Agrarian, Commercial, and Maritime Change in the Southeastern Black Sea Region
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-71458-8 (ISBN)
Economic historians have often examined the effects of the integration of the Ottoman Empire into the world markets with macro-level approaches. This book aims to scrutinize the effects of this transition to a capitalist economy through a micro-level approach instead, using micro-level data and microeconomics. It examines the structure of agricultural production and commerce by analyzing major crops and commercial institutions before assessing agrarian, commercial, and maritime changes at the micro-level. Utilizing recent developments in economic history, institutional economics, and ecological economics, it explores the causality behind these agrarian and commercial changes.
Ekin Mahmuzlu, Ph.D., Işık University (Istanbul), is Lecturer at the Humanities and Social Sciences Department of the same university. He has previously published book chapters and articles on maritime trade, including The Premodern Ottoman Navy and its Transformation and its Transformation during the Greek Revolution," in Greek and Shipping during the War of Independence (1821-1831).
