Abstract

Nizâmülmülk’ün Siyasetname’sinde Büyük Selçuklu Devlet Mekânının Coğrafyası: İktâ, Haberleşme, İkmal ve Serhad Denetimi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Nizâmülmülk’ün Siyasetname adlı eserini tarihsel siyasi coğrafya ve Türk-İslam devlet düşüncesi bağlamında inceleyerek Büyük Selçuklu devlet düzeninin mekânsal işleyişini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın ana kaynağını Mehmet Taha Ayar’ın Farsça aslından çevirdiği 2009 tarihli baskı oluşturmaktadır. Nitel doküman analizi ve tematik içerik çözümlemesine dayanan araştırmada iktâ ve vilayet gelirleri, şehir ve pazar denetimi, haberleşme ve istihbarat, elçilik ve serhad uygulamaları, yol, menzil ve merhale düzeni, askerî ikmal ve merkez-çevre ilişkileri birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Çözümleme, metindeki mekânsal ilişkileri alan, akış ve görünürlük boyutları altında bir araya getiren analitik bir çerçeveyle yürütülmüştür. Bulgular, Siyasetname’de devlet mekânının yalnız egemen olunan arazi olarak değil; gelirlerin toplandığı, görevlilerin denetlendiği, haber ve emirlerin dolaştığı, orduların ikmal edildiği ve sınır geçişlerinin izlendiği ilişkisel bir yönetim alanı olarak tasarlandığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte eserdeki tarihî hikâyeler doğrudan olgusal kayıtlar olarak değil, Nizâmülmülk’ün normatif yönetim anlayışını açıklayan örnekler olarak ele alınmıştır. Çalışma, Siyasetname’nin Türk-İslam devlet kültürü ile mekân-yönetim ilişkisini birlikte inceleyen disiplinler arası araştırmalar için önemli bir kaynak sunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Geography Of Great Seljuk State Space In Nizam Al-Mulk’s Siyasatnama: Iqta, Communication, Provisioning, Frontier Control

Abstract

This study examines Nizam al-Mulk’s Siyasatnama in the context of historical political geography and Turco-Islamic state thought in order to reveal the spatial functioning of the Great Seljuk state order. The principal source is Mehmet Taha Ayar’s 2009 Turkish translation from the Persian original. Based on qualitative document analysis and thematic content analysis, the research evaluates iqta and provincial revenues, urban and market supervision, communication and intelligence, diplomatic and frontier practices, roads, staging points (manzil and marhala), military provisioning, and centre-periphery relations. The analysis uses an analytical framework that brings the spatial relations in the text together under the dimensions of area, flow, and visibility. The findings show that state space in Siyasatnama is conceived not merely as territory under rule, but as a relational field of governance in which revenues are collected, officials are supervised, information and orders circulate, armies are provisioned, and frontier passages are monitored. Historical anecdotes in the work are therefore treated not as independently verified factual records but as examples illustrating Nizam al-Mulk’s normative conception of government. The study demonstrates that Siyasatnama offers valuable material for interdisciplinary research linking Turco-Islamic state culture with relations between space and governance.
