Summary

This chapter deals with the practice of justice for the tribal societies which demonstrates the fields of tribal autonomy and sheds light on the role of the empire in the solution of tribal disputes. While the imperial authorities carefully abstained from intervening in intra-tribal disputes and entirely left them to the tribal judicial system, they played a significant part in the solution of many inter-tribal conflicts due to their influence in the imperial order. Again negotiation was the principal method to solve the Bedouin disputes. It can be concluded in light of the chapters outlined here that the state could function in the desert and countryside of Ottoman Syria and Iraq by virtue of reconciliation with the tribes and due to their support.
