Through a collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eOttoman and Turkish Law\u003c\/i\u003e explores this dream and shows that when Turks and their state start to believe law is above all, change will occur.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn these essays, author Fatih Öztürk provides unique perspectives on why Turkey, in the aftermath of Ottoman decline, requires a closer examination of its practices under the modern rule of law. Compiled and evaluated while Öztürk was living in Ireland, the articles, written from a constitutional law point of view, revolve around the question of how fundamental rights in a liberal democracy can be protected.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurthering the goal of achieving greater protection of human rights in modern democracies, \u003ci\u003eOttoman and Turkish Law\u003c\/i\u003e approaches the rule of law from the international perspective. It draws attention to the inability of the Turkish legal system to rid itself of arcane and outdated legal interpretations, practices, and traditions. It provides impetus for Turkey to move toward a more thorough, modern, and socially as well as historically relevant approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491729915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Fatih \u0026#195;\u0026#150;zt\u0026#195;\u0026#188;rk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280642900149,"sku":"9781491729915","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_233d2820-e13c-42f1-b9ea-9a0bdcf51848.jpg?v=1751468217","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ottoman-and-turkish-law-9781491729915","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
