No one could have predicted that a peaceful sit-in to counter
government plans to raze Istanbul's Gezi park would escalate into a
country-wide protest movement, arguably the most serious political
crisis Turkey, a country often hailed as a 'model' in the region,
has faced in the last ten years.
The protests left 8 dead, more than 8,000 wounded, and the country
deeply polarized. Much ink has been spilled since June 2013 to
explain the Gezi protests in the media, most of it based on hasty
analogies and banal platitudes, referring to a 'Turkish spring'.
Yet no academic analyses of the protests have been published so far
and it is in this context that this collection of essays, the first
academic book on the topic in English, is both timely and
important.
This collection offers a preliminary analysis of the Gezi protests
and addresses the following key questions: 'How can we account for
the protests?' 'Who were the protesters?' 'Why did the Justice and
Development Party government choose to suppress the protests
instead of meeting the demands of the protesters?' and 'Were Gezi
protests in any way connected to protest movements in other parts
of the world?'
