Ebook: Partners of the empire: the crisis of the Ottoman order in the Age of Revolutions

'Partners of Empire' offers a radical rethinking of the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Over this unstable period, the Ottoman Empire faced political crises, institutional shakeups, and popular insurrections. It responded through various reform options and settlements. New institutional configurations emerged; constitutional texts were codified-and annulled. The empire became a political theater where different actors struggled, collaborated, and competed on conflicting agendas and opposing interests. This work takes a holistic look at the era, interested not simply in central reforms or in regional developments, but in their interactions.
