Nineteenth-Century Local Governance in Ottoman Bulgaria: Politics in Provincial Councils (Edinburgh Studies on the Ottoman Empire)

This book provides a detailed exploration of the way in which administrative and judicial offices and practices provided an essential space for politics in 19th-century Bulgaria, securing local inhabitants' participation with Ottoman imperial governance. Combining a wealth of primary documents in both Bulgarian and Ottoman Turkish, this is the first systematic and comprehensive study of the connection between imperially-designed institutions and local politics.
