Is Turkey in Europe, or the Middle East? Is this a question of geography, history, politics or culture? Turkey is one of the world’s most populous Muslim-majority countries (with some 70 million people), is considered to be a functioning parliamentary democracy, is a member of NATO and a candidate for entry into the European Union. The country is also not a post-colony, and the figures who established the Republic of Turkey in 1923 had been born and raised in the Ottoman Empire, which existed for some 500 years in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East and North Africa. This ten-week, three hours a week course explores the history, culture, economy and politics of Turkey from the late 19th century Ottoman Empire to the Republican present. |
