Özet:
This thesis examines the alternative globalizationist left in Turkey as it has taken shape since the last decade. It presents the characteristics of the movement through analysis of its political orientations, referring to its social constituency and national cultural backdrop. It reveals how the Turkish section of the movement tailored a particular form of alternative globalizationist leftism that functions as a means of escaping the experience of the periphery and inclusion in the imaginary of the core. In this sense political opposition to neoliberal globalization becomes an alternate form of cultural globalization.
