Reciprocity is a universal concept in international law and in international relations that encourages the parties to adhere to contractual agreements. It is also binding, as it allows the possibility of sanctions under the international law. However, within the framework of reciprocal treatment of the minorities in Greece and Turkey, the concept was misconstrued and, eventually, misused by the respective governments. In both of these states, reciprocity had been interpreted as a legitimate basis for retaliation against its own citizens for policies of another sovereign state. Clearly, reciprocity, when applied to the situation of minorities in Greece and Turkey, cannot be treated by both governments as means of reprisal, but instead should be a source of responsibility towards the respective minority that resides in each of the states and constitutes part of the society. The idea of this book was born out of the AFEMAM (French Association for Studies on Muslim and Arab World) Congress, held in Strasbourg in 2005. This book, a collaborative effort of eight scholars specializing in Greek-Turkish relations, offers an insight on the issue of reciprocity in the case of Greek and Turkish minorities in Turkey and Greece from legal, historical, sociological and political science perspectives. The objective of this collective endeavour is to introduce a spectrum of views on the issue and invite the international community, academia and policy-makers, as well as general public, to advance and contribute to the discussion and dialogue opened in this volume.

Turkish case is no Taliban or Afghanistan, no Pakistan or Yemen. Turkish case we think represents what is today new in the Islamic world more than the aforementioned examples. What is remarkable in the Turkish case is that the rise of Islamic practice has come on the heels of a century of secularization which only had accelerated in the last half of that hundred years.". Islam speaks of two languages today in Turkey: a "language of dispossesed" and a "language of (a)possessing". Serif Mardin, as a prominent sociologist with his work "Center-Periphery Relations: A Key to Turkish Politics?" well anticipated and clarified this new Islamic politics. Birtek and Toprak aim to celebrate several aspects of Mardin's work with articles that advert this new Islamic era through a view of history and policy. ISLAM Philosophy Modern Turkey Turkish Republic Turkish intelligent Intelligentsia.

"This collection of papers by Ilber Ortayli mainly deals with the political, economic, social and cultural transformations which the Ottoman Empire has undergone in its last centuries. These areas of transformation, namely millet conception in the Ottoman Empire, modernization, tendencies in historiography, structural and judicial changes in familial relationships, provincial and urban structure in the Ottoman Empire and the relationship between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, determined the titles for the chapters of the book. Ortayli, meticulously examining the archives and sources about the late Ottoman history, gives a comprehensive and multifaceted picture of the Empire.".

The essays in this collection address the question of nationalism in its manifest and latent forms in the Balkan literatures.

The contributors from the various Balkan countries as well as experts on Balkan history and culture interrogate the ways in which the national consciousness of the specific country under discussion infiltrates its literary production.

Istanbul: Istanbul Bilgi University Press, 2009. Large 8vo., 175 p. Paperback. New ISBN: 9786053991267 CATALOG: Social history KEYWORDS: Turkish Economy European Union This book is the outcome of an interdisciplinary and comparative research project aiming at the analysis of different forms of regional development within the context of the EU in three selected regions of a founding member state (France), a recent member state (Poland) and a negotiating candidate country (Turkey). The research was funded by the European Union within the framework of a large scale project run by Istanbul Bilgi University, Sciences Po-Paris, and the Institut Francais d?Etudes Anatoliennes (IFEA). This work intends to highlight the capacities of some European states to manage economic, social and political complexity embedded in the industrial and regional areas facing difficulties and crisis. The complexity here refers to some cities, which are typically called ?company towns? forced to reshape not only their industrial profile, but also social and economic characteristics of the urban space. Drawing lessons from Valenciennes and Katowice, which have been successful in complying with the requirements of new global economy and multilevel governance within the European Union, this research book tends to propose some suggestions for Karabuk.

"The Extermination of Armenians in the Diarbekir Region is a study based largely on neglected sources from Turkish and Armenian archives covering the years 1908 to 1915. It discusses the rise of the "Committee of Union and Progress, "the nascent Kurdish nationalist movement, and the annihilation of the Ottoman Armenian population. The deportation and massacre of Armenians was a complex process with central authorities in Istanbul, regional governors, and local elites competing for control. Consequently, decision-making, deportations, assimilation policies, the seizure of Armenian properties as well as the settlement of Kurdish and other Muslim groups appear in a new light. Rather than following a strict preconceived plan, Ottoman authorities regularly implemented ill-defined policies. Often they followed suggestions from governors. Consequently, local officials had a more radicalizing impact on overall anti-Armenian policies than hitherto assumed. Many others, however, offered determined resistance. Neither the "Committee of Union and Progress" nor the Ottoman bureaucracy had unified in persecuting Armenians. The book does not present the developments in the region in a dichotomous perspective but emphasizes complexities beyond the governing paradigms and opens new avenues for research and discussion".

Large 8vo., xi, 195 p., b/w ills. Paperback. New ISBN: 9786053995258 CATALOG: Middle East KEYWORDS: Syria Middle East international relations War migration This book examines the Syrian crisis and exodus by focusing on the experiences of the dispossessed rather than the recipient states. Reintegration and resettlement after situations of mass displacement are generally long-term, multi-faceted and complex processes. Whether we are talking about acceptance in a new society as refugees, migrants, and guest workers, or returning home to postconflict situations, each scenario involves both specific physical challenges and difficult encounters with broader political communities. The debate presented here on precarity and statelessness in terms of systemic denial of access to rights, or, their selective attribution to Syrians on the move, allows us to reconsider the Syrian exodus in a new framework that links forced migration, labour studies, citizenship and rights debates rather than isolating the refugee experience.

New ISBN: 9786053991281 CATALOG: Social history KEYWORDS: Turkish French relations Turkey's EU trajectory has for long been situated among the core of national and international concerns within the European academic circles and beyond. One of the fundamental issues surrounding the issue concerns the lack of rational debates in Europe on Turkish accession to the EU. The project entitled "INTERACT: Empowering Civil Society Dialogue between Turkey and France", funded by the Civil Society Dialogue Program of the European Commission, and administered by Istanbul Bilgi University, Sciences Po-Paris and Institut Francais d'Etudes Anatoliennes (IFEA), aimed to tackle this issue within the scope of the relations between Turkey and France. Its main goal was to eradicate prejudice and promote socialisation between France and Turkey through academic cooperation and thus the fostering of a rational debate on Turkey's accession to the EU. This book brings together a collection of the selected academic and policy-relevant outputs from the project activities that were geared towards this end.

Vol. 2. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with women from Ankara during the opening of the Gazi Orman Çiftligi on 7 June 1925, following the announcement of the hat reforms. "In these two volumes, Feroz Ahmad focuses on a crucial period of Turkish modernisation; from Young Turks to Turkish Republic and the relationship between the Committee of Union and Progress and Modern Turkey. He traces the works of generations of reformers; engineers of a new social structure, as well as events that shaped the modernisation path. These articles especially deal with the period since the 1908 revolution, examining the process by which the new Turkey was formed. Ahmad also underlines the crises of legitimacy that characterized much of the period. Articles in two volumes are compiled thematically. First volume deals with the "ideas" of modernisation which spans the period of Young Turk Revolution to Kemalist Movement. That volume also elaborates various subjects such as unionist relations with minorities, the social and economic policy of the Young Turks and the political economy of Kemalism. Second volume discusses events of the period and comments from important figures such as Trotsky. This volume also contains articles on development of working-class consciousness, postage stamps that reflect ideology in the late Ottoman Empire and Ottoman perception of the capitulations. These two volumes also shed the light on problems of contemporary Turkey. Feroz Ahmad's works on Second Constitutional Monarchy and Modern Turkey are well-known. He is an important historian who observes and evaluates political structure of East; from Muslim India to Turkey. In these volumes, he evaluates the problems of Turkey in the last century and discusses with Turkologists and Turkish intellectuals. These articles are written in various times and compiled in a specific context.".
