Why can't the US and China be a natural capitalist ally? A geopolitical reading of inter-capitalist rivalry
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2025) Bin Mohd Rasid, Imran; Aslan, Ali
The rivalry between the United States (U.S.) and China has entered an uncharted phase, marked by heightened confrontation over trade, technology, the South China Sea, Taiwan, and various other issues. This paper introduces a Geopolitical reading of the conflict within the fold of an Inter-Capitalist Rivalry. In contrast to mainstream IR theories, the paper is grounded in two key premises: (a) inter-state competition and global capitalist development are dialectically co-constitutive, each crucially informing the other; and (b) both China and the U.S. are leading capitalist states, whose capitalist identity and respective trajectories of domestic capitalist development play a significant role in shaping their international behavior. Driven primarily by the theoretical framework of Uneven & Combined Development (UCD), this paper advances two key arguments. First, rather than a contest between political hegemons, the U.S.-China rivalry is best understood as an inter-capitalist rivalry shaped by (i) qualitative differences in their respective models of capitalist development and (ii) their positioning within evolving global capitalist dynamics and hierarchies, particularly in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Second, contrary to the Globalist account, the emergence of a Transnational Capitalist Class has not prevented inter-capitalist rivalry from taking the form of "Geopolitical" tensions (involving nation-states and regional institutions), as evidenced in the U.S.-China conflict. Building on these findings, this research seeks to refute the Globalist perspective on inter-state relations within global capitalism, reinstating the importance of geopolitical dynamics in understanding global capitalist transformations and inter-capitalist competition.
The role of religion in the cohesion of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan (1994-2021)

This study explores the religious factors that contributed to the cohesion of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. It is one of the rare cases in modern times where a social movement successfully seized power twice within 25 years under entirely different circumstances. The first time was in the context of a civil war and the second came after a two-decade war against a large international coalition led by the United States. I used a qualitative method, conducting semi-structured interviews with 13 participants, including a Taliban leader, Islamists, foreign fighters, academicians, journalists, and former political prisoners. The findings showed how Islam, specifically in its traditional form contributed heavily to the cohesion of the Taliban movement more than any other social, ethnic, or political factors. The study also challenged the common view in the literature that overemphasizes the link between the Taliban and the Deobandi movement, ideologically or politically. It also highlighted that the consistency in implementing Sharia law, rather than flexibility (as some literature suggests), was one of the primary reasons for the Taliban's high recruitment capacity. The leader-centric organizational structure, rooted in the classical Islamic Emirate, and the key role of religious scholars were vital in maintaining unity, even as the movement shifted to a decentralized model. This structure also distinguished the Taliban from other movements with similar religious structures. Additionally, the study highlighted the complex interaction between foreign mujahid organizations and the Taliban, including areas of support, along with tensions and clashes. These religious factors were analyzed through Ibn Khaldun's asabiyyah theory, demonstrating its relevance for understanding similar movements.

Beyond physicalism? Quine's open-ended naturalism and the possibility of the “supernatural”
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2025) Tümkaya, Serdal; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Felsefe Bölümü
This paper argues that W. V. Quine, often seen as sci-entific naturalism's foremost champion, advances anexpansive ontology that leaves room for so- called su-pernatural phenomena-telepathy or clairvoyance-ifthey satisfy appropriate empirical tests. Contrary tothe image of a rigid physicalist, Quine's methodologicalcontinuity and fallibilism permit provisional inclusionof any entity, “physical” or not, when theoretically andempirically fruitful. His resolve to start “in the mid-dle” and treat philosophy as continuous with sciencecontrasts with stricter naturalisms that categoricallydismiss paranormal claims. Simultaneously, Quine re-jects a priori philosophical pronouncements, denyingautonomous or irreducible normativity beyond em-pirical science. Distinguishing Quine's “soft” natural-ism from reductive physicalism and liberal naturalistviews, the paper shows his position as inclusive regard-ing empirically testable phenomena yet methodologi-cally monistic in privileging science as ultimate arbiterof ontological disputes. Quine's openness to unconven-tional hypotheses underscores that naturalism neednot be metaphysically dogmatic but must remain an-chored in empirical inquiry.
Ahmadu Bamba’s Qur’ānic commentaries: Characteristics and methodologies
(Üsküdar Üniversitesi, 2025) Mbacke, Khadim Cheikhouna
This article examines the Qur’anic exegesis of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba Mbacke (d. 1927), founder of the Murīdiyya Sufi order, with a focus on his interpretive methodologies and the distinctive features that define his engagement with the Qur’ān. While Bamba is widely recognized for his spiritual authority, moral reformism, and socio-political legacy within colonial Senegal, his intellectual contributions to tafsīr have received comparatively limited scholarly attention. By situating his work within the broader context of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century West African Islamic scholarship, the study explores how Bamba combined exoteric (ẓāhirī) and esoteric (ishārī) approaches to produce a synthesis of juridical precision, linguistic mastery, and mystical insight. Through an analysis of his writings, the article highlights his creative use of inherited exegetical traditions and his emphasis on spiritual transformation as a goal of Qur’ānic understanding. It further examines the continuing influence of his tafsīr on Murīd thought and Senegalese Islam, underscoring Bamba’s enduring contribution to the renewal of Qur’ānic interpretation in the Islamic West.
