Identity Formation and the Political Power in the Late Ottoman Empire and Early Turkish Republic

Turkish sociology in a sociology of knowledge perspective : the double-bind of survival/identity
Mühürdaroğlu, Anıl; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2014)

Regime Change in Contemporary Turkey: Politics, Rights, Mimesis
Polat, Necati (Edinburgh University Press , 2016-08-01)
Turkey has undergone a series of upheavals in its political regime from the mid-19th century. This book details the most recent change, locating it in its broader historical setting.

It then describes the subsequent phase, looking at politics and rights under the amorphous new order.
