THE POLICY OF GEOCULTURAL DETERMINISM IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE'S CENTRAL ASIAN STRATEGY
F.A. Shoqulov ,Abstract
This article analyzes the geocultural relations of the Ottoman Empire (subsequently the Republic of Turkey) toward the Central Asian region during the first quarter of the 20th century. It delineates the developmental stages of cultural ties between the two regions during the eras of the Russian Empire and Bolshevik rule. Furthermore, the study examines the transition of these relations from mere cultural influence "soft power" into systematic cooperation in the fields of education and science "intellectual integration", while also investigating the underlying causes of their politicization. Utilizing new scientific sources, the article systematically elucidates the convergence of the regional Jadid movement representatives - particularly the Bukharan and Khivan Jadids with the Ottoman educational system, as well as the activities of societies such as "Komak".
Keywords
geo-cultural determinism, soft power, cultural code, jadidism, intellectual integration, Turkestan, Turkey, Ottoman Empire, Komak Society.
