This issue is dedicated to the phenomenon of migrations in history. The idea was to approach migrations diachronically, from the ancient migrations to the modern era and the end of the 19th century. The starting point is the assumption that major patterns, as well as social function of migration, did not change substantially over time, despite significant alterations of external factors, technological progress, quantitative volume, as well as changes and acceleration of the rhythm. Spatially, the focus is on migrations between the Middle East, the Balkans, and East- and Central Europe, extending over an area that represents an “intercontinental bridge” between not only geographic units, but specific cultural, historic, political, religious, societal, ethnic, and even civilizational entities. The aim of the present issue is not only to determine the directions of migrant movement (origin and final destinations), but to analyze the nature of migration, its causes and effects it had on migrants, as well as their original and host communities (and/or states).
Ovaj broj Radova Zavoda za hrvatsku povijest posvećen je fenomenu migracija u povijesti. Zamisao je bila migracijama pristupiti u dijakronoj perspektivi, od prvih povijesnih, starovjekovnih migracija do modernog doba i konca 19. stoljeća, polazeći od pretpostavke da se ključni obrasci, kao i socijalna uloga migracija, nisu bitno mijenjali unatoč znatnim promjenama izvanjskih danosti, tehnološkom napretku, kvantitativnom opsegu te promjenama i ubrzanju ritma migracija. U prostornom smislu, fokus ovoga broja je na migracijama na Bliskom istoku, Balkanu te Istočnoj i Srednjoj Europi, dakle, na prostoru koji do danas predstavlja “interkontinentalni most” između ne samo geografskih cjelina, nego i kulturno, povijesno, politički, vjerski, društveno, etnički, pa čak i civilizacijski zasebnih entiteta. Cilj broja, u navedenom kontekstu, nije samo utvrditi pravce kretanja migranata (ishodište i odredište), nego i analizirati prirodu samih migracija, njihove uzroke i posljedice, kako za migrante, tako i za društva (i države) koja napuštaju i ona u koje se doseljavaju.

The main subject of this article is the relationship between the Ottoman state and semi-nomadic groups in the Ottoman Danubian frontier zone (serhad) in the late 15 th and the first half of the 16 th century. Taking the two extremities of the Danubian frontier zone – the provinces of Smederevo in Serbia and Silistre in the northeastern Balkans – as case studies, the article compares the ways in which the Ottoman state dealt with semi-nomadic Vlachs at one end of the frontier zone and Turcoman yürüks (and related groups) at the other. Placing the subject in the broader context of the historical development of the Danubian frontier zone, the author analyzes the Ottoman state's changing policies toward these two groups. Taking into account the largely different historical legacies and demographic make-ups, the article analyzes the many commonalities (as well as some important differences) in the way the Ot-toman government integrated such groups in its administrative structure. It highlights the process in which such semi-nomadic groups, traditionally utilized by the Ottoman state as auxiliary soldiers, were gradually " tamed " by the state in the course of the 16 th century, becoming gradually sedentarized and losing their privileged status.
