Abdullah Çakmak The city of Jerusalem, which is considered sacred by Muslims, Christians and Jews, dates back to BC. It has an ancient history dating back to the 4000s. The dominance of states belonging to these religions in Jerusalem for different periods paved the way for the formation of holy places belonging to three religions in the city.
Various zoning activities carried out by the state in Jerusalem, which came under Ottoman rule in 1517, increased the quality of life of the city. One of the breaking points for Jerusalem in this period of domination that lasted until 1917 was the process that started with the French occupation of Egypt in 1798 and continued until the end of the Kavalalı Mehmed Ali Pasha rebellion in 1841. The emergence of the troubles in different parts of the state, such as the Wahhabi and Greek rebellions, in this time period, caused Jerusalem to be indirectly affected by these events, since it hosted different nations together.
In this study, which deals with the policy of the Ottoman Empire in Jerusalem between 1798-1841, the political events and administrative changes, the prominent activities in the approach of the state to Muslims, the rights granted by the state to non-Muslims and the ways of communication of the people with the state are examined.

Salih Yılmaz In this book, 47 analyzes published in Russian on TRT Russian channel in 2018 were brought together and presented in Turkish. In these analyzes, economic and military developments, especially the political events that developed between Turkey and Russia throughout 2018, were interpreted. In this sense, ideas and opinions that will guide the relations between the two countries have been discussed.
This work is a continuation of the book that previously dealt with the developing relations between Russia and Turkey between the years 2016-2017. In this work, the events that developed between the two countries in 2018 were written in Turkish and Russian in the form of analyzes. In order to understand these works, “Is a Turkey-Russia Eurasian Pact Possible?” We recommend that you also read our work.
The military-technological cooperation between Russia and Turkey, apart from the developing economy in Syria, marks a new era for NATO member Turkey as well as for other members. We should say that Turkey, which could not get enough support from its NATO allies in this state, is making efforts to ensure stability in its region, especially its own security, in cooperation with Russia. As long as the harsh policies of the USA against Turkey continue, this cooperation seems to develop further. Considering NATO's concerns regarding this cooperation, it may be possible to establish a new security-based bloc in Eurasia in the future. This process is under the initiative of NATO-USA on the one hand and Turkey on the other.
Turkey's purchase of the S400 air defense system indicates a significant change and opposition not only for Turkey but also for the whole world, which has become dependent on the USA. We hope that such works will be useful in order for these two states and societies to better understand each other.

We have been hearing for a long time: Turkey will be among the top 10 economies in the world. This; a challenging target! How will that be? The main argument of this book is this: If this country wants to enter the top 10, it must increase its human capital; By realizing the Human Development Index (HDI) and Good Governance criteria, education, justice, business ethics, social reconciliation, etc. He should rise by treating himself in matters.
Where do you think we are in HDI?
We, as the young writers of Istanbul Medeniyet University, embarked on a struggle; We did this project to show that young people can enter the system earlier and vaccinate the youth when they are given “result-oriented-not memorized-benefit-generating” training and responsibility.
This book, which chooses the 15-45 age range as its main target audience; does not explore space, but emphasizes the relentless importance of space!
Technological transformation from the perspective of International Relations, soft power analysis, popular culture, global reports, digital media, economic reflections and mental health are the main topics of the book.

Ömer Türker One of the most important results of the transformation of human conceptions produced in the classical world in the modern period is that people change their expectations and hopes about themselves. This situation both affected the hierarchy of questions and required a new set of questions to be asked in the field of ethics, as in many other fields. In this context, especially in the last half century, the reason for human morality has become questionable and some movements have begun to evaluate morality as a purely conscientious condition.
As long as morality is understood as a phenomenon completely related to the conscience of the individual, the relationship between individuals or the outward aspect of morality should be considered as a problem of politics rather than morality. In this case, a sanction can be mentioned as long as the situations to be considered as immoral fall into the field of law. However, since this result is essentially an extension or inevitable result of a certain conception of man and society, it requires to be considered in terms of different conceptions of man and society. In the book in your hand, you will find the texts of the conferences held in the "Conversations on Moral Sanction" series held within the Islamic Moral Thought Project in 2015 in order to question the relationship between morality and sanction.

In this respect, the seas and sea routes have become an important element of geopolitical competition.
The Mediterranean is a sea of ​​increasing geopolitical and geostrategic importance. It is one of the most important crossroads of international trade. The Mediterranean, which connects the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, is the focal point of the maritime transport lines stretching to the Indian Ocean and Far East countries via the Suez Canal on the one hand, and to the Atlantic and North and South American countries via the Strait of Gibraltar on the other hand.
The Mediterranean's position in terms of energy is increasing the power race and geoeconomic competition on the world scale over the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean gives a new dimension and a new orientation to Euro-Atlantic security, and due to its geopolitical position, it directly affects the security dynamics of European, Middle Eastern, North African and Far Eastern countries.
In our country, the necessity of preparing a multidimensional and rich research work on the Mediterranean and presenting it to the service of science has emerged.
The work named Mediterranean Geopolitics has been prepared with the idea of ​​clarifying current issues related to the Mediterranean, determining new orientations and approaches for the future, and adding depth and richness to the field of science.

Bülent Karaatlı The Middle East and North Africa region, which has attracted the attention of the whole world throughout history, has started to take place as one of the most discussed agenda items in the international arena with the start of the process called "Arab Spring". The events in North Africa and the Middle East, known as the "Arab Spring", started in Tunisia and subsequently spread to Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Syria and Kuwait. Events have evolved in a different direction in each country as a result of the peculiarities of countries such as social culture, political background, experience and institutional structure, and the process has been experienced differently in each country.
In Tunisia, as a result of events where less violence and death were experienced compared to other countries, President Ben Ali had to leave the administration, a temporary government was established, the Constituent Assembly elections were held, and these elections went down in history as the first free and fair elections held in the countries involved in this process. The Constitutional Commission, which was established under the leadership of the Constituent Assembly, completed the Constitution that appeals to all segments of the country and was prepared by taking lessons from past experiences. Subsequently, Tunisia chose the new Prime Minister and President according to this constitution, setting an example for the countries in the region and showing its difference from other countries.
The reforms made as a result of mutual relations with the Ottomans and France in the historical process, and the features such as an educated and strong middle class, unique social and political culture, experience and institutional structure have had a great impact on Tunisia's gaining all this difference and success.

While explaining these relations, it is necessary to try to grasp the role played by history, perceptions and value judgments, and to approach the explanations in which impersonal forces such as structure and state dominate from a human perspective.

In an international order dominated by hostility, distrust and negative stereotypes, dialogues across borders are a positive response. The conflict between Greece and Turkey is considered one of the most complex conflicts in Europe, and possibly beyond. For decades, the bilateral strife has repeatedly led insecurity as well as periodic violence and war. Also, in this part of the world, the past weighs heavily on the present. What happened long ago determines what happens today and may stand in the way of a peaceful future, or even in imagining one. Conflicts bedevil the bilateral relationship on multiple fronts. As in other cross-border rivalries, we are witnesses to dynamic developments as new contentious issues have emerged to complicate the agenda.
With an eye on what the two sides can do together; this book presents original research co-written by at least one Greek and one Turkish scholar with the objective to provide policy recommendations that could help in bridging the gaps to enhance Greek-Turkish dialogue and cooperation.

Kemal GÖRMEZ Ecological problems, which a sage defined as "nature's revenge on humankind", are among the main problems faced by human beings today.
Environmental problems, which have become one of the problems threatening humanity since the second half of the 20th century, have generally become felt as a result of the Industrial Revolution, although its roots date back to ancient times. Since then, it has grown to great sizes. Despite the measures developed in recent years, many people are not hopeful for the future yet. Discussions and researches on this problem, which was perceived only as pollution in the past and which covers all areas of social life, are increasingly intensifying.
This book was written mainly to meet students' resource needs on ecology and environmental problems.

Abdürreşit Celil Karluk According to Fei Xiaotong, Chineseness is actually like a snowball. It is the process of social and cultural assimilation of non-Chinese foreigners within its political borders, which grows by clinging to the foreigners around it, with Huaxia at its core. The Chinese, who keep the Chineseness alive, have always kept themselves separate and superior to the others.
China, sociologically, can be generally divided into cultural China and political China. Cultural China is a homogeneous reality in which all the elements that make up Chineseness are completely dominated, and there is essentially no difference. Political China, on the other hand, is the regions inhabited by non-Chinese peoples who are later included in China's hegemony, who are dependent or indirectly governed by China. In Chinese history, cultural China always wants to swallow political China, and for this, it develops a strategy and implements it persistently. When political China becomes cultural China, a political China is reconstructed. Political China was often built by foreigners who dominated China.
This study deals with Chineseness and the strategies applied in the process of governing with the others in the order in which Chinese is dominant, and the social and cultural integration processes of non-Chinese peoples in Chineseness from a sociological perspective. Related topics covered; It will help to understand the inhumane practices of the CCP power in East Turkestan, Tibet and Hong Kong, as well as the Chineseization of religions, the prohibition of foreign resources in educational institutions, and Chinese-specific situations such as debt diplomacy and credit trapping.

Hüsmen Akdeniz Turkish-American relations have a history approaching a quarter of a millennium. The history of bilateral relations covers a period from a collapsed great power and a rising great power, in other words “the Phoenix to the descent”, and the American eagle taking off to take the place of the Roman Empire, to the present day. For this reason, the most important feature of relations is the phenomenon of inequality in power.
On the one hand, this book proposes a statistical analysis-supported method for strategies and policies to be applied in relationships in different power categories, and presents a model to IR professionals and students. Thus, it is to shed light on the strategies and policies that unequal powers can implement against each other.
On the other hand, the book hopes to be useful to all readers by reminding the brief history of the events, facts, crises, strategies and policies implemented in Turkish-American relations from the first establishment of diplomatic relations to the present, and by giving clues about the analysis of bilateral relations, which gradually turned into a chess game.
Prof. dr. In the words of Şükrü Sina Gürel, the book aims not only to evaluate Turkish-American relations on the basis of "power and interest", but also to present a theoretical analysis of the relationship model between a "global dominant power" and a "middle power country".

Orhan Battır Migration movements with increasing speed and visibility in the modern period; While it was a socio-demographic phenomenon at the action level, it was first included in the political field and then securitized and became a high policy issue. In the current century, migration has already become one of the top priorities of the international community's agenda, which directly affects the functioning of the international system and shapes the interaction between system actors. It is seen that the academic interest in the issue of migration has increased gradually due to the fact that it has come to the fore with its problematic aspects in recent years.
This work deals with the fact that people leave their places of residence and settle in other places, albeit for very different reasons, as a state of nature in the historical process. Therefore, in the work; There are evaluations that seeing the phenomenon of immigration as a "crime" that must be prevented and accordingly looking at immigrants as "criminal" consists of a fundamental illusion. Of course, while doing this, care is taken not to make the mistake of ignoring or ignoring problems based on immigration.

For all countries using this waterway, the Aegean Sea maintains its geopolitical and geostrategic importance.

Ömer Lütfi Taşcıoğlu La Première Guerre mondiale était une compétition pour diviser le pillage des terres ottomanes entre les grandes puissances de l'époque. Les attaques impérialistes sont venues des deux côtés. La défense de l’État (ottoman) sur le front oriental, n’a rien de différent de sa défense sur la péninsule de Gallipoli à l’ouest, en termes de sécurité de tous les peuples du pays.
Ensuite, le gouvernement n'a pas eu d'autre choix que de mettre en pratique la pratique de la déportation pour éviter la rébellion, à savoir: la trahison arménienne, qui est aujourd'hui généralement symbolisé par la date du 24 avril 1915, qui devient également une veille du "débarquement britannique à Gallipoli".
Le décret de réinstallation émis par le gouvernement ottoman visait à empêcher les résidents locaux de soutenir, de renforcer et d'inciter les mouvements arméniens agressifs, qui se battaient volontiers pour l'armée adversaire (russe) contre leur propre pays, étant eux-mêmes et aux citoyens de l'Empire ottoman. En plus de cela, sous la forme de gangs armés organisés, ils assassinaient des innocents turcs et / ou musulmans de la région.
Cette décision de réinstallation temporaire a également résolu d'autres problèmes au sein des lignes de communication logistique de l'armée et des autres lignes d'approvisionnement, qui ont été empêchés par ces gangs.
Des gangs arméniens poignardaient l'armée ottomane dans le dos, et des mutinés arméniens causaient encore d'autres maux tels que torturer et massacrer honteusement des femmes, des personnes âgées et des enfants dans les maisons turco-musulmanes laissées par les jeunes de la maison, ceux qui étaient alors occupés à mener des batailles féroces sur les lignes de front d'une guerre féroce, ce que ces gangs faisaient était exactement un "nettoyage ethnique", que dans ces circonstances, la décision de l'État était une précaution obligatoire de la situation de guerre stratégique.

Ömer Lütfi Taşcıoğlu La Primera Guerra Mundial fue una competición de repartimiento el saqueo de tierras otomanas entre las grandes potencias de la época. Los asaltos imperialistas venían por ambos lados. La defensa del Estado (Otomano) en el 'frente oriental' no era nada diferente de su defensa en la Península de Gallipoli en el occidente, en términos de la seguridad de todos los pueblos del país.
Entonces el gobierno no tenía más remedio que poner en vigor la práctica de deportación para evitar la rebelión, i.e: la traición, armenia, la que hoy suele ser simbolizada por la fecha del 24 de abril de 1915, el que también pasa a ser un día antes del 'desembarco británico en Gallipoli'.
El decreto de reubicación emitido por el Gobierno Otomano tenía la intención de impedir a los residentes locales apoyar, reforzar e instigar a los agresivos movimientos armenios, quienes voluntariamente estaban luchando por el ejército adversario (ruso) en contra a su propio país, siendo ellos mismos ya los ciudadanos del Imperio Otomano. Además de esto, en forma de unas bandas armadas que organizaban, estaban asesinando a las inocentes gentes turcas y/o musulmanas de la zona.
Esta decisión de recolocación temporaria resolvió también unos otros problemas dentro de las líneas de comunicación logísticas del ejército y las otras líneas de suministro, las que se impedían por éstas bandas.
Las pandillas armenias estaban apuñalando al ejército otomano por la espalda y los mutinos armenios causaban aun otros males como que torturaban y masacraban vergonzosamente a las mujeres, a los ancianos y a los niños en las casas turcas/musulmanes dejadas atras por los jóvenes de la casa, quienes entonces estaban ocupados luchando feroces batallas en las líneas del frente de una feroz guerra, lo que hacian aquellas bandas era exactamente una “limpieza étnica”, que en estas circunstancias, la decisión del estado era una precaución obligatoria del la situación estratégica bélica.

Şenol Korkut This book examines the political philosophy of the Second Muallim Fârâbî in terms of its origins and originality.
Fârâbî, who built the political science and philosophy in Islamic thought as a science, also pursued a series of alternative political theories to the political thought of the Athenian-oriented Greek philosophy. Al-Farabi, who built a unique political philosophy between the political elements brought by the revelation of Islam and the ancient Greek political philosophy, on the one hand brought new problem areas to political philosophy, on the other hand, he brought a new horizon to Islamic thought with the doctrine of virtuous and virtuous cities. It is possible to see the virtuous and immoral perspectives developed by the philosopher on the ground of philosophy, nation and medina, in all the problem groups he examines about political philosophy. In this book, on the one hand, virtuous philosophy, virtuous religion and the idealized philosophical adventure of the virtuous city are examined, on the other hand, the story of corrupt philosophy, corrupt religions and unvirtuous cities in the philosophical filter of the Second Teacher is discussed.

This shows that technology has permeated every aspect of life.
As a result of the rapid increase in the use of technology, individuals, business world and government institutions store or transfer their critical intelligence, economic and personal information through these technology tools. It is becoming more and more impossible for people to participate or contribute to business life without smartphone technologies. Social media applications have now become a very important information strategy product within the scope of cheap, flexible, effortless and crypto features. However, with the development of technology, security concerns have emerged in information systems depending on globalization. From the theft of personal data to the use of the Internet and social media as a propaganda tool by terrorist organizations, negative aspects that affect individuals and states have emerged.
In this book, different topics such as cyber security, social media, nuclear and military technology, terrorism and technology relationship, artificial intelligence technologies, urban security and technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technologies, border security and technology are discussed and basically the relationship between technology and security. In this context, how technological progress will change security paradigms in the future and how it will affect individuals and states has been revealed.

Şaban Halis Çalış Despite its standing in world politics, there is still a paucity of academic publications concerning Turkish foreign policy. In addition, most of the existing publications prefer only to narrate it historically.
This book takes a step back and critically analyses the factors and actors which affect Turkish foreign policy within a theoretical and conceptual framework as well as a historical setting covering the Kemalist period in particular. In addition, this book presents its subject matter from a broader and longer perspective, taking together both material and ideational phenomena, all the while focussing on the ideas, ideologies and norms which are ignored by many analysts of Turkish politics.
Turkish foreign policy of the past and even up to the present appears to be a product of certain “foundations” that were laid down by the Kemalist leadership and cadres after the establishment of the Turkish Republic. However, this book reviews these foundations comparatively with the Ottoman modernisation period including as well certain detailed references to the classical age of the Empire in order to demonstrate that there are not so much epistemological ruptures between past and present in a broader sense.

• What do international students think about it?
This book focuses on the perspective of the international students:
• What are the motivations for them for choosing Japan?
• What are their career goals?
• How those goals are being evaluated?
• How do they perceive the Japanese government's MEXT scholarship project?

Nuri Salık The Syrian crisis, which broke out in March 2011 and almost caused a global earthquake, has been one of the most pressing issues in Turkish foreign policy for the past 10 years. The Syria policy that Turkey followed during the Arab Spring period caused great debates both at home and abroad from the first day and increased academic interest in Turkey-Syria relations. However, despite this increasing interest recently, it is observed that studies examining the relations between the two countries mostly focus on current developments and miss the historical dynamics of Turkey's Syria policy. This book sheds light on the period of 1960-1980, which has not been discussed in detail in the literature on Turkey-Syria relations until now. In the book, Turkey's policy towards its neighbor Syria in the 1960s and 1970s, when it sought new foreign policy, is analyzed based on domestic and foreign archive documents. The book reveals that Turkey-Syria relations, which were overshadowed by the Cold War rivalry in the 1950s and PKK terrorism in the post-1980 period, settled on a clear ground of softening and reconciliation in the period from the 27 May 1960 coup to the 12 September 1980 coup. We hope that this book will be instrumental in carrying out the debates around Turkey-Syria relations on a healthier ground.

Mesut Hakkı Caşın No war can be understood independently of the multi-layered accumulation of historical, political, ethnic, religious, economic, cultural and commercial interests that prepared it.
In this context, this work named World War II; While pursuing to bring to light the intertwined and complex causes of the Second World War that are beyond the visible, it also examines the background of the effect of economic and political crises on the strengthening of totalitarian regimes, together with its intricate causes.

Demet Gürüz, Ayşen Temel Eğinli Communication is something we cannot give up in order to understand, to explain, or to agree… A cycle that we cannot escape from, continuing and responding to what we understand, what we say, and our agreements… An escalator that goes and comes continuously from us to us, from us to you, from you to us, in short from person to person… A cornerstone of life. Contact…

They don't understand me, I can't explain myself, what should I do?
I think I empathize, or am I not?
There is a constant conflict between us, how can I resolve it?
I'm unsuccessful in group work, why can't I express myself?

Ferruh Yıldız Many problems in today's cities; It is associated with poverty, inequality, pollution, unemployment, difficulties in accessing work, goods and services, low social cohesion, and poor quality of housing and other areas. On the other hand, city planning also has an impact on the social, economic and physical environments and the way cities operate.
In our country, there are more than 200 laws, statutes and regulations that directly or indirectly concern development activities. Therefore, more than 20 organizations at the national and regional level have authority as the implementer and supervisor of so many legislations. Here is one of the main reasons why an effective planning and implementation cannot be done in our country; It is the problem of institutionalization, coordination and lack of effective supervision caused by the structure of the existing planning system between the planning and implementation levels.
In this work; In parallel with the urbanization policies in our country, the necessary planning, implementation and legal bases have been tried to be given in order to produce the housing and residential environment of sufficient quality that the population needs.

A. Taha İmamoğlu, Ahmet Okumuş, Haluk Alkan, Hızır Murat Köse, İlker Kömbe, Lütfi Sunar, Ömer Türker, Özgür Kavak, Süleyman Güder, Şenol Korkut There are many attempts to define the nature of man. The most common and almost agreed upon among these attempts is that man is a political creature. Man is a being who lives in a community, makes sense and establishes himself in a community. However, the transformation of this obligatory union of people into a good and fair system poses an important problem. Various political systems have been developed throughout history to establish and maintain such a social order. One of the most important and urgent problems facing humanity today is the formation of a good, beneficial and just order for everyone.

The resulting urban sociology could be anything you can think of, if you knew it was happening in cities.

The construction of the city and the spread of cities to almost every corner of the world has been one of the most successful human creations of all time. Although it is very difficult to make a classification about the city and urban studies, which has been discussed in many ways, associated with different disciplines and has a rich literature written on it, the framework of this book covers a broad perspective from demography to the phenomenon of urbanization, from rural practices to the process of squatting, from social mobility to migration studies. and developed incrementally.
Introduction to Urban Studies aims to illuminate the dynamics of the past and present by approaching, step by step, the issues of city, dirt and migration, which still remain important and do not fall off the agenda. This work, which can be used by both those who are interested in urban studies and experts, is important in terms of being a starter book and creating integrity in the academic context.

Furkan Torlak This study explains the Egyptian leg of the popular uprisings that affected the entire Arab geography in 2011 in the context of revolution theories and civil-military relations. In this context, while examining the critical role of the Egyptian army in the political system, the revolutionary conditions leading to the January 25 Tahrir revolution and the counter-revolutionary conjuncture leading to the July 3 military coup are discussed.
The conceptual framework of the study examined how the phenomenon of revolution developed historically; He conveyed the findings of thinkers who compared different examples of revolution, and discussed the necessary conditions for revolution and counter-revolution. Within the framework of the analysis, the dictatorship was overthrown with the January 25 revolution in Egypt; It has been observed that political and social relations have been formatted in favor of large sections of them within the framework of the new constitution.
On the other hand, the extensions of the old regime, whose interests were damaged by the revolution, started the counter-revolution process; While the revolutionary forces were polarized as secular and Islamist, it was determined that the alliance of the secular sectors with the counter-revolutionary forces gave birth to the July 3 coup.
As a result, after the military coup in Egypt, while the old regime elements were at the center of the political system, the old revolutionary liberal-secular wing was excluded; With the 2014 constitution in which freedoms were restricted, it was seen that the military dictatorship was institutionalized in the country and it was moving towards an unknown future.

Hüseyin Arslan The book Milli Gorus Movement: Political and Social Transformations is an analysis of a movement that left its mark on the political history of Turkey and became the catalyst for social transformation. The Milli Gorus movement, which started with the entry of Necmettin Erbakan into politics in 1969, marks a turning point for Turkish political life and Islamist thought.
The history of Turkey cannot be analyzed clearly without considering the National Vision movement, which is the core of many social structures, institutions and political parties that still affect Turkish politics today.

Mesut Hakkı Caşın Throughout history, Turkish-Russian relations have been one of the main elements, probably the most important, of the general view of the Eurasian region and the balance of power in this geography. This important rivalry, which started with the relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Tsardom, at first tended to gain the appearance of cooperation after the establishment of the Soviet Union. With the World War II, this time it showed itself with the effect of an ideological separation. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, although there is no direct land border between Turkey and the Russian Federation, the intensity of relations between the parties has not decreased; on the contrary, due to Turkey's relationship with the Caucasus and Central Asian Turkic republics, it has gained even more importance.
There is a need for a better understanding of Russia in our country in order to better understand this new relationship ground, which often emerges as conflict/competition and sometimes as common understanding/cooperation. This academic study in your hand is of a quality that sheds light on our understanding of Russia's present and future, which takes its place in this dilemma from the point of view of Russia. Author Prof. Dr. In his work, Mesut Hakkı Caşın also uses the historical background and brief flashbacks necessary for a better understanding of this period, while trying to analyze the situation in the Russian Federation that emerged after Vladimir Putin became President. With these features, the study is a useful contribution to the efforts we feel lacking regarding Russia.

Yıldırım Deniz The Middle East, which has been a center of attraction in every period of history due to its rich oil and natural gas deposits and being the center of monotheistic religions, is an unfortunate geography that has witnessed conflicts and wars in every period as a natural consequence of these characteristics. Factors such as power or prosperity revealed by classical approaches are insufficient to explain the events in international relations in the Middle East. Therefore, the internal dynamics of the region should be known very well. One of the most important internal dynamics in explaining the events in the region is the understanding of "Salaf" religion. This book explains the reasons for the events and conflicts in the Middle East by giving answers to questions such as what Salafism is, how it emerged, what historical processes it has reached today, what its types are, how it affects the people living in the region, events and international relations.

Mustafa Eravcı, Kadir Ertaç Çelik, Mehmet Seyfettin Erol, Mücahide Nihal Engel, Naime Yüksel Kayaçağlayan, Nuri Salık, Sayim Türkman, Serpil Güdül Throughout history, the Middle East has never lost its charm due to its strategic location and the political and economic expectations of global powers. The Middle East, which experienced a stable period during the rule of the Ottoman Empire (1517-1917), first came under the control of England and France with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War, and then the USSR and the USA during the "Cold War" Period. It has been a field of contention in the political and military fields of the United States.
This second book, which was prepared as a continuation of the previous book "Middle East Perspective I", sheds light on the history of the Middle East, again with the contributions of many academicians, on the political, military and economic events experienced by the Middle East countries in the historical process.

Hakkı Uygur, M. Tahir Kılavuz, Mehmet Evkuran, Mehmet Toprak, Oğuzhan İrgüren, Ramazan Yıldırım, Süleyman Güder Although it is noteworthy that one of the cornerstones necessary to understand and make sense of the Middle East after the 2011 Arab uprisings is the relationship between politics and religion in the region, the importance of the issue is increasing day by day. As academics in Turkey, we tried to deal with the developments in the region and the background of the events.
As part of the ILEM Islamic Political Thought Project, we held a series of seminars under the heading "Politics and Religion in the Middle East". Our aim was to try to understand the politics-religion relationship in the region through different religious and political schools. In 2017, we tried to deal with issues in a different spectrum, from the origins of the two main currents in the region, $ii and Sunni political thoughts, to today's political reflections. Of course, the issues we deal with are neither limited to the seminars nor as they appear in the book; has much broader extensions. Nevertheless, we tried to produce a comprehensive and representative work.

Muhammed Emin Durmuş The concept of mukâtaa is used to express practices that have different legal consequences in foundation law, as in Ottoman financial law. In this study, the focus is mainly on the practice of mukataa, which means renting the foundation land to anyone who wants to build a building or plant a tree, with the right of decision and ownership of it. The foundations of the mukâtaa practice date back to before the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans further developed this practice, which they inherited, with some arrangements and used it for centuries. However, Ottoman lawyers, who saw that the mukâtaa practice caused the abuse of foundations over time, did not insist on this practice, on the contrary, they developed the more advantageous icâreteyn practice for foundations. This shows that mukataa paved the way for the practice of icareteyn. In this book, the historical background, nature, different practices, conditions, legal principles and rights of the mukataa contract in the 16th and 17th centuries have been tried to be revealed, especially based on fatwa journals and sharia registers.
