Summary

At the beginning of a new millennium, Turkey finds itself at a critical juncture in its democratic evolution. This momentous event has been precipitated by its desire to enter into the European Union and the recent financial crisis it has faced, both of which have fuelled the need for the creation of a strong, democratic Turkey. This book combines an analysis of social, political and economic determinants of Turkish politics with an exploration of the different dimensions of the republican model of Turkish citizenship, thus providing the reader with a comprehensive account of Turkish modernity and democracy. Consisting of a collection of innovative and influential essays written by prominent scholars, this book gives the reader an historical and sociological understanding of Turkey and adds a new dimension to the ongoing discussion surrounding global citizenship and global identity.
