Professor Rabil’s new book, "Lebanon and Turkey: Historical Contexts and Contemporary Realities," investigates Ottoman and Turkish policy in the Levant (Israel, Lebanon, and Syria) against the background of Western and regional policies. It examines the overlooked Great Famine (1915–1918) within the context of the Great War and the Armenian genocide. Considered as Levantine Christian genocide by starvation committed by Ottoman leader Jamal Pasha, the Great Famine led to the death of a third of the Population of Mount Lebanon and Beirut. The book also analyzes Turkey’s Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) foreign policy approach, known as neo-Ottomanism, towards the Levant, highlighting Turkish interest in the Levant (and the Eastern Mediterranean) and locating Levant-Turkey relations along a historical continuum. The book concludes with an assessment of Turkish foreign policy and outlook against the background of the emergence of a multipolar international order. Professor Rabil will be available for a book signing in immediately following this lecture.
