Patriarchal Theory Reconsidered

This study analyses male-female violence in comparison to state-citizen violence. The author argues that norms and values in Turkey are a reflection of processes that accommodate oppression, the intersection of which develops the argument that 'women are to men, what the citizen is for the state, in the context of Turkey.' Gender theory, and patriarchal theory in particular, are explored in this book to describe the logic and design of gender-based violence and its relationship with political sociology.

Makes an interdisciplinary connection between political sociology and gender theory Demonstrates the shared trends, patterns, and logic of different types of oppressive behavior Highlights the role of gender oppression in Middle Eastern diplomatic security concerns
