Ayşe Zarakol is a Turkish academic teaching international politics at the University of Cambridge[1] where she is a Professor of International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Studies and a Politics Fellow at Emmanuel College.[2] She is known for her work on world order, sovereignty and East-West relations.[3] She was made a fellow of the British Academy for the humanities and social sciences in 2024.[4]
Early life and education[edit]
Zarakol was born in Ankara. Her father is cartoonist and director Cihan Zarakol and her mother is public relations consultant Necla Zarakol.[5] After spending a year as an International Affairs Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C., she joined the University of Cambridge in 2013.[6]
Works[edit]
Zarakol's contributions to international relations can be categorized under two main headings. Her early work focused on the social hierarchies between East and West since the 19th century.[7] Her first book After Defeat: How the East Learned to Live with the West was published in 2011. The book focuses on the inclusion of internationally defeated and non-Western powers (Turkey after the First World War, Japan after the Second World War and Russia after the Cold War) into the international order.[8] Her second book, Before The West, focuses on Eastern world orders between the 13th and 17th centuries, orders comparable in some ways to the modern international order.[9] She argues that the Mongol Empire was a politically unifying moment for Asia and, like the Roman Empire for Europe, has a legacy that extends into subsequent centuries. It also develops a broader definition of sovereignty and makes important interventions in contemporary debates on international crisis. Before the West has won six book prizes.[10]
Zarakol has written pieces on Turkey for general audiences, in outlets such as Foreign Policy,[11] Project Syndicate[12] and the London Review of Books blog.[13]
Zarakol was the 2023 recipient of the Koç Medal of Science, given annually to one scholar of Turkish origin for outstanding contributions to their discipline.[14][15][16]
