Abstract (EN)

The word ''politics'' is used today as a science which regulates activities for the provision of public order and the conduct of state affairs. Since it first appeared thoughts about management, scholars have written advice books for the administration of these activities. These books are called ''siyasetnama'' in the eastern societies and in the western societies it is called ''mirror to princes''. Especially in eastern societies, political texts are considered as moral works due to the religious references that the authors used intensively. al-Sayzari lived in the period of the Crusaders and engaged in scientific activities. He wrote Nehcu's Süluk fi Siyaseti'l Müluk (The Administration of the Executives), a qualified example of the classical Islamic policymaking tradition. His work, which includes moral advice on management and war strategies, was presented to Saladin Eyyubi. There are very few studies on this book, which translated in 18th century into Turkish. Italian thinker Niccolo Machiavelli, like al-Sayzari, described his ideas for the ideal ruler in his book named Prince. These works, which are the products of two different cultures and geographies, have been examined with a historical perspective in the context of ideal manager definitions. KEYWORDS Politics, Mirror to Princes, al-Sayzari, Il Principe
