Amazon.com description: Product Description: For much of the last thirteen years, Turkey rode a wave of political, social, and economic success. When the AK Party came to power in 2002, it pursued a progressive and democratic agenda which resulted in the advancement of democratic and human rights and widespread economic growth. Two landslide election victories reaffirmed the AK Partyâs successes, and Turkey was held up to the world as an example of the peaceful co-existence between Islam and democracy. So now we ask: what went wrong?
After the AK Party secured its third sweeping victory in the 2011 Parliamentary elections, Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan suddenly veered off "the train to democracy" and began pursuing his personal agenda. The result has been four years of brutal crackdowns on public demonstrations, the criminalization of the free press and internet, and the deliberate polarization of society through hate speech and fear mongering. What was once a growing democracy has become a burgeoning police state. All sections of society have suffered, but few have suffered more than Hizmet, a peaceful civic movement that has been the victim of a massive witch-hunt as the government has sought scapegoats for its increasingly corrupt behavior. Such a witch-hunt should serve as a warning to the whole of Turkish society: even the peaceful are not safe.
This collection of articles shed light on ErdoÄanâs transition from Muslim democrat to authoritarian leader, analyzing events as they happened. They present a variety of perspectives on Turkeyâs unique position in the Middle East, its relationship with the USA, ErdoÄanâs extreme reactions to any form of opposition, and his escalating authoritarianism and witch hunt.
