In “İmparatorluğun Savaş Kararı”, the authors mainly discuss the reasons why an empire, which was on
the verge of disintegration, became involved in a war between the Great Powers of Europe and whose
conditions ultimately precipitated the end of that state. In attempting to answer these questions, they
explain the decision to go to war in light of neoclassical realist theory rather than stereotypical ideas
such as “the only option for the Ottoman Empire was to enter into war” or “Enver Pasha put the
Ottoman Empire into war”, which are frequently repeated in the literature. As is understood, previous
studies either focus on personal decisions (especially Enver Pasha and his team) and neglect systemic
factors or focus on systemic factors (the change in balance of power that happened before World War
I in Europe) and neglect the decision-making mechanisms of ruling groups and the way local politics
worked. However, the authors of this book take a more complementary approach and attempt to merge
the decision-making mechanisms of ruling groups and systemic factors.
