Free Download Ayca Arkilic, "Diaspora diplomacy: The politics of Turkish emigration to Europe "
English | ISBN: 1526148684 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Since the early 2000s, Turkey has shown an unprecedented interest in its diaspora. This book provides the first in-depth examination of the institutionalisation of Turkey’s diaspora engagement policy since the Justice and Development Party’s rise to power in 2002, the Turkish diaspora’s new role as an agent of diplomatic goals, and how Turkey’s growing sphere of influence affects intra-diaspora politics and diplomatic relations with Europe. The book is based on fieldwork in Turkey, France and Germany, and interviews conducted with diaspora organisation leaders and policymakers.

Dialectical Encounters Contemporary Turkish Muslim Thought in Dialogue


Free Download Taraneh Wilkinson, "Dialectical Encounters: Contemporary Turkish Muslim Thought in Dialogue"
English | ISBN: 147444153X | 2019 | 256 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Discussions of Islam in Turkey are still heavily dominated by political considerations and the dualistic paradigms of modern v. traditional, secular v. religious. Yet there exists a body of Muslim institutions in the country – Turkish theology faculties – whose work overcomes ideological divisions. By engaging with Turkish theology in its theological rather than political concerns, this book sheds light on complex Muslim voices in the context of a largely Western and Christian modernity.

Free Download Eva A Csato, Joakim Parslow, Emel Turker, "Building Bridges to Turkish: Essays in Honour of Bernt Brendemoen"
English, Deutsch | 2019 | ISBN: 3447111232 | PDF | pages: 353 | 14.2 mb
This volume contains over twenty articles written by outstanding Turcologists in honour of the Norwegian scholar Bernt Brendemoen, whose oeuvre is reviewed in an introductory chapter. The topics addressed in the articles represent important fields of research in current Turcological studies. Most chapters are devoted to the study of Turkic languages and varieties, exploring issues such as historical developments in the sound systems in Chuvash, Karamanli Turkish and Uyghur, the history and typology of Balkan Turkish and Tuvan, contact induced phenomena in Cypriot Turkish, the writing system of Turkmen, language documentation demonstrated by the examples of Lithuanian Karaim and Noghay, properties of borrowed vocabulary in Turkish, the lexicology of Crimean Tatar, and specific features of diaspora Turkish. Other articles address topics in Turkish literature, such as Turkish science fiction and the works of Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Namik Kemal, and Fatma Aliye Hanim. Another contribution analyses samples of Irano-Turkic folk poetry. Two articles deal with the history of Turkic studies in the Copenhagen School and the history of Post-Ottoman studies. The volume is peer reviewed.

Zeki Kuneralp and the Turkish Foreign Service


Free Download Yucel Guclu, "Zeki Kuneralp and the Turkish Foreign Service"
English | 2015 | pages: 599 | ISBN: 1443864579 | PDF | 2,0 mb
This book is not a conventional biography. It is not only a portrait of a larger-than-life Turkish diplomat, whose Foreign Service career spanned almost four decades – from 1941 to 1979-but also offers a glimpse into the evolution of the organization of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provides an account of the attitudes and methods of the Ministry’s officials. A good biography should cast light upon its subject’s times as well as his-or her-life; upon the way things were done, as much as upon the way a particular individual reacted and behaved. As such, in this book, not only is Zeki Kuneralp the man addressed but also the great developments of his time are explored extensively. The book blends biographical narrative with explorations of various aspects of the foreign policy issues with which Kuneralp was involved. The book treats in detail the major problems with which Kuneralp was directly concerned at each of his postings: that is, meeting the right people abroad, promoting Turkish interests, reporting to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, subordinating local matters to the political and economic goals of Turkey, and conducting diplomacy so as always to be in accord with Ankara’s policy makers, whose big picture he always kept in mind.
