| Publisher Description: Where is Turkey heading? The internal and external policy reorientation of the AKP since the year 2002 makes this question justified. According to the political language of the ruling AKP elite, Turkish society has entered a phase of a 'new Turkey' with more democracy and economic development. One thing is certain: with the rise in power of the AKP, Turkish politics is gaining a new dynamic, which is full of conflict and is leading to reform of the political domain. This anthology explores these processes of change and the continuity of Turkish political culture during this period. It devotes particular attention to the influence of the AKP government's policy on Turkey's political and cultural order. The individual contributions it contains are therefore concerned with the question of the changes in and continuity of political and cultural patterns. With this focus, they allow conclusions to be drawn concerning Turkey's political order and, in particular, the question of democratisation. |
