Defining Corruption in the Ottoman Empire

Morality, Legality, and Abuse of Power in Premodern Governance

Beschreibung

This book explores how premodern Ottomans characterised public office corruption and what specific transgressions they associated with this notion before the nineteenth century. It identifies articulations of self-interested abuses of power in this context and illustrates how they resonate in some ways with modern perspectives.
