Investigating interactions among Bedouin chiefs, commercial-capitalists, urban elites, and Ottoman officials from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, it illustrates the central role of Bedouin bureaucrats in fostering mutually beneficial relationships within or outside the state sphere.en10.54462/kadim.1446663info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTribeBedouinOttomanSyriaCentralizationReview0
