This book explores the role of religion in the transformation of
Turkey under the reign of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his
Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP). It
attempts to come to terms with the current political crisis in
Turkey and the government's move toward authoritarianism. The
chapters included in this book examine various ideological,
political and social factors that have driven the transformation of
the AKP. The book seeks to answer questions about how and in what
direction have the AKP's objectives and strategies changed in the
last two decades the party has been in power, and the divergence
between professed ideals and practices. The book also focuses on
the major repercussions that the 15 July 2016 coup d'etat attempt
has had on key Turkish state institutions and policies, and how it
has also affected Turkish foreign policy toward regional and
international powers. The book addresses the many gaps and
omissions in earlier studies of the AKP, and posits that there have
been a more complex set of circumstances impacting Turkish politics
since 2002 and that it makes little sense to continue to view
Turkish politics as just a clash between Islam and secularism.
Erdogan's Turkey is a significant new contribution to the study of
Turkish politics and politics in general, and will be a great
resource for academics, researchers and advanced students of
Political Science, International Relations, History, Geography and
Sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal Middle East Critique.
