Placing the period within its historical and contemporary context, Tahir Abbas argues that what it is to be ethnically, religiously and culturally Turkish has been transformed. He explores how issues of political trust, social capital and intolerance towards minorities have characterised Turkey in the early years of the 21st-century. He shows how a radical neoliberal economic and conservative outlook has materialised, leading to a clash over the religious, political and cultural direction of Turkey. These conflicts are defining the future of the nation.Key featuresUses original qualitative data and observational analysis of the Gezi Park protests of 2013 and of a Kurdish community in the southeast of Turkey to explore aspects of political resistance and mobilisationAnalyses attitudes and perceptions of Turkish respondents based on survey data from the European Social SurveyIncludes case studies to provide an insight on intergroup relations, social conflict and cultural cohesion in TurkeyOffers an important contribution to the discussion of Islamism, capitalism and democracy in Turkey 606 $aIslam and politics$zTurkey 606 $aNational characteristics, Turkish 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / General$2bisacsh 607 $aTurkey$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aNational characteristics, Turkish. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / General. 676 $a320.9561 700 $aAbbas$b Tahir$f1970-$0864737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792835103321 996 $aContemporary Turkey in Conflict$93863754 997 $aUNINA
