Keyman Modern Turkish Studies > A Moveable Empire: Ottoman Nomads, Migrants, and Refugees In his talk, Kasaba will examine the history of the Ottoman Empire through a new lens, focusing on the migrant groups that lived within its bounds and their changing relationship to the state's central authorities. Unlike earlier studies that take an evolutionary view of tribe-state relations-casting the development of a state as a story in which nomadic tribes give way to settled populations-he will argue that mobile groups played an important role in shaping Ottoman institutions and, ultimately, the early republican structures of modern Turkey. Resat Kasaba is the Henry M. Jackson Professor of International Studies and the former Director of the Center for Global Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author and editor of several books and articles dealing with the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, and the Middle East. Most recently, he edited volume four of the Cambridge History of Modern Turkey (2008) and finished A Moveable Empire: Ottoman Empire, Migrants, and Refugees, which is in press. He teaches courses that study the interaction between states and markets from a world-historical perspective, the impact of Islam in Italian cities, and how the U.S. decided to go to war in Iraq. In 1999, he received the University of Washington's Distinguished Teaching Award. More Information.
