This thesis aims at contributing to the debate on continuity/discontinuity from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey regarding the fields of money, banking, and finance. In order to pave the way for a comprehensive exploration of the subject, Karl Polanyi's (1944) thesis on institutions and institutional change concerning the 19th century order is employed. In this context, in the particular Turkish case, the focus is placed upon the process leading to the establishment of the Central Bank of Turkey, which itself is the subject of final discontinuity. This process manifests itself in the 1913-1930 period. Concentration on the creation of national banks on the grounds of financial structure inherited from the Ottoman Empire constitutes the economic aspect of this study whereas the examination of the minutes of the National Assembly concerning banking arrangements forms the political aspect of this study.

Pluralism in science Bakdur, Eser; Sol, Ayhan; Department of Philosophy (2009) This thesis investigates the determinants of financial development in Turkey. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is employed in order to examine the main determinants of financial sector development and shed light on the structure of the financial system in Turkey.

Contributions of the Ottoman Empire to the construction of Modern Europe Palabıyık, Mustafa Serdar; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2005) This thesis aims to analyze the contributions of the Ottoman Empire to the construction of modern Europe in the early modern period. Conventional historiography generally argues that the Ottoman Empire contributed to the emergence of the modern European identity only through acting as the ءother̕ of Europe. This thesis, however, aims to show that such an analysis is not enough to understand the Ottoman impact on the European state system. Moreover, it argues that the Ottoman Empire contributed to the constr...
The Evolution and professionalization of economic thought from the late Ottoman empire to the Turkish Republic: the case of İbrahim Fazil Pelin Aslanmirza, Burak; Zorlu Durukan, Şefika Akile; Department of History (2018) The Anglo-Ottoman Trade Convention of 1838 – usually regarded as a milestone in the Ottoman Empire’s integration process to capitalism and the liberal world – also presents a landmark for the germination of Ottoman intellectuals’ interest in European economic thought and the acceleration of intellectual discussions on the subject thanks to the rise of private press. However, the transformation of economic thought from being the object of intellectual interest to being a separate discipline, accordingly its ...
Identity Formation and the Political Power in the Late Ottoman Empire and Early Turkish Republic Şeker, Nesim (2005-09-01) This article examines the reasons, consequences and penetration ways of the nationalist movement in the lands that made up the Ottoman Empire.

This...
