Abstract

One of the aims of this edited volume is to examine the economic processes of incorporating or excluding the “other” in an urban fabric. Our chapter will discuss this aspect of the book in connection with the strong and continuous presence of non-Muslim minorities in Istanbul from the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. How did the Ottoman Empire deal with urban diversity in relation to the different ethno-religious groups residing within its realm? Why was the exploitation of the economic potentials of religious and ethnic diversity difficult in the framework of Ottoman and Turkish Istanbul? Is it possible to identify similarities with regard to official minority treatment in different historical phases?
