The Armenian Question, 1914-1923
Investigates the nature of the "Armenian Question" which erupted in the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. Evaluates the phenomena from the viewpoint of international relations. Concludes that the efforts of the Ottoman, both towards modernization and "becoming a nation", proved to be useless in overcoming the counter-cultural opposition in the Armenians and in integrating them into the main social structure.
The Jews of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic
The Ottoman Turks provided refuge for Jews fleeing from persecution in Europe and Byzantium from the emergence of the Ottoman Empire in the 13th century until the 19th century, when it also received thousands of Jews persecuted in Tzarist Russia, and the 20th century, when it provided refuge for Jews fleeing from Russian pogroms and the Nazi holocaust. Shaw's study is the product of some 35 years of research on Ottoman history. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Dervish and Commander
In an age of so-called Conflict of Civilisations, Turkey's endeavours in becoming a neo-liberal country, would not only liberate itself from the restrictive parameters of a national security state, which it was during the Cold War ; but it would also pose a model to the Islamic world torn with Al Qaeda terror as an exemplary edifice of how a pro-western moderately Muslim country could survive both as a secular and democratic state. This book is concerned with Turkey's identity crisis in the post-modern era. Caught between the security considerations which were dictated by the country's geo-strategic location, Turkey, since the1980s has been struggling to join the European Union as a means of integrating itself into the world of freedoms, human rights and pluralist democracy. This book adopts a thematic approach to Turkey's struggle in becoming part of Global Society.
Ultra-Nationalist Policies of Trump and Reflections in the World
The main aim of this book is to evaluate the US foreign policy during the Trump era and its ultra-nationalism within the context of its influence on the major actors and regions at the international level. The authoritarian dimension of the Trump administration's policy will be the supportive element of the framework of this book. The events in the US move very quickly nowadays in terms of Trump's authoritarianism, despite all the natural shortcomings. We hope that this book will serve as a guide to understand Trump's US foreign policy.
The Ruling Elite
The U.S. government, complicit with the well-connected corporations, since the so-called Civil War, continues to wage war and destruction. Lincoln's revolutionary war, supported by Marx and Engels, caused at least 618,222 and perhaps as many as 700,000 deaths, including about 50,000 Confederate civilians. Soldiers who were fighting, dying and killing during that war were in training for future wars. If Americans could kill fellow citizens, then they would use force against foreign citizens, in behalf of the government. That war foreshadowed the devastating global warfare that followed with the Spanish American War, two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, the First Gulf War and the current wars in th...

Istanbul & Surroundings Travel Adventures
The second you land in Istanbul two things hit you: how vast it is and how chaotic. The cauldron of noise builds in the morning with the first call to prayer. As the city springs to life, ferries and tankers weave their way across the Bosphorus Strait from Asia to Europe and traffic chokes the streets. Hundreds of fishermen line the Galata Bridge in search of their daily catch to sell in cafés nestled below, while seagulls swoop and squall. At the end of the bridge, locals crush into the dark passageways at Eminönü's spice market and along the warrens of the Grand Bazaar for another day of haggling.
Remembrance and Denial
A fresh look at the forgotten genocide of world history. The Armenian Genocide that began in World War I, during the drive to transform the plural Ottoman Empire into a monoethnic Turkey, removed a people from its homeland and erased most evidence of their 3000-year-old material and spiritual culture. For the rest of this century, changing world events, calculated silence, and active suppression of memory have overshadowed the initial global outrage and have threatened to make this calamity "the forgotten genocide" of world history. Fourteen leading scholars here examine the Armenian Genocide from a variety of perspectives to refute those efforts and show how remembrance and denial have shaped perceptions of the event. Many of the chapters draw on archival records and court proceedings to review the precursors and process of the genocide, examine German complicity, and share the responses of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders.
