Milliyetçilik ve Sonrası

Rate this book
Published in 1945,  Nationalism and After  was a best-selling classic in its own time which sparked intense debate when it first appeared and has continued to do so ever since. Authored in a moment of hope, E.H. Carr’s uncompromising critique of nationalism and plea for a more rational international order remains as relevant today as it did when it was first written. As the world is once again confronted by a rising tide of nationalism, Nationalism and After remains a beacon of hope in an era where reasoned critical analysis has never been more urgently required. It is here reissued in full with a new, definitive introduction by leading Carr scholar, Michael Cox.

About the author

Edward Hallett Carr

153 books233 followers
Edward Hallett Carr was a liberal realist and later left-wing British historian, journalist and international relations theorist, and an opponent of empiricism within historiography.

Carr was best known for his 14-volume history of the Soviet Union, in which he provided an account of Soviet history from 1917 to 1929, for his writings on international relations, and for his book What Is History?, in which he laid out historiographical principles rejecting traditional historical methods and practices.

Educated at Cambridge, Carr began his career as a diplomat in 1916. Becoming increasingly preoccupied with the study of international relations and of the Soviet Union, he resigned from the Foreign Office in 1936 to begin an academic career. From 1941 to 1946, Carr worked as an assistant editor at The Times, where he was noted for his leaders (editorials) urging a socialist system and an Anglo-Soviet alliance as the basis of a post-war order. Afterwards, Carr worked on a massive 14-volume work on Soviet history entitled A History of Soviet Russia, a project that he was still engaged in at the time of his death in 1982. In 1961, he delivered the G. M. Trevelyan lectures at the University of Cambridge that became the basis of his book, What is History?. Moving increasingly towards the left throughout his career, Carr saw his role as the theorist who would work out the basis of a new international order.

Edward Hallett Carr'ın "Milliyetçilik ve Sonrası" adlı eseri, milliyetçilik kavramını tarihsel ve ekonomik bağlamına oturtmak için güzel bir metin. Milliyetçilik ilk filizlendiği zamanlarda ne kadar özgürlükçü olsa da günümüzde ulus devletlerin çatışan çıkarlarına göre uyarlanan pragmatik bir kavramdır. Carr'ın anlattıklarını hep Türkiye bağlamına oturtmaya çalışarak yaptığım bir okuma oldu. Kitabı okurken aklıma Demirtaş'ın son zamanlarda dediği bir kesit geldi. Demirtaş diyor ki, “Bazen herkes Türk'tür. Bazen sadece Türkler Türk'tür. Bazen Kürtler Türk'tür. Bazen Kürtler Kürt'tür. Bazen Kürtler yoktur. Bazen de bütün dünya Türk'tür. Duruma ve ihtiyaca göre değişen pragmatist bir Türklük tanımı yaratıldı.” Carr, milliyetçiliğin neden aşılması gerektiğini özlü bir biçimde ortaya koymuş. İlâveten, ulus-devlet güdümündeki milliyetçiliğin en görünür olduğu yer "Devlet Aklı" söylemi olabilir. İnsanların kendi uluslarını önceleyerek yaptığı her türlü söyleme de karşı çıkmak gerekir.

Bolşevik Devrimi eseriyle tanıştığım tarihçi-yazar, bu sefer milliyetçiliği felsefi ve kavramsal olarak incelemektense tarihçi kimliğine uygun şekilde sosyo-politik, sosyo-ekonomik ve uluslararası ilişkiler açısından ele almış. Dönemlere ayırarak inceleme yaptıktan sonra da enternasyonalizmin geleceği hakkında tahminlerine yer vermiş.

Eseri layığıyla okuyabilmek için 18. - 20. yy tarih ve uluslararası ilişkiler bilgisi gerekiyor ki yer yer zorlandığımı inkar etmeyeceğim.
