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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aNew directions in religion and literature. 606 $2European history 607 $aRussia$xPolitics and government$y1801-1917 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 607 $aTurkey$xPolitics and government$y19th century 676 $a956.1/0154 700 $aBrisku$b Adrian$01676885 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959803703321 996 $aPolitical reform in the Ottoman and Russian empires$94474612 997 $aUNINA
