Nomads and the Extension of the Ottoman Administration into the South of Syria
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 July 2021
In a follow-up to Chapter 3, this chapter examines the collaborative expansion of Ottoman rule in the south of Ottoman Syria, which roughly covers today’s Jordan and southern Syria, including Hawran, Ajlun, Balqa’, Salt, Ma’an and Karak. It demonstrates how the nomadic tribes cooperated with the Ottoman government in its endeavour to expand its authority in the region. Similar to Deir al-Zor, a partnership and cooperation were created between the state and the nomads which lasted until the end of the Ottoman era.
