ABSTRACT In response to the United Nation’s (UN) Decade for Human Rights Education initiative, the Turkish Ministry of National Education changed the title of citizenship education courses from ‘Citizenship Studies’ to ‘Citizenship and Human Rights Education’ in 1995. However, this curriculum reform was overshadowed by the rise to power of a political Islamist party. The secularist military toppled the first Islamist party-led government in the name of preserving the principle of laicism. Announced after the 1997 coup, the main textbook for the citizenship and human rights education course showed a profound influence of the militaristic discourses as evidenced by the negative depiction of the Kurdish people and political Islamists and the hagiographic portrayal of Atatürk and the army. By drawing on interviews with key informants, archival/public policy documentation and textbooks, this paper argues that the curriculum reform began with the participation in the UN initiative ended with the military’s instrumentalisation of the subject because it was launched with no recognition of Turkey’s human rights and democracy problems.

土耳其公民教育课程的军事化

摘要 为响应联合国 (UN) 人权教育十年倡议，土耳其国民教育部于 1995 年将公民教育课程的名称从“公民研究”改为“公民与人权教育”。然而，该课程一个政治伊斯兰政党的掌权给改革蒙上了阴影。世俗主义军队以维护自由主义原则的名义推翻了第一个伊斯兰党领导的政府。1997 年政变后公布的公民和人权教育课程的主要教科书显示了军国主义话语的深刻影响，对库尔德人民和政治伊斯兰主义者的负面描述以及对阿塔图尔克和军队的圣徒写照都证明了这一点。通过对关键知情人的采访，
