This study is highly recommended not only for the English students of Turkish politics and democracy but also for the Turkish reader as she can enjoy several fascinating stories about prominent Turkish political leaders., This volume is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of Turkey's democratic experiences., ...the book serves as a major contribution to the understanding of the historical as well as the current agents of Turkey's democracy., A rich compendium of insights--penetrating and often provocative--into the worldviews, leadership styles, and governing philosophies of the people who have dominated Turkey's unsteady experiment in democracy. The leader-by-leader analysis is an excellent approach for understanding a democratic political culture in which personalities have usually overshadowed parties and institutions., Heper and Sayan, two leadings scholars of Turkey, offer a high-quality and ambitious study that presents modern Turkish political history via the country's chief executives.

Synopsis
Since the founding of the modern Turkish republic in 1923, Turkey's political leaders have been decisive in shaping the development of their country's democratic patterns and processes. Beginning with Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Political Leaders and Democracy in Turkey analyzes the origins, political careers, beliefs, and policies of eleven of modern-day Turkey's most influential leaders. The chapters offer a unique perspective into the complex and fascinating world of Turkish political leadership and the transition to, and consolidation of, democracy. This crucial addition to Turkish studies and comparative politics is the first book to undertake a systematic study of the role political leaders have played in shaping the successes, as well as the shortcomings, of Turkey's grand democratic experiment.
