past concepts of empire and imperialism: starting with the Ottoman empire- the
volume embarks with articles by Marc Aymes on the inclusion of Ottoman studies
within imperial studies and Einar Wigen on the Ottoman concepts of empire, the
journey then continues through early 20th century Denmark- in Christian Egander
