The current ethno-religious mosaic in the western Balkans cannot be
methodologically analyzed and understood without the in-depth study
of the peculiar millet system, which was the very bedrock of the
Ottoman society and statehood. This monograph provides the readers
with a comprehensive analysis on the establishment and main pillars
of this social structure. Furthermore, one will find information on
the main dynamics of adoption of Islam in the border area between
Serbia and Montenegro which is presently called Sandzak and on the
geopolitical wrangling that hastened the decay of the millets and
introduced the nations in this volatile part of the Balkans. The
impact of conflict and the resulting migrations on the
ethno-religious landscape is also given considerable space in this
volume. Lastly, the analysis describes the discrepancy between the
policies adopted and enforced by the Sublime Porte and the lack on
impact of those on the remote provinces and regions where the power
of the Sultans was limited, or even in some cases only nominal. The
author relies heavily on primary sources, such as contemporary
travelogues, reports, and field studies. The chronological analysis
is divided into three periods which correspond with the internal
and external power and strength of the Ottoman Empire: period of
stability, period of challenges, and a period of irreversible
decay.
