Beskrivelse
The Cultural Political Economy of the Construction Industry in Turkey analyses the growth of the popularity of the 'Justice and Development Party' (official acronym: AK Parti or AKP) of Turkey's president Erdogan, through the lens of the construction sector. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the question of hegemony and the electoral success of the AKP - despite frequent economic downturns and ferocious political conflicts including a coup d' tat attempt and rekindled armed struggles. In this book, Ismail Doga Karatepe critically examines the AKP's ability to satisfy the needs and wishes of different social classes and groups. By taking the construction sector as an example, the book analyses these in the context of the changes in the urban landscape of modern Turkey.
