Description
The New Sultan: Erdogan and the Crisis of Modern Turkey by Soner Cagaptay is a comprehensive analysis of the current state of Turkey under its right-wing populist president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since 2002, Erdogan has consolidated his power through military and diplomatic means, solidifying Turkey's position as a regional force. This book delves into Erdogan's roots in Turkish history, his ideology, and how he has maintained control, as well as the threats he has faced and overcome. Erdogan's rule has been marked by brutal crackdowns on dissent, including the arrest of journalists, academics, and high-ranking military officers. The 2016 coup attempt has given him a licence to implement his vision for Turkey, which is at odds with liberal Turks and other groups. Cagaptay examines these tensions and their implications for global politics. This book provides an in-depth look at Erdogan's leadership and the crisis of modern Turkey, shedding light on the complex web of interests and ideologies that shape the country's future.
