This book is a comparative study of imperial organization and
longevity that assesses Ottoman successes as well as failures
against those of other empires with similar characteristics. Barkey
examines the Ottoman Empire's social organization and mechanisms of
rule at key moments of its history, emergence, imperial
institutionalization, remodeling, and transition to nation-state,
revealing how the empire managed these moments, adapted, and
averted crises and what changes made it transform dramatically. The
flexible techniques by which the Ottomans maintained their
legitimacy, the cooperation of their diverse elites both at the
center and in the provinces, as well as their control over economic
and human resources were responsible for the longevity of this
particular "negotiated empire." Her analysis illuminates topics
that include imperial governance, imperial institutions, imperial
diversity and multiculturalism, the manner in which dissent is
handled and/or internalized, and the nature of state society
negotiations.
