Tesis Keruntuhan Utsmaniyah

Pada 1683, Kekaisaran Utsmaniyah mencapai perluasan wilayah maksimumnya di Eropa, pada periode yang dulunya dicap sebagai salah satu kebuntuan dan keruntuhan.

Tesis Keruntuhan Utsmaniyah atau Paradigma Keruntuhan Utsmaniyah (bahasa Turki: Osmanlı Gerileme Tezi) adalah sebuah catatan sejarah^[1] yang sepat memainkan peran dominan dalam kajian sejarah Kekaisaran Utsmaniyah. Menurut tesis keruntuhan tersebut, menyusul zaman keemasan yang dikaitkan dengan masa kekuasaan Sultan Suleiman yang Luar Biasa (r. 1520–1566), kekaisaran tersebut secara bertahap memasuki periode kebuntuhan dan keruntuhan secara menyeluruh yang tak dapat dipulihkan, yang berlangsung sampai pembubaran Kekaisaran Utsmaniyah pada 1923.^[2] Tesis tersebut dipakai sepanjang sebagian besar abad kedua puluh sebagai dasar pemahaman Barat dan Turki Republikan^[3] terhadap sejarah Utsmaniyah. Namun, pada 1978, para sejarawan mulai menguji kembali asumsi-asumsi fundamental dari tesis keruntuhan tersebut.^[4]

One of the most momentous changes to have occurred in Ottoman studies since the publication of Egypt and the Fertile Crescent [1966] is the deconstruction of the so-called 'Ottoman decline thesis' – that is, the notion that toward the end of the sixteenth century, following the reign of Sultan Suleyman I (1520–66), the empire entered a lengthy decline from which it never truly recovered, despite heroic attempts at westernizing reforms in the nineteenth century. Over the last twenty years or so, as Chapter 4 will point out, historians of the Ottoman Empire have rejected the narrative of decline in favour of one of crisis and adaptation
