Özet:

The Ottoman timar system successfully fulfilled its economic and military mission until the XVIth century. After the middle of the XVIth century, some economic problems arose in the çift-hane system, which constitutes the core of the timar system, and some of the reaya, timar owners and kapikulu elements who were affected by the problems started a mass reaction movement under the name of the Jalali Rebellions against the central authority. In this study, the crisis environment in which the çift-hane system, which was the basis for the formation of the Jalali Rebellions that took place in the Anatolian rural was examined within the framework of A. V. Chayanov’s “peasant farm theory”. In the study, after drawing a theoretical framework on the functioning of the Ottoman çift-hane system within the scope of the Asiatic Mode of Production by reviewing the relevant literature as a method, the effects of the system’s deterioration process on the Jalali Rebellions were discussed.
