This monograph by Barbara Jelavich, Professor of History at the University of Indiana and author of A Century of Russian Foreign Policy and many other books and articles, treats the relationship of the European powers and the Ottoman government in connection with the Straits question during the period from 1870, when Alexander I1 of Russia denounced the Black Sea clauses of the Treaty of Paris, to 1887, when a radical change in international alignments basically affected the status of the Straits issue. Major emphasis in the first part of the book is placed upon the actions of the Porte immediately prior to and during the Black Sea Conference which was con- vened in London in 1871 to discuss the Russian bid to revise certain terms of the Treaty of Paris. The Porte, in part be- cause of the favorable international situa- tion, but also in part because its adminis- tration was as capable and efficient as any administration the Ottoman Empire had pp., throughout the century, played an inde- 33 pendent and important role in the negoti- ations and emerged from the conference with minimal losses and relatively untar- nished prestige. Thereafter her position was drastically reversed. Because of polit- ical instability and economic decline internally, and, on the international scene, the adoption by the great powers of a more aggressive policy of imperial expansion which envisaged the Ottoman Empire as a prime area for partition, the Porte experienced a precipitous decline in prestige and influence. In the second half of the book the feeble and ineffective efforts of the new and frequently inept Ottoman govern- ment to thwart foreign penetration of its territory during the two decades after 1871 are discussed, but the focus of attention is upon the great imperial strug- gle between the major powers, and espe- cially between England and Russia, over the Straits question and certain closely related issues.
