It has been trying to join the former camp for decades, but has not yet made substantial progress in this endeavour. \u003cp\u003eThis book documents the four main causes of the â oedisease⠝ which troubles the Turkish democracy: namely, socio-economic underdevelopment, the dependent middle classes, the perpetuation of the â oeKurdish Issue⠝, and the weak opposition play a significant role in the shaping of the modern Turkish political system. It shows that, following the post-Cold War trend of the developing world of establishing a hybrid majoritarian political system, the Turkish political system constituted the conservative response of the ruling elites to the countryâ (TM)s socio-political changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Magdalene Antreou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527542254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527542259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magdalene Antreou","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518819283199,"sku":"9781527542259","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6adb957-eed3-49d1-ab11-40c775a70ee4.jpg?v=1778735766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ailing-turkish-democracy-magdalene-antreou-9781527542259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
