Karaosmanoğlu January 2010 This dissertation analyzes the Ottoman Empire’s relationship with European international society in the nineteenth century through the English School of International Relations Theory. By use of primary and secondary sources, this dissertation attempts to refine some of the historical arguments of the English School in reference to the expansion of European international society and the socialization of non-European states. By focusing on the Ottoman perspective, this dissertation presents a critical understanding of European international society and its expansion from a non-European perspective. Keywords: The English School of International Relations Theory, The Ottoman Empire, The non-European States, Socialization iii ÖZET OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU VE AVRUPA ULUSLARARASI TOPLUMU: KURAMSAL-TARİHSEL BİR ANALİZ Gökakın, Behice Özlem Doktora, Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Ali L. Karaosmanoğlu Ocak 2010 Bu tez, on dokuzuncu yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile Avrupa uluslararası toplumu ilişkilerini İngiliz Okulu Uluslararası İlişkiler Teorisi bakış açısıyla analiz etmektedir. Birincil ve ikincil kaynakları kullanarak, İngiliz Okulu teorisinin Avrupa uluslararası toplumunun genişlemesi ve Avrupalı olmayan devletlerle ilişkileri hakkında bazı tarihsel tezlerini toplumsallaşma açısından ele alarak geliştirmeye çalışmıştır. Bu tez Osmanlı bakış açısına odaklanarak Avrupa uluslararası toplumuna ve genişlemesine, Avrupa-dışı bir bakış açısından eleştirel bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: İngilizce Okulu Uluslararası İlişkiler Teorisi, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, Avrupalı Olmayan Devletler, Toplumsallaşma iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Ali L. Karaosmanoğlu, for his patience, understanding and confidence in me. Without his guidance, invaluable support and encouragement, this dissertation could not have been realized. His immense scope of knowledge, supportive comments and structural recommendations helped me in the theoretical interpretation of the historical facts and final revision of the dissertation. Prof. Karaosmanoğlu’s suggestions on the context and style of writing are beyond appreciation. Words are not adequate to express my gratitude. I also owe a great debt to the late Prof. Dr. Stanford Jay Shaw, my supervisor from 2001 to 2006. His enormous range of knowledge, along with his winning personality and his dedication to academic life deeply impressed and inspired me to choose my career and area of interest – the History of the Ottoman Empire. Prof. Shaw helped me to develop great insight into Ottoman history and historical methodology and objectivity. His unexpected loss has been a great shock to me and to all of the other members of the Bilkent community. I am grateful to his wife, Prof. Dr. Ezel Kural Shaw, for her continuous support and motivation throughout this study and during the most difficult days of my life. At the end of this long process of Ph.D. study, I am confident that the final version of this dissertation would have made him proud of me. v I am deeply thankful to Prof. Dr. Meliha Altunışık (International Relations Department – Middle East Technical University), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ersel Aydınlı, (International Relations Department – Bilkent University), Asst. Prof. Dr. Nur Bilge Criss (International Relations Department – Bilkent University) and Asst. Prof. Dr. Evgeni Radushev (History Department – Bilkent University), all of whom willingly examined my dissertation and whose constructive comments and recommendations encouraged me to continue with my academic research. I would like to express my gratitude to all of my professors at Bilkent University who guided me in my undergraduate and graduate studies. I am specifically grateful to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ersel Aydınlı, the Chairman of the Department of International Relations, for his continuous support and encouragement. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Norman Stone and Asst.

I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Ambassador Feridun Sinirlioğlu, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mehmet Ali Bayar, a member of the General Administrative Commission of the Democratic Party, and Oğuz Özbilgin, the Asssistant Secretary General of Bilkent University, who had been my superiors at the vi Office of the President between 1998 and 2000 for their support and encouragement in my transition from bureaucracy to academic life. I would like to express my special thanks to the administrative staff of the Faculty of Economic, Administrative and Social Sciences, the Department of International Relations and the Department of History and to the staff at Bilkent Library. I specifically would like to thank Kadriye Göksel, Müge Keller, Pınar Kılıçhan Şener, Yasemin Özbek, Sibel Ramazanoğlu, and Funda Yılmaz, for their continuous support and friendship. I would to like to thank my mother, Inci Gökakın, and father, Oktay Gökakın, without whose great encouragement and support this dissertation would not have been realized. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to my dearest mother for her courage and strength in the toughest times of her life. Her strength and attachment to life throughout her successive surgeries have been great sources of inspiration for me. They helped me to understand and appreciate the importance of life, family and loved ones. Her strength became my strength and made me stronger, as she never let me give up, no matter what challenges I faced. I would like to express my deepest thanks to my father for his support and guidance in reference to my professional and personal ideals and specifically in terms of my wish to embrace the academic life. I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude to my parents with mere words for their unconditional love and support throughout my life. I would like to express my thanks to all of my friends and family in Turkey and in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus who, in one way or another, have emotionally supported me throughout my years of study at Bilkent. Finally, I would like to thank the Bilkent University and the Department of International Relations for giving me this wonderful opportunity. vii

    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 4 A Dialogue of Sources: Greek Bourgeois Women and Material Culture in the Long 18th Century Artemis Yagou The Context In the Ottoman-dominated Europe of the Early Modern period (17th to 19th centuries), certain non-Muslim populations, especially the Christian elites, defined their social status and identity at the intersection of East and West. The westernization of southeastern Europe proceeded not just through the spread of Enlightenment ideas and the influence of the French Revolution, but also through changes in visual culture brought about by western influence on notions of luxury and fashion. This approach allows a closer appreciation of the interactions between traditional culture, political thought, and social change in the context of the modernization or “Europeanization” of this part of Europe.1 The role of the “conquering Balkan Orthodox merchant” in these processes has been duly emphasized.2 The Balkan Orthodox merchant represented the main vehicle of interaction and interpenetration between the Ottoman realm and the West, bringing the Balkans closer to Europe than ever before.3 The gradual expansion of Greek merchants beyond local trade and their penetra- tion into export markets is the most characteristic event of the 18th century in Ottoman-dominated Greece.4 This was triggered by political developments, more specifically the treaty of Küçük Kaynarca in 1774, the opening of the Black 1 LuxFaSS Research Project, http://luxfass.nec.ro, [accessed 30 May 2017]. 2 Troian Stoianovich. “The Conquering Balkan Orthodox Merchant,” The Journal of Economic History 20 (1960): 234–313. 3 Fatma Müge Göçek, East Encounters West: France and the Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century (New York, 1987); Vladislav Lilić, “The Conquering Balkan Orthodox Merchant, by Traian Stoianovich.

A saintly saying warns the faithful against words that begin with this letter by drawing attention to the sense of heavy responsibility and perils of accountability attached to their meanings. For example, waqf (religious endowment), waṣāyah (will/trusteeship), wirāthah (inheritance), wakālah (legal representation), wadīah (entrustment), wizārah (ministry), are words one must approach with utmost care when using them in his/her daily life. It is even recommended that one should refrain from seeking a career in these professions. There is, however, even more to say about the mystery of the wāw. 1 According to the discipline of ebced,0F the numerical value of this letter is 6 and the pair of two wāws (66) are equal to the words Allah and Lale (tulip) in its arithmetical sense.

  • Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle
    Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family.

He was constantly impressed with the fact that all too little attention has been paid hither­ to to the subject even by scholars of the Balkan nations, not to speak of non-Slavic historians; consequently, much preliminary pioneering work had to be done. Much yet remains to be accomplished; but the restricted scope of this undertaking as well as the paucity of source material per­ taining to the early history of the Balkan peninsula com­ bined to make the treatment actually adopted expedient. In gathering his material, the author spent some time during the summer of 1931 in the Balkans.

Ayrıca, isyancılarla saray arasındaki meşruiyet mücadelesi, çalışmamızın bir diğer konu başlığıdır.
