Turkey Under Erdogan

An incisive account of Erdoğan’s Turkey—showing how its troubling transformation may be short-lived

Description

An incisive account of Erdoğan’s Turkey – showing how its troubling transformation may be short-lived.

Since coming to power in 2002, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has overseen a radical transformation of Turkey. Once a pillar of the Western alliance, the country has embarked on a militaristic foreign policy, intervening in regional flashpoints from Nagorno-Karabakh to Libya. Its democracy, sustained by the aspiration to join the European Union, has given way to one-man rule.

Dimitar Bechev traces the political trajectory of Erdoğan’s populist regime, from the era of reform and prosperity in the 2000s to the effects of the war in neighbouring Syria. In a tale of missed opportunities, Bechev explores how Turkey parted ways with the United States and Europe, embraced Putin’s Russia and other revisionist powers, and replaced a frail democratic regime with an authoritarian one. Despite this, he argues that Turkey’s democratic instincts are resilient, its economic ties to Europe are as strong as ever, and Erdoğan will fail to achieve a fully autocratic regime.

Dimitar Bechev's book offers a comprehensive exploration of Turkey's transformation over the past two decades, not simplifying its political shifts solely as the work of Erdoğan. The analysis delves into the historical and systemic influences from the Ottoman Empire to Atatürk's rule, contributing to the current political climate. Reviewers praise Bechev for his engaging writing style, insightful narrative, and detailed examination of domestic and foreign policy changes during Erdoğan's tenure.
