
development into the broader questions of comparative politics, along with
studies in ethnicity and nationalism. Howard P. Lehman brought his IR
perspectives into my overall argument, and Wade M. Cole contributed with
his great scholarship in the sociological dimensions of global human and
minority rights, which opened up my work towards more interdisciplinary
understandings.
Other political science department members at Utah also provided
great feedback and insights where I intermittently got stuck with particular questions. Edmund Fong’s profound feedback, with comparative insights from ethnic and racial relations in the United States, informed me
how the mechanisms and patterns of state-minority relations in different
x

geographical contexts can look alike. Steven Johnston’s reading suggestions
on understanding patriotism and nationalism greatly informed my theoretical
perspective. Steven E. Lobell’s teachings on IR theories, particularly realism and state security, contributed to my understanding of where debates in
comparative politics and IR can intersect. Mark Button and Brent J. Steele
were always available for all graduate students and their questions about the
profession and academic progress.
Moreover, Julie Stewart’s teachings in sociology with regard to inequality and social movements in Latin America broadened my intellectual and
academic horizon beyond Turkey. Overall, these great scholars one way
or another trained and educated me on how to think and write like a social scientist in general and a political scientist in particular, with theories,
systematic methods, and broader questions beyond the Ottoman/Turkish
context. I should also mention the magnificent Marriott Library and the
staff there, who supplied all the primary and other resources I needed for
the writing process.
My cohorts and great friends in the graduate school all contributed to my
colorful social and academic life in Salt Lake City and elsewhere: Masaki
Kakizaki, Douglas Byrd, Ramazan Hakki Oztan, Saban Kardas, Hakan
Erdagoz, Ilker Aslantepe, Anil Bolukoglu, Anil Aba, Alan Hali, Kerem

Hepdogan, Dogan Demir, Matt Haydon, Bekir Halhalli, Moldiyar Yergebekov,
Alper Dogan, Can Ozcan, Taylan Egen, Yucel Yigit, and many other great people of the beautiful state of Utah.
Before moving to Utah, Jess Morrissette and George Davis at Marshall
University prepared my academic infrastructure for the doctoral program
in political science.
In turning the dissertation into this book, I had a chance to receive
valuable feedback and exchange ideas with many other scholars, including
Şener Aktürk, Nicole Watts, Nukhet Ahu Sandal, Senem Aslan, Onur
Bakiner, Gunes Murat Tezcur, Cem Emrence, Ryan Gingeras, Umut Uzer,
and Mija Sanders.
In my frequent visits to Diyarbakir to enter the world of Kurdish politics,
Vedat Kocal has been a great local academic and social guide. In my visit
to Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2016, Emel Elif Tugdar and Alan Hali helped
me to put the Turkish and Kurdish politics into a broader regional context.
My academic travels, talks, discussions, and exchanges of ideas in different
locations across the globe, such as Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Minneapolis, Tokyo, Washington, D.C., Istanbul, Ankara, Mardin, Diyarbakir,
Erbil, and Tbilisi, all intellectually, empirically, and theoretically shaped my
arguments in this book. I previously presented various parts of my work in
different workshops and academic meetings. For instance, my research design
mostly developed at the Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research
held at Syracuse University in June 2013. I also had a chance to discuss my

work and receive feedback from various colleagues at this two-week workshop, including Talha Kose, Dilan Okcuoglu, Ali Zeren, and Ruchan Kaya.
Again, in 2013, my dissertation advisor, M. Hakan Yavuz, organized a
conference in Tbilisi on the political history of the late Ottoman Empire,
where I presented parts of this book, particularly on Ottomanism. I was
fortunate to meet and discuss my work with some of the leading historians
on the late Ottoman Empire, and these interdisciplinary conversations
strengthened the historical narrative of this book.
In July 2013, I presented my research at the workshop “Borders in Motion:
New Dynamics of Inclusion and Exclusion across Europe and North
America,” hosted by the Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute at the Center for
German and European Studies at the University of Minnesota. As I received
great feedback in this workshop from organizing faculty Matthias Rothe
and Anika Keinz, my scholarly conversations with other participants, such
as Daniel Karell, Osman Balkan, and Raphi Rechitsky, improved my work
to a great extent.
In 2014, I was invited to a workshop on Turkey and the Kurds at the
University of Washington in Seattle, hosted by Nicole Watts and Resat
Kasaba, where I discussed parts of my book. In 2015, I attended and
presented parts of my book in a workshop entitled “Rethinking Nations and
Nationalism,” organized by Project on the Middle East Political Science
(POMEPS) at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and
hosted by Marc Lynch and Laurie A. Brand. As all the participants provided great feedback, particular discussions with Nicole Watts and Senem
Aslan informed my research.
While these entire academic endeavors one way or another contributed to
finalizing my monograph, I should mention and thank the two anonymous
reviewers for Routledge who provided detailed feedback and valuable
comments on the arguments of this book. The book includes some parts
from three previous publications: “An Anatomy of Nationhood and the
Question of Assimilation: Debates on Turkishness Revisited,” Studies in
Ethnicity and Nationalism 15(1): 83–101, (2015); “Hyphenated Turkishness:
The Plurality of Lived Nationhood in Turkey,” Nationalities Papers 44(1):
144–164, (2016); and “Young Turks, Old State: The Ontological (In)security
of the State and the Continuity of Ottomanism,” in War and Collapse: World
War I and the Ottoman State, eds. M. Hakan Yavuz and Feroz Ahmad (Salt
Lake City: University of Utah Press, 2016), pp. 135–160. I thank Wiley,
Taylor & Francis, and University of Utah Press for permission to reuse
pieces from those publications.
I would also like to thank all the members of the Department of Political
Science and International Relations at Izmir University of Economics, who
kindly welcomed me and provided all the research possibilities in completing
this book.
Finally, my family members in the United States also supported me in
every way throughout my almost ten-year journey in the States. My uncle,
xii Acknowledgments
Ilhan Kucukaydin, has always been a mentor for me and encouraged my
work intellectually and emotionally, and my aunt, Senel Poyrazli, supported
me in my academic development. Of course, without the support of my
parents, Kocali and Sefika, and my siblings, Yekta and Yelda, this project
would definitely be incomplete.
Last but not least, my wife, Marla, was the one who witnessed closely my
graduate school years in Salt Lake City and then agreed to move with me
to Turkey. Her courage and strength inspire me in all aspects of my life. We
now have a two-year old son, Ander Aras, who is definitely the joy of our
life. I dedicate this book to them.

Introduction
Research puzzle and the argument
Under what conditions and why do the state elites change their policies toward nationhood? With the Official Languages Act of 1969, Canada shifted
to two official languages after the concerns over the French-speaking Québécois and uses an ethnic classification in its population census to reflect the
cultural diversity of the nation.1 The United States has no official language,
but started to exercise affirmative action in the 1960s in order to overcome
the historical discrimination toward those groups who were excluded from
American national identity. The United States also embraces an ethnically/
racially classified population census system.2 France has only one official
language and there is no classification of ethnicity in the census and there is
no affirmative action based on ethnicity or race.3 France also bans religious
symbols, such as veils, in public schools.4 Sri Lanka, with Sinhala-speaking
majority (74%) and Tamil-speaking minority, shifted to two official languages
in the 1980s.5 The Australian state officially began to define the nation as
multicultural in the 1970s.6 After centuries of a hierarchical and confessionalbased autonomy system, the Ottoman Empire first introduced the overarching Ottoman nationhood beyond ethnic and religious affiliations in the

Introduction
nineteenth century.7 In the 2000s, after decades of ethnic-based imagined
“German-ness,” the German state has begun to grant citizenship to the
children of Turkish worker migrants, the largest non-German community
in Germany.8 Turkey, historically an assimilationist state, has also begun
promoting minority languages, particularly Kurdish, through state-funded
television channels in the early 2000s.9
These policies represent a diversity of nation-building and nationhood
policies that states adopt, internalize, and reconsider over time in which the
boundaries of inclusion and exclusion are set. While some of these policies
were embraced in the beginning of the social engineering projects of state- and
nation-building, many others were adopted gradually in the historical evolutions of nations. In other words, despite being persistent, nation-building and
nationhood policies are rarely conclusive but rather they are subject to change
over time. Thus, while some states largely remained loyal to their historical
nation-building projects and the boundaries of nationhood, many others
moved away from them and changed their path-dependent policies, especially
with regard to the historical position of minority groups. Why do some states
change their nationhood policies that reconsider and reorganize their ethnic
and religious social world, while others show resistance to such changes? In
general, the puzzle is about the policy change in the institutional design of the
state and its nation-building raison d’être over time.
This book seeks to offer a theoretical framework in order to explain the
policy changes from a comparative-historical perspective, with specific attention to the cases of the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. Under
what conditions and why do states change their policies toward nationhood
and minorities? What is the underlying motivation of state elites in such policy
changes? These questions not only aim to explain why and with what motivation the policy change occurs—they also consider the issue of the approximate timing of the change.
States attempt to make societies “legible” and simplified through social
engineering tools, such as an official language, in order to consolidate their
routine functions, such as taxation and the prevention of rebellion.10 The
idea of a modern nation congruent with its state has been part of the simplification processes in which a homogenous cultural community has been
the ultimate goal. Yet the idea of a homogenous nation with a monolithic
national identity has remained an ideal type in most cases within which
assimilation has been the social engineering tool of the state. While some

Introduction 3
states have been successful in building relatively homogenous nations with
a motivation for an unrivaled ethnicity and nationhood, others have encountered alternative identity claims both from within where the peripheral
ethnic groups have become politicized and from outside as new immigrants
have challenged the institutionalized national identities. Moreover, some
other states have practiced the options of accommodation or exclusion
rather than assimilation. In cases where assimilation policies have failed,
the nation-state as an ideal project has found itself in an identity crisis. At
that point, the option of cultural pluralism in the public sphere for political
contestation has come to the front. The politics of cultural pluralism,11 multiculturalism,12 and the politics of difference13 have become the new policy
options for the states, especially in liberal democratic ones. These debates
question the state as a culturally neutral entity in general and the assimilative state policies toward minorities in particular. If states take these arguments into consideration and political reform occurs, the puzzle, then, is to
explain under what conditions the path-dependent policies of the founding
nation-building motivations and the boundaries of nationhood encounter
critical junctures. Thus, the question here is not just about why the change
occurs, but it is also about when the change occurs since path dependency
and critical junctures are important in comparative-historical research.
I choose three cases of paradigmatic shifts in state policies toward nationhood from the late Ottoman imperial context until contemporary Turkey.
These cases can shed light on the contemporary identity issues that many
post-Ottoman states encounter in the Middle East in general and Turkey in
particular:
1
2
In terms of the in-depth analysis, the first case of the book deals with
the shift from the Ottoman millet system to the official state policy of
Ottomanism in the mid-nineteenth century, which promoted patriotic
Ottoman nationhood across Muslim and non-Muslim ethnic and religious lines. This initiative resulted with the Ottoman Nationality Law of
1869. What kind of factors led the Ottoman political elites in embracing
such a paradigmatic change after the centuries-long path dependency
in the traditional millet system? What was their logic and motivation in
such change?
The second case analyzes the paradigmatic change from supranational
Ottoman identity to assimilation-based national Turkish identity in
the 1920s, within which the origins of contemporary Turkey’s Kurdish

Introduction
minority challenge were seeded. Despite the fall of the Ottoman Empire
after the World War I, sticking to the Ottoman identity of the state was
still an option but the political elites chose not to. Why? What led them
to embrace a new national identity?
The third case is the Turkish state’s initiative, beginning in early 2000s,
to promote minority languages through official television channels
and elective courses in public schools, particularly with regard to the
Kurdish citizens, which is a paradigmatic shift in a historically assimilative state. How did the decades-long path dependency of strict assimilation come to a critical juncture? Why did not the state elites reconsider
and change their minority policy before the 2000s?
The issue of approximate timing is essential here. Why did the Turkish state
start broadcasting in minority languages during the 2000s rather than in the
1980s or 1990s? Or why did the state elites adopt Turkishness not in the late
nineteenth century but in the 1920s, before the establishment of the Republic?
Or why did the Ottoman state adopt Ottomanism in the 1840s and 1850s but
not in the late eighteenth century? Overall, I explore these questions through
comparative-historical analysis and within a specific analytical framework
that provides four ideal-type institutional designs of nationhood (in relation
to minorities) that I will elaborate on more in Chapter 2.
By analyzing these three paradigmatic changes in the state-minority relations and the question of nationhood, I argue that there is a common pattern of mechanisms that lead to nationhood and minority policy change
which include three particular conditions:
1
2
3
A favorable international context for change;
The influence of domestic non-state actors in increasing the leverage for
change;
The anti-status quo elites controlling the state by eliminating the
pro-status quo veto players.
I frame these conditions as external necessities and internal opportunities.
As the first two conditions make change a necessity for the state, the third
condition creates the opportunity for change. In the absence of the first two
conditions, the third condition becomes a null element because the anti-status
quo elites build their discourses in relation to the international political and
normative context (e.g., assimilationism vs. multiculturalism) on the one hand
and the influence of non-state actors on the other.
In terms of the main motivation for change, I argue that state elites
adopt either exclusionary or inclusionary policies toward minorities based
on the idea of “survival of the state.” Based on the nexus of international
normative context and domestic political realities, state elites believe
that ontological security of the state would be at risk if they don’t take
any measures toward their nationhood and minorities. If international
Introduction 5
context is more favorable to exclusion, they tend to exclude minority identities from the boundaries of nationhood. However, if the international
normative context is more favorable to inclusion (e.g., Wilsonian norms,
UN norms, EU norms), they tend to orchestrate minority reforms toward
inclusion. In any case, the concern of the state elites is primarily the “survival of the state.” They act more pragmatically and strategically rather
than being blindfolded nationalists or wholehearted democrats. Then, the
conventional dichotomy of security versus liberty should not necessarily
be seen mutually exclusive in this context since liberty can also be an instrument of security.
The central arguments of the book rely on a tedious historical analysis
of persistence and change in nationhood and minority policies from the
early nineteenth century to the early 2000s in the Ottoman/Turkish political context. Sources used include archival documents, official publications in the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey, speeches of political
elites, journals and newspapers, parliamentary proceedings, and secondary sources.
I choose these cases, differing in time and direction of change, for three
specific reasons. First, the reason for choosing the Ottoman Empire is that
minority policies are not limited to the modern nation-states. Both in an
imperial state and in a nation-state, patterns of change in nationhood policies take place and the causes behind them entail in-depth analysis. The
confessional-based Ottoman millet system that gave autonomy to the Greek
Orthodox, Armenians, and Jews is considered to be non-assimilative and a
unique system of managing diversity in a non-Western context.14 On the other
hand, although Turkey’s nation-building project began based on firm assimilation, the state-framed nationhood has been gradually deconstructed.
An explanation over the similar raison d’être of states’ changing policies
toward nationhood and minorities regardless of imperial or nation-state
setting is likely to take the research agenda beyond nation-states and their
discontents.
Second, the comparison between the late Ottoman Empire and contemporary Turkey is likely to shed light on the two different social worlds of the
governing diversity and nationhood. Third, the differences in the historical
periods when policy changes take place strengthen the research design in
terms of comparative-historical analysis. Although contextual analysis is
an emphasis in this research, explaining policy changes similar in nature
beyond certain historical contexts and time periods provide insights for understanding the general conditions that make states change their policies
toward nationhood.

Introduction
However, the theoretical argument of the book with regard to continuity and change in state-minority relations goes beyond these cases as
the book offers comparative insights that would relate to other cases and
geographical areas, such as North America, Western Europe, and Latin
America.
Organization of the book
In Chapter 1, the theoretical framework and the existing literature are
discussed, along with their limitations. In Chapter 2, I elaborate on my
typological framework of nationhood within which I analyze the patterns
of change. In Chapter 3, a brief historical background of the late Ottoman
and early Turkish Republic political context is discussed. In Chapter 4,
I introduce the formation and anatomy of modern Turkish nationhood.
While Chapter 5 deals with the transition from the Ottoman millet system to
Ottomanism, Chapter 6 discusses the pattern of change from Ottomanism
to Turkishness. Chapter 7 shows path dependency of Turkishness throughout the twentieth century and how it shifted to hyphenated framework of
nationhood after the 2000s. Chapter 8, which is the conclusion chapter, provides the main arguments of the book in relation to the historical patterns of
change within the late Ottoman and modern Turkish political trajectory. All
translations of the Turkish texts throughout the book belong to me unless
otherwise stated.
