Turkey Challenges of Continuity and Change

The authors put issues relevant to Turkey today - such as consolidating democracy, dealing with economic development issues, improving its human rights record and its foreign policy - in an historical context, allowing comparisons with other late developers in the world and reflecting the complexity of Turkish political and socio-economic developments. Turkey also argues that the modernisation process that started in the 19th century, with all its elements including secularisation and Westernisation, has taken root.Altunisik, Meliha Benli is the author of 'Turkey Challenges of Continuity and Change', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415287104 and ISBN 0415287103.
