'A sweeping attempt to capture the last 20 years of Turkey, Bechev skilfully traces the radical transformation of Turkey's domestic and foreign policies under Recep Tayyip Erdogan. An outstanding book from one of the best.' Gönül Tol, Middle East Institute 'A compelling narrative, rich in anecdotes, quotes, and carefully chosen empirical examples, enlivens an in-depth historical analysis of Turkey's evolution from the 1970s until today. Bechev charts Turkey's modernization, the rise of Islamist populism, its geopolitical shift from the periphery of the West to its bid for regional hegemony, as well as the weaknesses of the competitive authoritarian regime that its President Erdogan has crafted.' Rosa Balfour, Director of Carnegie Europe 'Bechev analyzes the two decades that witnessed the evolution of President Erdogan from a seemingly EU-friendly "Muslim democrat" to a strongman. He masterfully portrays how the shifts in AKP's foreign policy were intertwined with rising authoritarian practices in Turkey.' Professor Ayse Kadioglu, Sabanci University, "A particular strength of [Bechev's] book is that he does not attribute Turkey's turn from democracy exclusively to Erdogan, but emphasises 'the authoritarian legacies shaping the state,' rooted in the Ottoman Empire and in the long rule of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who founded the modern secular republic in 1923 and held power until his death in 1938."--Tony Barber, Financial Times "Bechev's authoritative account expertly weaves together the two parallel tracks of Turkey's move towards authoritarianism and away from its moorings in the West. . . . He explains not only what happened, but also why."--Hanns W. Maull, Survival "A clear and highly accessible description of what happened in Turkey in the last 20 years. . . . Indispensable for anyone interested in Turkey's recent history."--Resat Kasaba, Middle East Journal "A sweeping attempt to capture the last 20 years of Turkey, Bechev skilfully traces the radical transformation of Turkey's domestic and foreign policies under Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Synopsis
An incisive account of Erdogan's Turkey--showing how its troubling transformation may be short-lived, An incisive account of Erdogan's Turkey--showing how its troubling transformation may be short-lived Since coming to power in 2002 Recep Tayyip Erdogan has overseen a radical transformation of Turkey. Once a pillar of the Western alliance, the country has embarked on a militaristic foreign policy, intervening in regional flashpoints from Nagorno-Karabakh to Libya. And its democracy, sustained by the aspiration to join the European Union, has given way to one-man rule. 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. In a tale of missed opportunities, Bechev explores how Turkey parted ways with the United States and Europe, embraced Putin's Russia and other revisionist powers, and replaced a frail democratic regime with an authoritarian one. Despite this, he 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., An incisive account of Erdogan's Turkey - showing how its troubling transformation may be short-lived Since coming to power in 2002 Recep Tayyip Erdogan has overseen a radical transformation of Turkey.
