Yayın Impact of modernization on Pashtun culture and the role of Sen's capability approach(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, Medeniyetler İttifakı Enstitüsü, 2022) Tahirkheli, Najam Shafat; Ringmar, Erik Ivar; Ringmar, ErikThere have been suggestions from the literature that contemporary forces are straining the cultural harmony of Pashtuns in Pakistan, in addition to there being a need for a more holistic approach to development in the region. Therefore, this thesis attempts to answer two valuable questions: first, how is modernization impacting Pashtun culture, and second, is Amartya Sen's freedom-centered Capability Approach able to identify and resolve the challenges of modernization within the Pashtun context? Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen's Capability Approach—which sees human freedom as the centerpiece of development rather than the mere increase in material wealth--is a breakthrough in development studies. Due to the flexible applicability of Sen's approach, this thesis attempts to innovate from his ideas by evaluating the cultural "capabilities" of Pashtuns. Likewise, this work also critiques Sen's approach and philosophical assumptions; it concludes that his own normative worldview misses the deeper challenges of modernization. Field research was personally conducted in Pakistan for the purpose of this study--revealing primary knowledge of Pashtun culture and local perceptions. The results of this study suggest that certain cultural features of Pashtuns—their social village complex (Hujra) and traditional legal execution institution (Jirga) are facing challenges in modernity while their dynamic moral worldview system (Pakhtunwali) is at risk of losing its original significance. There are three reasons for this: urbanization, bureaucratization, and technology. This thesis utilized a mixed-method approach which consisted of both qualitative discourse, and opinion-based quantitative survey data. Yet the survey size was not large enough to make a conclusive claim—rather wishing that further studies may be inspired by this work. It is hoped that this research will benefit area and development studies in Pakistan, as well as inspire a much-needed application of Sen's Capability Approach within the context of preserving traditional cultures.Yayın Anarchism and religion(Routledge, 2021) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüA related problem is the close connection between religion and warfare. As anarchists point out, religions have always helped justify violence against foreigners. Religious denominations that have enjoyed the protection of the state have happily given their blessings to the state's wars. Anarchists object to the very language of religion – all those disciplinarian, authoritarian tropes. Civil liberties and regular elections are not enough to constitute a proper democracy, an anarchist will insist, but it is still an improvement over political systems that are considerably much worse. It is consequently possible, at least in theory, to imagine a state which, if only radically reconstructed, would be legitimate also in the eyes of anarchists. Many religious anarchists are also struggling with ways to reinterpret passages in their sacred texts that fail to fit with their political creed. Religious anarchists reject the power of the state while accepting the power of God.Yayın Alternatives to the state: Or, why a non-western IR must be a revolutionary science(Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research, İhsan Doğramacı Peace Foundation, 2020) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüThe idea of the sovereign state is at the core of the Western understanding of international politics. If we are serious about coming up with non-Western theories of international politics, it is the state that must be questioned. This article suggests some ways in which this can be done. Only once we have unthought the state can we reconstruct international politics as a more equitable, and peaceful, world order.Yayın The anti-nomadic bias of political theory(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüOver the last couple of decades, the conditions of life for nomadic peoples have been radically rethought (Devore & Lee, 1999). Contrary to what we once were told, the lives of hunters, gatherers and pastoralists are generally not “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short” (Hobbes, 1651, i:13, p. 84). Rather, barring environmental calamities, their lives are sociable, rich, pleasant, sophisticated and long. Gatherers are not desperately digging for roots and hunters are not chasing wild geese. Instead hunters and gatherers have traditionally lived in abundant environments where looking for food is similar to looking for something to eat in a refrigerator (Turnbull, 1984, pp. 96–108). Their days can be spent on leisurely activities, and when food is required, they simply go and get it...Yayın Moving bodies: Embodied minds and the world that we made(Cambridge University Press, 2023) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüIncreasingly, we have come to live in our heads, leaving our bodies behind. The consequences have been as far-reaching as they have been devastating. This book employs several case studies – kings performing in ballets, sea captains dancing with natives, nationalists engaged in gymnastics exer cises – to explain what has been lost. These curious movements, we will discover, were ways to be, to think, to know, to imagine, and to will. They highlight the limits of historical explanations focusing on cultural factors and question currently fashionable “cultural” and “post-modern” perspec tives. Returning to our bodies and their movements enables us not only to explain historical actions in a new way, but also to understand ourselves better.Yayın The right to practice your religion: European legislation and the origin of religious beliefs(Brill, 2024) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüEuropean human rights legislation makes a distinction between “beliefs” and “manifestations” of beliefs. Beliefs are regarded as inviolable whereas manifestations, such as various religious practices, can be restricted by law. This article criticizes this distinction and argues that practices are necessary for religious beliefs. We participate in a religious practice, not since we believe, but we believe since we participate in a religious practice. European human rights legislation must be rewritten with this consideration in mind.
