Turkey has a history of multiparty electoral competition going back to 1950, longer than many other nations in the world. Until recently, it was often perceived as a model country that showed the feasibility of democratic governance in a Muslim-majority society. However, the rise of religious-nationalist populism and sociopolitical polarization has resulted in an authoritarian turn that has stifled political liberalization. Turkish foreign policy has had strong linkages with the West but now exhibits a more independent and assertive position. Turkish national identity remains exclusionary as citizens not belonging to the dominant ethnic and religious groups face various levels of discrimination. Political violence persists in the forms of state repression, insurgent attacks, and terrorism; nevertheless, Turkish civil society continues to be resilient. The economy has exhibited sustained levels of growth, though it remains vulnerable to crises. The Oxford Handbook of Turkish Politics includes in-depth analyses of all these issues in conversation with the broader scholarly literature on authoritarianism and democratization, political economy, electoral politics, politics of identity, social movements, foreign policy, and the politics of art. With contributions by leading experts, the Handbook is an authoritative source offering state-of-the-art reviews of the scholarship on Turkish politics. The volume is an analytical, comprehensive, and comparative overview of contemporary politics in a country that literally and figuratively epitomizes “being at the crossroads."

"This book examines to what extent politics in Iceland have been transformed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The book focusses on whether the short-term sudden shock caused by the Great Recession has permanently transformed politics, political behaviour and the Icelandic party system or whether its effect was primarily transitory. These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively, and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries which were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy). This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic politics, Icelandic politics and society, electoral studies, political parties and party systems, representative democracy, political behaviour and more broadly to European and comparative politics"--

La Ve République s’installe à un moment où deux processus complexes et à géométrie variable – la décolonisation, d’une part, et l’essor économique sans précédent, de l’autre – dessinent de nouveaux périmètres pour la vie de la Cité. Après plus de soixante ans d’existence, ce régime, qui apparut à beaucoup comme la structure politique d’accompagnement de la modernisation du pays et de sa métamorphose, semble peiner à conduire la nouvelle mue de la société française au sein d’un monde globalisé. En historien, Jean-François Sirinelli observe le fonctionnement de l’écosystème quinto-républicain. Il en analyse les crises conjoncturelles et éclaire les mouvements structurels de la démocratie française de ces dernières décennies.
