摘要
Turkey presents a prime example of a country where economic crises/successes develop simultaneously with political and social crises/successes. The current governing political party, Justice and Development Party (JDP) had its share of a period with progress in political and social inclusiveness and reforms, and the economic and political successes that come with it. Although it lost its ability to rule alone temporarily as a result of June 2015 elections, subsequently it regained power with unprecedented proportions in the history of the Republic of Turkey. Unfortunately - and very much similarly to its predecessors in the Turkish political history- JDP has lately been showing signs of authoritarianism and exclusiveness domestically, as well as isolationism internationally. These factors are leading to the end of its political life as they bring the era of economic growth and prosperity to an end with them. This paper is trying to establish links with political/social and economic success in the context of Turkish politics and management of the Turkish economy, as well as to observe and to document those links within the experience of JDP. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
