What urges this article is the curious dearth of research on the history of international relations
discipline in Turkey. The article aims to shed light on the factual historical development
as well as the line of progress that the discipline has taken from 1859 to 1945. The courses
on international relations were called international law in the curricula of Ottoman higher
education institutions. International law became the standard course in which professors
actually taught international relations. A study of textbooks on international law, both from
the Ottoman period and early Republican Turkey, provided ample opportunities to recover
the conceptual history of the discipline. Meanwhile, it was also possible to demonstrate the
institutional history and development of the discipline with respect to courses and professors.
Last but not the least, some themes, subjects and major changes in the content of the courses
over time have been uncovered.
