In the Shadow of War and Empire
In the Shadow of War and Empire offers a site-specific history of Ottoman and Turkish industrialisation through the lens of a mid-nineteenth-century cotton factory in the “Turkish Manchester,” the name chosen by the Ottomans for the industrial complex they built in the 1840s in Istanbul, which, in the contemporary words of one of the country’s most prominent contemporary Marxist theorists, became “the secret to and the basis of Turkish capitalism" in the 1930s.

Science between Europe and Asia
This book explores the various historical and cultural aspects of scientific, medical and technical exchanges that occurred between central Europe and Asia. A number of papers investigate the printing, gunpowder, guncasting, shipbuilding, metallurgical and drilling technologies while others deal with mapping techniques, the adoption of written calculation and mechanical clocks as well as the use of medical techniques such as pulse taking and electrotherapy. While human mobility played a significant role in the exchange of knowledge, translating European books into local languages helped the introduction of new knowledge in mathematical, physical and natural sciences from central Europe to it...
Technology and Globalisation
This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as globalising agents, providing many of the materials and institutional means for world economic and technical integration. Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches and topics across different regions, transcending nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer, tropical science, energy production, large technological projects, technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.
Osmanlı ve Modernleşme
"Çeşme yenilgisinin (1770) sonucu olarak Osmanlı denizciliğinin modernleşmesinde Osmanlıların çağdaşı devletlerin teknolojisini adapte etmedeki başarısının, devrin önemli denizci devletlerinin en iyi oldukları alanlar üzerinden yapılması, tercihlerin tesadüfî olmadığını göstermektedir.

Age of Coexistence
"Flawless . . . [Makdisi] reminds us of the critical declarations of secularism which existed in the history of the Middle East."—Robert Fisk, The Independent Today's headlines paint the Middle East as a collection of war-torn countries and extremist groups consumed by sectarian rage. Ussama Makdisi's Age of Coexistence reveals a hidden and hopeful story that counters this clichéd portrayal. It shows how a region rich with ethnic and religious diversity created a modern culture of coexistence amid Ottoman reformation, European colonialism, and the emergence of nationalism. Moving from the nineteenth century to the present, this groundbreaking book explores, without denial or equivocation,...

How Informal Institutions Matter
In How Informal Institutions Matter, Zeki Sarigil examines the role of informal institutions in sociopolitical life and addresses the following questions: Why and how do informal institutions emerge? To ask this differently, why do agents still create or resort to informal institutions despite the presence of formal institutional rules and regulations? How do informal institutions matter? What roles do they play in sociopolitical life? How can we classify informal institutions? What novel types of informal institutions can we identify and explain? How do informal institutions interact with formal institutions? How do they shape formal institutional rules, mechanisms, and outcomes? Finally, how do existing informal institutions change? What factors might trigger informal institutional change? In order to answer these questions, Sarigil examines several empirical cases of informal institution as derived from various issue areas in the Turkish sociopolitical context (i.e., civil law, conflict resolution, minority rights, and local governance) and from multiple levels (i.e., national and local).

Nación y nacionalización
L'estudi dels processos de nacionalització, és a dir, de la difusió social de les identitats nacionals, és un dels aspectes centrals per al camp de recerca dedicat al nacionalisme. No obstant això, es tracta d'un àmbit que explica encara amb una relativa escassetat de treballs, especialment quan s'aborda des d'una perspectiva comparada. El present volum es dedica a l'estudi dels processos de nacionalització en els marcs dels Estats-nació europeus. El cas espanyol és objecte d'especial atenció, encara que des d'una perspectiva comparada amb els països del seu entorn, la qual cosa permet plantejar dubtes sobre la suposada excepcionalitat del procés de nacionalització espanyol. El volum es compon de tretze estudis escrits per historiadors procedents de nou universitats europees i espanyoles
