The Continuity and Ruptures of Mobilization Waves in Turkey in the Axes of Tekel-HES-Gezi Parkı Protests

Abstract

For a very long time social movements in Turkey mobilized and understood through established organizations such as political parties and trade unions. However, it is essential to consider social movements as independent political actors by themselves. Gezi protests that took place in 2013 in Turkey are generally considered as a turning point in this sense. However, Turkey witnessed grassroots mobilizations also before Gezi park protests. Especially TEKEL and HES resistances have a distinct place in the domain of social movement history of Turkey. By drawing on these two movements, the article aims to explain the transformation of the social movements field in Turkey, based on the literature on theories of social movements. First part of the article focuses on the theoretical aspect, and tries to explain the transformation in the field of social movement theories since the 1970s, but especially after the emergence of “anti/alter-globalization” movement. The second part of the article aims to discuss the ruptures and continuities of social movement mobilization in Turkey since the 1970s, by focusing on the wave of mobilization of the 1970s, anti/alter-globalization movements of the 2000s and recent Gezi Park protests. In doing so, the second part employs protest event analysis to reveal the similarities and difference between these waves of mobilization with regards to the actors, repertoires of action and issues that were at work.
