Revisiting history and geography to understand the present - Jamel Sarraj - Bog

Social scientists are skilled at explaining and understanding how the world works. History is used to understand the mechanism of power, its conquest and its loss. Geography, whether human, physical or economic, allows us to recognize realities in a precise space at a precise moment in time. Geography is used to win wars, to ensure food self-sufficiency, to take advantage of weather and climate conditions to adapt the community context, to ensure sustainable development and to keep power.The political geography of Turkey manifests itself in the description, observation and reflective analysis of past events, phenomena and contexts serving the memory and thinking of men in their management of the present.
