Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization, this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns, such as rights, freedoms, capabilities and duties.

Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork (1995 to the present), collected oral histories, historical documents ...

This research began when I came to the United States in January 2015 through the SAR program. I wanted to know the answers t...
