Uluslararası Borçlanma İlişkisi Bağlamında Osmanlı Devleti Mali Kurumlarının Dönüşümü

Abstract

The study examines the transformation of the Ottoman State's financial institutional structure in the context of the state's borrowing relationship with international markets in the middle of the century. Imperialism is considered in the thesis as an aspect that accelerated the uneven combined development dynamics of capitalism throughout the 19th century and is examined as one of the main factors of the institutional transformation experienced by the Ottoman State throughout the 19th century. The creation of the state's executive apparatus in the axis of the centralization, modernization and establishment of normative law of the state meant the creation of a resource that would standardize capitalist institutional development and the organization of all kinds of economic, diplomatic and political relations to be established with the West according to Western norms. With international borrowing, the intervention of the European states in the state's financial institutions for the purpose of repaying debts and maintaining state indebtedness began. The dependent development of the Ottoman financial organization in the context of debt management was examined in the thesis with the establishment of the Düyun-u Umumiye İdaresi, an international financial control apparatus.
