Course Objectives: |
This course attempts to analyze Turkish society in relation to the legacy of the late Ottoman state and society. It provides a detailed analysis of selected aspects of Turkish modernization and employs these topics within the framework of Ottoman/Turkish context. The readings and class discussions will emphasize social, cultural, and economic transformations by covering a wide range of topics. We will evaluate late Ottoman and early republican periods by looking at politics, state-capital, and state-society-military relations. |
