The end of the Turkish model /
Omer Taspinar.
- 2014
Considers what has gone wrong in Turkey: under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan the country was initially seen as a shining example of "good governance, Muslim tradition and secularism" but is now sliding into authoritarianism, conservatism and instability. The change is said to be due to too much emphasis on winning elections and too little on strengthening liberal democracy. Notes the risks of continuing on this path which include the possibility of re-emergence of the military in politics.
