| Since the middle of the 20th century, attention has somewhat shifted to discussing democracy problems. Conventionally, however, the dominant approach has still been centered on how to establish and sustain democratic values, institutions, and safeguards for individual rights against the legacy of the state-dominant single party authoritarianism and the secularism imperative. The undying legacies of the modern ?Leviathan?, the Turkish state, has been assumed to lead to exclusion, essentializing, marginalization, and militarization of non-state actors.
The end result is the emasculation of democracy. An extension of this stand is that the ?enlightened? agenda of Turkey?s modernizing elite is threatened by the ?resistance? of the excluded. Under this context, IR and Public Adm. students so far who studied World History, Ottoman History and European Political History needs to learn contemporary historical developments also which most of them are the causes of current conflicts or issues. During Political History course starting from mid-19th century world events including Ottoman modernization and fall, foundation of Modern Turkish Republic will be tackled with.
