Description:

Taking Michael Mann's analysis of the sources of social power in Europe as a starting point, Tim Jacoby relates Turkish political, ideological, economic and military power networks to developmental patterns in the country, to reveal the modern state's relationship with civil society.

Synopsis:

This book focuses on the historical sociology of the Turkish state, seeking to compare the development of the Ottoman/Turkish state with similar processes of large scale historical change in Europe identified by Michael Mann in The Sources of Social Power. Jacoby traces the contours of Turkey's 'modernisation' with the intention of formulating a fresh way to approach state development in countries on the global economic periphery, particularly those attempting to effect closer ties with northern markets. It also highlights matters of social change pertinent to states grappling with issues relating to political Islam, minority identity and irredentist dissent.
