Episode 27 is the first in a series on Turkish politics, drawing from several scholarly articles in New Left Review, one published shortly before, the other coming a year after the "small world war" in Nagorno-Karabakh, the topic that we intended to focus on from the outset.
As with most episodes, the focal topic exploded into a much broader discussion, beginning with a general reconstruction of Turkish political history from the Ottoman Empire to the Ataturk years. Needless to say, we're not experts in this history, but we leaned on our ol' pal Perry Anderson to guide us along to the heart of our research on the Erdogan period.
Readings for this series include:
- Turkey at the Crossroads by CIHAN TU?AL
- A Small World War by GEORGI DERLUGUIAN
- The New Old World by PERRY ANDERSON
The music you hear on After the End of History is provided by Jason King. This episode also features a sample of Fikret Kizilok.
