This study aims to analyze the conflicts between the institution of the Emirate (the military class, or “people of the sword”) and the Ministry (the administrative class, or “people of the pen”) during the Seljuk and Khwarazmian periods, with emphasis on their most significant consequences.
Based on the historical method, the findings of the research indicate that the Ministry constituted one of the main pillars of government, while the Emirate was responsible for providing military force during these eras. The establishment of a standing army in the Seljuk period, the implementation of the Aqta ‘(land grant) system, and the strengthening of the economic foundations of the emirs transformed the “people of the sword” into a military aristocracy. The reduction of territories under the sultan’s direct control, reliance on the military power of the emirs, and the transformation of the atabegs’ role from a social to a political one led to the increasing empowerment of the emirs and the growth of their centrifugal tendencies.
In the Khwarazmian period, the continued use of the Aqta ‘and atabeg systems preserved the power of the emirs. Other findings of the study show that during periods of weakness among the Khwarazmian and Seljuk rulers, the emirs exploited the central government’s weakness and the inefficiency of the bureaucracy to intensify their separatist tendencies. Consequently, they contributed significantly to the fragmentation of the state by forming independent governments and dynasties.
