Sommario/riassunto

Turkey is the first modern secular state in a predominantly Islamic Middle East. In this major textbook, Feroz Ahmad provides a thorough examination of the political, social and economic processes which led to the formation of a new Turkey. After a chapter on ""the Ottoman Legacy"", the book covers the period since the revolution of 1908 and the development of the new Turkey. Successive chapters chart the progress through the single-party regime set up by Ataturk (1923-



1945), the multi-party period (1945-1960) and the three military interventions of 1960, 1971 and 1980. The book ends
