Administrative sciences include but are not limited to public administration, political science, economics, business management, finance and econometrics. In this book, there are eight (8) papers selected to go through a strict peer-reviewed process and published. The scope of these studies consists of public administration, sociology, political science, business management, economics, and finance. I would like to express my gratitude to the authors of the studies in the book. I would like to thank the book committee and members of reviewers for their kind assistances in reviewing the papers. They reviewed the papers from various topics including public policy, administrative culture, organizational culture in businesses, religion and civil society, social dimensions of COVID-19 pandemic, strategic management, green marketing,finance and social responsibility. The first Chapter is about an applied research discussing green marketing in terms of investigating the intention to purchase environmentally friendly products, and it presents a valuable contribution of the study of green marketing. The research was conducted with data collected from 660 students studying at six universities in Turkey. Chapter II is a descriptive study that analyzes civil society and democracy in Islamic thought in detail with its theoretical and historical dimensions. In this regard, the study examines the approaches to conceptualization of civil society in political thought of Islam and institutional structures in Islamic societies. It is an original study that discusses the relationship between religion and civil society. Chapter III is a study examining the job costing system. The focus of the study is to reveal the effects of the allocation bases which have a direct relation to the cost job. The author addresses the choice of the allocation base has a significant impact on calculation of unit costs and different choices of allocation bases would result in different calculations of indirect costs. Chapter IV is a descriptive study based on a detailed literature analysis. The focus of the study is to develop a clearer framework about the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in food industry. Thus, the study aims to provide a better understanding of CSR in the food industry by compiling the findings of previous studies from a marketing perspective. I Chapter V is a study that discusses the relationship between positive psychology and positive organizational behavior by focusing on the selected concepts that are considered as well reflective of positive organizational behavior. The authors of the study suggest that the study may provide further insights about the positive contributions of positive psychology approach to both individuals and organizations. Chapter VI is a theoretical study that presents an overview of the managerial impact of strategic management on organizational change. In the study, the author points out that the discussion on strategic organizational change is an important issue determining how to manage changes and the critical determinants of organizational success more effectively. Chapter VII is a theoretical evaluation about the effects of COVID- 19 on consumer behaviors and tries to understand various reactions of consumers within the context of the stimulus-response model designed by environmental and personal factors. The author states it has been observed that consumers give different responses to the same marketing and environmental stimuli. The final Chapter, Chapter VIII provides a framework about internal audit practices in OECD countries and examines Turkish internal audit system from a public administration perspective. Thus, internal audit system is evaluated by recent legal and institutional changes in public administration and the main problems of the system are described. This book may assist post-graduate teaching at universities and institutions of higher education on business management, public administration, finance and public policy. The book can also make the students familiar with the concepts and empirical base of administrative sciences.

When environmental problems reach the dimensions of ecological balance deterioration, global warming, water shortage and extinction, environmental problems have become important. Preventing environmental problems and improving the damage will improve the environment and will also provide positive benefits to human health.

  • Chapter Twenty-Six
    Chapter Twenty-six Religion and Religiosity after the Crusades The First Crusade was a great turning-point for western Christendom. An obvious consequence of the First Crusade was that many Catholics became aware that their lot in this earthly life left much to be desired: in Orthodox Christendom and in the Dar al-Islam people were better off than they were in Catholic Europe. This recognition led to material and economic improvements in western Europe and to a new kind of education, which in turn was followed by humanism and the Renaissance. By 1500 western Europe was a very different place than it had been four hundred years earlier, and considerably closer to modernity. This secular improvement will be the subject of the next chapter, but in this chapter we must take a close look at the religious upheaval with which it began. Militancy against Muslims was paralleled at home by a heightened religiosity. Ordinary Christians, who had long assumed that they would reach Heaven by following the lead of the Church and its clerical hierarchy, began taking upon themselves the responsibility for their souls‟ salvation. Thousands of Christians enlisted in new and demanding monastic orders, and thousands more left the Catholic church to join communities of devout but renegade Christians. Another aspect of the Christians‟ new religiosity was violence against the small Jewish communities in their midst, which until then had enjoyed relative security. Judaism was also infused with a new religious enthusiasm, as the mystical texts known as the Kabbalah made their appearance and quickly took their place alongside the Tanakh and the Talmud.

  • Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller
    Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller The era of Ottoman Rule, which began in the fourteenth century, is among the most controversial chapters of South-East European history. Over several stages of conquest, some of them several decades long, large parts of South-Eastern Europe were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire, or brought under its dominion. While the Ottomans had to surrender the territories north of the Danube and the Sava after the Peace Treaty of 1699, the decline of Ot- toman domination began only in the nineteenth century. Structures of imperial power which had been implemented in varying forms and intensity in different regions were replaced by emerging nation states in the nineteenth century. The development of national identities which accompanied this transformation was greatly determined by the new states distancing themselves from Ottoman rule, and consequently the image of "Turkish rule" has been a mainly negative one until the present. However, latest historical research has shown an increasingly differentiated image of this era of South-East European history. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Military and Political Developments 2.

The Bulgarian culture reached its climax and a showing example, that could be seen even today, is the image of sebastocrator Kaloyan and his wife Desislava in the Boyana church near Sofia. The Ottoman invasion ended the existence of the Medieval Bulgarian state—the famous Bulgarian historian Ivan Tyu- tyundzhiev defined it as follows: “The Ottoman invasion cut off the hand of the Boyana painter.” The article explores the struggle of the Bulgarians against the Turkish invasion from the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 15th century. The main points related to these crucial times are marked. Different hypotheses and theories about the stages of the conquering of the Bulgarian lands are dealt upon. KEYWORDS Bulgaria, Turkish Invasion, Medieval Ages, 14th th Century, 15 Century, Ottoman Empire The Ottoman invasion in Europe during the 14th century turned out to be fate- ful to the whole Balkan Peninsula.

  • How the Ottoman Empire Finally Ended the Byzantine Empire
    The Means of Destruction: How the Ottoman Empire Finally Ended the Byzantine Empire Benjamin Donovan Donovan 1 The year 1453 brought with its passing two of the most important historical events of the early modern period: the end of the 100 Years War, and the Conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. While both events had a drastic effect on Europe, the Ottoman’s conquest arguably had a greater effect in Eastern Europe, since the Ottoman Turks dominated the diplomatic efforts of the states there for the greater part of the next 200 years. However, no European had any reason to believe that the Ottomans would capture Constantinople, since they had tried two times previously and had failed in both of those attempts. Despite those failures, many factors contributed to significant changes within the Ottoman State that put them in a position to effectively assault the city, and thus establish themselves as an empire worthy of recognition by Europeans. The Ottomans conquered Constantinople and ended the Byzantine Empire by military conquests and diplomatic treaties by Mehmet II’s predecessors Bayezid I and Murat II. In addition, Mehmet II’s desire to prove himself an adequate leader plus western influences on Ottoman military technology and improvements on more traditional Ottoman tactics meant that the Byzantine Empire was brought to its knees. Bayezid I (r. 1389-1402) and his military actions had a profound impact on the later Ottoman conquest of Constantinople since he launched the first Ottoman siege of the city. Bayezid made an earnest attempt to conquer the city, instigating both an eight-year siege and an eight-year blockade of Constantinople in an attempt to bring the rebellious Emperor Manuel II back into submission.1 Although the Ottoman Empire under Bayezid did not have the proper means to capture the city his siege still has relevance because it instilled a general desire in succeeding Ottoman sultans to conquer the city and make good on Bayezid’s adoption of the title Sultan of Rum, or Rome and hence overlord of Byzantium.

  • The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922, Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922 The Ottoman Empire was one of the most important non-Western states to survive from medieval to modern times, and played a vital role in European and global history. It continues to affect the peoples of the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central and Western Europe to the present day. This new survey examines the major trends during the latter years of the empire; it pays attention to gender issues and to hotly de- bated topics such as the treatment of minorities. In this second edition, Donald Quataert has updated his lively and authoritative text, revised the bibliographies, and included brief bibliographies of major works on the Byzantine Empire and the post–Ottoman Middle East. This ac- cessible narrative is supported by maps, illustrations, and genealogical and chronological tables, which will be of help to students and non- specialists alike. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Middle East. DONALD QUATAERT is Professor of History at Binghamton University, State University of New York. He has published many books on Middle East and Ottoman history, including An Economic and Social History of the Ottoman Empire, 1300–1914 (1994). NEW APPROACHES TO EUROPEAN HISTORY Series editors WILLIAM BEIK Emory University T . C . W . BLANNING Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series, which provides concise but authoritative surveys of major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level and length accessible to advanced school students and undergraduates, each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of Eu- ropean history encounter daily: the series will embrace both some of the more “traditional” subjects of study, and those cultural and social issues to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are devoted.

  • Time in Early Modern Islam
    Time in Early Modern Islam The prophet Muhammad and the early Islamic community radically redefined the concept of time that they had inherited from earlier religions’ beliefs and practices. This new temporal system, based on a lunar calendar and era, was complex and required sophistication and accuracy. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, it was the Muslim astronomers of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, and not those of Europe, who were responsible for the major advances in mathematics, astronomy, and astrology. Stephen P. Blake’s fascinating study compares the Islamic concept of time, and its historical and cultural significance, across these three great empires. Each empire, while mindful of earlier models, created a new temporal system, fashioning a new solar calendar and era and a new round of rituals and ceremonies from the cultural resources at hand. The hysteria that accompanied the end of the first Islamic millennium in 1591 also created a unique collection of apocalyptic prophets and movements in each empire. This book contributes not only to our understanding of the Muslim temporal system, but also to our appreciation of the influence of Islamic science on the Western world. Dr. Stephen P. Blake is Professor Emeritus at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, and Senior Research Fellow, Center for Early Modern History, University of Minnesota. His books include Shahjahanabad: The Sovereign City in Mughal India, 1639–1739 (Cambridge University Press 2002), and Half the World: The Social Architecture of Safavid Isfahan, 1590–1722 (1999).
