A JURIDICAL-BASED READING OF OTTOMAN MODERNISATION: REŞAT KAYNAR’S ‘THE MOVEMENETS TOWARDS FOUNDING A ‘RECHTSAAT’ IN TURKEY"

Abstract

We meet two main approaches in the Ottoman history researches of Republican era historians: The cultural-based essays generally evaluate the events of modern age -from French Revolution to World War I- through the problematic of the emergence of modern national identity, while the economy-based perspective handles the same process as transition from agricultural community to capitalist society. Meanwhile after the end of World War II, we encounter a third way of interprating the Ottoman-Turkish modernization, which is based upon the development of ‘rechtstaat’ (the rule of law) notion. Reşat Kaynar’s work, ‘The Movements Towards Founding a Rechtsaat in Turkey’ (1960), which was written upon the government models classified by Sıddık Sami Onar, professor of the Istanbul University Faculty of Law, represents a considerable example of this third view. The aim of this article is to throw light on the past of the juridical-based history-writing.
