Résumé En

From Beirut to Alger, the end of an urban order, Robert Ilbert. Like Beirut, the inmost extreme example, the port-cities of the Ottoman Empire have gone little by little from the stage of dynamism and brilliance to that of dismantlement, when not chaos... Understanding such a process implies an analysis of the very specifie urban order which characterized them at the time of their apogee : they were cosmopolitan cities functioning almost like genuine city-states, organized around the power of their elites, the social and cultural weight of their communitarian System and of the relative autonomy of their municipal agencies. But the logic of the nation-states gained increasingly and broke their always precarious balance, pushing them into an apparently unending crisis.
