'New Capitalism in Turkey is a theoretically nuanced and empirically rich book. Bu ra and Sava kan provide us with a fresh, detailed and annotated account of the changes taking place in the domain of political economy in Turkey. In doing so, they challenge many commonly-held assumptions about government-business relations, the intra-business relations, the secular-Islamic cleavage, and the political strategies and discourses of the main actors. The data sources of the book are also rich and include a wide range of primary sources, including the ones collected through fieldwork. This timely book should be a required reading for all students of Turkish politics.'--Gamze Cavdar, Middle East Policy Council
