Résumé En

The anthropology of economics and the politics of historical transformation in the Ottoman Empire I. Sunar This essay attempts to place the problem of Ottoman transformation within the world system perspective without, however, reducing the role of the state either to international dynamics or the interests of social groups. Hence, while the emergence of the European world market economy (and the concomitant international system of states) is viewed as the prime mover of Ottoman transformation, the significance of the Ottoman state both in its role as the constitutive center of imperial economic organization and its role as the determining power of society's response to the challenges posed by international developments is acknowledged and explained. The transformation itself is viewed as the consequence of a complex interaction among the exigencies of the state, the pressures of the international state system, and the interests of internal social classes.
