Abstract:
Turkey’s political history is vast and multifaceted. My research aims to explore only a tiny fraction of this great nation’s history. Herein, I explore the most recent trends in Turkish politics. I aim to inform my reader by providing the relevant historical context of the Ottoman Empire and those governments that followed, by explaining how today’s major political parties and processes came to be, and by providing comprehensive research on today’s state of affairs and the challenges Turkey must face moving forward.
