Ottoman Notables and Participatory Politics: Tanzimat Reform in Tokat, 18391876

Focusing on events in the Anatolian town of Tokat during the final two decades of the great Ottoman legal and administrative reforms known as the Tanzimat (183976), this book applies elements of social networking theory to analyze and assess the establishment of local governments across the Middle East.

The authors key finding is that the states efforts to centralize authority succeeded only when and where locals acted as the primary agents of change. Independent notables, such as the military ayan, demanded wealth and state offices in exchange for carrying out reform measures according to local idioms of power. Newly created administrative bodies also offered greater social mobility to a growing multi-confessional middle-class in small towns like Tokat. The state was desperate to reform, but opportunistic provincials were eager to have it only on their own terms.

Challenging false assumptions about the limited scope of participatory politics in the Middle East during the nineteenth century, Ottoman Notables and Participatory Politics will be of interest to students and scholars of Political Economy, History and Middle East Studies.

Dr. John K. Bragg is an assistant professor of History and Education at New Jersey City University. His research interests include political economy, handicraft industry, provincial studies, folklore, and Islamic family law. He has published a peer-reviewed chapter on Fuzulis Leyla and Majnun and has delivered conference papers on the nineteenth-century resettlement of Circassian refugees in Anatolia and non-Muslim legal tactics before the er courts.

This book examines the social foundations of local government in the Anatolian town of Tokat during the Ottoman Tanzimat Period. I would like to share a few words about how I came to this topic. After graduating from college with a bachelors degree in history in 1996, I taught English as a second language in Turkey for two and a half years. I first became acquainted with Tokat in the winter and spring of 1998. At that time, I worked as an English teacher at Ondokuz Mays University in Samsun. Sometime during that year, I was invited to give spoken English lessons on the weekends to faculty and graduate students at the local state university in Tokat on the weekends.
