Democratic Transition and the Rise of Populist Majoritarianism
This comparative study explores the impact of populist majoritarianism on Greek and Turkish democratic transition. Using case studies from Greece and Turkey, the author argues that while majoritarianism is often celebrated as a manifestation of popular sovereignty, it can undermine institutional performance and even stifle the process of democratic consolidation, contributing to a confrontational and inefficient democratic regime in cases of transition states where levels of social capital are low and social polarization is high. It is shown that building up a “mild democracy” requires maturity of institutions and an efficient system of checks and balances and implementation control mechanisms, while building consensus and trust in societies torn by ethnic, religious and ideological divides is not a luxury but a permissive condition for democratic consolidation and economic prosperity. This book will be of use to students and scholars interested in the fields of Greek and Turkish politics, comparative politics and democracy.
Presidentialism in Turkey
Parliamentarism has been a presiding characteristic of the Turkish political tradition since the 1876 Ottoman constitution. In 1923, with the founding of the Turkish Republic, modern parliamentarism was implemented in Turkey. Since that time, Turkish politics has been turbulent, with four military coups, a number of short-lived multiparty coalitions, and several ineffective governments. Many scholars have argued that the main reason for this instability is the parliamentary system of government, so Turkey must therefore adopt a presidential system. Presidentialism in Turkey uses both quantitative analysis and country-based comparisons to explore whether such a change might solve Turkey’s m...
The Presidential System in Turkey
This book explores the opportunities and obstacles to a presidential system in Turkey as proposed by the Justice and Development Party (AK Party). Since the formation of Turkey's parliamentary system in 1909, there have been many attempts to replace it with an elected executive branch. After the referendum for constitutional amendment to elect the president by the people in 2007 and the elections of 2014, these discussions have increased in intensity. The author explores these debates chronologically and discusses the broader theoretical framework of these different government systems. He also adds a comparative analysis of elections and democratic transition between Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt.
Criminalising Dissent
This book addresses one of the oldest political offences in the European continent, lèse-majesté, in light of its historical evolution and the threat it poses to a democratic public sphere in modern-day Europe. The Republic of Turkey, which serves as the focal point of this book, epitomises the “chilling” (ab)use of lèse-majesté laws due to the sheer number of criminal investigations on the basis of lèse-majesté as well as the relatively low threshold for permissible criticism in defamation cases concerning the head of state. In this regard, through a comparative analysis encompassing multiple European jurisdictions and international human rights law, this work illustrates that the...
A Pearl in Peril
Known as "the Pearl of the Mediterranean," Izmir invokes a city and countryside blessed with good fortune; it is known to many as the homeland of Ephesus, Bergama, and Sardis. Yet, Turkey's third largest city has an especially vexed past. The Greek pursuit of the Megali Idea leveraged Classical history for 19th century political gains, and in so doing also foreshadowed the "Asia Minor Catastrophe." Princeton University's work at Sardis played into the duplicitous agendas of western archaeologists, learned societies, and diplomats seeking to structure heritage policy and international regulations in their favor, from the 1919 Paris Peace Conference to the League of Nations. A Pearl in Peril r...

Türk İşadamı ve İşletmesi
Sanayi ve ticaret yasamı ve genel olarak ekonomiyle toplumun büyük çoğunluğunu oluşturan tüketici kesimin ilgisi, genellikle kendisine dokunduğu yönleriyle sınırlıdır. Ya eve son alınan elektrikli aletin bastan savma yapıldığından yakınılır, ya da halen mütevazi kazancın bir bölümünden tasarruf amacıyla, en prim getirici ve para değer kaybının önüne geçici şekilde tahvil, altın, döviz vb. alımıyla sınırlıdır. Gelgelelim, ekonomiyle bu düzeyde uğraşan yalın bir birey için, Amerikan filmlerinden fırlamış istisnaî bir yuppie olmadıkça, fili tarife kalkan bir körden fazla basari şansı yoktur. Durum, karşıt uç gibi görülen sanayici, t...
