Official synopsis Publisher
“In this way the book analyses the process of state-building which has occurred in Turkey from the changes developing during the Ottoman Empire to the organisation of the modern-day government. It focuses on issues concerning the state’s relationship with civil society, particularly those that arise from the interaction between the Turkish majority and non-Turkish minorities. It traces the contours of Turkey’s ‘modernisation’ with the intention of formulating a fresh way to approach state development in countries on the global economic periphery, particularly those attempting to effect closer ties with Northern markets. It also highlights issues of social changes pertinent to states grappling with issues relating to political Islam, minority identities and irredentist dissent.”–BOOK JACKET.
