Post-Ottoman studies

Post-Ottoman studies is an academic field that examines the history, culture, politics, and social changes in regions formerly controlled by the Ottoman Empire after its dissolution in the early 20th century. It explores how new nations emerged, identities were reshaped, and connections to Ottoman heritage influenced modern developments. Researchers analyze factors like nationalism, migration, and geopolitics to understand the complex transition from empire to independent states, often focusing on areas in the Middle East, Southeast Europe, and North Africa. This field helps explain contemporary issues rooted in the legacy of Ottoman history.
