The Ethnicity Problem in a Multi-Ethnic Anational Islamic State: Continuity and Recasting of Ethnic Identity in the Ottoman State
Karpat argues in his chapter not only that the nation-state is a specifically Western and European invention, but so is "the ethnic problem" itself, which arises because of the establishment within each state of one dominant language and ethnic group. The European nation-state form contrasts with the Ottoman system that specifically recognized the cultural and religious rights of the various ethnoreligious groups, as a consequence of which ethnic…
The Entry of the Ottoman Empire into World War I
This article clarifies several points related to the Ottoman entry into the First World War. First, the Young Turk leaders mistrusted deeply Great Britain which had occupied Egypt in 1882, and appeared disposed to satisfy French and Italian ambitions at the Ottoman expense. Yet, most of the Unionists, not to speak of the public and Parliament, were opposed to war. Indeed, the British and French tacitly agreed to divide the Ottoman state. For this…

The Genesis of the Gecekondu: Rural Migration and Urbanization (1976)
The author of the The Gecekondu explains the reasons which drove him, in the course of his academic career, to write this book. The author gives many insights, sometimes in a personal way, to understand the place of this book, both in his own cursus and in the field of urban studies. He explicits his interest in migration as a factor of changes in the social structure and modernization process in the late Ottoman and Republican Turkey. Confronted…
The Politicization of Islam: Reconstructing Identity, State, Faith, and Community in the Late Ottoman State
Combining international and internal perspectives, this book analyses the transformation of the Ottoman Empire over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It views privatization of state lands and the increase of domestic and foreign trade as key factors in the rise of a Muslim middle class, which, increasingly aware of its economic interests and communal roots, then attempted to reshape the government to reflect its ideals. These ideals straddl…
Ottoman Past and Today's Turkey
This is the first time the continuity of Ottoman culture in contemporary Turkey is discussed by a group of well-known scholars of Ottoman-Turkish history and society. This is done through a series of research essays on Ottoman culture, its organizations, its modes of thought, and its identities (and their changes). Also, they point out the confused view of republican Turks towards their Ottoman past. The insightful essays provide not only origina…

'De Kayseri Sancağı'nın Sosyal, Ekonomik ve İdari Durumu: İngiltere'nin Anadolu Konsolos Yardımcısı Lieutenant Ferdinant Bennet'in Raporu (Ekim 1880)
Osmanlı Devleti 19. yüzyılda derin sosyal ve ekonomik değişikliklere katlanmak zorunda kaldı. Şimdilik büyük bir bölümü için, bu değişiklikler tarafsız ve evrensel boyutlarda araştırılmadı, yorumlanmadı ve değerlendirilmedi. 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti'nin tarihi üzerine yapılan araştırmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu, politik ve kültürel nitelikli araştırmalardan oluşmaktadır. Bu araştırmalar, görünüşte Osmanlı Hükümeti tarafından temsil edilmiş ola…

The Turks of Bulgaria: The Struggle for National-Religious Survival of a Muslim Minority
In May 1989, two series of demonstrations in Turkish villages of northeast Bulgaria was followed by a massive gathering of more than 50,000 Muslim Turks in the town of Shumnu in the same area. The Turks had converged to Shumnu from the surrounding villages and smaller towns in order to protest the forced changes of names and the bulgarization imposed by the government of Todor Zhivkov, then undisputed ruler of Bulgaria. The demonstration was put …

An Update on Turkish Archives
Students of Middle Eastern, North African, and Balkan history of the period extending roughly from the middle of the fifteenth or the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of World War I ought to know about the vital developments that have occurred since 1985 in the Turkish Archives or Başbakanlik Arşivleri (prime minister’s archives).

Introduction: Elites and the transmission of nationality and identity
The Ottoman Emigration to America,1860–1914
Population movements have always played a major role in the life of Islam and particularly the Middle East. During the nineteenth century, however, the transfer of vast numbers of people from one region to another profoundly altered the social, ethnic, and religious structure of the Ottoman state—that is, the Middle East and the Balkans. The footloose tribes of eastern Anatolia, Syria, Iraq, and the Arabian peninsula were spurred into motion on a…
The Transformation of the Ottoman State, 1789-1908
The study of the Ottoman state in tĥe latter part of the eighteenth century and throughout the nineteenth demands a broader analytical framework than hitherto used if its transformation and the social and political history of the Middle East, the Balkans, and even North Africa, which were parts of the Ottoman State at one time or other, are to be properly evaluated and interpreted
The gecekondu: Rural Migration and Urbanization
Ottoman Population Records and the Census of 1881/82–1893
Population movements have always played a dynamic role in the transformation of human society throughout history. Indeed, there is not a single phase of history anywhere in the world which has not been related in some way to low or high rates of birth and mortality, to migration and settlement and to their social, cultural, economic, and political effects. The history of the Middle East supplies excellent examples to support this contention. The …
Political and Social Thought in the Contemporary Middle East
Society, Economics, and Politics in Contemporary Turkey
The internal political life of Turkey since the revolution of 1960 JL has been beset by military coups and conflicts between political parties and social groups far more frequent and intensive than might normally be expected in a post-revolutionary period. This unrest contrasts sharply with the political stability which prevailed before 1960, and comes after a series of constitutional changes intended to establish a better system for orderly chan…
Political developments in Turkey, 1950–70
The elections of May 14, 1950, which brought the Democratic Party (Demokrat Parti) of Celal Bayar and Adnan Menderes, President and Premier in 1950-60 respectively, to power and sent the Republican Party (Cumhurriyet Halk Partisi) of Ismet Inonii into opposition (it is still there) was the turning point in Turkish political and social life. It set into motion a new process of leadership selection, social mobilization and broader popular participa…
