The core of this edited volume originates from a special issue of the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association (JOTSA) that goes well beyond the special issue to incorporate the stimulating discussions and insights of two Middle East Studies Association conference roundtables and the important work of additional scholars in order to create a state-of-the-field volume on Ottoman sociolegal studies, particularly regarding Ottoman international law from the eighteenth century to the end of the empire. It makes several important contributions to Ottoman and Turkish studies, namely, by introducing these disciplines to the broader fields of trans-imperial studies, comparative international law, and legal history. Combining the best practices of diplomatic history and history from below to integrate the Ottoman Empire and its subjects into the broader debates of the nineteenth-century trans-imperial history this unique volume represents the exciting work and cutting-edge scholarship on these topics that will continue to shape the field in years to come.
The Ottoman Empire covered a vast territory for more than five centuries and was therefore a multi-ethnic and multicultural state from the very beginning. Due to the need to negotiate military, political and economic matters both within and outside its borders, the state relied on the services of interpreters. However, despite the multicultural and linguistically diverse communication in the Ottoman Empire, the practice of translation was not formally institutionalised by the state. Until the modernisation efforts of the 18th century, translation was mainly seen as a facilitating or ancillary activity in the diplomatic context. The primary aim of this collection is to comprehensively analyse...
Is it possible to generate "capitalist spirit" in a society, where cultural, economic and political conditions did not unfold into an industrial revolution, and consequently into an advanced industrial-capitalist formation? This is exactly what some prominent public intellectuals in the late Ottoman Empire tried to achieve as a developmental strategy; long before Max Weber defined the notion of capitalist spirit as the main motive behind the development of capitalism. This book demonstrates how and why Ottoman reformists adapted (English and French) economic theory to the Ottoman institutional setting and popularized it to cultivate bourgeois values in the public sphere as a developmental st...

Talat PaÅŸa Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin labaratuvarı olarak bilinen II. MeÅŸrutiyet döneminde yaÅŸamış "kurt" bir siyasetçi ve etkili bir devlet adamıydı. O Ä°ttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti'nin "teÅŸkilatçı" liderlerinden biriydi. Dönemin Ä°stanbul'daki Alman Büyükelçisi Kühlmann'ın, Talat PaÅŸa'nın "zayıf tarafı" olarak, onun "çok fazla vatanperver olmasını" göstermesi tartışılabilir. Zira Kühlmann'a göre fazla vatanperver olmanın "dünyayı belli bir yere kadar anlamak" ve "olayları tarafsız bir ÅŸekilde analiz edememek" gibi olumsuz bir getirisi vardı. Buna, dar ufuklu ve dünyayı tam olarak anlayamamak da denilebilir. Kühmann'ın bu tesbiti belki "fanatikler" iÃ...
