Since the 1980 military coup in Turkey, much of the history and
politics of the country can be described as a struggle between
democracy and authoritarianism. In this accessible account of the
country's politics, society and economics, the authors delve into
the causes and processes of what has been called a democratic
'backsliding'. In order to explore this, Yesim Arat and Sevket
Pamuk, two of Turkey's leading social scientists, focus on the
mutual distrust between the secular and Islamist groups. They argue
that the attempts by a secular coalition to circumscribe the
Islamists in power had a boomerang effect. The Islamists struck
back first in self-defence, then in pursuit of authoritarian power.
With chapters on urbanization, Kurdish nationalism, women's
movements, economic development and foreign relations, this book
offers a comprehensive and lively examination of contemporary
Turkey and its role on the global stage.
