Description
Turkey's ruling party has developed an international media system to promote its image and counter criticism. Bilge Yesil examines this English-language communication apparatus, exploring its objectives, outcomes, and implications. The AKP's media strategy involves promoting Turkey as a rising power opposed to imperialism and claiming to be the voice of oppressed Muslims worldwide. This approach is used to further the party's geopolitical and economic goals, while also obfuscating facts with identity politics and demonizing the West to aggrandize the East. By analyzing this complex communication system, Yesil sheds light on how history, religion, and identity are used to pursue complementary agendas and tighten the AKP's grip on power.
