Unveiling the checkered fortunes of the Ottoman EmpireValentina Dimitrova-Grajzl, 2008, drugi sestavni deli
Opis: The Ottoman Empire has been predominantly viewed as the ćSick Man of Europe.ć The question arises, however, how this perceived inefficiency can be reconciled with the long existence and prosperity of the Empire. I argue that the Ottoman system could have been efficient subject to constraints. More specifically, I explore the role of the technology of predation and the adherence to the law in determining relative changes in the social order and the power of the Sultan, which in turn led to the relative decline of the Empire.
Ključne besede: Ottoman Empire, predation, social classes
