Since the Gezi uprisings in June 2013 and AKP’s temporary loss of parliamentary supremacy after the June 2015 general elections, sharp political clashes, ascending police operations, extra-judicial executions, suppression of the media and political opposition, systematic violation of the constitution and fundamental human rights, and the one-man-rule of President Erdogan have become the identifying characteristics of Turkish politics. The failed coup attempt on 15th July 2016 further impaired the situation as the government declared emergency rule at the end of which a political regime defined as the “Presidential Government System” was established in July 2018.

Turkey’s New State in the Making examines the historical specificities of the ongoing AKP-led radical state transformation in Turkey within a global, legal, financial, ideological, and coercive neoliberal context. Arguing that rather than being an exception, the new Turkish state has the potential to be a model for political transformations elsewhere, problematizing how specific policies the AKP adapted to refract social dispositions have been radically redefining the republican, democratic and secular features of the modern Turkish state.

Reviews for Turkey's New State in the Making: Transformations in Legality, Economy and Coercion

'This is an excellent book of critical and courageous argument and examination. It is indispensable for anybody who wants to know what is going on in the Turkish Republic under the Erdogan governments. * Werner Bonefeld, The University of York * This book includes the best scholarly work currently available on the political economy of Turkey. The chapters in this volume address neoliberalism, authoritarianism, and the strengths and fragilities of the rule of the AKP in great detail, consistency, and reaching strikingly innovative and important conclusions. This work is indispensable for anyone working on contemporary Turkey. * Alfredo Saad Filho, King’s College London * Turkish political economy has a new milestone. Empirically- and theoretically-rich, this book relentlessly traverses the neoliberal and financial transformation of Turkey under the AKP, posing an uncompromising challenge to the course of Turkish democracy and development. Read it. I say again: Read it! * Thomas Marois, School of Oriental and African Studies *
