Turkeys New State in the Making
Author: Pınar Bedirhanolu
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1786998726
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Since the Gezi uprisings in June 2013 and AKP’s temporary loss of parliamentary supremacy after the June 2015 general elections, sharp political clashes, ascending police operations, extra-judicial executions, suppression of the media and political opposition, systematic violation of the constitution and fundamental human rights, and the one-man-rule of President Erdoğan have become the identifying characteristics of Turkish politics. The failed coup attempt on 15th July 2016 further impaired the situation as the government declared emergency rule at the end of which a political regime defined as the “Presidential Government System” was established in July 2018. Turkey’s New State in the Making examines the historical specificities of the ongoing AKP-led radical state transformation in Turkey within a global, legal, financial, ideological, and coercive neoliberal context. Arguing that rather than being an exception, the new Turkish state has the potential to be a model for political transformations elsewhere, problematizing how specific policies the AKP adapted to refract social dispositions have been radically redefining the republican, democratic and secular features of the modern Turkish state.

Learning from Gal Oya
Author: Norman Thomas Uphoff
Publisher: Intermediate Technology Publications
ISBN: 9781853393518
Category : Gal River (Sri Lanka)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This first paperback edition - with a new introduction - recounts the drama of a remarkably successful experiment that introduced farmer organization for self-managed development in the largest and most run down, conflict-ridden irrigation system in Sri-Lanka, and now updates the story to record the author's picture of Gal Oya in 1996. Gal Oya, initially considered one of the least desirable areas in the country, became one of the most progressive and peaceful during the 1980's. People reshaped their working and living conditions and accomplished changes no-one previously thought possible. In an unusual combination of description and analysis, Norman Uphoff seeks to interpret the Gal Oya project and draws far-reaching conclusions for participatory development and contemporary social science. He documents and analyses the remarkable progress made by farmers, community organizers, researchers and, finally, policy-makers, iteratively forging progressive changes in the midst of ethnic and political strife.
