Issued without a dust jacket. -- Legislation Authority addresses issues of law, state violence, and state authority within the Ottoman and Turkish context. -- The book presents an original and compelling re-evaluation of legal transformation in the late Ottoman Empire and early Turkish Republic. Departing from traditional narratives focused on secularisation, codification, or the East-West binary, the author argues that criminal law evolved toward abstraction and self-legitimation, gradually detaching from both Islamic jurisprudence and the lived realities of Ottoman society. Through a chronological study from the Tanzimat reforms (beginning in 1839) to the adoption of Mussolini's fascist penal code in 1930s Turkey, this book examines how legal institutions became self-referential and increasingly totalitarian - culminating in a system where "discursive crimes" replaced crimes with clear victims. The author contends that the Ottoman state's increasing reliance on abstract criminal law, bureaucratic surveillance, and legal rationalism marked a profound shift: from punishment based on communal ethics and religious norms to the prosecution of actions deemed threats to the state's symbolic authority. Throughout, the religious establishment is shown not as a declining force but as one increasingly co-opted into legitimising this abstract, state-centred legal order. Ottoman law did not simply secularise; it internalised religious authority to fortify state power. By drawing from a wide range of legal codes, administrative records, and political rhetoric, the book maps the shift from kadis and communal adjudication to an elite-controlled judiciary that prioritised state ideology over social justice. Its analysis of "bureaucratic sin" and the transformation of morality into a tool of state control echoes and expands on the work of Foucault and Weber, yet it remains grounded in deep archival research and a keen awareness of Ottoman legal tradition. Scholars interested in comparative legal history, Islamic law, modern Middle Eastern states, and authoritarian legal structures will find this work essential. Its implications go beyond the Ottoman world, offering a sobering reflection on how legal systems can be mobilised to enforce ideological conformity - under the guise of rational reform. Legislating Authority challenges the reader to rethink what it means for law to be "modern", and what is lost when law becomes divorced from society. -- Contents: Introduction; 1.
