| Summary |
This book offers new clarity on three important political concepts: authoritarianism, neoliberalism, and resistance. While debates on authoritarian resurgence have been limited to the examination of political factors (e.g., polarisation, conflict) until recently, the rising literature on authoritarian neoliberalism highlights how the neoliberal restructuring of political economy bolsters the authoritarian tendencies of elected governments both in the Global South and the Global North. This book will be an invaluable resource not only to scholars of Turkey and the Middle East but also to researchers into authoritarianism and neoliberalism around the world. Dr Imren Borsuk is a Research Fellow at the Berlin Forum Transregionale Studien and Stockholm University. Dr Pnar Dinc is a Researcher at the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University. Dr Pnar Sayan is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Beykoz University. Dr Sinem Kavak is a Research Affiliate at Lund University.
