N2  - President Erdoğan has been playing the authoritarian’s game for some time now, as his repressive regime established itself firmly and he has already secured his place in history books. Yet, the nature and the meaning of his legacy will be determined by people who observe, record, and study his leadership. Under the tense and uncertain conditions of this regime, segments of society in Turkey are still actively responding to the onslaught of authoritarian measures, coalescing at diverse sites of repression, protesting lack of transparency and rule of law, arbitrary state action against citizens, or outright extractivist practices against humans and nature. As the determination and bravery of these activists has to be noted, this volume continues with that critical task of detailing, examining, and analyzing the decline of one of the twenty-first century democratically elected governments into a domestically punitive and regionally aggressive authoritarian regime.
