The State from its Margins: A perspective from street level Turkey
Abstract
Muhtars, the lowest-level elected political position in Turkey, hold an ambiguously defined place within the administrative hierarchy. Research Professor at CERI Elise Massicard is the author of Street-Level Governing (Stanford University Press ), the first book to investigate how muhtars carry out their role—not only what they are supposed to do, but how they actually operate—providing an ethnographic study of the state as viewed from its margins. She answers our questions on the muhtar as a hybrid object and her research.
