In the seventeenth century, previously peaceful relations between
the Ottoman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
deteriorated into a series of military confrontations over the
principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Although scholars have
generally interpreted this rivalry in terms of conflicting
geopolitical interests, this state-centred approach ignores one of
the most important developments of the period: the devolution of
power away from rulers and formal institutions towards political
factions. Drawing on Ottoman, Polish and Romanian sources, The
Ottomans and Eastern Europe explores the complex interplay between
regional politics and the rise of factionalism, focusing on
cross-border patronage between Ottoman, Polish-Lithuanian and
Moldavian elites. By approaching the history of the region from a
factional, rather than state-centred perspective, this book
investigates an alternative geography of power, defined by personal
interactions that straddled religious, political and social
boundaries between the elites. Wasiucionek reveals the way in which
these interactions not only shaped the Ottoman-Polish rivalry over
Moldavia, but also influenced political culture throughout the
region. Published in Association with the British Institute at
Ankara.
