The fifth symposium on the theme “Islamic Civilisation in Volga-Ural Region” was organized jointly by IRCICA, Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Shehabeddin Merdjani Institute, and Russia Islamic University (Kazan) in June 2012. The papers presented dealt with specific topics and eminent figures within the history of thought and trends of modernization in Volga-Ural region, contacts and exchanges having taken place between the region and various parts of the Muslim world in cultural and educational areas, urban and architectural developments in the region and inter-cultural influences, among others. In the preface Dr. Halit Eren points to the importance of Volga-Ural region in Islamic history. The people of the region converted to Islam over time by gettingacquainted with it through contacts with merchants comingfrom Kharezm and Khorassan.Encouragedbythisdevelopment, Almish Khan, rulerof the Bolghar State in the voga region at the beginning of 10th century, established relations with the Abbasid Caliphate by sending an envoy to Caliph Muqtedir Billah, requesting him to send religious scholars to the Boghar to teach the precepts of Islam. The Caliph responded favourably, sending an Abbasiddelegation tothe Bolghar State in the year922. Almish Khan convertedtoIslam and his statebecame the first Islamic country in the region. The firstaccountof this relationshipis thetravelogueof Ibn Fadlan, who was thesecretary tothe Ambassador in this mission tothe BolgharState. Afterwards cities were foundedin the region with Islamic institutions such as mosques, madrasas andlaw courts. Bolghar city itself turnedintoa vibrant commercial center thatdrew merchants from Arab,Persian,Turkoman,Caspian,Scandinavian and Russian lands. Later,after foundation of Kazan city, Kazan Khanate became the second Islamic state in the region and Islam maintained its vitality for centuries as one of the most important civilizational traditions. These processes and their present heritage are highlighted in the series of symposiums organized by IRCICA in cooperation with governments and academic

İntihar, tüm toplumlar için giderek daha da ciddiye alınması gereken bir sorun hâline gelmektedir. Hem akademik anlamda hem de müdahale çalışmaları çerçevesinde intiharın anlaşılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Günümüzde intihar, ölüm nedenleri sıralamasında ilk onda yer alıyor. Özellikle genç bireylerin ölümleri mercek altına alındığında oran üçte bire kadar çıkmaktadır. İntiharın neden olduğu kayıplar, kaybedilen hayatlarla da sınırlı kalmaz. İntihar, ardında bıraktığı enkaz sebebiyle ölen kişinin yakınlarını da dalga etkisi altına alır. Bu yanıyla bakıldığında intihar, bireyden topluma doğru yayılan bir kayıp, acı ve ümitsizlik kaynağıdır. Üstelik tüm zorlayıcılığıyla intihar, daha gizli ve konuşulmayan bir boyutun ortaya çıkmasına da neden olur. Bu çalışma, çok katmanlı ve derinden anlaşılması gereken intiharın, farklı bakış açısı ve disiplinler çerçevesinde incelenmesi gerektiğine olan inançtan doğmuştur. Ayrıca bu çalışma ile söz konusu alana katkı sağlanması hedeflenmektedir.
Bu doğrultuda hazırlanan ve yirmi farklı başlıktan oluşan bu kitabın üç temel önermesi vardır: intihar anlaşılabilir, intihar önlenebilir, gerçekleşmesi durumunda intihara müdahale edilebilir. Kitabın ilk on bir bölümü klinik yaklaşımları, psikolojik müdahale ve önleme tekniklerini içermektedir. Sonraki dokuz bölüm ise intiharı farklı disiplinler bağlamında okuma ve anlama amacını taşır. İntihara dair bu çok disiplinli kitabın, farklı alandan kişilerin ihtiyaçlarına cevap vereceği düşüncesindeyiz. Alana ilgi duyan tüm okuyucular, lisans ve lisansüstü öğrencileri, akademisyenler, konu ile ilgili kavramsal ve kuramsal araştırma yapan tüm meslek mensupları (sağlık bilimleri, sosyal hizmet, sosyoloji, iletişim ve medya çalışanları vb.) kitabın yarar sağlayacağı gruplar içerisinde sayılabilir.

Cumhuriyetimiz, Atatürk liderliğinde verilen büyük savaşım sonunda kurulan devletimiz, yüz yaşında. “Asıl mücadelemiz şimdi başlıyor.” diyerek milletini, yeni devletin kurulmasından hemen sonra da yüce hedeflere yönelten Ulu Önder, muasır medeniyetler seviyesine ancak eğitimle ulaşılacağına iman ediyordu. “Silahıyla olduğu gibi dimağıyla da mücadele etmek zorunda olan ulusumuzun birincisinde gösterdiği kudreti ikincisinde de göstereceğine, asla şüphem yoktur.” sözüyle ise eğitimde nitelik ve başarıyı temin etme konusunda da halkına duyduğu güveni ifade ediyordu. Biz de bu büyük devlet ve aziz milletin gerçek gelişiminin eğitimle mümkün olacağına inanıyor ve eğitim ve bilimi her zaman yol gösterici kabul edeceği hususunda ulusumuza tam anlamıyla itimat ediyoruz. Bu güdüyle bu kitapta, eğitimde ideal olanları yani düşüncenin tasarlayabileceği bütün üstün nitelikleri kendinde toplayan uygulama ve politikaları, bilgi birikimimiz ve tecrübelerimiz çerçevesinde dile getirmeye çalıştık.  Anlattıklarımızın naçizane bizim fikirlerimiz, önerilerimiz olduğunu okurların dikkatine sunarız. Cumhuriyet’in yüzüncü yılında mutlaka bir iz bırakmak saikiyle hazırladığımız bu eserin tüm okurlara faydalı olmasını umuyoruz.

This book resulted from the congress which was organized jointly by the Royal Institute for the History of Morocco (IRRHM, Rabat) and IRCICA with the collaboration of the Faculty of Letters and Humanities, Mohammed V University, in Rabat. Its theme, with geographical focus on “The Maghreb and Western Mediterranean” and historical reference to the Ottoman period, brought into scope a multitude of issues of the sea and the land, travels and trade, political rivalries, economic competition, dynasties and legal systems. Relations between the states and societies around the Mediterranean, developmentof technology, arts andculture, andthe external andthe internal factors always atplay in this zoneof crossings, all came intothe analysis. Thus the congress covereda wide rangeof subjects. The session theme “DiscoveringThe Other” was addressed with studieson geographers andtravelers with regard to how peoples of the Maghreb and the Ottoman world came to know each other through these sources. Among the texts studied were the works of illustrious Ottoman scientists-geographers such as Piri Reis and Katip Çelebi about Morocco and the writings emanating from Moroccan ambassadorial missions and Moroccan travelers about Ottoman lands. Two sessions were devoted to the theme “Maghrebians and Ottomans”, dealing with a wide gamut of cases of unity and conflict, cooperation and competition, perception and treatment. Another session was devoted to the theme of economy and architecture, with references to European trade in the region, Ottoman legislation on trade, infrastructural developments and mutual influences between Ottoman and Maghrebian architectural styles and elements. The session on “Western Mediterranean between Confrontation and Communication” addressed several specific subjects, including navies, slavery, and pilgrimage routes, while the session titled “Between Localism and Centralism”discussedchallengingtopics in the contextof relationsbetween the Ottoman State andthe regions then falling within andoutside its realm.

A congress was organized jointly by IRCICA and Near East University, Nicosia (Northern Cyprus), on the theme “Islamic Civilization around the Mediterranean”, in December 2010.Papers contributedby scholars andresearchers from all continents aroundthe Mediterranean glimpsedat life in the region atdifferent timeperiods with focuseson Muslims’presence andparticipation in the variousprocesses includingthedevelopmentof cities, art and architecture, science and education, governance and administrative practices. Islam, unlike Christianity and Judaism, was not born in the vicinity of the Mediterranean but reached it by mid-7th century. Then within its first century Islam spread in the southern, eastern and western shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In later centuries, commercial and cultural exchanges between Muslimson one handandEuropeanson theothergrew uninterruptedly,at timesof conflict (such as theCrusades)as wellasofpeace.This contributedto enriching the cultural diversities of the civilizations that evolved around the Mediterranean. The bouquet of good quality studies contained in the book reflects the scope and depth of this multicultural legacy and its Islamic component that is diffused throughout the region.

The International Congress on “The SecondConstitutionalPeriod/Meşrutiyet of the Ottoman State on its Centenary” was organizedby IRCICA in Istanbul, on 7-10 May 2008, with the participation of 106 scholars and researchers presenting 102 papers. The papers are published in this book in their original language: English, Turkish or Arabic. The 1839 Tanzimat andthe 1856 Islahat initiatives of the Ottoman State,proclamation of the Constitution andestablishment of theParliament in 1876, subsequentdismissalof theParliament andsuspension of the Constitution, andits reinstatement thirty years later in 1908, each of these events resulted from theinterplayofexternalandinternal factorsbut wereall motivatedbytheobjectiveofkeepingtheempirein unity.This constitutionalprocessof the Ottoman State inspired many attempts ofdemocratization in otherparts of the world. Some of the ensuingpolitical andideological currents constituted turning points in the history of countries. Similar to other examples ofdissolution of empires in the world, thedecline of the Ottoman empire ledto thebirth of new nation-states of varyingsizes and diverse political regimes. Transformations in the mosaic of nations and communities that had emerged from it continued throughout twentieth century. The papers examine the period from various angles: the factors that prepared the reinstatement of the Ottoman Constitution in 1908, the political, social, economic, cultural, legal and other consequences of the Second Constitution in the capital and in the provinces, its echoes in different partsof the empireandin other countriesof the Eastandthe West, its reflections in thepress, in literature, its impacton educational institutions,among other developments.

The experience of multi-faith coexistence in the Russian Federation andthedeep-rootedIslamic culture and heritage that is livingin some of its regions, among them Volga-Ural region, constitute a noteworthy dimension in the study of Islamic civilization in its regional achievements. Islam in Volga-Ural region is eleven centuries old; historical records starting with the travelogue of Ibn Fadlan in the tenth century provide evidence of inter-faith contacts developed from then on. IRCICA has been promoting research on this history and throwing light on the historical evidence at the background of the cultural relations that have been growing between the Muslim world on one hand and Russia with its Muslim communities on the other. To this aim IRCICA institutedamongothers this seriesof symposiums, which itorganizedin cooperation with thegovernmentsandacademic institutionsof countries in the region.
