The decades after 1750 saw the Ottoman Empire undergo tremendous
stresses that culminated in the first stirrings of nationalism
among Christian subjects and an irrevocable commitment to reform by
the Muslim state. By 1830, Serbs and Greeks had fought successfully
for autonomy or independence, and Sultan Mahmud II had prepared the
way for the Tanzimat by abolishing the Janissary Corps and other
discredited institutions. In spite of the importance of this era
for both Ottoman and Balkan history, marking as it does the
transition from the pre-modern to the modern, scholars have shown
remarkably little interest in the factors triggering such important
developments.The contributors to this volume examine instances of
problems affecting the Balkans and of state efforts to fix them.
Issues considered include law and justice, centralization and
provincial autonomy, taxation and land disputes, and the stresses
of war. The cases studied here should give both the specialist and
the general reader a clearer picture of the forces of change at
work in the most important region of the empire during this era of
transition.
