It provides an incisive, comprehensive, and convincing analysis of the rise of the party and, more importantly, its leader Erdogan to the extremely powerful executive position in Turkish politics. His work is original, unfailingly eloquent, instructive, timely and inspiring. In a time when we have been observing the rise of competitive authoritarianism and democratic backsliding on a global scale, Baykan's work will exert great influence for the academic and policy-oriented studies and discussions, not only in the Turkish context but also in the fields of Political Science, Comparative Politics and Political Theory.

Beside its Islamist credentials, Erdo?an's JDP consistently and convincingly presented itself as the 'populist' defender of the downtrodden sectors of Turkish society. However, with Erdo?an's rise as the popularly elected president in 2014, Turkey's already fragile democratic system was driven in a more authoritarian direction. Shifting the focus away from structural factors, this book analyzes the political appeal and organisation of the JDP that granted them such unprecedented electoral resilience. With critical but accessible theoretical discussions, Toygar Sinan Baykan locates the JDP within the wider literature of populism, Islamist party politics, party organisations and authoritarianism. Over fifty in-depth interviews also help to relate the intimate story of Turkey's socio-cultural divides and the JDP's intraparty organisational dynamics, thereby offering a fresh account of Turkish politics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e 1.
