ABOUT THIS BOOK:
In this book, which is now considered a classic in its field, MS Anderson examines the Eastern Question in all its aspects, based on secret treaty documents, embassy reports and memoirs of diplomats.
The Eastern Question is another name for the imperialist policies implemented by the European Great Powers, primarily the Ottoman Empire, in the Near East since the late 18th century. This form of politics, which paved the way for the emergence of international diplomacy in the modern sense, was the joint product of secret treaties that observed delicate balances, long-term interests and, most importantly, ambitious politicians. A series of political and economic events within the Eastern Question, from the Suez Canal to the Baghdad Railway project, from Balkan nationalism to the Arab uprising, also shed light on today's problems through Anderson's narration.(Publisher).
