The most significant political development of the post-Cold War era
was, arguably, the diffusion of neoliberalism across the globe. Yet
behind the illusion of abundance and development, the 'rule of the
market' can be violent and destructive, exploiting the environment,
dismissing cultural or historical conservation and ignoring
individual rights. This book now examines the emergence and
consequences of neoliberalism in Turkey. Of particular importance
to the study are the contested spaces - those sites of struggle and
protest - where the impact of this economic system is challenged or
negotiated. The contributors look beyond the neoliberal cities of
the West - Istanbul and Ankara - to take into account the rest of
the country and the groups that are most negatively affected: such
as the Kurds, women and migrants. Chapters consider the complexity
of neoliberalism in Turkey, where the power of the market, the
agenda of the state, and significantly, the country's past, are
shown to have shaped current economic practices and policies.
Contested Spaces in Contemporary Turkey sheds new light on the
societal processes that are re-shaping modern Turkey, a subject
which is of increasing importance considering Erdogan's new model
for an Islam-based state and in the aftermath of the July 2016
military coup attempt. It is at the cutting edge of research on
urban history and social space and will be a significant resource
for scholars of Turkish Studies and Kurdish Studies.
