Abstract
One of the main promises of the modernizing Tanzimat reforms of the nineteenth century was the creation of a new civic order whereby the subject communities – particularly Christians and Jews – would be treated as equal imperial
citizens irrespective of their religious and ethnic affiliations. It was expected that
the promises of this new order would further cement relations between the state
and its subjects. The available research suggests that this promise of equality was
not welcomed by the empire’s Muslim elite. The responses of other communities – i.e. Orthodox Greek, Armenian and Jewish – to these modernizing reforms,
however, have not been studied in detail.
