Sultan Abdülaziz Dönemi Balkanlar’ına İmgesel Bir Bakış: Balkanlaşma Kavramının Ortaya Çıkışına Dair Bir Önerme
An Imaginative Look at the Balkans of the Sultan Abdulaziz Period: A Proposal on the Appearance of the Balkanizatıon Concept

Summary/Abstract: With the weakening of the Ottoman administration in the region, the Balkans was re-entered into a building process. With new concepts, new borders and new definitions, a new history was tried to be written not only for the post-Ottoman period but also for the pre-Ottoman period. Undoubtedly, the marginalization of continental Europe on the Ottoman past played an important role. With the end of the 19th century, the new construction process evolved and the whole process evolved into a new way of thinking called Balkanization. History, literature, sociology and many other disciplines were mobilized for this manipulation. As new products became apparent, the Balkans became the other Europe. And this process has never come to an end. It is clear that when the Balkanization process began and the origins of which have not been clearly identified, there are points that have become roughly apparent in the mid-19th century. Although studies on the subject in the West increasingly slow process in this process in Turkey. This study was written with the intention of suggesting the origins of Balkanization. The study will be shaped by an evaluation of Sultan Abdülaziz period and the emergence of the idea of Balkanization will be tried to be clarified.
