STATE, LAW AND JUSTICE IN THE OTTOMAN
THREE GREAT POWERS OF THE OTTOMAN: STATE, LAW, JUSTICE
What makes nations a nation is their history and culture. A nation without history is like an individual who has lost his personality. We hope that those who read this book will learn how the Ottoman Empire kept many nations and religions together for six hundred years and how they governed.”
Halil İnalcık
The Ottomans, who maintained their sovereignty for six centuries with the understanding of state, law and justice, maintained their power with the balance of law and morality. It is praised in Western sources that anyone from the Ottoman people could sue even the ruler. On the other hand, the bureaucrats were able to dethrone the ruler when he crushed the fundamental principles. The thought that made the Ottomans the "Ottoman State" and the phrase "Devlet-i Ebed-muddet" from a slogan to a permanent mechanism always came together as an element of resistance of the forces of state-law-justice for the sake of the well-being of religion and the state. is that he lived and was kept alive.
Halil İnalcık, who broke new ground in historiography, gathered together previously published special research on the understanding of the state, the legal regime, the way laws are implemented and the methods of justice in this book. When readers finish the book, they will have learned how the Ottoman Empire kept many nations and religions together for six centuries, accompanied by the most original information.

OTTOMAN AND EUROPE
The Place of the Ottoman Empire in European History
“15. Europe of the 16th and 16th centuries cannot be understood without taking into account the great political-economic power of the time, the Ottoman Empire.”
“European history and Ottoman history are two parallel histories; Therefore, the history of the two worlds should be studied comparatively.”
Halil İnalcık
Since the mid-15th century, the Ottoman Empire has played a very important role in shaping European history. It is not possible to explain concepts such as raison d'état, realpolitik, balance of power or even European identity without making reference to the Ottoman Empire. Although the mutual influences between the Ottoman Empire and Europe are obvious, unfortunately this interaction has not been taken into consideration much in Western historiography.
For some historical reasons such as the Christian Crusader tradition, the hostility that developed due to long wars, cultural alienation, and perhaps because the Ottoman Empire remained outside the Enlightenment process, the Ottomans were generally considered as the opposite and antithesis of Europe and Europeanism in Western historiography. However, there is much more than conflict between the parties.
The influence of the Ottoman Empire in shaping modern Europe, its place in Western history and its political-economic relations with Europe are discussed as a socio-cultural encounter in the Ottoman Empire and Europe, from the pen of one of our greatest historians, Halil İnalcık...

TANZIMAT AND THE BULGARIAN ISSUE
“Halil İnalcık's doctoral thesis, 'Tanzimat and the Bulgarian Issue', which he completed at the age of 26, still maintains its leadership in its field both in terms of content and method. He attributes the riots that broke out in the Bulgarian region after the declaration of Tanzimat to unresolved land issues and the distress of the peasants; It is a thesis based on double-sided archive and source research. It is a research showing that Turkish historiography is a pioneer in objective and scientific analysis capacity among the Balkan countries. It shows the thought and analysis capacity that the young historian has reached in social sciences.
Halil Hodja's 'Tanzimat and the Bulgarian Issue' was a sought-after, lost work. It was a pioneer book. "Kronik Kitap presents this work to its readers as a memoir edition."
