Description: Fragile but Resilient?Turkish Electoral Dynamics, 2002-2015 Author(s): Ali Carkoglu, Ersin Kalaycioglu Format: Hardback Publisher: The University of Michigan Press, United States Imprint: The University of Michigan Press ISBN-13: 9780472132430, 978-0472132430 Synopsis Ersin Kalaycioglu and Ali ?arkoglu, who conducted surveys comparable to the American National Election Survey for the 2002 and 2007 national elections in Turkey, chart the dynamics that brought the pro-Islamist conservative Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi-AKP) to power in 2002, and that continue to influence electoral politics.? The authors trace the uneven course of democratization in Turkey, as revealed through elections, since the first competitive, multi-party elections in 1950. Since the market liberalization reforms of 1980, Turkey has been rapidly evolving from a closed, agricultural, comparatively underdeveloped polity into an open, industrial state linked to the global economy.? Kalaycioglu and ?arkoglu analyze the geographic and socio-economic dimensions of the 2002 and 2007 election data to show how the consequent socio-economic changes and traditional socio-cultural divisions have affected elections, political parties, and individual voters.? The authors conclude that the historical divide between rural, peripheral, conservative groups and more urban, centrist, and modernized groups not only persists but shapes elections more than ever. This book not only provides an original comprehensive and critical evaluation of the Turkish electoral and party politics, it also offers a case study of voting behavior in a state undergoing both democratization and market liberalization in a rapidly changing and volatile international environment.
