Abstract: This paper challenges the view that the AKP is 'an Islamist party' and 'hardly a democratic opening'. It puts forward the argument that the AKP’s recent election victory represents a triumph over (1) inward-looking, anti-EU, ultra-Turkish nationalism, (2) unwarranted military interference in politics, (3) selfish Kemalist desires to protect their own privileged position, and 4) misguided secular fears of a secret Islamic agenda |
