Political Parties in Turkey

Turkey's growing international profile, candidacy for the European Union, and persistent democracy has led to a growing interest in how the country is governed. This work provides detailed portraits of the seven main political parties by Turkish experts who are close observers of these institutions. In addition to providing an analytical survey of Turkish politics today, the book also provides a case study on the problems of developing deep-rooted democracy, conflicts between state interest groups and the evolution of party systems.
