What are the causes of imperial decline? This work studies the Ottoman empire in the 18th and 19th centuries to argue that the Ottoman imperial decline resulted from a combination of Ottoman internal dynamics with external influences. Specifically, it contends that the split within the Ottoman social structure across ethno-religious lines interacted with the effects of war and commerce with the West to produce a bifurcated Ottoman bourgeoisie. This bourgeoisie, divided into disparate commercial and bureaucratic elements, was able to challenge the sultan but was ultimately unable to salvage the empire. Instead, the Ottoman empire was replaced by the Turkish nation-state and others in the Balkans and the Middle East. This work will appeal to students of sociology and Ottoman studies.

Industry Reviews

"[A] stimulating study....Her ideas concerning what Ottoman inheritance documents reveal about society are novel, as are her definitions of the bourgeoisies in late Ottoman history. The book should interest not only students of Ottoman studies but also all those concerned with the problem of Westernization in the Third World, particularly sociologists."--CHOICE "[A] valuable contribution to the neglected field of Ottoman social history"--American Historical Review "The book offers numerous innovative ideas about Ottoman history."--Journal of Social History "[A] stimulating, thought-provoking work"--The Journal of Interdisciplinary History "[A]n important contribution to the study of class formation and social change. The book is concise yet rich in detail, well researched, and grounded in historical evidence from both primary and secondary sources."--American Journal of Sociology "A mine of information, it has original, trenchant observations and occasional profound insights. It also contains a rich and very useful bibliography."--The Historian
