Abstract

*New Edition of the Leading Work on Modern Turkey* 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 Erdogan. Since 2002, Erdogan 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 Erdogan the licence to make good on his repeated promise to bring order and stability under a 'strongman'. Here, leading Turkish expert Soner Cagaptay will look at Erdogan's roots in Turkish history, what he believes in and how he has cemented his rule, as well as what this means for the world. The book will also unpick the 'threats' Erdogan has worked to combat - from the liberal Turks to the Gulen movement, from coup plotters to Kurdish nationalists - all of which have culminated in the crisis of modern Turkey.

Abstract

"Turkey will play a critical geopolitical role in the events of the Middle East. After the attempted coup of July 2016, the spotlight is on Recep Tayyip Erdogan - the powerful leader of the country whose increasingly authoritarian regime has heightened tensions both within and outside the country. Erdogan's crackdown on dissent has been brutal and consistent - hundreds of journalists arrested, academics officially banned from leaving the country, university deans fired and nearly half of the highest-ranking army officers in custody. As opponents accuse his Justice and Development Party (AKP) of heavy-handedness, Erdogan promises to bring order and stability under a 'strongman'. Here, leading Turkish expert Soner Cagaptay looks at where Erdogan comes from in Turkish history, what he believes in, and how he has cemented his rule. The New Sultan tells the story of the increasingly Islamic turkey Erdogan has built, and assesses the threats he faces - from the liberal youth to the Gulen movement, the army plotters and the fallout from the Kurdish question."--Jacket flap.

Abstract

La tentative de coup d’Etat militaire du 15 juillet 2016, suivie d’un « coup d’Etat civil » orchestré par le gouvernement afin d’écarter toute opposition potentielle, a largement fini d’enterrer toute perspective d’adhésion de la Turquie à l’Union Européenne. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de réfléchir aux effets du processus d’élargissement initié par l’UE vers la Turquie au-delà de la question de l’adhésion, et d’analyser les changements qu’elle contribue à induire dans l’action publique turque

Abstract

"Demonstrating how Turkey's politics developed, the book focuses on the causes and consequences of the failed coup d'état on 15 July 2016. The momentous event and its aftermath challenges us to ask to what extent the coup was the cause of Turkey's present crisis, or simply an accelerant of trends already in motion and thus a catalyst for the realization of Erdoğan's latent authoritarian impulses. Bringing together approaches from politics and sociology to history and anthropology, the chapters shed much-needed light on these crucial questions. They offer scholars and non-specialists alike a comprehensive overview of the implications of the attempt and its aftermath in the fields of religion, democracy, the Kurds, the state, resistance and more besides. Its effects have been felt in almost every aspect of Turkish society from religion to politics, yet it came at a time when Turkey was already experiencing significant social and political turmoil under the increasingly authoritarian leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Readers interested in contemporary politics, Turkish and Middle Eastern studies will find the volume useful, as they ponder other cases in this era of democratic retrenchment and global turmoil"--

Abstract

Since the AKP took power in 2002, Turkey has seen a replacement of the state’s elites, a real change of the political system and a redefinition of the state identity. All this has been accompanied by economic development and rapid social transformation. The pro-democratic reforms and improved prosperity in the first decade of the AKP’s rule created the opportunity for Turkey to become part of the West in terms of legal and political standards, while maintaining its cultural distinctness. However, from the point of view of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the leader of a new Turkey, the political reforms turned out not to be a goal per se but a means to the end of achieving a monopoly on power. Once this goal was achieved, Erdogan began leading Turkey towards the status of an autocratic state focused on the Middle East and resentful towards the West. This trend is unlikely to be reversed under Erdogan’s rule. However, even if the government were to change, there would be no return to the Turkey from before the AKP era. In turn, the Turkish public will have to answer the questions regarding its civilisational identity and the vision of the political and social order.

Abstract

À la suite du coup d'État avorté de l'été 2016, Recep Tayyip Erdogan a lancé une très vaste opération de purge des différents services de l'État - mais aussi de la société civile. Cette reprise en main est l'aboutissement d'un long processus. Depuis 2002, la Turquie est dirigée par l'AKP (Parti de la justice et du développement) et par son leader charismatique. Ce pouvoir " musulman-démocrate " a profondément modifié le pays mais le bilan de ce long règne est ambivalent. Les avancées sur le front de la démocratisation ont progressivement laissé place à un autoritarisme rampant et à une politique de réislamisation de la société. Les négociations avec l'Union européenne sont au point mort. Des pas courageux pour la résolution du problème kurde ont été remplacés par une nouvelle offensive répressive, qui s'est étendue à l'ensemble des revendications démocratiques et a révélé le visage autoritaire du pouvoir et sa volonté de mise en place d'un régime présidentiel fort, clairement revendiquée. Dans cet essai documenté, Ahmet Insel nous éclaire sur les facteurs d'ascension de l'AKP, la stratégie politique et la persistance des succès électoraux d'Erdogan malgré les affaires de corruption, l'installation progressive de l'arbitraire et la lutte avec la communauté Gülen. Il montre ainsi les tourments de la société turque, tiraillée entre les conflits ethniques, religieux et culturels, entre peur de perdre son identité socio-historique et désir d'être dans le monde moderne.
