Yet, they also shared a similar vision for imperial state renewal, with the goal of avoiding revolution, decline and isolation within Europe. Adrian Brisku explores how this path of renewal and reform manifested itself: forging new laws and institutions, opening up the economy to the outside world, and entering the European political community of imperial states. Political Reform in the Ottoman and Russian Empires tackles the dilemma faced by both empires, namely how to bring about meaningful change without undermining the legal, political and economic status quo. The book offers a unique comparison of Ottoman and Russian politics of reform and their connection to the wider European politico-economic space."--Provided by publisher.New directions in religion and literature.European historyRussiaPolitics and government1801-1917TurkeyHistoryOttoman Empire, 1288-1918TurkeyPolitics and government19th century956.1/0154Brisku Adrian925589UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511399403321Political reform in the Ottoman and Russian empires2550286UNINA
