Urban Policy Shapes The 'New Turkey'
Brennan Cusack
In 2013, arguably the largest wave of protests in the Turkey’s modern history started over a few trees. After years of urban initiatives transforming public space into private enterprise, Turks pushed back against a plan to transform Gezi Park in Istanbul’s central Taksim Square into another shopping mall.

Foreign AffairsIn-Depth
Turkey’s European Union journey has been marred by occasional crises and diplomatic rows over the past several years. The crackdown on political opponents that took place in the aftermath of a failed coup in 2016 created a near-perpetual state of tension that defines the turbulent relationship between Ankara and Brussels since then.

Erdogan’s Re-Election in Turkey Does Not Signal a ‘Crisis of Democracy’
Did Turkey Gobble Up Democracy?
Christopher Caldwell
June 29, 2018 1:27 AM
To judge from Western newspapers, the elections on June 24 in Turkey brought a crisis for democracy. The “crisis” is that Turks will continue to be governed by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the perennially popular Islamist former mayor of Istanbul, for whom they voted overwhelmingly, and not by Muharrem Ince, the secularist darling of Western journalists, who lost to Erdogan by 20 percentage points and 11 million votes. In Germany, the Frankfurter Allgemeine calls Erdogan Turkey’s “first elected sultan,” a “master of manipulation.” In London, the Financial Times alluded to opposition warnings of a “one-man regime.”

Erdogan betrayed his own people before the election, and now he has been granted an even freer hand to vigorously pursue any domestic and foreign policy at his whim. The West must now apply zero tolerance toward Turkey and not allow a ruthless and corrupt leader to undermine Western interests in Europe and the Middle East without consequences.

As a ‘kingmaker,’ Turkey’s nationalist faction could bring trouble

In the elections last Sunday that won Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a second term, the country’s citizens cast two votes — one for a president and the other for a parliamentary representative. More accurately, Erdogan could not have won if not for the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), which has emerged as the “kingmaker” of Turkish politics with its support of Erdogan.

Turkey has attacked the EU's appraisal by foreign ministers this week that it was "moving further away" from Europe as president Recep Tayyip Erdogan consolidated his one-man rule over the country in recent elections there. Its EU minister said this could spell the end of a deal to keep migrants in Turkey. The EU was being "unjust and dishonest" as well as "hypocritical and inconsistent", Turkey's foreign ministry said.
