Bodrum+ Institute will be organizing the Summer School for “Archeopolitics: The Invention of State and its Evolution” between 19-24 May 2024 in Bodrum-Türkiye, the place where history and contemporary Bodrum life are blended to create a perfect academic atmosphere.

The program will focus on “The Invention of State and its Evolution.” Thus the “50 thousand years of human history” will be re-evaluated basically in the light of the latest data particularly unearthed in recent (mostly Neolithic) excavations in Anatolia.

Students fulfilling class requirements will be awarded a certificate of 3 ECTS credits. Students who prefer not to take the assessment will not be given 3 ECTS requirements, instead, they will be given a certificate of attendance, showing their participation.

  • Master’s or PhD students are encouraged to attend,
  • The course is mainly for Archaeology, Political Science, International Relations, and for other Social Science programs,
