  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

    Chapter 5 Tales of Viziers and Wine: Interpreting Early Ottoman Narratives of State Centralization Dimitri Kastritsis The dominant paradigm of Ottoman state-building is one of progressive cen- tralization and institutionalization, from the late fourteenth to the mid- sixteenth century ce. This paradigm was first developed by Paul Wittek in the 1930s, and later refined by Halil İnalcık and others.1 According to Wittek’s well- known thesis, the Ottoman state-building venture was at first an egalitarian affair. Frontiersmen with a more or less tribal and nomadic background, pos- sessing a deep religious devotion embodied by holy men, carried out religious- ly motivated raids (ġazā) into Christian territory. By means of such activity, they were able to push the frontiers of Islam from the Anatolian borders of Byzantium to the Danube and Adriatic. But as the borders of their principality grew and its frontier advanced into Europe, a hinterland developed, in which the need for central state institutions became apparent. Such institutions were modelled on those already present in other Islamic states. They included shariʿa courts, taxation based on population surveys, and employment of slaves in the army and state administration. Since at first the Ottoman princi- pality consisted of territory newly conquered for Islam, in order to build such institutions, there was a need for scholars (ulema, Ar. ʿulamāʾ) imported from outside the Ottoman borders. Members of this new class (distinct from the holy men already mentioned) entered the Ottoman domains from rival Mus- lim principalities to the east. At first they mainly came from the neighboring Turkish emirates (beyliks) of Anatolia.

  • TEB Aegean Corporate Center IZMIR TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER
    TEB Aegean Corporate Center IZMIR TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER Classified as « first-category historical monument », the building standing at Cumhuriyet Bulvarı 66, in Alsancak district, was designed in 1928 by the Istanbulite Levantine Italian architect Giulio Mongeri, to serve as a branch of Banca Commerciale Italiana (BCI). After keeping this function between 1928 and 1979, the building suffered a wear and tear time until its purchase in 1988 by Türk Ekonomi Bankası (TEB). TEB was founded in 1927 by private investors as a regional bank in İzmit under the name of Kocaeli Bankası. After it was purchased by the Çolakoğlu Group in 1982, it changed its name to TEB and became recognized a solid and prudent bank as well as a leader in foreign business. In March 2005, TEB signed a joint venture agreement with BNP Paribas. And February 2011 saw a memorable operational achievement in the Turkish banking sector with the merger of TEB with Fortis Bank AŞ, the Turkish arm of Belgian Fortis Banking Group, which had joined BNP Paribas two years before. Main entrance at Cumhuriyet Bulvarı 66, Izmir TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER After the First World War and as a leading force in Italy’s economic expansion, BCI extended its own operations to international markets focusing on the South-East of Europe and East Mediterranean area. Hence the Istanbul branch was opened in 1919 and the Izmir one in 1928. By then the young Turkish Republic, founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in 1923, planned Izmir, the former Smyrna, as a trade and fair city. Moreover Izmir was already the second largest city of Turkey in industrial terms and a leading export port of traditional goods (fig, raisin, tobacco) thanks to its time honored historic background as a wealthy BCI façade and main entrance, in 1935 and cosmopolitan commercial center nestled around one of the most important ports of not only Anatolia but also the entire Eastern Mediterranean region since the mid-18th century.
