Unlike the studies that have so far focused on a particular period, region, or an entrepreneurial family through one specific set of archival material, we will examine two prominent families, Karaosmanoğlu and Baltazzi, who rose as successive big çiftlik holders in Western Anatolia. To do so, first, we will analyze in a more detailed way the character of the new entrepre- neurs and the subsequent transformation in the class configuration of the Ottoman governing classes. In the later part of the article, we will study the histories of the Karaosmanoğlu and then the Baltazzi families, with a special focus on their çiftlik-holding practices.

Such an analysis historicizes the transformation that justice of the peace courts underwent in the 19th century. It therefore seeks to free these courts from being regarded as an ahistorical extrajudicial and/or judicial dispute settlement mechanism (sulh).

Our second article by Alp Yücel Kaya, entitled “Bourgeois Revolution in Turkey (1908-1923)”, analyzes the making of bourgeois revolution in Turkey. Kaya argues that although 1908 was the first and 1923 the final stage of this revolution, it is a product of class struggles that spread over an even longer period of time, and which emerged in the process of the development of capitalism. In the article, he therefore discusses the main stages of these struggles and the making of the bourgeois revolutions of 1908 and 1923. Accepting that there are some very competent studies on the question of the bourgeois revolution in Turkey and the revolutions of 1908 and 1923 (those of Hikmet Kıvılcımlı and Sungur Savran) he proceeds through the framework laid out by these studies, but unlike them, he pays more attention to the making of the bourgeoisie, intra-class and inter-class conflicts, and especially to the legal regulations that these conflicts have produced; in other words, he discusses the making of the bourgeois revolution through the making of bourgeois law. He focuses on the making of bourgeois law to reveal better the struggles within the bourgeois class as well as the struggles between classes, and in this way, he develops a different perspective on Turkey’s long bourgeois revolution.

Çalışmaların içerik ve yöntem açısından çeşitliliği bir yandan akademik hayatı boyunca ilgilendiği konuların geniş yelpazesine işaret ederken, bir yandan da düşünsel kaynaklarının temel yapıtaşları ve onlar arasında kurduğu benzersiz ve aydınlatıcı bağlantıların izlerini taşıyor. Bu kitabın içindeki çalışmaları üç başlık altında sınıflandırmak mümkün. Birinci grupta Milli İktisat üzerine, Osmanlı-Türk iktisadi düşünce yazınını “ulusal yaklaşım” diyebileceğimiz bir perspektif içinde değerlendiren, kimi göz ardı edilmiş özgünlük ve devamlılıklara ışık tutan çalışmalar yer alıyor. İkinci grupta düz iktisadi düşünce incelemelerinden farklılaşarak Eyüp Hoca’nın çalışmalarında olduğu gibi çok kaynaklı ve ‘bağlantılı’ zenginlikten beslenen iktisadi düşünce tarihi çalışmaları yer alıyor. Üçüncü grup çalışmalar da Eyüp Hoca’nın çalışmalarının kapsadığı tarihsel ve coğrafi uzamı yansıtacak şekilde iktisat tarihi çalışmalarından oluşuyor.

Since 1996 almost no major monograph has been devoted to Ottoman peasant history. This is in sharp contrast with the importance given to the study of Ottoman rural society and economy by earlier Ottomanist historiography. In his classic History of the Ottoman Empire, published in 1973, the doyen of Ottoman studies, Halil İnalcık, described the Ottoman Empire as a ‘peasant empire’. However, for the Ottomanist historiography of the beginning of the twenty-first century, it looks as though the Ottoman Empire was rather an ‘empire of difference’. This volume follows an initiative aimed at putting the peasants back on the agenda of Ottoman history. However, we do not seek (how could we?) to reinstate the historiographical status quo ante nor to attack the many achievements of contemporary historiography. Moreover, unlike the earlier approach of some ‘classic’ works on this subject, which focused on the state as a central actor in rural societies, our symposium sought to investigate economic and social relations in the countryside of the Ottoman Empire not only from the viewpoint of the central administration, but also from that of rural societies. In the present volume, our aim is to highlight themes that are still today unexplored or deserve revision, and throw light on the diverse trajectories of rural economies and societies in the long history and vast lands of the Ottoman Empire.

Çiftlik is a term usually associated with big commercial farms of the nineteenth century, but which in reality appears in historical sources throughout Ottoman history with varying meanings in relation to modes of landownership and agricultural production. Since land was the principal source of wealth in the Ottoman Empire, research in the issue of çiftliks is of great importance because it throws light on a major, widely disseminated institution of the vast rural society and economy that the Ottoman Empire constituted. Although the çiftlik as part of the Ottoman agrarian regime has attracted scholarly attention, it has not been studied in a comprehensive or comparative way, and the existing literature has largely focused mostly on some particular aspects such as the formation of the çiftliks and their relation to market-oriented agricultural production. The aim of the Symposium is to revisit the çiftlik phenomenon and propose answers and new perspectives, by bringing together experts who have worked on the Balkans and western Anatolia. The focus on these geographical regions, which share common characteristics, will allow diversity within homogeneity of scope, and thus will enhance meaningful comparisons and feedback, and will foster discussion around a common axis. To this end, we adopt a longue durée approach, covering landownership and agricultural relations from the late Byzantine period to the Ottoman successor states of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The declining grip of nationalist scholarships, the discovery of the new archival materials, the diversification of research topics and particularly the growth of interest in micro-historical research have combined to generate a new corpus of literature that offers a refreshing view of Ottoman history as it unfolded at provincial level. Although this new wave of scholarship has made the place of each province of the empire more visible on the map of the Ottoman Empire, it has not so far challenged the command of Istanbul and Anatolia over the main narrative of Ottoman history. This also means by implication that the ruling elite continues to occupy the central place in this dominant narrative. Thus, the majority of the general histories of the Ottoman Empire, intended for textbook purposes or public audience, operates through the prevalent periodization and narration of historical change circumscribed by the ebb and flow of political authority centered in Istanbul and its immediate vicinity, namely, Anatolia. This tendency also manifests itself clearly in the bulk of scholarship that has focused on events and themes that are more specific. Although the recent research has highlighted the enormous role of social and economic developments, originating mainly in the remote provinces, in the transformation of the Ottoman Empire, the integration of the new findings and arguments into the mainstream narrative has taken place primarily according to the terms of the scholarship advocating the political-centric conceptualization of Ottoman imperial history. Thus, the tone of relationship between the central and the provincial elites continues to be viewed as the pulse of the Ottoman imperial power while scholars continue to navigate between the negotiating skills of the latter and the pragmatic moves of the former. The emerging histories of the urban and rural communities in the provinces have shown that there is life beyond the gates of elite households and more to the history of provinces than the constant maneuverings of those elites. In fact, the answer to the very question of how the provincial power-brokers accrued so much fiscal, administrative and, in some instances, diplomatic leverage lies as much in the life stories of provincial communities as in the vices and virtues of the individual brokers. Thus, this workshop is based on the premise that the erosion or consolidation of the Sultan's authority in the provinces must be understood through the provinces' changing socio-economic conditions. Against the background, the workshop has the twofold purpose of, firstly, taking stock of the scholarly research on Ottoman provinces and, then, bringing together the histories of provincial communities from different parts of the Empire.

Modernity, Düzgün avers, has been a central object of inquiry in the development of the social sciences. Given that it is usually used as a blanket concept to refer to a mixed bundle of transformations emblematic of the transition to the 'modern' world,

Bu kitabın içindeki çalışmaları üç başlık altında sınıflandırmak mümkün. Birinci grupta Milli İktisat üzerine, Osmanlı-Türk iktisadi düşünce yazınını “ulusal yaklaşım” diyebileceğimiz bir perspektif içinde değerlendiren, kimi göz ardı edilmiş özgünlük ve devamlılıklara ışık tutan çalışmalar yer alıyor. İkinci grupta düz iktisadi düşünce incelemelerinden farklılaşarak Eyüp Hoca’nın çalışmalarında olduğu gibi çok kaynaklı ve ‘bağlantılı’ zenginlikten beslenen iktisadi düşünce tarihi çalışmaları yer alıyor. Üçüncü grup çalışmalar da Eyüp Hoca’nın çalışmalarının kapsadığı tarihsel ve coğrafi uzamı yansıtacak şekilde iktisat tarihi çalışmalarından oluşuyor.
Ottoman rural society and economy by earlier Ottomanist historiography. In his classic History of the Ottoman Empire, published in 1973, the doyen of Ottoman studies, Halil İnalcık, described the Ottoman Empire as a ‘peasant empire’. However,
for the Ottomanist historiography of the beginning of the twenty-first century, it looks as though the Ottoman Empire was rather an ‘empire of difference’. This volume follows an initiative aimed at putting the peasants back on the agenda
of Ottoman history. However, we do not seek (how could we?) to reinstate the historiographical status quo ante nor to attack the many achievements of contemporary historiography. Moreover, unlike the earlier approach of some ‘classic’ works on this subject, which focused on the state as a central actor in rural societies, our symposium sought to investigate economic and social relations in the countryside of the Ottoman
Empire not only from the viewpoint of the central administration, but also from that of rural societies. In the present volume, our aim is to highlight themes that are still
today unexplored or deserve revision, and throw light on the diverse trajectories of rural economies and societies in the long history and vast lands of the Ottoman Empire.
