Among the topics to be studied are, the attempts over the past two hundred years to modernize Turkey, the social and political conflicts these attempts have generated, the domestic and international political difficulties the country is faced with, and the nature of its recent economic problems. Required readings are drawn from a variety of sources and disciplines in the social sciences.
