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.
