(Today's Zaman-Turkey) Kerim Balci - The Ottoman state was not a nation-state organized around certain ideological positions. It was a state organized around a family. Hence, neo-Ottomanism is not a revivalist perspective because there is nothing to revive. The revival of the Ottoman state is not realistic and is not desirable. Even the foundation of a new transnational body that invites post-Ottoman states to membership is not a viable goal. Post-Ottoman states are unfulfilled nation-state experiments with thousands of problems. A Commonwealth of Post-Ottoman States won't have anything in "common." This is not to say that Turkey won't be a regional superpower and with a role to play in world politics. But expansionism is just not the mood of the day. 2010-12-17 08:44:01Full Article
