Emre Toros on Turkey between democracy and authoritarianism

What this episode covers

Emre Toros, professor of political science and dean of the communications faculty at Ankara’s Hacettepe University, on “Electoral Integrity in Turkey” (Edinburgh University Press). The book weighs up the country’s democratic credentials after over two decades of rule by Erdogan’s party, both in terms of its electoral system and its broader institutional framework. It ultimately describes today’s Turkey as being an ambiguous grey zone, neither straightforwardly democratic nor conventionally authoritarian. Become a member to support Turkey Book Talk.
