Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

I am a scholar specializing in the political and economic history of the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and the twentieth-century Middle East. Thematically, my focus lies in the intersection of revolution, empire, globalization, and capitalism. The first axis of my research explores the politics of revolutionary radicalism in the late Ottoman Balkans (1878-1908). I am particularly interested in tracing the ways in which the newly available technologies of violence transformed the fin-de-siecle revolutionary organizations and imperial governance. The second axis of my research focuses on the political economy of the Turkish-Syrian border. I am especially intrigued by the question of how the Ottoman imperial economy transitioned into the interwar period, which led me to carry out research on the politics of tariffs, black markets, and other types of cross-border flows in the region.
