ARC Future Fellow Prof Dr Hans-Lukas Kieser
Prof Dr Hans-Lukas Kieser have been awarded an ARC Future Fellowship 2013-2017, War, Violence, and Apocalyptic-Millenarianism in the Middle East: Talat Pasha and the Foundation of Modern Turkey, 1874-1921
2013-2017 ARC funded Future Fellowship, $790,764.00
This research
project considers the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, the Ottoman entry into the
First Word War on the side of the Axis powers, and the subsequent demise of the
Ottoman Empire in a broad international context. It addresses matters of deep
analytical import - state formation, political violence, and genocide - and the
relationship between these elements. It focuses in particular on the Grand
Vizir, Talat Pasha, the founder of the modern Turkish nation-state, and the
architect of the Armenian genocide. This history is essential for a
contemporary understanding of the most controversial problems - the Kurdish
conflict, the Armenian question, Palestine - facing Turkey and the Middle East
today.
