Özet

Boğaç A. Ergene’nin Defining Corruption in the Ottoman Empire (Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Yolsuzluğu Tanımlamak) adlı eseri, modern öncesi Osmanlı yönetiminde yolsuzluğun hukuki, ahlaki ve siyasi boyutlarını ele alan eleştirel bir analiz sunmaktadır. Ergene, kapsamlı birincil kaynak araştırmalarıyla yolsuzluğun Osmanlı toplumunda nasıl algılandığını, tartışıldığını ve düzenlendiğini incelemektedir. Modern tanımları doğrudan uygulamak yerine, rüşvet ve kayırma gibi uygulamaların nasıl farklı çerçeveler içinde yorumlandığını vurgulamaktadır.
