Book launch of “Why Turkey is Authoritarian: From Ataturk to Erdogan”

November 1, 2018: Halil Karaveli participated in a launch for his new book, “Why Turkey is Authoritarian: From Ataturk to Erdogan” hosted by the Centre for Turkey Studies, London. In the book and in his talk, Halil argued that understanding autoritarianism in Turkey has meaning beyond the country’s borders. In both Turkey and Europe, social democracy is weak, and because of these similarities the country should serve as a warning to the rest of Europe.
