Call for Submissions for a Special Issue on *Turkish Communities and  
Muslim Citizens of Europe*

Insight Turkey

Insight Turkey invites manuscripts for its Winter 2010 issue that will  
explore European policies and debates on Turkish Communities and  
Muslim Citizens of Europe with theoretical reflections and analyses  
of their social, cultural, political and religious positions. We seek  
original manuscripts from scholars across the social sciences and  
humanities, both discipline specific and interdisciplinary, as well as  
contributions from policy circles. In this special issue, which will  
be edited by the guest editor Professor Talip Kucukcan of SETA  
Foundation & Marmara University, our goal is to showcase high-quality  
single case or comparative studies and stimulate a lively debate on  
the subject.

The topics suitable for inclusion in the special issue include but are not
limited to:

- Identity construction among the Turkish and Muslim communities in Europe,

- Civil society organizations, transnational networks and Turkish-EU  
relations,

- Representation and political participation on local, national and EU levels,

- Post 9/11 state policies towards migration, integration and discrimination,

- Religious groups, institutions, movements and Islam in the European  
public sphere,

- Position of Turks/Muslims in education, housing and employment,

- Impact of the rise of nationalism, racism and xenophpbia on the  
Turks/Muslims,

- Cultural and religious practices among host societies, Turkophobia/  
Islamophobia,

- Media discourse on Turks, Turkish-EU relations, media consumption  
among Turks.

Covered by major indexing and abstracting systems and databases,  
Insight Turkey is a refereed academic journal with a policy-oriented  
perspective. All submissions are subject to Insight Turkey's editorial  
policy and must follow
the journal's style guidelines, which can be obtained from the  
journal's homepage. Since the journal's readership comprises  
specialists and
non-specialists, authors should avoid jargon where possible and use a clear
and straightforward language that is appealing to both groups.

Insight Turkey welcomes both full articles (5,000-6,000-word essays that
present the findings of research or analysis on a relevant contemporary and
historical problem or phenomenon) and commentaries (2,500-3,500 word pieces
that make a short, provocative argument on an actual topic of interest with
policy relevance).

The deadline for submission of completed papers is December 1, 2009.
Interested authors are encouraged to send a 300-word abstract to the journal
editors no later than October 15, 2009.
