Contents:

Setting the scene -- Historicising pluralism and monoculturalism -- Insights on intolerance towards minorities -- Perspectives on the 'Kurdish issue' -- The Gezi Park awakening -- Exploring trust in society and politics -- Conclusion -- Postscript : 'a gift from God'.

Summary: New perspectives on ethnic relations, Islam and neoliberalism have emerged in Turkey since the rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2002. Placing the period within its historical and contemporary context, Tahir Abbas argues that what it is to be ethnically, religiously and culturally Turkish has been transformed. He explores how issues of political trust, social capital and intolerance towards minorities have characterised Turkey in the early years of the 21st-century. He shows how a radical neoliberal economic and conservative outlook has materialised, leading to a clash over the religious, political and cultural direction of Turkey. These conflicts are defining the future of the nation.
