xxix, 493 pages : 25 cm. Summary:"This volume aims to explore Ottoman political thought and seeks answers to questions such as those: Did Ottoman political thinkers precede policy-makers in proposing reform, or did political writers feel surpassed by developments with which they did not agree? What was the relation of religion -oriented ideological currents with like-minded reforms in the fiscal and landholding system? What was the relation between European (and or Iranian) thought and Ottoman political developments? Was there innovative political thinking that led in the radical reforms of the Tanzimat era?"--Page [4] of cover

The Institute for Mediterranean Studies organised a Symposium focusing on these problems and this volume contains seventeen papers presented at it.
