Salvation and Catastrophe
The Greek-Turkish War of 1919–1923—also known as the Western Front of the Turkish War of Liberation and the Asia Minor Campaign—was one of the key aftershocks of the First World War. Internationally better known for its aftermath, the Compulsory Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey, the Catastrophe of Ottoman Greeks, and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the war has never been given a holistic treatment in English, despite its long shadow over the Greek-Turkish relationship. The contributors in this volume address this gap by brining to the fore, on its centenary, aspects of the onset, conduct, and aftermath of this war. Combining insights from the study of international relations, political science, strategic studies, military history, migration studies, and social history the contributions tell the story of leaders and decisions, battles and campaigns, voluntary and involuntary migration, and the human stories of suffering and resilience. It is aspects of the story of the last gasp of the Great War in Europe, brought to its final end with Treaty of Lausanne of 1923.

Economics and Capitalism in the Ottoman Empire
Is it possible to generate "capitalist spirit" in a society, where cultural, economic and political conditions did not unfold into an industrial revolution, and consequently into an advanced industrial-capitalist formation? This is exactly what some prominent public intellectuals in the late Ottoman Empire tried to achieve as a developmental strategy; long before Max Weber defined the notion of capitalist spirit as the main motive behind the development of capitalism. This book demonstrates how and why Ottoman reformists adapted (English and French) economic theory to the Ottoman institutional setting and popularized it to cultivate bourgeois values in the public sphere as a developmental st...
The Extreme Right in Europe
The present work deals not only with the well-organized right extremism in modern Europe as well as with its function in proper political parties, but equally includes two additional, broader approaches: the militant branches and subcultures that exist, including some paramilitary phenomena in Eastern Europe; and the broad realm of their political ideas and cultural trends and the influence they exert on European political culture.

20. Yüzyılda Türkiye-Batı İlişkileri
Türk tarih ve siyaset bilimi literatüründe “Batı” kavramının tanımı ve sınırları ile ilgili farklı yorumlar bulunmaktadır. Bu eserde Türkiye merkezli bir perspektif ile bakıldığında Batı olarak Avrupa ve Amerika’yı kapsayan bir alan dikkate alınmıştır. Türklerin Batı dünyası ile münasebetleri çok eski tarihlere dayanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte Anadolu coğrafyasının yurt edinilişi ile ilişkilerin sıklık ve seviyesi üst düzey bir noktaya gelmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin erken dönemlerinde Balkan coğrafyasından hareketle Viyana sınırlarına kadar fetihler gerçekleştirilmiş; siyasi, sosyal ve ekonomik münasebetler tesis edilmiştir. Osmanl...
Islamic Culture and Pre-Islamic Beliefs in Central Asia
The introduction of Islam ushered in an era of social and cultural change to the region. Some pre-Islamic sacred places have been transformed into Islamic ones, and the cult of saints absorbed elements of both local and Arab mythology. This volume which is a project initiated by the Balkan History Association, focuses on Islamic culture, traditions, and pre-Islamic beliefs in Central Asia. The chapters emphasize the importance of religious life, the significance of certain “sacred places,” and their role in the socio-spiritual life. The volume includes research spanning a period from antiquity to the Post-Soviet era to explore how landscapes of religious places and practices were interpreted and reinterpreted through time.
Türk Ulusunun İnşası
Model olarak iki farklı geleneği birleştirmeye çalışan Türk ulus devleti; siyasal yapısını Fransız geleneğinden, toplumu ortak kültür etrafında yeniden yapılandırma özelliğini Alman geleneğinden aldı. Ortak kültür, ortak dil ve ortak tarih oluşturma çabaları toplumun homojenleşmesi bakımından önemlidir. Bu bağlamda ortak kültür, ortak dil ve ortak tarih oluşturma çabaları farklı kurumsal yapıları ortaya çıkardı. Bu durum aynı zamanda formal ve informal öğrenme/öğretme yoluyla toplumun homojenleştirilmesi anlamını taşımaktadır. Türk Tarih Tezi bu bağlamda en önemli örneklerdendir. Bu kitabında Mustafa Oral, resmi tarih tezi olarak tanımlanan Türk Tarih Tezinin ortaya çıkış sürecini Tanzimat dönemi romantik Türkçüleri çerçevesinden, I. Türk Tarih Kongresine ve oradan Türk Tarih Tezinin kültürel etkilerine kadar geniş bir yelpazede satır aralarını okuyarak yeni bir bakış açısı sunuyor.
The Waning of the Mediterranean, 1550–1870
2008 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Magazine Conventional scholarship on the Mediterranean portrays the Inner Sea as a timeless entity with unchanging ecological and agrarian features. But, Faruk Tabak argues, some of the "traditional" and "olden" characteristics that we attribute to it today are actually products of relatively recent developments. Locating the shifting fortunes of Mediterranean city-states and empires in patterns of long-term economic and ecological change, this study shows how the quintessential properties of the basin—the trinity of cereals, tree crops, and small livestock—were reestablished as the Mediterranean's importance in global commerce, agriculture, and po...
