Why? How have they managed to maintain such a firm hold in the face of social cleavages that pit modernizing, secularist state elites against a conservative and pious majority? Ergun Özbudun uses the lens of Turkey's party and electoral systems to enhance our understanding of the country's polarized politics.Party politics and social cleavages in TurkeyPolitical partiesTurkeySocial conflictTurkeyTurkeyPolitics and government1960-1980Political partiesSocial conflict324.2561Özbudun Ergun570554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816368103321Party politics & social cleavages in Turkey3914733UNINA
