Scholars have long argued that political participation tends to
increase with economic and social modernization. In this study of
Turkey, however, the author shows that rapid socio-economic growth
has coincided with a substantial decline in turnout at the polls.
His ecological analysis of subnational aggregate voting data for
the sixties and the explanation of his startling findings form the
core of this up-to-date and comprehensive survey of Turkey's
political development. Turkey is one of very few countries to
combine rapid socio-economic change with a democratic system. The
author demonstrates that in this context modernization tends to
increase autonomous, instrumental, and class-based political
participation, and to decrease mobilized, deferential, and
communal-based political participation. The topics he examines
include: social cleavages and the party system; distribution of
land and income; geographical and social mobility; access to
education; regional variations in voting turnout; urban-rural
differences in voting behavior; socio-economic correlates of voting
activity and party votes; and patterns of participation among
peasants and the urban poor. Originally published in 1977. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
