Partners of the Empire offers a radical rethinking of the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Over this unstable period, the Ottoman Empire faced political crises, institutional shakeups, and popular insurrections. It responded through various reform options and settlements. New institutional configurations emerged; constitutional texts were codified—and annulled. The empire became a political theater where different actors struggled, collaborated, and competed on conflicting agendas and opposing interests. This book takes a holistic look at the era, interested not simply in central reforms or in regional developments, but in their interactions. Drawing on original archival sources, Ali Yaycioglu uncovers the patterns of political action—the making and unmaking of coalitions, forms of building and losing power, and expressions of public opinion. Countering common assumptions, he shows that the Ottoman transformation in the Age of Revolutions was not a linear transition from the old order to the new, from decentralized state to centralized, from Eastern to Western institutions, or from pre-modern to modern. Rather, it was a condensed period of transformation that counted many crossing paths, as well as dead-ends, all of which offered a rich repertoire of governing possibilities to be followed, reinterpreted, or ultimately forgotten.
主要是18,19世纪之交的奥斯曼改革,特别是其间朝廷与地方的互动,和一般想象有很大差别。本来我是要写述评的,九月份还开了一个头,但后来发现包税体制和我之前的认识差异很大,所以鸽了很久,还是等知识储备足够以后再写更合适。 https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/29694947
评分把奥斯曼放到18世纪末全球性的秩序重建中,从秩序Order变化的角度看塞里姆三世到马哈穆德二世之间的历史。作者认为17、18世纪帝国的地方显贵ayan阶层崛起,地方各个社群communities越来越多进行自下而上的参与。在此情况下,危机中的帝国试图将地方的新秩序制度化。塞里姆三世时期的一系列政治事件都可以用改革派,ayan和近卫军三者的互动来解释。当时的帝国本质上是在几种秩序中进行探索,最终探索显贵秩序的文件Deed of Alliance和19世纪后来改革的精神一脉相承,一系列地方上的新变化也促进了民族主义的崛起。这是难得的关于18世纪末19世纪初奥斯曼帝国的综合性研究。
评分亮点很多,对国家集权叙事的修正,对1808联盟协议的阐释,地方社区参政的萌芽等等(对地方强人的介绍反而不算出彩)。把它们编织1789-1808二十年内可能有些拥挤了,社区参政后续的延续性可以再多写几笔。

评分意外的好读——类似于清末新政,奥斯曼与大清的失败不在于西化,而是西化失败。而这种失败,不仅仅在于所谓“新”“旧”二元对立下顽固派的抵抗与绞杀,更在于“新”势力内部对于何为“新”以及怎样实现“新”的不同认知导致合力的涣散与方向的模糊。出于叙事方便与政治正确,后者往往被(有意)忽略
