First and foremost, I should express my deepest gratitude to Michael A. Cook and Jesse Ferris, who have read successive drafts of the entire manuscript and offered generous help in organizing the text. They also drew my attention to points which I might otherwise have overlooked. I am also grateful to my learned colleagues András P. Hámori and Stephen Kotkin, who read the final draft and provided excellent remarks and suggestions. Likewise, I am indebted to my colleagues Mustafa Aksakal, Nancy Coffin, Robert P. Finn, Said Öztürk, İskender Pala, and Milen Petrov for answering numerous inquiries and providing valuable information. I want to express my thanks to the two anonymous reviewers for offering insightful comments toward improving this book. Special thanks are due to Princeton University Press for its careful execu- tion of a difficult task. At the Press, editors Brigitta van Rheinberg and Sara Lerner with competence and good humor answered myriad questions, ac- commodated all requests, and coordinated the publication. Dimitri Karet- nikov, the illustration specialist, managed to produce illustrations that look better than the originals. Karen M. Verde, with her extremely thorough and professional work, considerably exceeded my expectations in a copyeditor. I would also like to express my thanks to Dr. Christopher L. Brest for his help in preparing the maps. I am indebted to the administrations of the Başbakanlik Osmanli Arşivi and Müftülük Arşivi, both in Istanbul, not only for access to their collec- tions but for their kind permission to reproduce many of the illustrations that appear in this book. I also wish to thank Mr. Mehmet Darakçıoğlu, Dr. Fatmagül Demirel, Ms. İffet Baytaş, and Mr. Sabit Baytaş for their help in obtaining some of the illustrations. Thanks are also due to the man- agers and office staff of the Near Eastern Studies Department: Kathleen O’Neill, Christine Riley, Angela Bryant, Danette Rivera, Pinar Gibbon, and Tammy M. Williams for their continuous technical support during the preparation of this study. 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd xi 8/23/2007 7:33:26 PM xii Acknowledgments It is my pleasant duty to record my gratitude to the University Commit- tee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences that made grants toward the cost of my research in Istanbul in 1994 and 2001. I collected all the data regarding books read by members of the Ottoman ruling (askerî) class and Ottoman constitutionalism during these two research trips. Last but not least, I thank my wife Arsev for once again sacrificing the time it took me to work on another book.

Arabic names and titles are transliterated according to a slightly simplified system based on that of the International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies (IJMES). For geographical names frequently encountered in material in the English language, com- mon English usage is preferred. Thus we have Damascus, Monastir, and Salonica, not Dimashq, Bitola, and Thessaloniki. For all other place names, to avoid confusion, the designations current in the contemporary successor states of the Balkans and Near East have been employed. In accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style, foreign terms are italicized only on their first appearance. Gregorian equivalents of both Muslim Hicrî (Hijrī) and the Rumî (Rūmī) dates are provided in square brackets where considered nec- essary. The Hicrî calendar is lunar and starts from the Hijra in a.d. 622; the Rumî calendar was a solar version of the Hicrî calendar based on the Julian calendar. 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd xiii 8/23/2007 7:33:26 PM 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd xiv 8/23/2007 7:33:26 PM 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd xv 8/23/2007 7:33:27 PM 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd Ottoman Protectorates R USSIA Vienna A Principality of Guria (to Russia 1811) xvi B Principality of Mingrelia (Russian protection 1806, Bogdan AUSTRIA (Moldavia) Autonomous Russian annexation 1867) principalities C Principality of Imeretia (to Russia 1810) D Principality of Abkhazia (to Russia 1810) DalmatiaProvince Eflâk E Principality of Svanetia (independent 1810, Russian protection 1833, (Venice) E of Bosna (Wallachia) D Russian annexation 1857) Saraybosna B C (Sarajevo) Silistire Black Sea Province Province Tr A Caspian Sinop abzonRize Dubrovnik (Ragusa) of Rumeli of Samsun Sea Autonomous Republic Iskodra¸ Kars Vassal to the Karadag (Scutari) Silistire Istanbul 6 (Montenegro) Kastamoni Amasya 8 Ottoman Empire 9 Selânik Ankara 3 Erzurum (Salonica) Bursa Sivas 7 1 Van Semi-Autonomous 22 Bitlis Kurdish Ionaian I. 4 Diyar-i 10 (Venice) Izmir(Smyrna) Konya Mar‘as¸ Mardin Principalities Tehran 5 Bekir 2 Adana 11 Erbil Province Musul Kerkük of Mora Iskenderun Rakka 15 IRAN Tunis 14 (Kirkuk) Kibris 12 13 Continued on 23 Lefkose¸ Magosa Girid Bagdad inset below Hanya (Nicosia) 21 (Famagusta) Mediterranean Sea (Canea) Trablus 16 Kerbelâ Sayda Sam¸ (Damascus) 17 Akkâ(Acre) 19 Trablusgarb(Tripoli) Kudüs(Jerusalem) Basra Bingazi 18 Iskenderiye 20 (Alexandria) KUWAIT Un Trablus Garb-Bingazi Kahire (Cairo) der (Tripolitania and Cyrenaica) co Prov ntr Autonomous Karamanli Principality Province ol of BAHRAIN of in NAJD of Trablus Garb-Bingazi ce local r Misir of QATAR (Egypt) Cidde ulers bu Medine (Medina) t 8/23/2007 7:33:27 PM MUSCAT 01_Hanioglu_Prelims_p00i-pxviii.indd claim MUSCAT Red ed Sea by Cidde(Jeddah) the Ot Mekke (Mecca) OMAN toman Empir al-Cezayir (Algiers) Tunis Autonomous xvii al-Madiya (Medea) Rub‘ al-Khali Autonomous Principality Principality Sawakin e of Cezayir (Algeria) of Tunus (Tunis) Province of Sabya Cidde WT ‘ASIR Massawa San‘a’ HADRAMA YEMEN ADEN Mocha Aden 1.

Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

Prof. Selçuk Akşin Somel Keywords: Derviş Vahdeti, Volkan, Pan-Islamism, Ottomanism, Political Islam The aim of this study is to reveal and explore the political ideas of Derviş Vahdeti (1870-1909) who was an important and controversial actor during the first months of the Second Constitutional Period (1908-1918). Starting from 11 December 1908, Vahdeti edited a daily newspaper, named Volkan (Volcano), until 20 April 1909. He personally published a number of writings in Volkan, and expressed his ideas on multiple subjects ranging from politics to the social life in the Ottoman Empire. His harsh criticism that targeted the policies of the Ottoman Committee of Progress and Union (CUP, Osmanlı İttihâd ve Terakki Cemiyeti) made him a serious threat for the authority of the CUP. Vahdeti later established an activist and religion- oriented party, named Muhammadan Union (İttihâd-ı Muhammedi). Although he was subject to a number of studies on the Second Constitutional Period due to his alleged role in the 31 March Incident of 1909, his ideas were mostly ignored and/or he was labelled as a religious extremist (mürteci).

  • The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople1
    STEFANOS ATHANASIOU The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople1 A Religious Minority and a Global Player Introduction In the extended family of the Orthodox Church of the Byzantine rite, it is well known that the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople takes honorary prece- dence over all other Orthodox autocephalous and autonomous churches.2 The story of its origins is well known. From a small church on the bay of the Bos- porus in the fishing village of Byzantium, to the centre of Eastern Christianity then through the transfer of the Roman imperial capital from Rome to Constantinople in the fourth century, and later its struggle for survival in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. Nevertheless, a discussion of the development of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is required to address the newly- kindled discussion between the 14 official Orthodox autocephalous churches on the role of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in today’s Orthodox world. A recalling of apposite historical events is relevant to this discussion. As Karl Löwith remarks, “[H]istorical consciousness can only begin with itself, although its intention is to visualise the thinking of other times and other people. History must continually be recalled, reconsidered and re-explored by each current living generation” (Löwith 2004: 12). This article should also be understood with this in mind. It is intended to awaken old memories for reconsideration and reinterpretation. Since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Ecumenical Patriarchate has taken up the role of custodian of the Byzantine tradition and culture and has lived out this tradition in its liturgical life in the region of old Byzantium (Eastern Roman Empire) and then of the Ottoman Empire and beyond.

  • Sample Design and Weighting Procedures for Bulgaria Crisis Monitoring Survey (CMS) and the Bulgarian Longitudinal Inclusive Society Survey (BLISS)
    Sample Design and Weighting Procedures for Bulgaria Crisis Monitoring Survey (CMS) and the Bulgarian Longitudinal Inclusive Society Survey (BLISS) David J. Megill Statistical Consultant, World Bank May 2014 1. Background The Bulgaria Crisis Monitoring Survey (CMS) was a multi-topic panel survey conducted in February 2010, October 2010 and February 2011. A longitudinal analysis is used for tracking the impact of the economic crisis over time. The CMS collected information on various demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the households and individual household members, including questions on labor market participation and earnings, access to and receipts from social protection programs, informal safety nets and remittances. The survey focused on how Bulgarian households are affected by and are coping with the economic crisis, and includes information on informal employment, reduced spending, postponement of investments, the sale of household assets, and the reliance on formal and informal credit. A national sample of 2,400 households was selected for the main CMS, based on a stratified multi-stage sample design. Given the special need to study the more vulnerable ethnic minority Roma population, an independent "booster sample" of 300 households was selected in settlements and neighborhoods identified as predominantly Roma. The Bulgarian Longitudinal Inclusive Society Survey (BLISS) was conducted in March and April 2013, as a continuation of the longitudinal CMS, with an additional module about the skills of the adult population in Bulgaria. The main purpose of BLISS is to analyze the major barriers to activation (such as skills gaps and mismatches, informational asymmetries, and/or disincentives inherent in the tax-benefit schemes) for different groups (such as women, older workers, and Roma) through an understanding of the labor markets’ behavior.

Since they lack a surviving narrative history of their own, in approaching the Nabataeans one necessarily relies heavily upon the commentaries of outside observers, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Jews, as well as upon comparisons of Nabataean material culture with Classical and Near Eastern models. These approaches have elucidated much about this

  • The Black Sea to the North Sea - 2018
    The Black Sea To The North Sea - 2018 Our overall route is shown to the right, beginning with a few days in Bucharest (Flying Pig Adventure #39 already published), and ending in Amsterdam / the North Sea, where we also spent a few days (and will be covered in an upcoming Flying Pig Adventures travelogue). All this was supposed to be on a single ship, but river water levels along the way required some changes. In the area of Budapest, the river levels were so low we had to abandon the ship and resort to buses which over a few days took us to a place further upstream on the Danube where we could continue our journey on different ship. The ship we transferred to was built a couple of years before the one we had been on before the Budapest abandonment. That ship had been on it’s way to the Black Sea going the opposite way so all the passengers just switched ships. After meeting up with the rest of our travel companions at the Bucharesti hotel we were all bused a couple of hours away to our ship on the Danube. From there we headed down river towards the Black Sea and into the Danube Delta. The Danube splits up into several waterways. We took a southern branch, the Delta’s oldest, most winding arm, Braţul Sfântu Gheorghe. It is the least used by freighters and fishing boats, wider but shallower than the Sulina arm. Sfântu Gheorghe is a small village of brightly painted Lipovani and Ukrainian cottages that has subsisted on fishing since the fourteenth century.

Cyprus and British Colonialism: A Bowen Family Systems Analysis of Conflict Formation Abstract This article uses family systems theory and Bowen family systems psychotherapy concepts to understand the nature of conflict formation during British colonialism in Cyprus. In examining ingredients of the British colonial model through family systems theory, an argument is made regarding the multigenerational transmission of colonial patterns that aid in the perpetuation of the Cyprus conflict ot the present day. The ingredients of the British colonial model discussed include the homeostatic maintenance of the Ottoman colonial structure, a divide and rule policy through triangulation, the use of nationalism and triangulation in the Cypriot education system, political exploitation, and apartheid laws. Explaining how it centers on relationships and circular causality, nonsummativity and homeostasis reveals the useful nature of family systems theories in understanding conflict formation.
