  • Ethnic Cleansing in Western Anatolia, 1912–1923
    The Greek landing in Smyrna in May 1919 is widely seen as the catalyst of the Turkish national struggle, but even during the chaos between 1919-1923, the diverse peoples of Asia Minor coexisted and created astonishing, yet fragile, infra-national solutions. In sharp contrast to popular history, Ethnic Cleansing in Western Anatolia, 1912–1923 tells the often-overlooked story of cooperation and resistance...

  • Erosion
    Civilisations rarely collapse through a single catastrophic event.

Erosion is a structural analysis of how societies deteriorate when small violations become normalised and corrective pressure fades. Across twenty chapters, the book examines the mechanisms through which public standards decline: How minor acts...

By the 1860s, the city of Rusçuk in present-day Bulgaria and capital of the Ottoman Danube province became a test case for this expansive reform movement within an urbanising and contested peripheral landscape.
