Abstract:

This article, which handles the Tanzimat period, aims to examine the implementation of the tribal settlement policies of the government in the Iraqi province of the Ottoman Empire in context of the centralization. The focal point of this study is how the new kinds of practices about tribal settlement and tax collection in provincial life were introduced in the Iraqi province. This article attempts to draw a wide-ranging panorama by the examination of the border policies in Iraq. It also shows the efforts of the central state to introduce stability and urban life to the nomadic tribes in the Iraqi region to increase agricultural production and tax revenues through both negotiation and coercion policies.
