New Perspectives on Turkey (NPT) is a peer-reviewed social science journal published biannually. The aim of the journal is to provide an intellectual platform for scholarly debates and ideas relating to the history, politics, society, economy and culture of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In addition to research directly concerned with Turkey and the Ottoman Empire, comparative perspectives and theoretical contributions relevant to such research are also actively solicited. The variety of material in the past issues - ranging from Ottoman history to contemporary politics, from sociological inquiries to economic analysis, and from general theoretical concerns to interventions in specific debates - reflects the diversity of the journal’s area of interests. New Perspectives on Turkey publishes articles, book reviews, review articles, commentaries and reports on conferences. Each submission goes through a double blind review process. NPT’s policy is that published articles make original and strong theoretical and/or empirical contributions in their scholarly fields
