Preview Turkey and The West: Changing Political and Cultural Identities
Description:
Since Turkey’s formal application for full membership of the European Community, the debate over whether Turkey belongs in Europe or in the Islamic Middle East has acquired new significance. This book looks at Turkey’s evolving sense of identity in the light of political and social changes, including greater interaction with the West, particularly since the formation of the modern state under Kemal Ataturk. Subjects covered include the role of the military, the press, writers and academics; the survival of bureaucratic elites; the surprising - to outsiders - importance of engineers in Turkish society; ‘guest-workers’ in Europe; case studies of leading businessmen; and the reaction of Islamic intellectuals against industry and technology.
