Shattering empires: the clash and collapse of the Ottoman and Russian Empires, 1908 - 1918
"The break-up of the Ottoman empire and the disintegration of the Russian empire were watershed events in modern history. The unraveling of these empires was both cause and consequence of World War I and resulted in the deaths of millions. It irrevocably changed the landscape of the Middle East and Eurasia and reverberates to this day in conflicts throughout the Caucasus and Middle East. Shattering Empires draws on extensive research in the Ottoman and Russian archives to tell the story of the rivalry and collapse of two great empires. Overturning accounts that portray their clash as one of conflicting nationalisms, this pioneering study argues that geopolitical competition and the emergence of a new global interstate order provide the key to understanding the course of history in the Ottoman-Russian borderlands in the twentieth century.

The East's Eastern Front: The Ottoman–Russian Clash in the Great War and Its Legacies
In: War in history, S. 096834451982733
ISSN: 1477-0385
This article provides an overview of the neglected Caucasian front of the First World War and explores its impact on the overall course of the war and its legacy for the Middle East and Eurasia. By unexpectedly prolonging hostilities and leading the Russian empire to overextend itself, the conflict with the Ottoman empire contributed critically to Russia's revolutionary crisis and collapse and thereby altered decisively the fate of the Middle East and Eurasia. The article places the Ottoman–Russian conflict in the context of the relentless growth of Western European military and economic might from the eighteenth century onward.

In: Global discourse: an interdisciplinary journal of current affairs and applied contemporary thought, Band 3, Heft 1, S. 120-128
ISSN: 2043-7897
Contrary to arguments that the financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent economic difficulties of the United States presage a decline in American power in general and American intervention in foreign societies in particular, this article suggests that technological advances may allow the United States to maintain or even increase its coercive capabilities over foreign societies.
