This study analyzes the interdynastic relations in East Asia between the 10th and 14th centuries focusing on the relations between the sedentary and the nomadic dynasties that began to emerge on the northern borders of the sedentary societies of East Asia. After the collapse of the short-lived Türk and Uighur Qaghanates and the Tang Dynasty, beginning with the Khitans, the nomads began to unite around certain dynasties. Regardless of their ethnic background, these dynasties created dual administrative structures and yet acted like qaghans rather than Chinese Emperors despite assuming the title of Emperor. The focus of this study is to examine the nature of the relations between the nomadic and sedentary dynasties during a period in which the nomads had the military and political upper hand.

Variable kinship patterns in Neolithic Anatolia revealed by ancient genomes
Yaka, Reyhan; et. al. (2021-06-01)
The social organization of the first fully sedentary societies that emerged during the Neolithic period in Southwest Asia remains enigmatic,1 mainly because material culture studies provide limited insight into this issue. However, because Neolithic Anatolian communities often buried their dead beneath domestic buildings,2 household composition and social structure can be studied through these human remains. Here, we describe genetic relatedness among co-burials associated with domestic buildings in Neolith...
Archaeogenomic analysis of genetic and cultural interactions in Neolithic Anatolian societies (NEOGENE)
Somel, Mehmet; Atakuman, Çiğdem; Sürer, Elif(2023)
The Neolithic Transition in the Near East (c.10,000-6,000 BC) was a period of singular sociocultural change, when societies adopted sedentary life and agriculture for the first time in human history. This project will jointly use genomic and quantitative cultural data to explore Transition societies’ organisation, interactions, and their social and demographic evolution in time. (1) We will start by dissecting social structures within Neolithic communities in Anatolia, studying the role of kinship, postmari...
International relations studies in Asia: Japan, China, and India compared
Yücel, Okan; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2020)
This thesis attempts to analyze the development of IR studies in three major Asian countries, namely Japan, China, and India. The main research question is whether the Asian study of IR is capable of challenging the ontological and epistemological assumptions of the Western study of IR. Regarding this research question; influential philosophers, key concepts, and major think tanks of these three countries are examined. In this thesis, it is observed that the fundamental concepts and esteemed philosophers of...
The aspects of Central Asian economic integration after 1991: the reasons of inefficiency
Manasov, Zamirbek; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Eurasian Studies (2008)
This study seeks to analyze the dimensions of economic integration in the Central Asia after the independence. The collapse of the Soviet Union opened new perspectives for Central Asian states and gave chance to follow national policies independently. However, used to be parts of the big economic complex of the former Soviet Union and being lack of government experience in public and private economy made them to cooperate with old and new markets. The study argues that although there were established number...

The Neolithic transition in west Eurasia occurred in two main steps: the gradual development of sedentism and plant cultivation in the Near East and the subsequent spread of Neolithic cultures into the Aegean and across Europe after 7000 cal BCE. Here, we use published ancient genomes to investigate gene flow events in west Eurasia during the Neolithic transition. We confirm that the Early Neolithic central Anatolians in the ninth millennium BCE were probably descendants of local hunter-gatherers, rather th...
