The Turkish deep state : state consolidation, civil-military relations and democracy

The deep state ranks among the most critical issues in Turkish politics. This book offers a path dependent explanation of the emergence and trajectory of the deep state, traces its (in)formal sources in the Ottoman Empire, sheds light on the causal mechanisms at work in its functioning and the requisites for democratic consolidation.
