Telegraphic Protectionism: Growth of Ottoman Telegraph Business as a Public Enterprise, 1854-1914

Öz

This article aims to provide a business history account for development of Ottoman telegraph network in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Study of telegraphic business is a part of the greater research agenda, namely business history of utilities policy in semi-peripheral countries, with its branches of transportation, communication, energy, water, and urban scale infrastructure networks. However, Ottoman communication policy preferred public ownership and public enterprise of telegraph network. This preference demonstrates a deviation from nineteenth century business history pattern of concessions for foreign companies in infrastructure networks. Ottoman Empire protected its telegraph network from penetration of foreign companies, despite the fact that it granted concessions for other infrastructure networks. I argue that concept “telegraphic protectionism” is a useful tool to analyze growth of Ottoman telegraph business under public ownership and public enterprise. Concerns of security and bureaucratic centralization had a significant role in formation of this strategy of telegraphic protectionism. This article analyzes this specific formation of semi-peripheral telegraph policy by employing perspective of business history.
