This study deals with the basic principles that underlie the Turkish security policy, since the end of the 2nd World War. The author analyses some of the security problems dealt with by the Turkish government in the seventies and eighties, with a focus on the internal economic problems. In reviewing its security policy, Turkey faces difficult options: the independent line versus NATO, the Non-Aggression Treaty with the Soviet Union, either a non-alignment stands or a leaning towards the Middle Eastern or Islamic trends. The author concludes that Turkey will not take any of these options in the near future, but, more probably, will only put some gradual modifications to its original path. (DÜI-Sdt)

Despite the short time of the GCC's experiment, an assessment of it, according to its motives, creation and theories that command the cooperation, can be made and be compared with the results that have been gained since the birth of the GCC.

In the Islamic middle ages, urban histories were for the most part not the kind of chronicle that one might think, covering the political, economic, or cultural history of a particular city over a certain time. Instead, they were a kind of ʿwhoʾs whoʾ directory of names of a cityʾs prominent inhabitants, mostly from as far back as information would be available until the lifetime of the author. In the case of the city of Nishapur, which saw its greatest blossoming between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, there is al-Ḥākim al-Nīshāpūrīʾs (d. 405/1014) foundational Taʾrīkh Nīsābūr , an Arabic work—now lost—on which many later biographers relied. Al-Ḥākimʾs work was continued by ʿAbd al-Ghāfir al-Fārisī (d. 529/1134) in his al-Siyāq li-Taʾrīkh Nīsābūr . The text published here is described as a partial summary of al-Fārisīʾs work, although Frye in his The Histories of Nishapur (p. 10) still regarded it as a fragment of the Siyāq itself
