The Political Studies Association’s Turkish Politics Specialist Group invites contributions for an upcoming online workshop and a prospective special issue on the evolving landscape of Turkish politics.
In recent years, Turkey has witnessed dramatic shifts in its political institutions, civil society, and foreign policy orientation. This call seeks papers that critically engage with these developments through innovative theoretical lenses and methodological strategies. We are especially interested in research that explores the interconnectedness of domestic political change and international dynamics.
