Zustand: New. Making sense of politics in Turkey requires more than an understanding of one man or one party. Turkey is country where multiple parties, ideologies, and politicians compete for the allegiance of voters. Feminists, Turkish nationalists, religious minorities, Maoists, Kurdish nationalists, the real-estate lobby, Islamists, environmentalists, and secularists are just some of the groups that vie for influenceand even these groups are fractured. By looking closely at recent political conflicts and illustrating their connections to a longer history of social struggles, this book presents an account that remains readable without sacrificing the level of detail that is essential for fully appreciating those conflicts. Politics in Turkey looks at each of the major political parties in Turkey and tells the stories of the personalities and conflicts that shaped them. Rather than focusing solely on party leaders, the book considers the lives of supporting figures, power brokers, and politicians who bridge divides within their parties.

Zustand: New. Neither the Ottoman Empire nor the states like Turkey that succeeded it have interests or personalities of their own; they are collections of institutions forged by human beings. It is these human beings who have interests, ambitions, and dreams of what "the state" should look like. Their efforts to realize these visions are shaped by their relationships, personal histories, social obligations, and individual quirks. Focusing on such individuals helps us appreciate the contingency at the heart of state-building projects. The essays contained in Borderline Personalities look at the lives of individuals who shaped and challenged state institutions as much as they were shaped by them. In many cases, these people lived at the literal and figurate edges of the emerging Turkish nation-state. In considering their stories, this book reveals some of the diversity at the heart of Turkey and the wider post-Ottoman world. Editors: Translator: 253 pages. …

Zustand: New. "For more than nine decades, citizens of Turkey have argued over what "Turkey" is and what it means to be Turkish. Rather than give a particular answer, this collection of essays looks at various figures from modern Turkish history who have sought to define Turkey or pushed back against the definitions that others sought to impose on them. The protagonists of these essays include Rauf Orbay, a contemporary of Atatürk but ultimate enemy of the republic; Yilmaz Güney, an award-winning director and escaped convict; Kemal Kerincsiz, an ultra-nationalist lawyer and, temporarily, convicted criminal; and Sait Faik, a dying author whose writing captured a fading Ottoman world. Through the combination of these diverse (and often conflicting) perspectives, these essays offer a panorama of republican Turkey: how it was imagined; how those visions affected the lives of Turkish citizens; and how each generation has offered new definitions of what "Turkey" means."

Zustand: New. In a 2017 referendum, voters in Turkey narrowly approved constitutional changes to centralize political power in the office of the president. The changes would go into effect following the 2018 presidential and parliamentary elections. The promise of this new system was a more unified decision-making process and greater stability. In practice, however, the first presidential term under this new system (2018-2023) was turbulent. The essays collected in this book provide a variety of perspectives on the contentious politics of this era. During these years, tensions increased between Turkey and neighboring countries as well as with the United States. The country was buffeted by crises including a global pandemic. At the same time, Turkey's newly-empowered, president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, sought to assert his independence from the discipline of financial markets by taking a hard line against interest rate increases. Yet, amid so much global uncertainty and tension, this policy contributed to rapid inflation, voter discontent, and dramatic loses for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party at the municipal level. Through analyses of elections, profiles of influential political leaders, and an in-depth history of Turkey's Central Bank, this book offers readers a window into a dramatic and profoundly important period in Turkey's recent history.
