My start in world history came later. Around the time I got tenure, my department decided, for comically bad reasons, to create a single world his…

The Ottoman Empire was patrimonialin organisation and Islamicin ideals and values: it was an Islamic sultanate, which also belonged to a larger category of patrimonial monarchies, or states conceived on the model of vastly extended households. At the centre, the Ottoman state consisted of the sultan and the dynasty, the ideas and values that legitimised the imperial system, the formal apparatus – organisational, regulatory and procedural – of gov…

In this sequel to his highly acclaimed Bureaucratic Reform in the Ottoman Empire, Carter Findley shifts focus from the organizational aspects of administrative reform and development to the officials themselves. A study in social history and its cultural and economic ramifications, Findley's new book critically reassesses Ottoman accomplishments and failures in turning an archaic scribal corps into an effective civil service.

Economic Bases of Revolution and Repression in the Late Ottoman Empire
Central to late Ottoman history is a series of events that marks a milestone in the emergence of modern forms of political thought and revolutionary action in the Islamic world. The sequence opened with the rise of the Young Ottoman ideologues (1865) and the constitutional movement of the 1870s.It continued with the repression of these forces under Abdülhamid 11 (1876-1909). It culminated with the resurgence of opposition in the Young Turk moveme…

The Advent of Ideology in the Islamic Middle East (Part I)
The Foundation of the Ottoman Foreign Ministry
Analysis of the late unreformed state of those offices of the Sublime Porte out of which the Ottoman Foreign Ministry was to develop makes clear, as we have shown in an earlier article, 1 that the possibilities for reform of the traditional bureaucracy were generally limited by two sets of determinants. One set, readily perceptible at what might be termed a macrohistorical level, consists of those largely exogenous forces which dominated the enti…
The Legacy of Tradition to Reform: Origins of the Ottoman Foreign Ministry
One of the most critical aspects of the efforts of nineteenth-century Ottoman statesmen to save the Empire lay, without doubt, in the field of bureaucratic reform. Within this field, moreover, the plight of the declining, traditional Empire in an age of expanding European power obviously marked the development of an effective Foreign Ministry as a matter of particular necessity. Yet, the efforts made to create such a ministry proved that here, as…
