Article abstract:

This analysis reviews the main characteristics of the Turkish party system, presents a historical evaluation of the context of the most recent November 2002 elections and analyses in depth the nature of the patterns that emerge from the provincial election returns. The account underlines the challenges awaiting the newly elected Justice and Development party on the domestic social and economic fronts as well as potentially very dangerous events in foreign relations with the EU and the Cyprus and the Iraqi conflicts.
