The New Sultan
"In a world of rising tensions between Russia and the United States, the Middle East and Europe, Sunnis and Shiites, Islamism and liberalism, Turkey is at the epicentre. And at the heart of Turkey is its right-wing populist president, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an. Since 2002, Erdo?an has consolidated his hold on domestic politics while using military and diplomatic means to solidify Turkey as a regional power. His crackdown has been brutal and consistent - scores of journalists arrested, academics officially banned from leaving the country, university deans fired and many of the highest-ranking military officers arrested. In some senses, the nefarious and failed 2016 coup has given Erdo?an the licen...
I Will Never See the World Again
Longlisted for the 2019 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction The destiny I put down in my novel has become mine. I am now under arrest like the hero I created years ago. I await the decision that will determine my future, just as he awaited his. I am unaware of my destiny, which has perhaps already been decided, just as he was unaware of his. I suffer the pathetic torment of profound helplessness, just as he did. Like a cursed oracle, I foresaw my future years ago not knowing that it was my own. Confined in a cell four metres long, imprisoned on absurd, Kafkaesque charges, novelist Ahmet Altan is one of many writers persecuted by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's oppressive regime. In this extraordinary memoir, written from his prison cell, Altan reflects upon his sentence, on a life whittled down to a courtyard covered by bars, and on the hope and solace a writer's mind can provide, even in the darkest places.
Erdoğan's Turkey
This book explores the role of religion in the transformation of Turkey under the reign of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party. It attempts to come to terms with the current political crisis in Turkey and the government's move toward authoritarianism.
Erdogan's Path to Authoritarianism
Michael M. Gunter explains why Recep Tayyip Erdogan—the current populist, charismatic, but divisive president of Turkey and arguably the most consequential Turkish leader since Kemal Ataturk—was again reelected in May 2023 despite so many negative factors working against him such as a terribly faltering economy, deadly earthquake, and authoritarian reputation, among others. Gunter analyzes how several different domestic and especially foreign initiatives contributed to his continuing electoral success. Gunter introduces succinctly Erdogan’s storied advancement to authoritarianism, how, although an Islamist, he triumphed by eventually humbling the long-ruling, secular Kemalists and even...
The Enduring Hold of Islam in Turkey
A new history of modern Turkey, focusing on its fifty-year retreat from Kemalist secularism.
Erdogan
Turkki-tietäjän jäntevä reportaasi diktatuurin noususta. He tulevat rajajoen yli yön pimeydessä. Turkin ja Kreikan rajalla näkyy, että Turkissa on tapahtumassa jotain poikkeuksellista. Vanhalle pakolaisreitille on ilmestynyt uusi pakolaisryhmä. Kumiveneillä Evros-joen yli tulee keskiluokkaisia turkkilaisia, opettajia, lääkäreitä ja toimittajia. Myös Suomeen on saapunut turvapaikanhakijoita Turkista, usein väärennetyillä papereilla monimutkaisia reittejä pitkin. He pakenevat yhden miehen maasta, jota johtaa Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Erdoğan tuli valtaan EU-jäsenyyden kannattajana ja uudistajana, mutta nyt hän vie Turkkia kohti yksinvaltaa. Maaliin ei ole enää pitkä matka...
Erdogan's Empire
"Gradually since 2003, Turkey's autocratic leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sought to make Turkey a great power ... Erdogan has picked an unorthodox model in the context of recent Turkish history, attempting to cast his country as a stand-alone Middle Eastern power. In doing so Turkey has broken ranks with its traditional Western allies, including the United States and has embraced an imperial-style foreign policy which has aimed to restore Turkey's Ottoman-era reach into the Arabian Middle East and the Balkans."--
