From Cairo to Baghdad
Author: James Canton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857735713
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Until the 1880s, British travellers to Arabia were for the most part wealthy dilettantes who could fund their travels from private means. With the advent of an Imperial presence in the region, as the British seized power in Egypt, the very nature of travel to the Middle East changed. Suddenly, ordinary men and women found themselves visiting the region as British influence increased. Missionaries, soldiers and spies as well as tourists and explorers started to visit the area, creating an ever bigger supply of writers, and market for their books. In a similar fashion, as the Empire receded in the wake of World War II, so did the whole tradition of Middle East travel writing. In this elegantly crafted book, James Canton examines over one hundred primary sources, from forgotten gems to the classics of T E Lawrence, Thesiger and Philby. He analyses the relationship between Empire and author, showing how the one influenced the other, leading to a vast array of texts that might never have been produced had it not been for the ambitions of Imperial Britain. This work makes for essential reading for all of those interested in the literature of Empire, travel writing and the Middle East.

Urbanization and Productivity: Evidence from Turkish Provinces over the Period
Author: Somik V. Lall, Souleymane Coulibaly, Uwe Deichmann
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Business environment
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Abstract: Since the early 1980s, Turkey has been going through a rapid urbanization process at a pace beyond the World average. This paper aims at assessing the impact of this rapid urbanization process on the country's sector productivity. The authors built a database combining two-digit manufacturing data and some geographical, infrastructural, and socio-economic data collected at the provincial level by the Turkish State Institute of Statistics. The paper develops a parsimonious econometric relation linking sector productivity to accessibility, localization, and urbanization economies, proxying variables in the tradition of the New Economic Geography literature. The estimation results suggest that both localization and urbanization economies, as well as market accessibility, are productivity-enhancing factors in Turkey, although the causation link between productivity and these agglomeration measures is not clearly established. The sector-by-sector estimation confirms this result, although the localization economies effect is negative for the non-oil mineral sector, and the urbanization economies effect is weak for natural-resource-based sectors such as the wood and metal industry. Although the data cover the period up to 2000 and thus ignore the financial crisis that hit Turkey in 2001, the current structural transformation of the country away from the agricultural sector gives room to use the insights of these results as a preliminary step to understand the new challenges faced by the Turkish manufacturing sector. The results provide a discussion base to revisit the policy agenda on the improvement of the accessibility to markets, the improvement of the business environment to ease the creation and development of new firms, and a well-managed urbanization process to tap in the economic potential of cities.

Pages : 142
Book Description
ABSTRACT In this book ‘Mutual Massacre ‘, the events that were experienced before, during and after the 1915 deportation are looked upon with a critical perspective. However, the book includes objective, impartial comments and examplications on the Armenian issue. This book is unique that was written on the Armenian issue with a different perspective. It includes all the sides of massacre and that they caused bloody and misery events on the scale of place, time and actors. Armenian Hinchak and Dashnak organization called Humbapets who were the members of armed gang, acted in brutal events and massacred the Muslims. Kurds, saying ‘there is decree from the Sultan’ and massacred Armenians. Kurds called this groups Bejiks. Actors of this mutual massacre were mostly these two groups. Only these two groups? Circassians, some officials, gendarmes, ignorant, governors also took part in this issue. Ottoman Empire legislated the Armenian deportation. The government planned everything delicately to their Armenian citizens arrive safely and thought the precautions to be taken, ordered the obligations to the civilian authorities. There was no genocidal intent or purpose. But, were the deported Armenians sent in accordance with the instructions published after the deportation law? Exactly, NO! The deportation turned in to massacre, plunder and oppression in some places. All sides of these massacres should accept their faults. Betrayals, weaknesses, provocations, causes, consequences, wrong policies, plunders etc.…
