Originally published in 1987, this book examines the consequences
of the nineteenth-century economic penetration of Europe into the
Ottoman Empire. Professor Pamuk makes subtle use of a very wide
range of sources encompassing the statistics of most of the
European countries and Ottoman records not previously tapped for
this purpose. His economic and quantitative analysis established
the long-term trends of Ottoman foreign trade and European
investment in the Empire. The later chapters focus on the
commercialisation of agriculture and the decline as well as the
resistance of handicrafts. Geographically, most of the volume
focuses on the area within the 1911 borders of the Empire - Turkey,
northern Greece, Greater Syria and Iraq. Professor Pamuk compares
the relationship of the Ottoman Empire to the world economy with
that of other parts of the non-European world and concludes that
the two distinguishing features of the Ottoman case were the
environment of Great Power rivalry and the ability of the
government to react against European pressures.
