Şükrü Hanioğlu emphasises broad historical trends and processes more than single events. He examines the imperial struggle to centralise amid powerful opposition from local rulers, nationalist and other groups, and foreign powers. He looks closely at the socioeconomic changes this struggle wrought and addresses the Ottoman response to the challenges of modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHanioğlu shows how this history is not only essential to comprehending modern Turkey but is integral to the histories of Europe and the world.
