Tóm tắt

The author presents an in-depth examination of Turkey’s development. This essay briefly covers the history of secularism in Turkey, the secular revolution of the early 1920s and today’s multi-party system. The Turkish model has both strengths and weaknesses: while the system succeeds in setting limits on authoritarian regimes, it has failed to implement a full liberal democracy.
