Corruption in the Ottoman Polity is a competent volume historicising and contextualising the concept of corruption in the early modern and modern Ottoman Empire. The chapters are well structured and follow a pattern that help the reader appreciate the intricacies of dealing with a modern notion in a historical context. While a number of essays provide theoretical approaches to studying corruption as a historical phenomenon, others present case studies from the Ottoman Empire as well as from the similar polities such as the Mamluk Empire and Qing China. This is indeed a welcome contribution to the field of Ottoman studies and hopefully will inspire new historians to study corruption in the Ottoman context.
