Abstract
This thesis consists of three parts and it is about the applications of voivode in the Ottoman Empire, about which little is known and there has been no independent study. The reasons causing the spread of this system, the essentials in appointing and removing them and the administrative, financial, military and municipal duties performed by voivodes in Ottoman provincials are expressed in deteails. In which points, the applications of voivode were different from the ones in Walachia-Moldavia, both of which were subject principalities of Ottoman Empire, are explained. Because of the economy of the Ottoman Empire getting monetary, military problems, financial straits and the treasury not having enough ready money caused all the sources of income to assemble in the centre of the country. Corruption of the small military fieves, the widespread applications of portiality and country estate, the areas of the small fieves getting one part of the central treasury and the factors like inside security lead to the spread of this system.The state was prefering a safer and stranger way by appointing voivodes from powerful local families to the tax incomes assembled in the Central Treasury, by using the power of the local rule is against the public in collecting taxes and recruiting as a force of sanction in providing security and the other administrative services. Voivodes were keeping an important number of soldiers and when there was a need they were joining to the central army and this situation enabled the state to get rid of the obligation of keeping much more soldiers and to do an important deal of saving. The state achieved two goals by preventing the local rulers to rebel against the central authority and by using their power in performing some kinds of services as a sanction. Thus, the state prevented the local powers to be against it and they were incorporated in the administration, which can be called as a centralization in the Ottoman style. 180
