This volume offers a variety of perspectives on Turkey's democratic backsliding since 2010 as the ruling Justice and Development Party and President Recep T. Erdogan have consolidated their rule. It highlights numerous historical, ideological, and structural forces that have contributed to this process, explores the weaknesses of the opposition and civil society actors, examines how the changing political economy has contributed to growing authoritarianism, and notes how growing authoritarianism has impacted different political and social actors. It also suggests some factors that might help reverse the current processes of de-democratization.

Relazione
"This volume offers a refreshing and unique perspective to explaining Turkey's authoritarian drift by exploring the connections between institutional continuities from the days of the Ottoman Empire with contemporary cultural, economic, societal and political realities. I highly recommend this volume to all who are interested in acquiring a deeper and broader understanding of Turkey's de-democratization." -Kemal Kirisçi, Senior Scholar, Brookings Institution
