INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TURKIC WORLD FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE
20TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY 24-27 April 2018 / Almaty – KAZAKHSTAN
An international symposium hosted by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University is going to be held by Atatürk Supreme Council for Culture, Language and History – Atatürk Research Center under the title of “Political, Economic and Cultural Developments in the Turkic World from the Beginning of the 20th Century to the Present Day” in the Kazakh city of Almaty on 24-27 April.
Vitally important events have taken place in the world history in the period starting from the end of the 19th century and stretching to the present day. In the 20th century, the developments which took place in the process leading to WWI, the period during and after the war in particular, affected the whole world together with the political, economic, cultural changes and transformations that deeply influenced all the states, nations and communities.
One of the most important regions affected by these changes and transformations is the geography where the deep-rooted Turkish legacy is dominant. The regions stretching from Siberia to the Balkans and from the Far East to Anatolia, in which Turkic peoples live, have become an important part of this transformation. This geography which is predominantly populated by Turkic peoples and where independent states and empires were founded in the various periods of history covers a vast area starting from East Turkestan (Autonomous Republic of Xinjiang / East Turkestan / Kashgar) Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Anatolia, the Balkans, Central Europe, Desht-i Qipchaq / northern part of the Black Sea, the Caucasus and Siberia. Presently, the region that is within the boundaries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and autonomous Turkic republics in the Russian Federation is regarded as the Region Beyond the Caspian / East Turkic World. The region starting from Azerbaijan and covering the Caucasus, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Anatolia, and the Balkans is considered as the Nearer Side of the Caspian / West Turkic World. Central Asia, which is the center of this geography, is generally called Turkestan as of the 18th century.
In this very geography, the USSR, which turned out to be a dominant power in this region in the aftermath of the internal conflicts that transpired after WWI starting from the end of the 19th century, undertook to reshape the conventional forms of administration, production and social organization which it considered as the rivals of the socialist ideology by completely changing them. The social, cultural, and economic cost of this period for different peoples within the USSR was quite heavy. The effects and changes which came about especially in the socio-economic and cultural areas created by the practices that were developed within the framework of Sovietization policies are worth analyzing for the Turkic communities.
The chief objective of this symposium is to examine, with different perspectives, the historical, cultural, economic, political, military changes and developments in the region and
their consequences from the end of the 19th century to the present day by addressing them in various aspects and to analyze how the rivalry and the interaction in the region between the great powers and the regional powers occurred and the concomitant reflections and effects in the region. In this way, the political, economic, cultural and suchlike transformation period which the Turkic communities living in a vast geography stretching from Eastern Europe to the Far East went through will be addressed with a holistic perspective and an interdisciplinary approach within the framework of a comparative method.
Papers are supposed to be original and it is required that they have not been presented or printed before and that they are not titles, subheadings or parts of a published book or a thesis even though the thesis has not been published.
Below are the topics that are planned to be included in the symposium. However, the paper topics are not limited to these. Different topics may also be presented in the papers on condition that one does not digress from the main theme and sticks to the general framework of the symposium.
