Arabs and Young Turks provides a detailed study of Arab
politics in the late Ottoman Empire as viewed from the imperial
capital in Istanbul. In an analytical narrative of the Young Turk
period ...(1908-1918) historian Hasan Kayali discusses Arab concerns
on the one hand and the policies of the Ottoman government toward
the Arabs on the other. Kayali's novel use of documents from the
Ottoman archives, as well as Arabic sources and Western and Central
European documents, enables him to reassess conventional wisdom on
this complex subject and to present an original appraisal of
proto-nationalist ideologies as the longest-living Middle Eastern
dynasty headed for collapse. He demonstrates the persistence and
resilience of the supranational ideology of Islamism which
overshadowed Arab and Turkish ethnic nationalism in this crucial
transition period. Kayali's study reaches back to the nineteenth
century and highlights both continuity and change in Arab-Turkish
relations from the reign of Abdulhamid II to the constitutional
period ushered in by the revolution of 1908. Arabs and Young
Turks is essential for an understanding of contemporary issues
such as Islamist politics and the continuing crises of nationalism
in the Middle East.
Abstract Background The use of prophylactic drainage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been a routine practice for many years. However, the debate surrounding using it stems from conflicting ...evidence regarding its potential benefits and risks. Methods Patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from February 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, at Aleppo University Hospital were enrolled according to our previously registered protocol (NCT05267860). Results This study included 232 patients (117 in the drainage group DG, and 115 in the non‐drainage group NDG). There was no statistical difference in the patients' main characteristics, comorbidities, and laboratory findings. The duration of the surgical operation in NDG (mean = 44.92, SD = 1.85) was shorter than in DG (mean 55.14, SD = 2.14), with ( p = 0.039) statistically significant, which indicates that the use of the drainage led to a prolongation of the surgical operation. The total number of complicated cases reached 22 (9.48%) cases (DG = 9 vs. NDG = 13, p = 0.348) as follows: bleeding ( n = 1) (DG = 1 vs. NDG = 0; p = 0.320), bile leak with no established bile duct injury ( n = 1) (DG = 1 vs. NDG = 0; p = 0.320), wound infection ( n = 12) (DG = 4 vs. NDG = 8; p = 0.443), urinary tract infection ( n = 3) (DG = 0 vs. NDG = 3; p = 0.079), prolonged shoulder pain ( n = 2) (DG = 0 vs. NDG = 2; p = 0.152), and acute pancreatitis ( n = 1) (DG = 1 vs. NDG = 0; p = 0.144). Conclusion Based on the results of our study, the use of prophylactic drainage was safe, but ineffective, as it did not improve the outcomes statistically significantly or worsen them, which is consistent with previous studies highlighting the need for personalized patient care in this setting.
In 1914, World War I broke out with the infamous assassination in Bosnia, a territory over which the Ottomans had had to cede sovereignty only six years earlier. Historians may differ on the wisdom ...of the Ottoman defensive alliance with Germany in Aug 1914, which paved the empire's way into the conflagration. The Ottoman leadership, influenced by its isolation and defeat in recent wars, perceived securing an alliance as a matter of survival. Whether the outbreak of a pan-European war in 1914 was anticipated or caught the world by surprise may also be a matter of debate; to the Ottomans, war came as business as usual. Here, Kayali discusses the Ottoman war experience.

The fall of empires and the rise of nation-states was a defining political transition in the making of the modern world. As United States imperialism becomes a popular focus of debate, we must ...understand how empire, the nineteenth century's dominant form of large-scale political organization, had disappeared by the end of the twentieth century. Here, ten prominent specialists discuss the empire-to-nation transition in comparative perspective. Chapters on Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia, and China illustrate both the common features and the diversity of the transition. Questioning the sharpness of the break implied by the empire/nation binary, the contributors explore the many ways in which empires were often nation-like and nations behaved imperially. While previous studies have focused on the rise and fall of empires or on nationalism and the process of nation-building, this intriguing volume concentrates on the empire-to-nation transition itself. Understanding this transition allows us to better interpret the contemporary political order and new forms of global hegemony.
The 1876 constitution and its reinstitution in 1908 have been acknowledged as landmarks in the historiography of the late Ottoman Empire. The promulgation of a constitution signified a critical ...political transformation despite the brevity of the First Constitutional Period (1876–78). During the next three decades of Sultan Abdülhamid's autocratic rule, the ultimately successful struggle to restore the constitution against the Sultan's relentless resistance became central to the political life of the empire. In 1908, the Young Turk Revolution inaugurated a decade of social and political change, the Second Constitutional Period.
