Turkish Politics in a Changing World: Global Dynamics and Domestic Transformations
by E. Fuat Keyman & Ziya Onis

Reviewed by Ceren Mutus

Over the course of the past three decades, Turkish politics has been experiencing a radical transformation leading to deep-seated changes in the traditional structures. Despite serious studies solely pointing out the domestic variables triggering the process, global and regional influences are undeniable driving forces which necessitate a more complex analysis of the post-1980 period of Turkish politics.
