"Two cardinal issues undercut the ordering of the Ottoman and Russian empires in the 'long European century'. The first concerned resolving the question of whether to open or restrict the political space at the level of imperial governing, whereas the second revolved around the prudence of maintaining a highly regulated and controlled economic space or subscribing to the principles of the open liberal economy. These tensions, which in this manuscript are referred to as the 'politics of change and stability', were interlinked and had domestic and external repercussions for both empires. Indeed, the many wars between the two empires were a mere extension of these tensions. Aside from the periods of political repression and pressures for economic isolation, the Russian and Ottoman empires repeatedly sought to renew themselves politically and economically, in order to react to internal and external pressures. Renewal for the purpose of peace and prosperity came to be articulated in the vocabulary of domestic reforms, and as a morally guided if not rule-based European political order. In these efforts, much hope and suspicion was directed to the imperial state and its bureaucratic order. The manuscript engages with some key political figures and projects for renewal in the realms of law, politics, economics and international relations at crucial moments of Russian and Ottoman imperial histories as well as the wider European history - of which this paper only highlights some fragments with their inherent tensions - to explore what went on with the alternative of change and stability."@en .
