    Past and Present of Nation-Building: Ideological Instrumentalization of Ministry of Youth and Sports of Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Erturan-Ogut, Esin Esra
    When Erdogan declared in 2012, 'We will raise a pious generation', Turkey already had a national identity rooted in secularism and Turkism since the early Republic. His statement signalled an attempt to reshape identity along the AKP's anti-Kemalist lines. This study examines shifting nation-building agendas in state-run youth and sports institutions, comparing the early Republican era with the AKP period. Early programmes emphasized Turkism, secularism, and paramilitarism, reflecting the ideological imperatives of the time. Under the AKP, however, programmes increasingly promoted Islamism and neo-Ottomanism, opposing earlier values. The study argues that AKP-era youth policies deliberately sought to replace Kemalist principles, with the Ministry of Youth and Sports serving as a channel for ideological nation-building absent in formal education.

    Tracing Ideologies, Influences, and Politics: the Shaping of a State Monopoly in Turkey's Sports System (1920s-1990s)
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Erturan-Ogut, E. Esra; Sinoforoglu, Tolga
    Despite Turkey's changing political regimes, sports have remained under state governance since 1938. This article analyzes the ideologies, influences, and politics that have shaped this state monopoly over the sports system across three phases from the 1920s to the 1990s: establishment, stabilization, and instrumentalization. The establishment phase aimed to align sports with nation-building ideals, incorporating nationalist ideology and paramilitarism. The stabilization phase embraced a statist approach influenced by socio-economic conditions and Soviet influence. The instrumentalization phase, beginning with the & Ouml;zal years, utilized sports for political discourse and socio-economic purposes, retaining the state-run system even during the era of neoliberalization.
