21st Century Skills and Education
Great events in history have always brought about great changes in the lifestyles of humans. Every invention, every great war and every discovery has challenged the ways in which people lived up until that point. The 21st century bears the effects of various advancements in several different parts of human life. Sometimes it is called a “space age”, sometimes an “information age”, or a “computer age”. Some people have called it a digital age, or new media age too. However it is named, the time in which we live has challenged the lifestyles of the past and has brought about new requirements in skills and practices. Media literacy, leadership, critical thinking, and problem solving, are among the new skills required by the 21st century. However, the relationship between these skills and education has not yet been fully established. To this end, this book discusses these skills through theoretical and empirical studies in the context of Turkey.

DİJİTALLEŞME BAĞLAMINDA BİREY, TOPLUM VE İLETİŞİM
İnsanlık tarihine teknolojik determinizm ekseninde yaklaşan pek çok iletişim tarihçisi ve düşünür, onu iletişim araçlarının tarihiyle özdeşleştirmektedir. Buna göre tarih boyunca insanoğlu, çeşitli iletişim araçlarını icat ederek faaliyet ve etki alanını sürekli genişletmiştir. McLuhan’ın tabiriyle, “insanlık kullanmak üzere icat ettiği bu aletleri biçimlendirdiği gibi sonrasında bu aletler de insanoğlunu biçimlendirmiş ve biçimlendirmektedir”. Tarihsel olarak önceki teknolojik ilerleme ve atılımlarda olduğu gibi McLuhan’ın tespitinin günümüzün yaygınlaşan dijital iletişim ortam ve teknolojileri açısından da yerli yerinde durduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Nitekim günümüzde etkisini her geçen gün artıran dijitalleşme, akıllı cihazlar ile bunları işlevsel kılan internet altyapısı ve yazılım teknolojileri mucidi olan insanlığı ve onun inşa ettiği her türlü yapı ile kurumu sürekli surette yeniden biçimlendirmektedir.

Secularism and Muslim Democracy in Turkey
The Islamist Justice and Development Party swept to power in Turkey in 2002. Since then it has shied away from a hard-line ideological stance in favour of a more conservative and democratic approach. This book asks whether it is possible for a political party with deeply religious ideology to liberalise and entertain democracy?
Reading Clocks, Alla Turca
Reading Clocks, Alla Turca explores the technological and social aspects of Ottoman temporal culture, where religious and secular powers competed and colluded for authority, the army tried to rationalize its systems of training and communication, and schoolboys complained about how long classes were. The conflicts that played out on the field of temporal systems were not along the axes one might expect, with secular, urban, rationalist, modernizing, and Europeanizing forces arrayed against rural, traditional, religious, and nationalist people and parties. Rather, religious institutions saw the rationalization of temporal culture as a way to extend their authority (the muezzin s call to praye...
The World of the Siege
The World of the Siege examines relations between the conduct and representations of early modern sieges. The volume offers case studies from various regions in Europe (England, France, the Low Countries, Germany, the Balkans) and throughout the world (the Chinese, Ottoman and Mughal Empires), from the 15th century into the 18th. The international contributors analyse how siege narratives were created and disseminated, and how early modern actors as well as later historians made sense of these violent events in both textual and visual artefacts. . The volume's chronological and geographical breadth provides insight into similarities and differences of siege warfare and military culture across several cultures, countries and centuries, as well as its impact on both combatants and observers.

Economic and Business issues in Retrospect and prospect
There is a strong view that economics is the academic discipline that best represents the claim of positive science among social sciences. Economics has undergone significant transformations after its emergence as a science. Despite all these transformations, the feature containing positive and normative elements has not changed. While economists from the political economy tradition focus on qualitative studies that relate to other social sciences, especially political science and history, a group of economists adopt the qualitative methods of natural sciences to analyze economic problems. There is a debate among economists on how to understand social reality and what kind of science the eco...
Revolution and Disenchantment
The Arab Revolutions that began in 2011 reignited interest in the question of theory and practice, imbuing it with a burning political urgency. In Revolution and Disenchantment Fadi A. Bardawil redescribes for our present how an earlier generation of revolutionaries, the 1960s Arab New Left, addressed this question. Bardawil excavates the long-lost archive of the Marxist organization Socialist Lebanon and its main theorist, Waddah Charara, who articulated answers in their political practice to fundamental issues confronting revolutionaries worldwide: intellectuals as vectors of revolutionary theory; political organizations as mediators of theory and praxis; and nonemancipatory attachments as...
