The European system and the Egyptian question 1827 - 1841: A study in the theory of balance of power

Abstract

AVRUPA' DAKI SİSTEM VE MISIR MESELESİ 1827 - 1841 GÜÇLER DENGESİ TEORİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR ÇALIŞMADIR. BU ÇALIŞMA, MISIR MESELESİNİN GERÇEKLERİNİ, GÜÇLER DENGESİ TEORİSİ MEKANİZMASIYLA İZAH ETMEYİ AMAÇLAMAKTADIR. DIGER BİR DEYİŞLE, MISIR MESELESİNİN, AVRUPA 'DAKI GÜÇLER DENGESİNİ NASIL ETKİLEDİ?İ, AYNI MEKANİZMANIN İSLETİLEREK MISIR'IN NASIL PASIFIZE EDİLDİ?İNE DAİR HİPOTEZDİR. AVRUPA 'DAKI ÖNEMLİ GUC ODAKLARININ EYLEMLERİNİN BU MEKANİZMADA NE DENLİ ETKİN OLDUGNUN KANITIDR. BİRİNCİ BOLUM, GUCLER DENGESİ TEORİSİNİN ANA KAVRAMLARINI AÇIKLAMAKTADIR, TAKIP EDEN BOLÜMDE, BU KAVRAMLARIN, `WESTPHALIA` ANTLAŞMASIYLA AVRUPA'DA BAŞLAYAN SİSTEME NASIL UYGULANDI?INI KAP SAMAKTADIR. UCUNCU BOLÜMDE, MISIR - AVRUPA BA?LANTISI VE GUCLER DENGESİ TEORİSİNİN MISIR ÜZERİNDE İSLETİLMESİNE YÖNELİKTİR. DÖRDÜN CÜ BOLUM, 1827, 1832-33 YILLARI MISIR'IN ISGAL EDİLMESİ VE BUNUN ETKİLERİ j SON BOLUM İSE, GUCLER DENGESİ MEKANİZMASININ İSLETİLEREK MISIR MESELESİNİN NASIL PASIFIZE EDİLDİ?İNİ ANLATMAKTADIR.

This work aims at explaining the events of the Egyptian Question through the tools of balance of power theory. It is the main hypothesis of this work that the Egyptian Question affected the balance of power in Europe, i.e. Equilibrium, and therefore, was subjected to the mechanics of balance of power. It is further believed that the reactions of the major European powers were in full conformity with this mechanics. The first chapter explains the theory of balance of power and its major concepts. In the following chapter, these concepts are applied to the European system of interstate relations, tracing it from the Treaty of Westphalia. The third chapter explains the link between Egypt and the European system, as well as the rise of the Egyptian Question. Chapter four deals with the effect of the Egyptian intervention in the Wars of Morea 1827, Anatolia 1832-3 and the European system. The final chapter is the mechanics of balance of power applied to pacify the Egyptian Question.
