Abstract

In the 16th - first half of the 19th century, one of the distinctive features of the state administration of the rulers of the Shaybanid, Ashtarkhanid, and Manghit dynasties was the structure of the divan, but its terms and full description have not been fully covered. This article attempts to highlight certain aspects of the divan system in the Bukhara Khanate based on historical sources and archival documents.
