Bechev, Dimitar: Turkey Under Erdogan

Dimitar Bechev traces the political trajectory of Erdogan's populist regime, from the era of reform and prosperity in the 2000s to the effects of the war in neighboring Syria. Bechev argues that Turkey's democratic instincts are resilient, its economic ties to Europe are as strong as ever, and Erdogan will fail to achieve a fully autocratic regime.
