dc.description.abstract | This dissertation discusses how tribal agency impacted the eastern margins of the
empire in terms of tribe-empire relations during the nineteenth century. The
Heyderan, a confederative form of tribal social organization, acts as a case study,
used to explore and analyze how local, provincial and imperial agencies confronted
the real political situation. This study follows the transformation of the Ottoman East
from a de-centralized to a centralized structure, until the emergence of the modern
nation-state. During the long nineteenth century, this study argues that the tribes and
the empire were separate agencies, and that the two bargained in order to expand
their power at the expense of the other. As a separate imagined community, the
Heyderan were not passive and dependant subjects, but rather, enacted their own
political and economic agendas under a separate tribal collective identity. Relations
between local and imperial agencies were dynamic and fragile, but tribe and empire
often supported each other and became allies who benefited from shared missions.
Therefore, politics in the Ottoman East did not develop through a top-down
implementation of the imperial agenda, but rather in combination with the bottom-up
responses and agency of the local Kurdish tribes. Finally, rather than completing this study in July of 1908 with the collapse of the last Ottoman Sultan, this thesis
concludes by analyzing the changes in the region until 1929, when the tribe lost its
political-military power, and paramount Heyderan tribal leader, Hüseyin Pasha, due
to the emergence of the modern nation-state. | en_US |
