Turkey's Difficult Journey to Democracy provides a thorough examination of the evolution of Turkey's democracy to the present day. After the Second World War, Turkey was considered to have made a highly successful transition from a single party authoritarian state to political competition. Yet, within ten years, Turkey had experienced its first military intervention. During the next forty years, the country vacillated between democratic openings and direct or indirect military interventions. The ascendance in the importance of questions of economic prosperity has helped the deepening and maturing of Turkish democracy, but some impediments persist to produce malfunctions in the operation of a...
"This book provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area of information technology as it relates to sustainable economic development and the development of knowledge societies"--Provided by publisher.
Since 1945, Turkey has witnessed no fewer than three breakdowns of the democratic process (1960, 1971 and 1980) and three retransitions to democracy (1961, 1973 and 1983). In this text, the author analyzes 50 years of Turkish politics and provides a theoretical and comparative perspective.
In this comparative study of the religion-state relationship in Turkey and Israel in the modern era, Bounded Integration reveals the influence this dynamic interaction has had on democratic performance in both countries. In societies where a dominant religion serves as an important component of individual and collective identity, the imposition of secular policies from above may not facilitate democratization but may rather impede the embedding of democracy in society. Moreover, the inclusion or exclusion of religion following statehood may facilitate a certain type of path-dependent political culture, one with long-term political consequences. Aviad Rubin's refreshing analytical approach comparing and contrasting the region's only two longstanding democratic entities and the dynamics of religion and the state in two different religions, Islam and Judaism, facilitates generalizable lessons for emergent political regimes in the post–Arab Spring Middle East.
This book comprises a collection of articles and essays published in a variety of journals during the past decades, which seek to identify and analyze the main factors in Turkish politics. Political parties, military interventions, international relations and cultural developments are given wide coverage alongside studies on literature.
Soğuk Savaş döneminde ortaya çıkan çatışmalar, ağırlıklı olarak devlet sınırlarına ve askerî kapasiteye yönelik tehdit oluşturmuştur. Bu bağlamda, devletler arası çatışmalara odaklanan Uluslararası Güvenlik alt-disiplini, büyük devletler arasındaki stratejik rekabet ve güçler dengesini incelemiştir. Devlet sınırları içinde cereyan eden ve toplumsal/insani güvenliği ilgilendiren meseleler analiz dışı tutulmuştur. Soğuk Savaş’ın sona ermesiyle birlikte öne çıkan devlet-içi çatışmalarda ise büyük devletlerin yanı sıra, farklı kimlik ve çıkarlara sahip aşiretler, azınlıklar, terör örgütleri, sivil toplum gibi devlet-altı aktörl...
