Modernism in Late Ottoman Empire and in Early Turkey

Abstract

Methods in public administration have changed by the changes and improvements in society and its understanding of
administration. These changes and improvements need new ideas and imaginations to break routine understanding of
administration. A fashionable way of administration a century ago can be dated today unless it has dynamics rather than
bounded rules. This paper explores the experiments of modernity both in late Ottoman Empire and early Turkish Republic. It
focuses in particular on continuity rather than change by the name of modernity.
