When Grand Sinan was conscripted into Ottoman service under the devshirme system from Kayseri Ağırnas and increased his experience by completing his observations in the Arabian and Persian territories under the service of the army and the sultan, he knew that he would build all the works the humanity would need in this wide geography, leave them as his legacy to the future and people would travel to see these works.

This handbook explores anti-communism as an overarching phenomenon of twentieth-century global history, showing how anti-communist policies and practices transformed societies around the world. It advances research on anti-communism by looking beyond ideologies and propaganda to uncover how these ideas were put into practice. Case studies examine the role of states and non-state actors in anti-communist persecutions, and cover a range of topics, including social crises, capitalist accumulation and dispossession, political clientelism and warfare. Through its comparative perspective, the handbook reveals striking similarities between different cases from various world regions and highlights t...
The present study offers a thorough account of the activities of the radical left in Turkey between 1960-1980 and shows how these formed a major contributing factor to the political instability of the country and the military coups that took place in March 1971 and September 1980. The military coup of May 1960 liberalized political life in Turkey, and a legal leftist movement arose, combining in its ranks social-democratic, trade-unionist and Marxist elements. Many of these were united in the framework of the Turkish Labour Party. The ideological and political struggle within the leftist movement led to a split in the Labour Party and to the formation in the 1970s of several legal socialist parties, each of which adopted its own model of socialism: "Soviet," "Chinese," "Turkish," "Scandinavian," "North Korean." The 1980 military coup terminated the legal activity of the marxist parties. Some merged with the Communist Party, which operated illegally, others sought ways of legalizing their activity in the new political conditions of Turkey.
Bu kitap Türkiye’nin iki istisnai yayıncılık deneyimini bir araya getiriyor: Türkiye’nin ilk politik e-kitap yayıncısı Propaganda Yayınları ve yayınevi üstü bir yayıncılık örgütlenmesi olan Yayın Kolektifi. Bu seçki, Yayın Kolektifi’nin ilk yılı içerisinde yayınladığı yedi kitaptan yapılan bir derlemedir. Kolektif’le Propaganda Yayınları’nın diğer bir ortak özelliği, ikisinin de 2011 Ocak ayında faaliyete geçmesidir. Yayın Kolektifi, bir çağrıyla oluşumunu duyurmuş, katılımcıların yatay örgütlenmesiyle hayata geçmiştir. Propaganda Yayınları ise aynı tarihlerde ‘eylemliliğe geçtiğini’ ilan etmiş ve ilk kitabını mart 2011'de yayınlamıştır.
Bu kitap, yirminci yüzyıl Türkiye'sinin en önemli Marksist aydınlarından birisi olan Behice Boran'ın siyasal ve entelektüel portresini çiziyor. Behice Boran, sosyalist harekette, Türkiye'nin ekonomik ve sosyal örgütlenme biçimlerini bilimsel yöntemlerle inceleyen ve böylece Türkiye'ye özgü sosyalizm yönteminin ortaya çıkarılmasına katkıda bulunan bir öğretim üyesi olarak yer almak istemişti. Fakat siyasal bir kararla üniversiteden koparılınca aktif siyaset alanına girdi. Siyasal ve toplumsal çözümlemelerinde tarihsel materyalist yöntemi yetkin bir şekilde kullanmasıyla dikkat çekti. Onunki, ülkesinin kendine özgünlüklerini kavramak ile bunları tari...

The postwar period is no longer current affairs but is becoming the recent past. As such, it is increasingly attracting the attentions of historians. Whilst the Cold War has long been a mainstay of political science and contemporary history, recent research approaches postwar Europe in many different ways, all of which are represented in the thirty-five chapters of this book. As well as diplomatic, political, institutional, economic, and social history, The Oxford Handbook of Postwar European History contains chapters which approach the past through the lenses of gender, espionage, art and architecture, technology, agriculture, heritage, postcolonialism, memory, and generational change, and ...
