An incisive account of Erdogan's Turkey - showing how its troubling
transformation may be short-lived Since coming to power in 2002
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has overseen a radical transformation of
Turkey. Once a pillar of the Western alliance, the country has
embarked on a militaristic foreign policy, intervening in regional
flashpoints from Nagorno-Karabakh to Libya. And its democracy,
sustained by the aspiration to join the European Union, has given
way to one-man rule. Dimitar Bechev traces the political trajectory
of Erdogan's populist regime, from the era of reform and prosperity
in the 2000s to the effects of the war in neighboring Syria. In a
tale of missed opportunities, Bechev explores how Turkey parted
ways with the United States and Europe, embraced Putin's Russia and
other revisionist powers, and replaced a frail democratic regime
with an authoritarian one. Despite this, he argues that Turkey's
democratic instincts are resilient, its economic ties to Europe are
as strong as ever, and Erdogan will fail to achieve a fully
autocratic regime.
