Abstract the RUSSIAN ADVANCE in CENTRAL ASIA and the BRITISH RESPONSE 1834 - 1885 by Gali Oda Tealakh Supervisor Dr Abstract THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE IN CENTRAL ASIA AND THE BRITISH RESPONSE 1834 - 1885 by Gali Oda Tealakh Supervisor Dr. David W. Sweet This thesis is a study of Russia's expansion at the expense of the Khanates of Central Asia in the nineteenth century, beginning with the early exploratory missions of the 1 830s and 1 840s, continuing with the conquest of Kokand and Bukhara in the 1860s, the subjection of Khiva in 1873, and concluding with the fall of Mery in 1884. The threat to British interests represented by this expansion is examined, including a study of Russian projects for the invasion of India, and the failure of the British to react more decisively than they did is explained: only when the Russian advance threatened the continuation of Afghanistan as a buffer state did the British exert their influence to halt the Russian advance. The motives and procedures of Russia's expansion in the region are examined, specifically through the case history of the construction of the Central Asian railroad, and more generally in the policy of Russification upon which the Russians embarked even before their conquest was complete. An examination of the interaction of economic, political and military motives underlying the Russian expansion leads to the conclusion that, although its long-term economic, social, and cultural consequences for Central Asia were enormous, the more immediate logic purpose of the Russian conquests was military, administrative, and political.

Throughout her advance in the region, which extends from the steppe zone in the north to the borders of Afghanistan and Persia in the south, Russia's expansion in all its phases was justified by official Russian statements as an attempt to bring the benefits of order and civilization to a turbulent and barbarous region. In this study I shall attempt to establish the political and strategic motives behind these justifications, and I shall consider the Anglo-Russian rivahy as one of the major influences upon the political behaviour of both great empires, which shaped their relation in Asia, and indeed more generally, throughout the nineteenth century. I shall also attempt to give due weight to the economic and cultural implications of the Russian annexations in Central Asia. I want to thank my supervisor Dr. David W. Sweet for his unfailing advice, encouragement, and sincere efforts throughout my work on this topic. I am obliged to him for his continuous attention, originality, and recommendations. My thanks are also due to Dr. John Slatter, Chairman of the Russian Department, for his remarks especially on translation and quotations from Russian sources. I am thankful as well to Mr. R. T. B. Langhorne, St. John's College, University of Cambridge, for his kindness during my stay at Cambridge University during the winter of 1988. During the years of study I was so fortunate to be inspired by distinguished statesmen and intellectuals from my country. At the top of my list comes His Highness Khalifah Bin Hamad Al-Thani The Amir of The State of Qatar, for his care and encour- agement; my due recognition to his Lordship my father-in-law Mr. Jom'a Hammad, member of the Upper Chamber of the Jordanian Parliament, and first Secretary General of the National Union, for his fatherly care and affection, his sincere counsel and compassionate encouragement were indispensable; to His Excellency Mr. Kamil el- Sharif, Minister of the Religious Affairs, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for his yin interest in the subject and goodwill; to Mr. MahmUd el-Sharif, publisher of ad-Dustur Daily Newspaper and the Jerusalem Star, for his warm and sincere thoughtfulness and attention; to His Excellency Mr. 'Isa al-Kauwari, Minister of Information of the State of Qatar, for his earnest consideration; and to Professor Abbas Qalidar for his suggestion and advice. Now the boat is gently floating over high seas and the sail is full of germane breeze, it is time to give due respect and thanks to those who gave me the early inspiration to start from rough shores. My thanks due to Professor Barbara Jelavich, for early attention and encouragement; pertinent gratitude as well to Professor Charles Jelavich, both from the Department of History, Indiana University. My thanks are due as well to Miss Ann Foley, a sincere and thoughtful friend. Also, I am grateful to the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals of the Universities of the United Kingdom; to Mrs. J. Butterfield, and to Mr. Miles Roddis; to Dr. V. Armitage, Dean of the Colleges, University of Durham; and to Mr. John R. White. During those ardent years of solitary work I had a never-ending source of inspiration that made them tolerable and fruitful continuously flowing from those to whom I am most obliged: my father, who through heavenly love, stamina, patience, and boundless energy gave me, my brothers, and sisters the needed education with great sacrifice; to my family: my beloved wife and my innocent sons, whom I believe suffered most during my absence and would be most cheerful to share this modest achievement with me; I am most obliged to members of my family who generously financed my stay in the United Kingdom insisting not to be singled out from other members of the family nor to be mentioned by name. I would like to extend my gratitude to those authors, translators, and editors whose books and articles were beneficial for me during the years of preparing this thesis. My deep appreciation to Ms. Lesley Forbes, and to all the personnel of the Library of the University of Durham, the inter-library loan desk and the circulation desk, who through friendly concern and commitment have a hand in every success.

Archaeological tourism consists of two main activities: visits to archaeological excavation sites and participation in the studies undertaken there. The target group of archaeological tourism includes intellectuals and various people having an interest in archaeology. Any politician, bank employee, doctor, artist or other professional or working person can now spend their vacation at the archaeological excavation site of which they’ve dreamed. The development of this tourism focus area presents a novel product to the tourism economy and increases innovation in archaeology. Three main paths must be followed in order to successfully offer an archaeological tourism product: research, conservation and promotion.

ABDULLAH HAN ÖZELİNDE ŞEYBANÎ HANLIĞINDA ŞEHZADELİK KURUMU Gülay KARADAĞ ÇINAR** ÖZET Toplumların devlet olma sürecinde güçlü, savaşçı, ileri görüşlü, bilgin kısacası her bakımdan maharetli bir liderin varlığı önemlidir. En eski tarihlerden itibaren Türk devlet anlayışında lider olacak kişiye Tanrı’nın bazı nitelikler bahşettiği ve bu niteliklerin bebeklik çağından itibaren fark edilebildiği inancı hakimdir. Bu nitelikler bireyin yetiştirilme sürecinde eğitimin devreye girmesiyle daha da güçlendirilmektedir. Aynı anlayışın 1500 yılında Maveraünnehir bölgesinde kurulan “Şeybanî Hanlığı” devletinde de hakim olduğunu görmekteyiz. Buradan hareketle mevcut çalışmada devletin Muhammed Şeybanî Han’dan sonra en güçlü lideri olarak kabul edilen II. Abdullah Han’ın nezdinde Şeybanî hanedan üyelerinin çocukluk yılları, eğitim süreci ve yönetici kisvesiyle geleceğe nasıl hazırlandıkları incelenecek ve bu vesileyle 16. yüzyıl Türkistan idarecilerinin liderlik özellikleri tartışılacaktır. Yapılan incelemeler neticesinde doğrudan bu konuyu ele alan herhangi bir çalışmaya tesadüf edilmemiştir. Bu noktada Şeybanî şehzadelerine mahsus makamı tasvirde Şeybanîler ve Astrahanîler devri yerli vakayinamelerden büyük oranda istifade edilmiştir.

  • Trade Relations Between Bukhara and Yarkend Khanates in the 16 - Earlier 17 Centuries
    Trade relations between Bukhara and Yarkend Khanates in the 16 - earlier 17 centuries G. Sultonova The 16 – earlier 17 centuries in the history of the Central Asia are notable for active ethno- demographic processes, confrontation between the two major trends of Islam and changes in ancient international trade routes. The factors above account for researchers’ interest in the reviewed period and cause lively discussions. In particular, one of the key and debatable questions is the history of relations between Central Asian states in the 16 – earlier 17 centuries. Two approaches are presently applied in scientific-research literature to examine the issue. Thus, researchers N.Steensgaard, S.Adshead, M.Rossabi, F.Wood, M. Haidar1 take the view that in the period under consideration inter- state relations of the Central Asia were in crisis. Another group of historians – O. Chekhovich, R.Mukminova, G.Nizametdinov, S.Levi, M. Alam, J.Gommans, S.Dale2 refrain from using a definition “crisis” as to the reviewed period and, instead, define it as a stage of significant events in the history of the region. Note the author shares the last point of view.3 Most regress adherents of the Central Asian region tend to associate the phenomenon with the discovery of new sea routes that connected Europe and Asia. Quoting a report of Anthony Jenkinson who visited Bukhara in 1558,4 as well as materials of local historical annals, another group of researchers, among other reasons, referred to the destabilization of political life during the later Middle Ages that led to the weakening of trade-economic relations in the region.

  • Beginnings to AD 2000: a Comprehensive Chronology of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran
    The Beginnings Beginnings to AD 2000: A Comprehensive Chronology of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran by Iraj Bashiri copyright 2001 The Beginnings Ancient beliefs in the region divide humanity's passage on earth into three cosmic, myhtic, and historical periods. Of the three, of course, only the third or the historical period is real. The other two have cosmological and mytheological values that enhance our understanding of the present-day peoples of the region. One day elemnets of the mythic period might prove to be real but for that we need more solid documentation than is available at the present. For the purposes of this comprehensive chronology of the region, the cosmic and mythic periods are presented in the sequential order preserved in ancient chronologies. No attempt is made at correlating those eras in any form with historical or real time. The Cosmic and Mythic Eras The initial 3000-year battle between the forces of Ahura Mazda (Good) and Angra Mainyu (Evil) leads to the defeat of the latter. The second cycle of 3000 years begins with Ahura Mazda's creation of the cosmic world, i.e., the creation of the sky, water, earth, plants, the sacred white bull, and the cosmic man (Gayomart). Truth, symbolized as fire, permeates Ahura Mazda's kingdom. file:///Volumes/BASHIRISCOM/CHRON/CosMyth.html (1 of 6)10/2/08 1:00 PM The Beginnings Creation continues with Ahura Mazda's creation of the Amesha Spentas or Holy Immortals. As Vice-Regents, the immortals serve as "governors" or administrators of the various realms of Ahura Mazda's Kingdom.
