Cameralism is seen as an important current because of the fact that it was a field of study in administrative science and public administration idea and also prominent in the continental Europe and Turkey from Tanzimat Era. Cameralism, having been providing economic welfare and constitution of a modern state, contained the field called state science (Staatswisenchaften): Cameralism compromised of three main components like finance, law and economy, as it coincided with the building of the modern state. It is the prominent idea that the state could tax within the legal framework that functioned economically and created welfare with the sources it created. Reflecting the continental understanding of administrative science and showing some differences from the Anglo-Saxon public administration approach, cameralism drew attraction to the Ottoman bureaucrats from the beginning of 19th century. Cameralism was found attractive by Tanzimat reformist bureaucrats through Sadık Rıfat Pasha who was then Vienna Ambassador. Though it was left undiscovered of the respects of Cameralism that led to bureaucratic elitism/despotism, Cameralism was used to put the state in modern design, constitute a taxation system and create administrative reforms. Tanzimat Declaration addressed the ruled as much as the rulers from outside the ancient rules in classical Ottoman. Having got rid of the restriction on life and property coming from subject bureaucracy , Ottoman bureaucracy, as Ortaylı points out, declared their independence as they saw Cameralism as the only cure to save the state. In this sense, in our study, the general lines of cameralism, which has contributed significantly to the development of the discipline of public administration, especially in Continental Europe, has been put forward and how it affected the Ottoman Empire in the reform process. |
