Tomorrow marks 10 years since Turkey's failed coup attempt. With @hakkitas.bsky.social, we unpack how the events of 15 July 2016 catalyzed a decade of "epic autocratization." Epic in scale, epic in the narrative of "destan" the AKP used to legitimize it. www.giga-hamburg.de/en/publicati...

In the aftermath of Turkey’s failed coup attempt of 15 July 2016, a state that binds citizens to the regime was constructed. In this #GIGAFocus, @liselhintz.bsky.social and @hakkitas.bsky.social analyse a decade of coup-fuelled #autocratisation in #Turkey: www.giga-hamburg.de/en/publicati...

Einst als „türkisches Modell“ von Islam und Demokratie gefeiert, ist die #Türkei zu einem globalen Kokain-Drehkreuz geworden. Im neuesten #GIGAFocus analysiert @hakkitas.bsky.social wie die Türkei zum Spielplatz für die #Mafia wird. ➡️ Jetzt lesen: www.giga-hamburg.de/de/publikati...

By dismantling institutions deemed as obstacles to the popular will, populism leaves its opponents no recourse but direct confrontation, and if the streets fill with protest, that is the populist power’s own doing. This is what is happening now in Turkey. #saraçhane #imamoğlu
