Cette étude nous livre une occasion unique de brosser un portrait fort complexe de la société syrienne contemporaine telle qu’elle transparaît à travers les archives criminelles d’avant la guerre civile de 2011. L’auteur a pu avoir accès à de nombreux dossiers d’Alep et d’Idlib, en plus d’entretiens extensifs avec des avocats, des juges et d’autres experts, et avec des détenus accusés de crimes contre la société ; l’auteur rend compte ici avec acuité des années des deux régimes de Ḥāfiẓ et Bashshār al-Asad. This book gives a unique portrait of Syrian society through the workings of its criminal records in the three decades prior to outbreak of the civil war in 2011. Based on actual crime files from Aleppo and Idlib, in addition to extensive interviews with criminal detainees, lawyers, judges, and court experts, this study manages an in-depth account of Syria under the Baathist rule of the two Asad régimes.

The articles forming the present volume aim to contribute to the rich and evolving historiography on the multiplicity of the actors and the institutions of Ottoman legal system. As the title of the volume suggests, “forms” and “institutions” of justice are a common thread in the contributions. Each article concentrates on a specific historical moment and context in order to chart the articulation of different forms of Ottoman justice. This volume has emerged as an outcome of a workshop organized at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (IFEA) on January 6-7, 2012, in Istanbul. At the outset we grappled with the following question: What were the multiple actors and normative sources that enabled the historians to talk about ‘justice’ across different cultural and historical geographies under the rule of the Ottoman dynasty? Our concern was in part to question the unitary conception of an ‘Ottoman Justice’ and the legal and procedural dominance accorded the kadi in Ottoman historiography.
