The article studies the specific aspects of statehood and governance in the Timurid state in the 15th-16th centuries. The study of statehood in the medieval Islamic East is based on the need to take into account the political and social conditions of that time. It is shown that the Timurid statehood was formed on the basis of the combination of nomadic Turkic-Mongol military governance traditions with the settled Persian-Islamic governance experience. The views of M. Weber, S.N. Eisenstadt, M.G.S. Hodgson and M.E. Subtelny are analyzed on the example of the Timurid statehood.

The study identifies three main pillars of power in the Timurid state. They are the foundation of the supreme power on the dynastic principle, the important place of military structures in the life of the state and society, and the system of governing territories through herders. The relationship between these forms of government, the relationship between the central government and military emirs and the owners of the suyurgol are revealed. The features of the Timurid statehood are compared with the administrative systems of the Ottoman Empire, the Safavid state and the Golden Horde. At the end of the study, the conclusion was made that when studying the Timurid state, it is necessary to take into account the harmony of the traditions of nomadic and sedentary statehood.
