Hicret, Dîn ü Devlet: Osmanlı Göç Politikası(1856- 1908)[Hegira, the Religion and the State: The Ottoman Policy of Migration(1856- 1908)]

Abstract

methodology proceeds on a very rich and diversified level of analysis. For example, while Karakasis and Kaliber only analyse the security discourse of political leaders or opinion leaders, Adamides also analyzes the discourse and perceptions of subgroups, and analysis tools include many different tools such as surveys, focus group interviews, in-depth interviews and newspaper scanning. Consequently, Adamides opens up a fruitful area for discussion related to international relations, both in terms of its contribution to securitization theory by presenting new concepts and discussions, and in its handling of the Cyprus case involving a detailed research in which focus is on the social context. Furthermore, the book becomes even more valuable when the desecuritization efforts and the contributions of the new energy era to these efforts are taken into account. The main shortcoming of the study is that, unlike the other studies mentioned, it only includes the securitization practices in the Greek Cypriot community, instead of making a comparative analysis of the securitization practices on both sides of Cyprus. Considering the fact that the author is a Greek Cypriot and is best placed to analyse the Greek Cypriot community, this comprehensive and in-depth analysis could be taken much further through a comparative study. However, it should be noted that this study is a preliminary step for scholars dealing with the Turkish Cypriot community and opens the door for new research.
