Unlike earlier studies that take an evolutionary view of tribe-state relations-casting the development of a state as a story in which nomadic tribes give way to settled populations-this book argues that mobile groups played an important role in shaping Ottoman institutions and, ultimately, the early republican structures of modern Turkey." "Over much of the empire's long history, local Interests influenced the development of the Ottoman state as authorities sought to enlist and accommodate the various nomadic groups in the region. In the early years of the empire, maintaining a nomadic presence, especially in frontier regions, was an important source of strength. Cooperation between the imperial center and tribal leaders provided the center with an effective way of reaching distant parts of the empire, while allowing tribal leaders to perpetuate their own authority and guarantee the tribes' survival as bearers of distinct cultures and identities. This relationship changed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as indigenous communities, tribal and otherwise, discovered new possibilities of expanding their own economic and political power by pursuing local, regional, and even global opportunities, independent of the Ottoman center. The Ottoman state responded by taking its first steps toward settling tribes and controlling migrations. Finally, in the early twentieth century, mobility took another form entirely as ethnicity-based notions of nationality led to forced migrations."--Jacket 410 0$aStudies in modernity and national identity. 606 $aNomads$zTurkey$xHistory 606 $aInternal migrants$zTurkey$xHistory 606 $aMigration, Internal$zTurkey$xHistory 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 607 $aTurkey$xSocial conditions$y1288-1918 615 0$aNomads$xHistory. 615 0$aInternal migrants$xHistory. 615 0$aMigration, Internal$xHistory. 676 $a305.9/069109561 700 $aKasaba$b Res?at$f1954-$0637991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816596003321 996 $aA moveable empire$94100838 997 $aUNINA
