MODERN BIR LİDER OLARAK MUHTEŞEM SÜLEYMAN VE OSMANLI DEVLETİNDEKI GELİŞMELER

Abstract

Bu makale Osmanlı Sultanı Muhteşem Süleyman ’ı modernizm penceresinden incelemektedir. Kanuni Sultan Süleyman ’ın zamanı ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ’na katkıları incelenmiştir. Öncelikli olarak kanun yapması, özgürlükçülüğü, cömertliği ve hoşgörüsü ve tüm bunların sonucu olarak askeri başarıları incelenmiştir. Bu makale Muhteşem Süleyman’ın modern devlet anlayışının dünyadaki ilk temsilcisi olduğunu hatta dünyada modernizm hareketinin başlangıcı olarak kabul edilen Reform periyodundan da önce olduğu sonucunu çıkartmaktadır. Bu makale Sultan Süleyman zamanının yönetim anlayışının şu anki pek çok batı devletinin yönetim anlayışından farklı olmadığını ifade etmekte, buna gerekçe olarak da Sultan Süleyman zamanı Batı Ülkelerinin modern çağdaki dönüşümlerinin benzerliklerini gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Makale aynı zamanda Sultan Süleyman zamanının sadece modernizm ve rasyonel yaklaşımların gelişmesiyle açıklanamayacağını, onun özgürlükçülüğü, cömertliği ve hoşgörüsünün yönetim anlayışındaki önemli huşular olduğunu ve bunların da ülke yönetimine çok olumlu katkılar sunduğunu ifade etmektedir.

Suleyman The Magnificent As A Modern Leader And Developments In Ottoman Empire

Abstract

This paper tells the Ottoman Sultan Süleyman the Magnifıcence from the perfective of modernism. His time and his contribution to the Ottoman Empire examined. Initially his establishment of Laws, and his liberality, munificence and tolerance is examined and the result of this his military contributions were mentioned. This paper concluded that Suleyman the Magnificence is the first Sultan establishing the bases of modern State, even before the Enlightenment period, which is assumed as starting point for modernism movements in the world. This article states that the management of Suleyman ’s time is not so different than any of twentieth-century state (Lyber, 1913), in some aspects because Suleyman ’s time has many similar points with the Western States’ evolution to modern era when rationalization was dominating their system of public management. Paper also states that developments in Suleyman ’s time cannot be explained well just with rationalization in the state system, his understanding of liberality, munificence and tolerance are other aspects of his management and had great contribution to development in the state at the time.
