Abstract:

 

and democratic consolidation. In the first chapter, he notes the historical  background of civil society in Turkey. However, the third and the fourth chapters  lack knowledge on historical background. Usul’s statement on p. 141 is an example  in this regard: “Turkish democracy, from the beginning, has been a story of a series  of political crisis which have constantly hindered democratic consolidation in  Turkey”. However, these crises are hardly mentioned. Coups d’état are touched  upon briefly; but readers might like to be informed about fluctuations of Turkish  democracy more elaborately. Similarly, on p. 25, he refers to Putnam’s and  Gourevitch’s arguments on democratization, but he does not establish the link  between these arguments and the case of Turkey. It might have added more insight  to the study if he could establish that link.
