What are the characteristics of the term "millet" that allow the word to be used so ubiquitously?... more What are the characteristics of the term "millet" that allow the word to be used so ubiquitously?
By means of close reading and based on the historical context, the work demonstrates the use of the term "millet" in the parliamentary sessions of the TBBM from 1920 to 1923, as well as its changing semantic range.
The book analyses some parliamentary discussions that have fallen into oblivion today, e.g. on the appointment of the last caliph Abdülmecit by the members of the national parliament.

In a world where state socialism is on the wane, Islamic states in particular seem to be run by an exploitative class that in their hyper-capital-ist way of profit-making does not care at all about so-cial justice. Modern history, however, has seen a great number of movements, political parties and individu-als propagating the incompatibility of capitalism with Islam. And at a second glance, the quest for social jus-tice and the rejection of capitalism actually appear as a driving force in different Islamic discourses, includ-ing that of the so-called Islamic State.
The articles of this volume offer intriguing and origi-nal thoughts about the appropriate economic system for a Muslim society. Some of the concepts are based right away on socialism, while others call for a genu-ine, non-Western Islamic ‘third way’ between com-munism and capitalism. In fact, political reality has forced the secular Left to grapple with the response of Islamic movements to poverty and injustice. The vol-ume therefore also includes useful insights into the Left’s reaction to this political challenge.
The articles cover a wide range of world regions, not only the Middle East and Turkey, but also the Far East and North Africa, with a time span ranging from the late 19th century to the present. In addition, the reader is also introduced to economic concepts of early Islam and their textual sources.
