Extract

This project started as an update of the volume by Ward and Rustow on political modernization in Japan and Turkey. I think we all agree that we have moved on to something entirely different, and original. Comparisons of Japan and Turkey in terms of industrialization, westernization and so forth are obviously quite absurd, but what still has validity is the question of how these two non-Western societies encountered the West and modernity. The paper will focus on questions of perceptions and mentalities which have not been discussed at length previously. In this paper, I will look at some general themes in the beginning, and then focus more specifically on the encounters of several Ottomans with the West in comparison with the experience of their Japanese counterparts.
