ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Subaltern geopolitics calls to attention the often-overlooked geopolitical perspectives on the margins. Despite the productive insights, questions on how and why these geopolitical perspectives were overlooked in the first place remains unanswered. This dissertation addresses the above lacuna through a critical reconceptualisation of the ‘subaltern’ in subaltern geopolitics. More specifically, I posit that the subaltern can be mobilised as an analytical tool to bring to fore the power asymmetries in geopolitical knowledge production. Drawing on a study of Turkish geopolitical interest over northern Cyprus, and its influence on Turkish-Cypriot identity, my objectives are two-fold. First, I further the notion of ‘subaltern geopolitics’ with the question of place by shedding light on where subaltern geopolitics might be found. Second, and simultaneously, I seek to problematise the hegemonic theoretical resources of critical geopolitics by drawing on the subaltern analytically to bring to fore geopolitical specificities of northern Cyprus that otherwise remain obscured. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/167686 |
