A thrilling historical adventure story from Turkey's most daring young voice We'll create a machine. A peace machine that will put an end to all wars. The twentieth century dawns and the world stands on the brink of yet another bloody war. But what if conflict were not inevitable? What if a mindcontrol machine could exploit the latest developments in electromagnetic science to put an end to violence, forever? The search for the answer to these questions leads Celal away from his unassuming life as an Istanbul-based writer of erotic fiction, and on a quest across a continent stumbling headlong towards disaster, from the Ottoman capital to Paris and Belgrade, as he struggles to uncover the mys...
This book provides a detailed survey and analysis of US–Kurdish relations and their interaction with domestic, regional and global politics. Using the Kurdish issue to explore the nature of the engagement between international powers and weaker non-state entities, the author analyses the existence of an interactive US relationship with the Kurds of Iraq. Drawing on governmental archives and interviews with political figures both in Northern Iraq and the United States, the author places the case study within a broader International Relations context. The conceptual framework centres on the inter-relations between actors (both state and non-state) and structures of material and ideational ki...
Istanbul, im Frühjahr 1914. Die Welt steht kurz vor dem Ausbruch eines großen, blutigen Krieges. Was, wenn der Konflikt vermeidbar wäre? Wenn eine Maschine sich die neuesten Erkenntnisse auf dem Gebiet des Elektromagnetismus zunutze machen und das Denken jeden einzelnen Menschen beeinflussen könnte? Wenn diese Maschine dafür sorgen würde, dass es nie wieder Krieg gäbe? Die Suche nach den Antworten auf diese Fragen führt den jungen Türken Celal weg aus Istanbul, wo er ein bescheidenes Dasein als Verfasser erotischer Literatur führt. Eine abenteuerliche Reise durch Europa beginnt. Quer durch einen Kontinent, der geradewegs in die Katastrophe zu stürzen droht.

Che cosa accadrebbe se una macchina potesse porre fine alla violenza nel mondo una volta per tutte? È l’alba del ventesimo secolo e l’umanità si trova sull’orlo della guerra.Il conflitto sembra inevitabile, ma le moderne scoperte sull’elettromagnetismo suggeriscono prospettive insperate. Celal, giovane scrittore di romanzi erotici, scopre l’esistenza della macchina della pace grazie a una commedia scritta da Sahir Bey, un vecchio amico del padre. Attirato da Sahir e dalla talentuosa Céline, l’illustratrice dei suoi controversi romanzi, in un piano complesso e quanto mai assurdo per rovesciare i governi in carica ed eliminare la violenza dalla terra, Celal viaggerà tra Istanbu...
The media is often viewed as a primary gauge which reflects the changing political landscape as societies transition from authoritarian regimes to democracies. Chronicling the process through media analysis provides deeper insights into the relationship between technology, the state, and social forces that are reflected in the public’s communications. This volume explores the challenges and political conditions that have shaped the media in several representative studies of the media in the Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. The contributors analyse the legacy of the past on the development of the media in post-authoritarian regimes and explore the relationships between media, communication industries (public relations), and politics. The use of new communications technologies to manipulate the media and the public introduce a novel use of social media by populists as well as authoritarian regimes and their proxies. This book presents a comparative and global investigation of the role of the media in the realignment from established policies to an emerging milieu of new channels of communication that challenge traditional media practices.
