Document Summary
Nation-states (or states) are set of institutions that monopolize and combine. What are nation-states? administrative, judicial, rule-making, and coercive powers over a unified territory and community of people. Both a system and an idea and a claim. Not the same as empires or city-states. The systems that dictate how state power is to be used, shared, and the means. What are regimes? through which interests of citizens are aggregated, mobilized, and controlled. Ideologies, divisions of power, concentration of power, etc. Foreign governments and multinational firms create states (ex: oil company aided creation of saudi state) Served as inspiration for other political leaders in the region. Republicanism (republican people"s party/rpp/chp): has six principles. Republicanism: bases legitimacy of the state on popular sovereignty. Not religious; thus very radical at the time. Convert the notion of the turk into a glorified past. Fundamentally non-religious; strong divide between mosque and state. Abolished caliph state and laws based on sharia.
