| Kitap Tanıtımı | The grand narrative of The Young Turk Legacy and National Awakening is that of the essential continuity of the lateOttoman Empire with the Republic of Turkey that was founded in 1923. Erik Jan Zürcher shows that Kemal's'ideological toolkit', which included positivism, militarism, nationalism and a state-centred world view, was shared bymany other Young Turks. Authoritarian rule, a one-party state, a legal framework based on European principles,advanced European-style bureaucracy, financial administration, military and educational reforms and state-control ofIslam, can all be found in the late Ottoman Empire, as can policies of demographic engineering. The book focuses onthe attempts of the Young Turks to save their empire through forced modernization as well as on the attempts of theirKemalist successors to build a strong national state. The decade of almost continuous warfare, ethnic conflict andforced migration between 1911 and 1922 forms the background to these attempts and accordingly occupies a centralposition in this volume.This is a powerful history reflecting and contributing to the latest research from a leading historian of modernTurkey. It is essential for all readers interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, and for anunderstanding of a key player in the politics of the Middle East and Europe.Sayfa Sayısı: 250Baskı Yılı: 2010Dili: İngilizceYayınevi: I.B.
