title = {Expertise and Sedition: Perspectives from the Ottoman Army of 1769},
year = {2025},
note = {This paper examines the letters of the Ottoman Grand Vizier and
commander-in-chief of the 1769 campaign, Yağlıkçızâde Mehmed Emin
Pasha, in order to advance the understanding of Ottoman notions of
expertise. Military expertise has always been seen as a fundamental
part of discussions of Ottoman modernization, and its perceived
absence prior to the Ottoman-Russian War of 1768–1774 is cited as
one of the many reasons why the Ottomans ‘lagged’ behind. This
article attempts to understand what constituted expertise for the
Ottoman elite before the major catastrophes of the war and puts
forward an intertwining relationship between perceptions of expertise
and sedition.},
