Summary: | "Why was Turkey - alone of all the modern states that emerged from the Ottoman Empire - the only Middle Eastern country to evolve lasting competitive political institutions? In response to this timely question, Michele Angrist reconstructs the evolution of proto-democratic norms in Turkey and examines the different paths to dictatorship taken by its neighbors. She argues that the unfolding of democracy and dictatorship in the Middle East can be understood by studying the number, nature, and status of political parties operating at the moment of independence."--Jacket
