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.

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.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influences of the former two scholars on Ottoman historiography and th...
