التغير السياسي الاجتماعي والثقافي في تركيا

About the book

Contemporary Turkey has experienced numerous changes and transformations from the founding of the Republic to the present day. The roots of these transformations are linked to Turkey's history, civilization, and relations with its neighbors.

Carrying very distinct human components from both the Arab world and the geography extending from the Balkan Peninsula to Bosnia, this neighborhood has enriched the civilizational experience with countless ideas; not least among them is enlightened Sufi thought. Turkey has been and continues to be a beacon and a pillar for Muslims in Europe.

There is no doubt that Turkish society is a living society interacting internally, mutually influencing its neighbors, and orienting itself toward its own unique new goals. Prior to and during this process, the emergence of new phenomena was inevitable: these phenomena and leaps arising from the change in the political composition, and consequently in the social and demographic structure. In order to discuss these phenomena by first presenting them and then offering ideas and solutions, this book was brought forth through the interviews Prof. Dr. Yasin Aktay conducted with Turkey's intellectuals and academics.
