Contemporary Islam
Contemporary Islam provides a counterweight to the prevailing opinions of Islamic thought as conservative and static with a preference for violence over dialogue. It gathers together a collection of eminent scholars from around the world who tackle issues such as intellectual pluralism, gender, the ethics of political participation, human rights, non-violence and religious harmony. This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.
Wirtschaftskultur und Institutionen im Osmanischen Reich und der Türkei
Im Zuge der Beitrittsverhandlungen mit der EU sind Lage und Aussichten der türkischen Wirtschaft in den Blickpunkt breiteren Interesses gerückt. Aber nicht nur wirtschaftliche, sondern auch kulturelle Argumente und Einschätzungen spielen in diesem Zusammenhang eine wichtige Rolle. Diese Studie untersucht aus einer langfristigen Perspektive die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des Osmanischen Reiches und der Türkei bis in die Gegenwart. Mit Hilfe institutionenökonomischer Ansätze wird analysiert, ob die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und dabei auftretende Entwicklungshemmnisse durch Institutionen und Interessengruppen erklärt werden können. Da dies nicht vollständig möglich ist, wird auf die Entwicklung von Weltanschauungen, wirtschaftsrelevanten Werten sowie ethnischen und religiösen Interessengruppen eingegangen. Insbesondere wird herausgestellt, welche Faktoren einen lang anhaltenden Einfluss auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung hatten und für die Wirtschaftssituation der Türkei gegenwärtig noch von Bedeutung sind.
Paths to the Middle East
The field of Middle East studies is undergoing a generational change in academia, government, and the corporate community. The men and women who trained the present generation of scholars and who shaped government and corporate policies toward the Middle East after World War II have begun to retire, and unfortunately some have recently died. To preserve their insights into the past and their visions of the future, Thomas Naff asked a number of major Islamic and Middle East scholars to provide their perspectives and views in a short, personal summation of their careers. This book is a compilation of their responses. It provides a unique evaluation of the last 30 or 40 years by ten of the most...

Living the Good Life
Eighteenth-century consumers of the Qing and Ottoman empires had access to an increasingly diverse array of goods, from home furnishings to fashionable clothes and new foodstuffs. While this tendency was of shorter duration and intensity in the Ottoman world, some urbanites of the sultans’ realm did enjoy silks, coffee, and Chinese porcelain. By contrast, a vibrant consumer culture flourished in Qing China, where many consumers flaunted their fur coats and indulged in gourmet dining. Living the Good Life explores how goods furthered the expansion of social networks, alliance-building between rulers and regional elites, and the expression of elite, urban, and gender identities. The scholarship in the present volume highlights the recently emerging “material turn” in Qing and Ottoman historiographies and provides a framework for future research.
