Dr. nars book is an important contribution to Turkish political science, not only because it is one of the very few studies on political parties per se, but also because of the multiple methodologies and multiple levels of analysis he undertakes for his study. Reading through the book, we see that he makes use of history content analysis, empirical findings, survey results, and statistical data meticulously. His wide knowledge on theory enables him to undertake multiple levels of analysis, including party organization (from leadership to membership structures), ideology, and different forms of political participation (from voting behavior to clientelism). He concludes by comparing examples from three countries. It is this multifacetedness that makes the book valuable and interesting.

This remarkably rich study, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous and innovative, is a major contribution to a burgeoning literature on contemporary Turkey. It goes far beyond simple description to provide a compelling analysis of how the AKP has both attracted and retained support. In particular, nar excels at showing how the AKP has bonded with voters at the local level, utilizing both its religious appeal as well as its ability, literally, to deliver the goods. This is an important work that engages with numerous literatures in political science and deserves wide readership.

Paul Kubicek , Professor of Political Science, Oakland University, and Editor of Turkish Studies

The Decline of Democracy in Turkey is a well-written book which will be of interest to scholars who want to expand their horizons concerning the decisive factors that shape the rise of hegemonic parties. By focusing on the case of [the] Justice and Development Party in Turkey, nar enhances our understanding of hegemony building in general and offers a penetrating analysis of party politics in contemporary Turkey.

Ziya ni , Professor of International Political Economy, Ko University

The Decline of Democracy in Turkey: A Comparative Study of Hegemonic Party Rule offers the readers a systematic analysis of the pro-Islamist Justice and Development Partys ascendancy and dominance in Turkish politics. This meticulously researched book explains the political, social, and economic forces that contributed to the AKPs meteoric rise in electoral competition and its consolidation of power as a hegemonic party that has increasingly undermined democratic institutions and practices. nar has written an insightful and informative book that also advances an original theory on the emergence and maintenance of hegemonic parties in world politics. Based on a wealth of empirical evidence and findings of field research in local politics, this book makes an important contribution to the comparative study of hegemonic party rule and to the literature on contemporary Turkish politics.

The Decline of Democracy in Turkey

This book explores the roots of the decline of democracy and the rise of hegemonic parties in Turkey by comparing the Justice and Development Party (AKP) with other comparable cases throughout the world.

Offering a novel analysis on the rise of hegemonic parties, this book incorporates analysis of state-society relations and institutionalist approaches. A hegemonic party is a single political party that dominates the scene in multiparty elections for extended periods of time. Focusing on the cases of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Russia, and other countries throughout the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Europe, the book proves that hegemony building is possible through the combination of societal and institutional factors at the individual, local, and national levels. Multilingual comparative content analysis, rigorous statistical tests, and in-depth elite-level interviews support this theory, based on an extensive fieldwork analysis.

Analyzing contemporary as well as historical cases of hegemonic parties, the volume will be of interest to researchers and students in a broad range of areas including democratization, political parties, and Turkish politics.
