Turkish Nationalism, Nietzsche, and the Culture War

Siyaset

Turkey has just had its second round presidental election, and Erdoğan has secured his third term - dashing the hopes of the Turkish opposition. But what does this mean for the deep divisions within Turkish society and how is life likely to look for half the country that didn't vote for the AKP-MHP alliance? To answer these questions, and more, is Selim Koru - a Fellow in the Eurasia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and an analyst at the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV). Selim has also recently launched Kulturkampf, a critical resource on modern Turkish politics.
