It analyzes the Ottoman Empire's expansion eastward in the contexts of claims to universal sovereignty, Levantine power politics, and the struggle for control of the oriental trade. Challenging the notion that the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire was merely a reactive economic entity driven by the impulse to territorial conquest, Brummett portrays it as inheritor of Euro-Asian trading networks and participant in the contest for commercial hegemony from Genoa and Venice to the Indian Ocean. Brummett shows that the development of seapower was crucial to this endeavor, enabling the Ottomans to subordinate both Venice and the Mamluk kingdom to dependency relationships and providing the Ottoman ruling class access to commercial investment and wealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Palmira Brummett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 5.94w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791417027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalmira Brummett\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the Department of History at the University of Tennessee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41180620095603,"sku":"9.78079E+12","price":58.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ba471ac3-2298-4f0e-8131-2dcd54db35aa.jpg?v=1703693636","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/ottoman-seapower-and-levantine-diplomacy-in-the-age-of-discovery-9780791417027","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
