The purpose of this roundtable, like that of the preceding one, was to develop new ideas and fresh insight from a small group of international participants with a view to contributing to the ongoing debates on the shaping of a post-Western world. Both of these conferences drew upon the work done by the Transatlantic Academy over the past two years, but they were not confined solely to the issues taken up by the Transatlantic Academy fellows. The first conference held in Istanbul on May 22-23, 2013, took as its point of departure the Transatlantic Academy's 2013 report, Transatlantic Disconnect: Citizenship and Accountability in the Transatlantic Community. 2 The questions that arose in that meeting have been incorporated in the conference report Considering the Future of the Liberal Order: Hope, Despair and Anticipation. 3

Its mission is to foster academic research in social sciences and its application to policy making. The IPC team is firmly committed to providing decision-makers, opinion leaders, academics, and the general public with innovative and objective analyses in key domestic and foreign policy issues. IPC has expertise in a wide range of areas, including-but not exhaustive to-Turkey-EU-U.S. relations, education, climate change, current trends of political and social transformation in Turkey, as well as the impact of civil society and local governance on this metamorphosis. The Mercator-IPC Fellowship Program is the cornerstone of the IPC-Sabancı University-Stiftung Mercator Initiative. The program aims to strengthen the academic, political, and social ties between Turkey and Germany, as well as Turkey and Europe, by facilitating excellent scientific research and hands-on policy work. It is based on the belief that in an increasingly globalized world, the acquisition of knowledge and an exchange of ideas and people are the preconditions for meeting the challenges of the 21st century.

The various chapters combine aspects of recent history, societal creeds and beliefs and overall cumbersome democratic development in Turkey with more strategic aspects, related to geopolitics, energy resources and maintaining allies and influence in the post-Soviet space and the Balkans.

Outside of Turkey, only a handful of historians of the older generation who witnessed the birth of the Republic were interested in contemporary history, but those who were would often divorce their treatment of the evolution of modern Turkey from all but its most immediate antecedents. Modern Turkish history was viewed as a process that began after the replacement of indigenous institutions with those adopted by westernizers.1 Meanwhile in Turkey, the intelligentsia, whose ranks then included the members of the academic profession, were taking stock of the Turkish revitalization, rewriting history to stress the Turkish (rather than Ottoman) past and attempting to reinforce the nation-building program by inculcating a sense of national unity based on a common cultural past of the Turkish-speaking people.2
