Ottoman World Order
The Ottoman International Order: Micro, Meso and Macro Level Order-Building Mechanisms
This project is conducted at Sakarya University, Middle East Institute under the coordination of Prof. Dr. Tuncay Kardaş and is supported by the TÜBİTAK 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Support Program(Project No: 223K553).
The project aims to analyze the mechanisms through which the Ottoman international order was constructed, maintained, and eventually declined during the early modern period (1450–1850) across Africa and Eurasia. It represents the first systematic academic study to examine the Ottoman experience not merely as an imperial model, but as a long-lasting and multi-layered international order.
