Abstract

Her nekadar iki şehir, Birleşik Krallık’ın kuzeybatısında yer alan
Manchester Şehri ve Türkiye’nin kuzeydoğusunda yer alan Trabzon (eski adıyla
“Trapezus”) şehri birbirinden çok uzak görünse de aslında, geçmişten günümüze
pekçok“şaşırtıcı” ortak noktalar paylaşarak birbirine çok yakındırlar. Bu
bağlamda, söylenebilir ki her ikisi de “altın çağları”nı 19.yüzyılda yaşamış ve
hızlarını da 20. yüzyılda ülkelerindeki hem iç ve hem de dış “dünyadaki
değişim”den kaynaklı olarak kaybetmişlerdir. 19.yüzyılda kapitalizmin merkezi
olan Manchester, Endüstriyel Devrimin fabrikası ve uluslararası ticaret merkezi
haline gelmiştir. O zamanlarda, Manchester’dan çok uzakta, Trabzon da
güneydoğuda geçmişte Pers olarak bilinen İran ile kuzeydoğuda Kafkasya’yı
birbirine bağlayan tarihi İpek Yolu üzerindeki stratejik konumu sayesinde
“altın çağını” yaşamaktaydı. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma bu iki şehri “şaşırtıcı”
ortak taraflarını ortaya koymak için altın çağları ve çöküşleri açısından
Gelecekte Güçlerini Yeniden Kazanma Olasılıklarıyla beraber karşılaştırmayı
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma ortaya koymaktadır ki 19. yüzyıl sadece her iki şehrin
de “altın çağları”nı yaşamış olduğu bir dönem değil, aynı zamanda Tebriz yada
Tahran’a varmak için Trabzon’dan geçen Manchester’lı gezgin ve tekstilciler
sayesinde iki şehrin de gerçek bağlantılar kurmaya fırsat bulmuş olduğu bir
dönem olmuştur.

THE COMPARISON OF THE TWO CITIES, MANCHESTER AND TRABZON, IN TERMS OF THEIR GOLDEN AGES AND DOWNTURNS WITH THE FUTURE REGAINING POWER POLICIES

Abstract

Although the two cities, Manchester city of The United
Kingdom (UK), located on the northwest of the UK and Trabzon (formerly known as
“Trapezus”) of Turkey, located on the northeast of Turkey, seem so far away
from each other, they indeed very close to each other by sharing several
“surprising” common elements from past to present. In this regard, it can be
said that both had experienced their “golden ages” in the 19^th
century and lost their momentum in the 20^th century stemming from
the “changing world” in and out of their countries. Having being the centre of
the capitalism Manchester became the factory of the Industrial Revolution and
an international trade centre. At those times, far away from Manchester Trabzon
was also experiencing her “golden age” by thanks to her strategic location
which is on the historical Silk Road connecting Iran (formerly known as Persia)
in the southeast and Caucasus in the northeast. In this regard, this paper aims
at comparing the two cities in terms of their Golden Ages and Downturns in
order to put their “surprising” common parts with the Future Regaining Power
Possibilities. The paper finds out that 19th Century was not only the era in
which both cities had their golden ages but also it was an era in which they
had chance to have real connections thanks to the travellers and textiles of
Manchester that pass through Trabzon to reach to Tabriz or Teheran.
