Formerly the Center for Turkish and Ottoman Studies, this research group is the result of the fusion in 1990 between the Institute of Turkish Studies (University Paris 3) directed by Louis Bazin and a unit specialising in Ottoman history within the Center of Studies on Russia, Eastern Europe and the Turkish domain founded by Alexandre Bennigsen (at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes des Sciences Sociales). The group was christened the CEToBaC in 2010 and is dedicated to the study of both the past and present of Turkish language populations over a wide geographical space. The research conducted by the CEToBaC is not limited to the study of these peoples but also to their relations with neighbouring groups from a political, economic and cultural viewpoint. |
