Genius of Islam and Reform in Turkey in The Quarterly
The April issue of The British Quarterly includes two articles on Turkey, the second titled Reform in Turkey and Coercion. The reviewer argues these pieces are inferior to earlier Turkey papers and laments England’s missed chance to use its influence to push reform in Turkey.

Policy Critique on Turkish Reforms and Russian Mobilisation
The piece argues the Turkish reforms are hampered by British Foreign Office inaction while Russia pressures via potential mobilization. It urges appointing a highly capable administrator in Constantinople to guide reform, and notes mixed reception of various other colonial and scholarly topics reviewed in the London Quarterly. It highlights concerns over Turkey’s misrule and calls for decisive Western support to avert broader international peril.
