Indigenous Knowledge and Ethnomathematics
The book presents a series of ethnographic studies, which illustrate issues of wider importance, such as the role of cultural traditions, concepts and learning procedures in the development of formal (or mathematical) thinking outside of the western tradition. It focuses on research at the crossroads of anthropology and ethnomathematics to document indigenous mathematical knowledge and its inclusion in specific cultural patterns. More generally, the book demonstrates the heuristic value of crossing ethnographical, anthropological and ethnomathematical approaches to highlight and analyze—or "formalize" with a pedagogical outlook—indigenous mathematical knowledge.

Japan's Relations with Muslim Asia
This book offers a useful and extensive account of Japan’s past discoveries and present interactions with Muslim states and societies across Asia. Bearing in mind the U.S.-led global meta-narrative of Islam spoken in tandem with security and threats, this book examines how this reconciles with Japan’s self-proclaimed “values-based” approach to diplomacy across Asia in the twenty-first century. The author considers Japan’s historic conceptualization and learning of Islam, and its acute needs for access to markets and energy from Muslim-majority states in Asia. He also argues that Japan securitizes Islam in a manner distinct from Western, Russian, or Chinese securitization today, but that Japan promotes itself as a model for human security and development across an Asia inclusive of Muslim states. Japan’s approach to Islam and Muslim societies today offers much from which other great powers can learn.
Karşılaştırmalı Siyaset Teorisine Giriş
Siyaset teorisi, genel olarak, Batı düşünce geleneği tarafından tanımlanan bir disiplindir. İslam veya Konfüçyüsçülük gibi öğretiler tarafından geliştirilen, insanların niçin ve nasıl birlikte yaşaması gerektiği konusunda sayısız düşünce, bu geleneğin dışındadır. Buna karşılık, “karşılaştırmalı siyaset teorisi”, daha geniş bir anlayışa yönelik olarak siyaset teorisinin belirli bir kültürün veya tarihsel bir çağın ürünü olmadığını varsayar. Dr. Aykut Karahan’ın bu çalışması, siyaset biliminin görece yeni bir alt dalı olan karşılaştırmalı siyaset teorisinin doğası, kapsamı, amaçları ve yöntemleri hakkındaki tar...
Civilizations and World Order
Civilizations and World Order: Geopolitics and Cultural Difference examines the role of civilizations in the context of the existing and possible world order(s) from a cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary perspective. Contributions seek to clarify the meaning of such complex and contested notions as “civilization,” “order,” and “world order”; they do so by taking into account political, economic, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of social life. The book deals with its main theme from three angles or vectors: first, the geopolitical or power-political context of civilizations; secondly, the different roles of civilizations or cultures against the backdrop of “post-coloniality” and “Orientalism”; and thirdly, the importance of ideological and regional differences as factors supporting or obstructing world order(s). All in all, the different contributions demonstrate the impact of competing civilizational trajectories on the functioning or malfunctioning of contemporary world order.
