This article deals with Turkey’s increasing involvement and activism in the Balkan Peninsula between 2002 and 2022, under the rule of the Justice and Development Party and asks two different questions 1) If the Balkan elites perceive the policies implemented by Turkey differently and relatively pejoratively, what is the reason for this and how can we explain it theoretically? 2) What kind of differences does the current position of Turkey-Balkan relations cause us to observe in classical international relations? To answer these questions, this study seeks to shed much needed light on this aspect of Turkish relations with its Balkan neighbours in the context of the broader shift in Turkish domestic and foreign policy under the AKP from a realist-secular orientation to an ambiguous Sunni Islamic. Therefore, it explains the complex relations between religion, nostalgia and identity, and its reflections on state power.
本文探讨2002年至2022年间，在正义与发展党(Justice and Development Party)的统治下，土耳其在巴尔干半岛日益增加的参与和行动，并提出两个不同的问题:1)如果巴尔干精英对土耳其实施的政策有不同的看法，并且相对贬义，原因是什么?我们如何从理论上解释?2)土耳其与巴尔干关系的现状使我们在经典国际关系中观察到什么样的差异?为了回答这些问题，本研究试图在AKP领导下的土耳其内政和外交政策从现实主义-世俗取向到模棱两可的逊尼派伊斯兰取向的更广泛转变的背景下，阐明土耳其与其巴尔干邻国关系的这一方面。因此，它解释了宗教、怀旧和身份之间的复杂关系，以及它对国家权力的反思。

In this article, we trace a specific ‘situated bodily practice’, namely the ‘act of covering’ the head with a scarf during liturgy, in a church that has migrated from the Middle East to Sweden. This ‘veiled tradition’ is interpreted as a ‘ritual of migration’ that can cast light on the complexities of re-producing traditions in a new setting, functioning as a ‘cultural prism’ for the question of integration. The broader aim is to nuance the symbolic value given to the veil in political discourse in the West, as a sign of (non-)integration. The empirical basis for this study has mainly been film analyses of liturgies in Syriac Orthodox congregations in Sweden. Building on an analysis of this material, four different usages of the headscarf could be traced: as ordinary dress, that in theory should cover the hair, but seldom did; as festal dress, resembling an accessory; as liturgical dress, used both as a token of piety and spiritual authority, and not to dress in a headscarf, resisting gender discrimination. These usages are compared to, but not fully explained by the idea of ‘new veiling’ among Muslim women, and therefore broaden the understanding of veiled traditions in a migration context.

Health and religion are strongly connected. This study aims primarily to compile the diseases described in the Bible and Quran with a secondary aim to group the diseases in punishment or blessing. Diseases mentioned in the Bible and Quran were compiled by manual review and grouped as punishment if imposed by the deity as penance; blessing if cured by grace or neutral. The results show difference among the books in the distribution of the diseases as associated to punishment (more prevalent in the first testament), blessing (more prevalent in the second testament) or neutral (more prevalent in the Quran).

Reports show most religious groups in the United States, especially Christian evangelicals, are showing more affiliation to the Republican political party. Nonetheless, members of the Democratic political party are also weaving faith into their rhetoric. A citizen’s affiliation with a political party can change over time, and political affiliation might influence behavior. This study compares and contrasts individuals affiliated with political parties and those who are not on their: (1) decision-making process purchasing everyday products, (2) relationship with God, (3) and ethical and sustainable behaviors. Using Pew Research data (n=3,278), this study compares and contrasts individuals affiliated with political parties and those who are not on their decision-making process in purchasing everyday products, relationship with God, and ethical and sustainable behaviors. Despite significant differences between political parties, most of them have thanked God for something and almost half of them have asked God for help and guidance. The results show people in the U.S. with various party affiliations are somewhat religious and spiritual. The notion that only Republicans will be guided by religious beliefs is misguided. Almost half of Democrats in this study show strong religious values. The paper makes several contributions to this area of study. First, similarities and differences between individuals affiliated with political parties are determined. Second, myths about stigma toward a particular political party are debunked, and finally, insights for religious and political leaders on their followers’ behavior are provided.
