In the 1920s, the political cooperation that commenced between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and Turkey transformed into economic solidarity. The 5-year plans of the USSR and the financial support and technical knowledge it provided to Turkey significantly contributed to Turkey's industrialisation process. After World War II, political and economic dynamics changed, leading to a decline in these relations. Following the dissolution of the USSR, relations between Turkey and the Russian Federation revived and economic cooperation increased. This collaboration, particularly evident in the tourism, energy, and trade sectors, has intensified. This article analyses the contributions of the 1930s USSR–Turkey cooperation to Turkey's industrialisation process and its contemporary effects. Additionally, it highlights a positive public and political approach in Turkey towards its economic relations with Russia.</p>","PeriodicalId":46376,"journal":{"name":"History Compass","volume":"22 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141597136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The firearms trade is the key focus, as this item was almost a universal trade good for much of the nineteenth century Pacific. Given that these weapons were both a complex industrial product and also often attributed to devastating social impacts, they offer unique potential both for indicating the global nature of nineteenth century Pacific trade, and for querying the role of Europeans in impacting indigenous island populations. The use of data provided by careful cross referencing of traditional primary material with large digital archives such as the Australian National Library's TROVE database offers the potential to lift such discussion above supposition and assumption, providing valuable contributions for many regional histories in the Pacific and beyond.</p>","PeriodicalId":46376,"journal":{"name":"History Compass","volume":"22 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/hic3.12814","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141439563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, to contour the boundaries of modern disability history through outlining its development and second, to provide a new methodological agenda for disability history. The design model of disability has outlined an important new programme to integrate the social and medical models of disability by foregrounding materials. Yet ‘disability things’ (to use Ott's memorable term) have been part of disability history's genesis since the material turn, which started the process of social historians recovering the lives of those not recorded in textual sources through objects, including prosthetics. From considering objects as things, the influence of Science and Technology Studies scholars pushed disability historians to further consider objects as agents and objects in use. These approaches have highlighted the differential levels of autonomy and power that objects and their users have in making history. However, this focus on materials has highlighted visible and recorded disability over ‘invisible’ disability, which has perpetuated its opacity and created definitional difficulties around disability demarcation. Medical history methodologies aimed at revealing the ‘patient view’ can help bring people back into focus but uphold the categories of patients and biomedicine in a way that impedes the aims of disability scholars. Focusing on exactly <i>what</i> is hidden is less useful than focusing on <i>how</i> it is hidden, and science and technology study methodologies can illuminate these processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":46376,"journal":{"name":"History Compass","volume":"22 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/hic3.12813","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141308809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In describing how white bushranging men came to national prominence, the piece will also draw attention to those excluded from this legend—women and people of colour, with particular reference to Aboriginal people.
