{"product_id":"9780857728814","title":"The Ottoman Crisis in Western Anatolia: Turkey's Belle Epoque and the Transition to a Modern Nation State","description":"Ottoman Turkey’s coastal provinces in the early nineteenth century were economic powerhouses, teeming with innovation, wealth and energy – a legacy of the Ottoman’s outward-looking and trade-orentated diplomacy. By the middle of the century, the wide-ranging and radical process of modernization – known collectively as the Tanzimat – was underway, in part a symptom of a slow decline in Ottoman financial strength. By the 1920s, the coastal cities were ghost towns. The Ottoman Crisis in Western Anatolia seeks to unpick how and why this happened. A detailed, rich and authoritative regional study, this book offers a unique and original insight into the effects of forced migration, displacement, economic reorganization and the competing political ideologies focused on ‘modernization’ – all of which are central to the study of the late Ottoman Empire.","brand":"I.B.Tauris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072142590192,"sku":"9780857728814","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780857728814_p0.jpg?v=1763836592","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780857728814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
