SUMMARY
Öz Misir, dogu-bati güzergâhinin en önemli bölgesi olan Akdeniz havzasinin batiya açilan kapisi konumunda olmasindan her devirde büyük devletlerin dikkatlerini üzerine çekmis ve ilgi odagi olmustur. Misir’in stratejik önemi, 19. yüzyila geldigimizde Fransa ve Ingiltere’nin bu ülkeye yönelik sömürge faaliyetlerinin nedenini olusturmustur. Gerek Avrupa devletlerinin Misir’daki sömürge faaliyetleri, gerekse Misir’in Osmanli Devleti’ne olan uzakligi bu ülkede çesitli fikir akimlarinin olusmasina da katki saglamistir. Özellikle Misir aydinlarinin Osmanli hilafetine bakisi ve farkli milliyetçilik anlayislarinin ortaya çikmasi bunlardan birkaçini olusturmustur. Misir ve bu ülkede yasayan entelektüeller üzerinde Islamcilik ve milliyetçiligin etkisi derinden hissedilmekte idi. Misir’daki entelektüellerden Ahmet Sevki’yi seçmemizin nedeni, onun Türk asilli Arap olmasi ve yasadigi dönemde II. Abdülhamit’e ve Osmanli hilafetine olan bagliligi idi. Bu dönemde Misir’da milliyetçilik kavrami birkaç farkli sekilde algilaniyordu. Ahmet Sevki’nin milliyetçilik anlayisi Osmanli Hilafetine Bagli Misir Milliyetçiligi idi. Hilafete bagli oldugundan Islam Birligi düsüncesine sahip; Misir’a olan sevgisi yönüyle de milliyetçi bir entelektüel olan Ahmet Sevki’nin Islam birligi düsüncesi ve milliyetçi yönü bu çalismanin ana konusunu olusturmaktadir.Abstract Egypt is in the position of the gateway of the Mediterranean basin to the West which is the most significant region of eastern-western route. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of big countries and has been a center of interest every era. The strategic importance of Egypt in 19th century always drew the high attention of France and Great Britain to exploit the area. Moreover; Egypt could not be totally attached to the Ottoman Empire because of the distance to the Sublime Porte. Both the distance to the Sublime Porte and the exploitation activities of European countries led to bring about different movement of thought in Egypt. Especially, the idea of Egyptian intellectuals to the Ottoman Empire and different nationalism approaches are some of these different movement of thought in Egypt. The effects of Islamism and Nationalism have been felt deeply especially by the intellectuals living in Egypt. The reason why Ahmad Shawqi was chosen among these intellectuals is that he was originally Turkish and was deeply attached to Abdulhamit II and to the caliphate during his life-time. The nationalism idea was being recognized in some different ways in Egypt at that time. The nationalism idea of Ahmad Shawqi was based on the Egyptian Nationalism attached to the Ottoman Caliphate. Ahmad Shawqi’s Union of Islam and Nationalism idea is the core of this study. Shawqi has got the Union of Islam idea since he was attached to the caliphate and is a nationalist intellectual because of his compassion to Egypt.
