FRANK’IN “YENİDEN DOĞU”SU ÜZERİNE DÜŞÜNCELER

Аннотация

This article deals with Andre Gunder Frank’s book named ReORIENT: Global
Economy in Asian Age. After a brief introduction of the contents of the book,
Frank’s new view-points are discussed in detail. During this discussion Frank’s
arguments on World history are compared with the regional studies, such as
Central Asian and Chinese studies. At the end, some comments are made on
Frank’s new approach to the 16th-19th centuries World history which can be
summarized as a non-West-centered (indeed Chinese-centered) macro-history.
