{"product_id":"turkeys-difficult-journey-to-democracy","title":"Turkey's Difficult Journey to Democracy","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurkey's Difficult Journey to Democracy  provides a thorough examination of the evolution of Turkey's democracy to the present day. After the Second World War, Turkey was considered to have made a highly successful transition from a single party authoritarian state to political competition. Yet, within ten years, Turkey had experienced its first military intervention. During the next forty years, the country vacillated between\n\u003cbr\u003edemocratic openings and direct or indirect military interventions. The ascendance in the importance of questions of economic prosperity has helped the deepening and maturing of Turkish democracy, but some impediments\n\u003cbr\u003epersist to produce malfunctions in the operation of a fully democratic system. Through studying the Turkish experience of democratization,  Turkey's Difficult Journey to Democracy seeks to provide understanding of the challenges countries that are trying to become democracies encounter in this process. Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes concentrate on the\n\u003cbr\u003ecomparative study of the democratization process that accompanied the decline and termination of the cold war. The geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and\n\u003cbr\u003erelevant experiences in Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46060931154158,"sku":"9780199663989","price":226.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199663989.jpg?v=1736524492","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/turkeys-difficult-journey-to-democracy","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
