  • Soner Cagaptay August 19Th, 2020 INTRODUCTION Soner Cagaptay Is the Beyer Family Fellow and Director of the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute
    Erdoğan’s Dream & the Return of the Ottoman Empire | Soner Cagaptay August 19th, 2020 INTRODUCTION Soner Cagaptay is the Beyer Family fellow and director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute. He has written extensively on U.S.-Turkish relations, Turkish domestic politics, and Turkish nationalism. A historian by training, Cagaptay wrote his doctoral dissertation at Yale University (2003) on Turkish nationalism. Dr. Cagaptay has taught courses at Yale, Princeton University, Georgetown University, & Smith College on the Middle East, Mediterranean, & Eastern Europe. His latest book is Erdoğan's Empire: Turkey and the Politics of the Middle East. FROM THE BOOK Nations that were once great empires, such as Turkey, often have an inflated sense of their heyday. This, of course, leads to a readiness to be inspired, or a vulnerability to be manipulated, by effective politicians who are able to embody and speak to this narrative. Understanding the importance of Turkey’s imperial past is essential to understanding modern Turkey. This is because a romantic view of the collapsed Ottoman Empire continues to shape the views held by Turkish citizens of their place in the world. Enter Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the country’s president, who has held sway since 2003. Erdoğan, who has won thirteen nationwide polls, consolidating power in Turkey over decades, is the country’s most consequential and powerful leader, probably since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who, in 1923, established modern Turkey out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War. The Romans measured time by saecula – the number of years that had to pass between the time of the occurrence of an incident and the death of all the people who were alive at the time of this 1 incident.
