{"product_id":"why-turkey-is-authoritarian-halil-karaveli-9780745337555","title":"Why Turkey Is Authoritarian: Right-Wing Rule from Atat?k to Erdogan","description":"For the past century, Turkey has been seen by many as always on the verge of becoming a truly Westernized liberal democracy--only to have democracy lose ground time and again to authoritarianism. Why has that been the pattern, and what role have culture, identity, and religion played in Turkey's struggle with democracy? \u003cbr\u003e This book presents a clear analysis and explanation, showing how cultural prejudices about the Muslim world have informed ideological positions in a way that has ultimately disabled the left within Turkey, leaving it unable to transcend artificial cultural categories and promote broad democratic solidarity. As the populist right mounts challenges around the world, the history of \"democracy\" in Turkey offers instructive lessons for activists there and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Halil Karaveli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745337554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745337555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Halil Karaveli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925857239295,"sku":"9780745337555","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_72188cf5-fb72-482e-858c-69e68e16f50f.jpg?v=1681079780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-turkey-is-authoritarian-halil-karaveli-9780745337555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
