جوانب من التاريخ العلائقي : المغرب و الدولة العثمانية بين القرنين السادس عشر و الثامن عشر

Abstract EN

This article deals with the subject of diplomatic history, an old field of study that has recently witnessed considerable rebirth through the guise of “relational history”.

Following a review of developments globally, the author moves to consider relational history as experienced in the Moroccan academy.

To begin with, the field focused on relations with Europe before moving on to address relations between Morocco and the non-European world, especially sub-Saharan Africa and the Ottoman Empire.

These latter relations and their developments between the 16th and 18th century, form the bulk of this paper.

The article concludes with a reflection on some of the major issues raised by these relations such as the legitimacy of governing, the interference between the Muslim community (Ummah) and the state, the issues of identity, borders, and rival sovereignties in the Islamic world.
