This project examines family and youth politics in Turkey with particular attention to the reforms initiated in the last decade by the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP). It interrogates the broader political vision to which this politics relates, and its resonances in Turkish society.Since the early days of the republic, family and youth politics have been a central arena of the Turkish modernization project, which initially entailed a strong secularist bias. Family and youth politics are a central focus as well of the AKP’s Islamization policy, which strives to create a ‘New Turkey’, based on a post-Kemalist ‘pious generation’. Against the backdrop of current political transformations in Turkey, and with a focus on the domains of youth and family, the project will (1) address the religio-political vision of the AKP and its translation in concrete policies, and (2) elicit their resonances in different milieus.The study will be guided by the following key questions: How are the AKP’s family and youth politics represented and negotiated in the Turkish public sphere and what role does religion play in this negotiation? How are AKP family and youth policies implemented from the national through local levels? What are the defining features of the political subject demanded by these politics? What, on the other hand, are the central questions and problem areas of Turkish family and youth politics from the perspectives of expert NGOs, and Turkish citizens from different backgrounds? What influences do AKP policies exert on the everyday life worlds of Turkish citizens? Through all these levels of analysis, the project interrogates the interplay of religious and secular semantics in negotiating the respective domains of family and youth politics.To investigate this battery of questions, the two subprojects on AKP family and youth politics use different methods within the framework of a superordinate Grounded Theory approach: (1) analysis of AKP discourses on family and youth politics and the reactions they elicit from the public; (2) focus group interviews with expert NGOs on family and youth policies, and related AKP reforms in this area in recent years; and (3) milieu-specific group discussions with residents of select cities/neighborhoods comprising a variety of social fabrics. Particular attention will be paid to how the two policy areas are interpreted in the context of concrete everyday life worlds. The project does thereby not consider religious and secular attitudes as antagonistic counterparts, but rather as ambivalent, situational, and intricately interrelated.

该项目审查土耳其的家庭和青年政治，特别关注温和派伊斯兰正义与发展党(正义与发展党)在过去十年发起的改革。它质疑与这一政治相关的更广泛的政治愿景，以及它在土耳其社会中的共鸣。自共和国成立初期以来，家庭和青年政治一直是土耳其现代化计划的中心领域，这最初带来了强烈的世俗主义偏见。家庭和青年政治也是正义与发展党伊斯兰化政策的中心焦点，正义与发展党的伊斯兰化政策致力于在后凯末尔主义的“虔诚一代”的基础上创建一个“新土耳其”。在土耳其当前政治转型的背景下，以青年和家庭领域为重点，该项目将(1)解决正义与发展党的宗教-政治愿景及其在具体政策中的翻译，(2)在不同的环境中引起它们的共鸣。研究将指导以下关键问题：正义与发展党的家庭和青年政治如何在土耳其公共领域代表和谈判，宗教在谈判中扮演什么角色？正义与发展党的家庭和青年政策是如何从国家到地方各级执行的？这些政治所要求的政治主体的定义特征是什么？另一方面，从专家非政府组织和来自不同背景的土耳其公民的角度来看，土耳其家庭和青年政治的核心问题和问题领域是什么？正义与发展党的政策对土耳其公民的日常生活产生了哪些影响？通过所有这些层面的分析，该项目询问了宗教和世俗语义在谈判家庭和青年政治领域中的相互作用。为了调查这一系列问题，关于正义与发展党家庭和青年政治的两个分项目在高级扎根理论方法的框架内使用了不同的方法：(1)分析正义与发展党关于家庭和青年政治的话语及其引起的公众反应；(2)焦点小组访谈关于家庭和青年政策以及近年来这一领域的正义与发展党相关改革的专家非政府组织；以及(3)与由各种社会结构组成的选定城市/社区的居民进行针对特定环境的小组讨论。将特别注意如何在具体的日常生活世界中解释这两个政策领域。因此，该项目不认为宗教和世俗的态度是对立的，而是矛盾的、情势的和错综复杂的相互关联的。
