Formation of the Modern State: The Ottoman Empire Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries - Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms 2 Revised edition
Rifa'at Ali Abou-El-Haj
Challenges the paradigm of the societal decline as inadequate for understanding the Ottoman society and state during this period. This book evaluates the established historical view of the Ottoman Empire as an Eastern despotic nation-state in decline, and instead analyzes it as a modern state comparable to contemporary states in Europe and Asia.
