This study aims to analyzing the role of Islam, regionalism, and external factors (the involvement of the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Iran) in the Tajik Civil War (1992-97). It analyzes all these three factors one by one. In the thesis, it is argued that all of the three factors played an active and equal role in the emergence of the war and that in the case of the absence of any of these factors, the Tajik Civil War would not erupt. As such, none of the factors is considered to be the only player on its own and none of the factors is considered to be the basic result of other two factors.

A critical evaluation of the third way and its reflections on Turkish Politics Türk, Duygu; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2005) This thesis aims to provide a critical evaluation of the Third Way and its reflections on Turkish politics.

Based on a specific account of the radically changed world, the Third Way has maintained that the new conditions have rendered the old conceptualizations, as well as the old political positions, invalid. In this sense, this thesis argues that th...

Interpretive schemes and Ottoman historiography in the twentieth century Kılınçoğlu, Deniz T; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2005) This thesis analyzes the influences of three eminent social scientists on Ottoman historiography.

Nevertheless, whereas the studies of Braudel and Wallerstein made more strong impacts on the area, the influences of Mann remain limited. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influences of the former two scholars on Ottoman historiography and th...
