President Erdoğan’s resilience as Turkey’s leader makes for an extraordinary political study of longevity, charisma and strategic decision-making. Uncovering the person behind the persona, M. Hakan Yavuz draws on 250 first-hand interviews to untangle the web of literary, religious and biographical influences that shaped Erdogan’s personality, ideology and world view. With chapters covering the Gezi park protests, the clash between the AKP and Gülen movement, the Kurdish question and the country’s projected image as a major international power, Yavuz explores how Erdoğan has created a ‘New Turkey’ – a hybrid political entity, neither East nor West, democratic nor dictatorial, Islamic nor secular.

After years of fieldwork and interviews, Yavuz has rejected the predominantly essentialist readings of Erdoğan’s policies as reflecting his natural authoritarian personality or the fact that he always has been Islamist. In this work, Yavuz meticulously makes the case that Erdoğan’s personality, leadership identity and political ideology shift continuously. This book is a must-read for anyone who desires to understand Turkey’s greatest political crisis as we approach the centennial of the country’s founding as a modern Republic.
