There is no consensus on periodizing Ottoman history. However, it is generally accepted that the structures that dominated the Ottoman State can be understood most clearly by examining the XVIth century. This century is called the Classical Period or the Golden Age. In the Classical Period, centralist structures became dominant in the Ottoman society and all of its elements gained institutional character. The views put forward on periodizing Ottoman history can be grouped under two headings: Either depending on military performance, or traditional views that draw parallels between the quality and development of societies and the nature and development of humans. In the first, a historical period in the form of rise, stagnation and regression is made in parallel with the development of military performance. In the second, a historical process follows the order of growth, maturity and deterioration. Karpat, on the other hand, put forward the most systematic views on periodizing Ottoman history. Here, the distinct difference of Karpat's views is that he made statements covering the entire Ottoman history within the framework of the land regime (timar). Karpat’s modeling is an important contribution to the economic history literature. In the study, it is aimed to show the contribution of Karpat to the literature by using the comparative method and the literature review method
