Produktbeschreibung

Turkey's modern history has been full of instability and continuing contradictions. The nature of national identity and its relationship to the state continues to be an issue and Turks are still faced with the conflict between the twin goals of "joining the West" and preserving their own cultural forms. The emergence of Islamicism as a political ideology has helped to shape politics in Turkey, as it has had to compete in the political market place with other, secularist, parties and to play the game according to the rules of secular democracy, rather than a millenarian revolutionary vision. However, there are growing doubts as to whether secular constitutional democracy is safely anchored within the system of government in the country.

Inhaltsangabe

The Review - Daniel Mandel
"This is a useful scholarly compendium of the sort we have come to expect
from Sylvia Kedourie."
"There is no doubt that the contributors to this study have been judiciousy
chosen and that the book as a whole is a useful compendium of scholarship
on Turkey."
Southeast European & Black Sea Studies
"subject of great interest to those who wish to understand the political,
ideological and social environment in Turkey during the Kemalist
era...useful and refreshing in that the majority of its papers seek to
widen the lens through which the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey are
usually studied and understood.
