As a result, they hoped that dismantling military tutelage and the intellectual infrastructure of Kemalism would finally enable Turkey\u2019s complete democratization. Yet Erdogan\u2019s consolidation of power has forced a reconsideration of this assumption and prompted an ongoing debate about how those supporting liberal democracy today should approach Turkey\u2019s Kemalist heritage. This discussion examines how disillusionment with the AKP is reshaping academic approaches to Turkey and what that might mean for the future of Turkish politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><u><span lang=\"EN-US\">Participants:<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b>\u0130lker Ayt\u00fcrk<\/b><span class=\"x_apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>is associate professor at the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Bilkent University, Ankara and teaches Turkish political history.
