Political Reform in the Ottoman and Russian Empires: A Comparative Approach de Dr Adrian Brisku

Political Reform in the Ottoman and Russian Empires: A Comparative Approach: Europe’s Legacy in the Modern World

Autor Dr Adrian Brisku
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2019
Throughout the 'long 19th century', the Ottoman and Russian empires shared a goal of destroying one another. 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.

Recenzii

[A] highly readable comparative account of the ultimately unsuccessful trajectories of political reform in the Ottoman and Russian Empires . [A] good introduction to students and nonspecialists seeking to learn the basic narrative and gain some comparative insight into top-down reform projects in the nineteenth century.
This is an excellent, original, and comprehensive study of the Ottoman and Russian states' efforts, mainly in the nineteenth century, to assure the survival of their countries and revitalize their societies through a series of legal-administrative reforms . I recommend Brisku's book highly to students of Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
By virtue of demonstrating the benefits of theoretical and methodological reflection in historiography, as well as providing a groundwork on which further comparative and integrative research can be built, Brisku's work stands as a valuable contribution to the literature.
In this innovative effort, Brisku has succeeded in portraying two societies in near constant war with each other ... A good read, offering a window into a part of the world still preoccupied with the purity of the nation and busy reconstructing a mythical people and the blessing of God under increasingly tyrannical rule.
Original and novel work... [which is] commendable.
Through a detailed and deeply theoretical investigation of nineteenth-century reform processes in the Ottoman and Russian Empires, Adrian Brisku offers a ground-breaking and thought-provoking framework for the emerging field of comparative Ottoman and Russian imperial studies.
Adrian Brisku's masterful comparison of two 'peripheral' European Empires, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, during political reforms of the 19th c. produces a vivid and personalized account of two high civil servants whose attempts at establishing a nascent constitutional order were met with swift failure. Brisku's genius stroke is to make us rethink institutions, constitutions and the tension between change and stability in large, multi-ethnic polities.
