Conscientious Objection in Turkey

Provides a socio-legal analysis of cultural norms and the right to conscientious objection in Turkey

---

This book provides a socio-legal analysis of the right to conscientious objection in Turkey. It empirically investigates the experiences of antimilitarists with law, with a particular focus on the socio-cultural elements behind the non-recognition of the right to conscientious objection. Drawing on interviews with eighteen objectors and an expert in Turkey, the book argues that any attempt to create a social change also necessitates understanding and challenging current legal frameworks.
