YASIN KEREM GÜMÜS, MALANG B. S. BOJANG.
Foreign policy decision making in microstates: The case of Gambia.
New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In English. 126 p. This book aims to explore and determine which domestic factor(s) are more decisive in The Gambia's foreign policy decision-making. The book further investigates whether The Gambia's traditional liberal foreign policy of the First Republic has change direction under the Second Republic and if it does, what are the factors responsible for such foreign policy reorientation under Jammeh. Employing the neo-classical realism theory, data has been collected for this book from both primary and secondary sources. The findings of this book have shown that domestic factors are more compelling in Gambia's foreign policy decision-making. We observed that personality and character of the leader, economic development and natural resources, and diplomacy are too strong and decisive in foreign policy formulation in The Gambia. Equally, our book also shows that external factors such as international organization and alliance formation are significant in foreign policy making in The Gambia. Foreign policy formulation in The Gambia is highly personalized, centralized and bureaucratic in nature. Since previous research to some extent, failed to show the nexus between domestic politics and small states foreign policy making, this book could be a valuable reference material for both scholars and policy makers.

YIRMI SEKIZZÂDE MEHMED ÇELEBI, (1670-1732).
Paris sefaretnâmesi: Sultan Ahmed-i Sânî tarafindan 1132 senesinde Fransa krali onbesinci Lui nezdine gönderilen ricâl-i bâb-i âliyeden Yirmisekiz Mehmed efendinin takrîridir.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Pages are untrimmed and not opened. 12mo. (17 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 151 p. Hegira-Hijri: 1306 = Gregorian: 1889. Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi Efendi (died 1732), also Mehmed Efendi (sometimes spelled Mehemet Effendi in France), was an Ottoman statesman who was delegated as ambassador by the Sultan Ahmed III to Louis XV's France in 1720. He is remembered for his account of his embassy mission (a sefâretnâme, 'book of embassy'). Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi was born in Edirne to a family of Georgian descent. His date of birth is unknown. He is the son of an officer in the Janissary corps, Süleyman Aga, who died during a campaign to Pécs. Mehmed Çelebi himself was enrolled in the Janissary corps, and since he had served in the 28th battalion ("orta" in Janissary terminology) of the corps, he came to be known with the nickname Yirmisekiz ("twenty-eight" in Turkish) for his entire life. His descendants, including his son who became a grand vizier, also carried the name in the form of Yirmisekizzade ('son of twenty-eight'). He rose through the military hierarchy and then oriented his career to the service of the finances of the state, as superintendent for the Ottoman mint first, and as chief imperial accountant (defterdar) by the reign of Ahmed III. In 1720, while in that position, he was assigned as Ottoman ambassador to Louis XV's France and sent to Paris. His embassy of eleven months was notable for being the first ever foreign representation of a permanent nature for the Ottoman Empire. On his return to the Ottoman capital, Mehmed Çelebi presented his contacts, experiences and observations to the Sultan in the form of a book. His sefâretnâme is one of the most important examples of the homonymous genre, both for its literary merits and in terms of the insights it provides on his time and environment. He describes his journey to France, the 40-days quarantine in Toulon for fear of plague, his journey through Bordeaux towards Paris, his reception by Louis XV, the ceremonies and the social events to which he participated, notably a night at the theatre, places of interest in Paris, the curiosity with which he examines the Western culture and the curiosity he aroused among his Western interlocutors, for instance his days of fasting in Ramadan becoming a reason for public gathering for curious Parisian women. Aside from setting the pace and nature of the long-term trend of Westernization in the Ottoman Empire, his embassy also had immediate repercussions in the Ottoman Empire, notably in the form of the first printing house managed by Ibrahim Müteferrika, a Hungarian convert, which published books in Turkish, having been opened in the same year of 1720 as a direct consequence of Mehmed Çelebi's mission in Paris, and under the personal protection and auspices of his son Yirmisekizzade Mehmed Said Pasha, later grand vizier. Constantinople's renowned Sadabad Gardens, one of the symbols of the Tulip Era were also largely inspired by the gardening techniques used in Tuileries Palace, described in length by the author/ambassador. His book was translated into French in 1757 and also into other Western languages afterwards. (Source: Wikipedia). Özege 17660. Koray 1870. Second Edition. Rare.

YUSUF ZIYA ORTAÇ, (1895-1967).
[Autograph letter signed 'Ortaç'].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph letter signed 'Ortaç' by Yusuf Ziya Ortaç to an unknown friend of him. 2 p. Full. In Ottoman script. 'Akbaba' satiric magazine's letterhead with its address in its period, Klodfarer (Claude Farer) Street, Istanbul. It's written with an interesting satiric style of Ortaç and it mentions 50's Turkey. It starts as 'Aziz kardesim, dostum, efendim'. He told that he received his friend's letter and upon this he wrote 'after I've read your letter, I felt like I've seen and heard you, it was like a "fondness feast!'". And he mentions 'Turkish nation' by criticizing as 'This nation knows only just forgiveness! They forgive superabundant; they forget fabrics, chimneys; but never forget some things!'. A rare and very collectible autograph.
