Reflections on the Centenary of the Republic of Turkey
Paul Kubicek, Paul Kubicek
About This Book
This book provides both a retrospective and prospective look at Turkey on the occasion of the country's centenary. It covers numerous important issues, including political, economic, and cultural development, the role and performance of political institutions, and foreign policy and Turkey's place in its region and the wider world.
The Republic of Turkey's centenary in 2023 is an opportune time to assess the country's achievements and shortcomings as well as look ahead as to how Turkey may cope with current challenges. This volume, comprised of empirically rich and theory-informed analytical essays written by a global collection of leading scholars on contemporary Turkey, addresses many central issues that bear both on the Republic's history as well as on major political, social, economic, cultural, and foreign policy issues that confront Turkey today. Much focus is given to particular "turning points" in the past as well as how 2023, during which Turkey had a highly-contested and polarized election, may also serve as a critical juncture for the country.
Reflections on the Centenary of the Republic of Turkey will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of Middle Eastern studies and Turkish history, politics, and foreign policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Turkish Studies.
