This book analyzes how AKP's embedded intellectuals operate as
media spin doctors, exploring their transformation from
passionately engaged intellectuals into apparatchiks. This project
adapts a post-Soviet geography approach to the media,
intelligentsia, and political discourse as derivative of
authoritarian regimes to the Turkish context. It offers a fresh
look at the Turkish political and intellectual scene and a
comparative study of the populist-authoritarian politics of Turkey.
Situated in the literature on the post-Soviet authoritarian regimes
and their ways of governing, as well as their manipulation of
public opinion, the book analyzes AKP-aligned intellectuals as
apparatchiks. Gurpinar explores the different constellations of
pro-AKP intellectuals vindicating the AKP regime from various
angles, including: liberal/progressive intellectuals who initially
supported the party for its liberal vistas but continued their
support by twisting their progressive rhetoric; Islamist
intellectuals blending their Islamism with populism; and national
security intellectuals who joined after the AKP came to propagate a
national security agenda. The book also provides an overview of the
mechanisms of political technology, including the media landscape
and its running by the AKP, intellectuals themselves as operators
of political technology, and the problem of "cultural power." The
book will be of interest to those studying comparative
authoritarian politics, populism, political communication, and
scholars of Middle East and Eastern Europe.
