"Informative." - Foreign Affairs Recep Tayyip Erdogan has ruled
Turkey for nearly two decades. Here, Soner Cagaptay, a leading
authority on the country, offers insights on the next phase of
Erdogan's rule. His dwindling support base at home, coupled with
rising opposition, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and
Turkey's weak economy, would appear to threaten his grip on power.
How will he react? In this astute analysis, Cagaptay casts Erdogan
as an inventor of nativist populist politics in the twenty-first
century. The Turkish president knows how to polarize the electorate
to boost his base, and how to wield oppressive tactics when
polarization alone cannot win elections. Cagaptay contends that
Erdogan will cling to power-with severe costs for Turkey's
citizens, institutions, and allies. The associated dynamics, which
carry implications far beyond Turkey's borders-and what they
portend for the United States-make A Sultan in Autumn a must-read
for all those interested in Turkey and the geopolitics of the next
decade.
