Item From the Adriatic to the Western Mediterranean: Albanians and Dalmatians in Algiers during the 16th Century(2022-12-29) Muhaj, ArdianThe sixteenth century is considered as the last golden age of the Mediterranean. This splendor of the Mediterranean was shared by the people inhabiting this “Great Sea”. In this century the Mediterranean is seen as a maritime space contested between two rival powers: the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The rivalry between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans developed in the Western fringe of the Mediterranean, while the eastern and central part of the Great Sea remained uncontested dominions of the Ottoman state. In this Mediterranean splendor and rivalry, the role and agency of many people and local communities should not be undervalued. The aim of this paper is to highlight the presence of the Albanian and Dalmatian sailors, soldiers, and traders in Algiers, which was undoubtedly one of the most important centers of the Mediterranean, with a vibrant trade and an important place of political, cultural, and commercial links and impact. People from the Eastern Adriatic shore, especially Albanians and Dalmatians (i.e., Croats, Bosnians, etc.) were increasingly present in Algiers as well as in North African Mediterranean in a scale never documented before. Apart from the increase in numbers, in the 16th century also changes the quality of their presence in the Western Mediterranean.Item علاقات التعاون و روابط التحالف الجزائري-العثماني و مسألة سيادة الدولة الجزائرية الحديثة(2022-06-30) سعيدوني, ناصر الدينThis study approaches the issue of Algerian-Ottoman relations and the emergence of the modern Algerian state (1516-1830), and is based on the historical and geopolitical data that allowed Algeria to be a full political entity with an international presence through the alliance between local forces (tribes, zaouias, influential local figures) and the Ottoman power represented by its maritime force led by the Barbarossa brothers. Such an approach imposes a thorough review of French colonial historical theses and those developed by Algerian authors influenced by the colonial perception denying the existence of a modern Algerian state allied to the Ottoman power. This is a long term historical battle whose goal is the restoration of the damaged Algerian historical memory. On this basis, this contribution proposes keys to renew the approach of the determining factors of the pre-colonial Algerian state and the nature of its relations with the Ottoman state as an ally in the fight against the enemy forces in the Western Mediterranean, and by analysing the reality of the Algerian military institution and the system of government in Algeria before the French colonization and the relationship of the Beylik administration with local populations, and by proposing a new approach to international conjunctures determining Algeria’s relations with European states that led to a strategic alliance with the Ottoman power.
