  • Cult of Personality in Monumental Art and Architecture: the Case of Post-Soviet Turkmenistan
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 25, pp. 203-220 Cult of Personality in Monumental Art and Architecture: The Case of Post-Soviet Turkmenistan Jan Šír On December 21, 2006, the death of Turkmenistan President Saparmu- rat Niyazov at age 66 was announced by the Türkmendöwlethabarlary State News Agency. Thus, the presidency for life of this rather odious and eccentric dictator came to an end. He autocratically ruled this energy-rich Central Asian republic since the declaration of independence in 1991. Niyazov referred to himself as Turkmenbashi, literally meaning the “Head of the Turkmens.” Through his charismatic leadership, he had a tight grip on all political power in Turkmenistan. He was in control of the Turkmenistan Democratic Party, the former Communist Party. This only legal political party in Turkmenistan filled the institutional vacuum after the collapse of the Soviet Union. All national media were also in the hands of the first President. Turkmenbashi’s peculiar semi-autobiography titled Rukhnama, or the “Spiritual Code,” was officially proclaimed as the Holy Book. Indoctrination reached unprecedented levels. In addition, the government maintained effective control over the national econ- omy. Turkmenistan had been repeatedly denounced for a disastrous human rights record, which could have been even worse had the regime had more efficient administrative capacities. In the context of a predominantly rural and politically indifferent society based on clan allegiances, oppression has so far provoked little public outrage.1 The passing away of Saparmurat Turkmenbashi, once almighty ruler of Turkmenistan during its constitutive period, is an important watershed for the history of this newly independent state.

    University of Nevada, Reno The Caspian Sea Resources: The Foundation for a Path Forward for the Economic, Political and Social Development of Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science by Batyr Odeyev Prof. Robert L. Ostergard, Jr/Thesis Advisor May, 2011 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by BATYR ODEYEV entitled The Caspian Sea Resources: The Foundation For A Path Forward For The Economic, Political And Social Development Of Azerbaijan And Turkmenistan be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Prof. Robert L. Ostergard, Jr, Advisor Prof. Jiangnan Zhu, Committee Member Prof. Murat Yuksel, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School May, 2011 i ABSTRACT This case study explores the Caspian Sea energy politics, specifically the Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline (TCGP) project and the Azeri-Turkmen conflict over the three offshore oil and gas fields. The conflict has been a deadlock of the project. It is almost unfeasible constructing the TCGP underneath of the sea without finding a viable solution to the Azeri-Turkmen conflict. Discovering the essence of the problem may help to understand what is going on over there. However, without exploring domestic and international barriers in front of the bilateral (on the disputed offshore fields) and multilateral (on the TCGP project) negotiations, none could find a viable solution to these entangled problems. Thus, areas of the domestic-international interaction of the problem are addressed through a comparative analysis of the two countries under the guidance of the ‘two-level games’ theory.

  • Acta Slavica Iaponica No 25
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 25, pp. 1-28 Articles Dilemmas of Europeanization: Eastern and Central Europe after the EU Enlargement* Grzegorz Ekiert The EU enlargement, completed in 2004, has been hailed as one of the most significant EU accomplishments. It has also been called the most effec- tive democracy promotion mechanism ever developed and applied. There is a lot of truth in such claims. The eight Central and East European countries that joined the EU have been the most successful examples of democratic con- solidation and transition to a market economy in the entire postcommunist region. This paper examines the impact of the EU accession process on demo- cratic consolidation and the consequences of EU membership on the quality of new democratic regimes in these countries. In the first part of the paper, I will review empirical evidence showing the diverging trajectories of post- communist transformations and the deepening split between two parts of the former Soviet bloc. In the second part, I will sketch five dilemmas faced by the new, postcommunist members of the EU. These dilemmas reveal the tension between the requirements of EU membership and continuation of postcommu- nist transformations aimed at improving the quality of democracy and secur- ing faster economic growth. THE EU ACCESSION AND DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION: COMPLEMENTARITY OR CONFLICTING LOGICS? Since its inception, the European integration process has aimed at strength- ening liberal democracy across Europe. Participation in emerging European institutions has been reserved for states with secure democratic systems and a consistent record of respect for political and civil rights. While this principle remained implicit in early EC documents, the presence of a strong democratic system in the candidate country soon became an explicit sine qua non condition for EC/EU accession.

Dominated by forbidding desert and once the abode of fierce tribesmen renowned for their slave trading, the country today is characterised by sharp contrasts, from the futuristic building projects of the capital to remote communities living among the sands. This two week trip is a comprehensive journey through one of the most mysterious places in Asia. Starting in Ashgabat we combine both ancient and modern, visiting monuments built by the previous ruler Turkmenbashi as well as the Parthian fortress of Nisa, before leaving the city behind and embarking on our journey to the mountains. We visit a local community in Nohur, reputed to be descended from the armies of Alexander, and then travel through the remarkable canyon landscapes of Yangikala to the pilgrimage site of Gozli Ata.

  • 16. Asırda Osmanlı Sahası Şâirleri Hakkında Yazılmış “Tezkire-I Mecâlis-I Şu’Arâ-Yı Rûm” Adlı Tanınmayan Bir Tezkire
    16. Asırda Osmanlı Sahası Şâirleri Hakkında Yazılmış “Tezkire-i Mecâlis-i Şu’arâ-yı Rûm” Adlı Tanınmayan Bir Tezkire Araş.Gör. İsrafil BABACAN∗ Özet: Klâsik Türk Edebiyatı hakkında bilgi veren en önemli kaynakla- rın başında şâir tezkireleri gelir. Bu eserler, hem şâirlerin biyografileri, hem de şiir değerlendirmeleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmamı- zın konusu olan Garîbî tezkiresi, onaltıncı asrın ilk yarısında kaleme alınmış olup, büyük bir ihtimalle, Osmanlı sahası Türk şâirleri hakkında yazılan ilk Türkçe şâir tezkiresidir ve bugüne kadar ülkemizde tanın- mamıştır. Eserde, onüçüncü asrın ikinci yarısı ile onaltıncı asrın ilk yarı- sı arasındaki şâirler söz konusu edilmektedir. Eserin müellifinin Anado- lu’dan Safevî ülkesine göç etmesi, her iki sahayı değerlendirebilecek bilgi ve donanıma sahip olması ve kendi dönemindeki Osmanlı şâirle- rini yakından tanıyan bir kişi olması gibi sebepler tezkirede, edebiyat tarihimizle ilgili bazı önemli tespitler yapılmasına neden olmuştur. Buna bağlı olarak eserde, başta Mevlânâ, Süleyman Çelebi, Necatî ve Revâ- nî olmak üzere edebiyat tarihimizde iz bırakmış şairler hakkında önemli tespitlere rastlanır. Ayrıca müellifin, daha çok Mevlevî çevrelerine yakın şâirleri bir araya topladığını iddia etmesi, eseri, Esrar Dede’nin Tezkire- i Şu’arâ-yı Mevleviyesi ile beraber Mevlevîlik ve Mevlevî şairler hak- kında önemli kaynaklardan biri haline getirir.

Asır Osmanlı Sahası Türk Edebiyatı Giriş Türk edebiyatının biyografik kaynaklarından şâir tezkireleri hakkında birçok akademik çalışma yapılmıştır1. Derli toplu bir edebiyat tarihinin yazılması için bu eserlerin tam metinlerinin akademik olarak ortaya konulması zorun- ludur. Bugüne kadar biyografik kaynaklar konusunda yapılan pek çok yayın sayesinde târihî-edebî açıdan kıymetli eserlerimiz ve bunların müelliflerinin hayat hikâyelerini gün yüzüne çıkarma imkânı doğmuştur.

The article describes the nature of the ongoing channel processes occurring in large damless water intakes from the Amudarya-Karakum, Karshi, and Amu – Bukhara channels located in its middle course. The characteristic features of the ongoing channel processes in the area of water intake are given. Based on the analysis of the current state of damless water intake, a method for improving its operation is recommended. To solve the problems of ensuring high-quality water intake and water supply, experimental studies were carried out to determine the angle of the bottom threshold in the inlet section of the head structure in the ABMCh. The analysis of the studies showed that for the threshold angles to the shore β = 30º, 45º 60º, an increase in the angle β from 30º to 60º increases the intensity of the artificial transverse circulation formed in the flow.
