The NPT is a refereed, scholarly journal published biannually by Homer. The
aim of the journal is to provide a medium and an intellectual platform for
debates and new scholarly ideas relating to the history, politics, society,
economy and culture of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In addition to
research directly concerned with Turkey and the Ottoman Empire, comparative
perspectives and theoretical contributions relevant to such research are
also actively solicited. The variety of material in the past issues -
ranging from Ottoman history to contemporary politics, from general
theoretical concerns to interventions in specific debates - reflects the
diversity of the journal's area of interests.

We hope very much that you will become a regular reader of the journal and
also contribute to its success with your work. We welcome articles,
reviews, reports on research and conferences, occasional notes and
communications.
