Abstract
Ottoman economy before the Industrial Revolution mainly depended upon agriculture and small scale manufacturing and commercial sectors which would produce a certain level of well being but in the course of time it started weakening the Empire’scompetitiveness against the West because of administrative weaknesses, imbalances in agriculture, failures in the wars and land losses. In these circumstances, the state accepted an industrial policy very similar to the ones in Europe starting from the beginning of the 19th century but these policies could not be prospered because of the financial problems, lack of physical and human capital formation, capitulations, carelessness of the minorities in national interests, concentration of the factories in certain regions, economic conservatism, and the obstructive efforts of the colonialist states. The study aims to investigate the impacts of Industrial Revolution on the Ottoman State’s industrial policies.
