Product description
The success of the ottoman empire lay in its ability to manage diversity. If you want to understand how empires are built, how they spread and flourish, and how they crumble and fade away, then read barkey's "the empire of difference: the ottomans." An impressive landscape: you will see that barkey, with his analyses illuminated by comparisons with neighboring empires, demonstrates a rare skill in mastering the six hundred-year history of the ottoman empire.
” — james c.
scott “the ottoman empire was one of the most successful and long-lasting examples of legitimate rule over a highly diverse population in terms of religion, language, and culture. Karen barkey convincingly argues that this success was due to the ottomans' ability to maintain inclusivity and tolerance.
based on a rich literature, it makes a compelling case. The ottoman example will now take its rightful place in the ongoing discussions about empires. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to engage in intelligent discussions about the empire.
” — çağlar keyder * * * how did the ottoman empire survive for centuries? How did he manage to unite people of different faiths, languages, and cultures under a single roof? What flexible mechanisms did the state use in managing social diversity and dissent? Was the secret of the longevity of the empire hidden in its military power or in the networks of relationships it had established? How did the negotiations between the center and the periphery, “tolerance” policies and intermediary institutions shape the functioning of the system? How did this flexible structure transform during the transition from the empire to the nation-state? In this groundbreaking work, karen barkey places the ottoman empire within a comparative perspective, contrasting it with the roman, byzantine, habsburg, and russian empires, to scrutinize the empire's organizational structure and longevity. Focusing on the ottomans' ability to manage "diversities," their negotiated relationship between state and society, and their flexible approach to governance, this study sociologically delves into the process spanning from the empire's rise to the throes of modernization. Barkey approaches ottoman history not as a mere sequence of events, but as a constantly evolving network of relationships and connections. The differences empire is an indispensable reference source not only for those interested in ottoman history, but also for readers who think about comparative history, historical sociology, and state, power, diversity, and political order.
