Synopsis of the Talk
The local elections of March 30th that took place in Turkey were characterized by the unprecedented level of polarization leading to a very intense political campaign which ended with the eighth consecutive electoral victory of the ruling political party in Turkey. The talk will assess the outcomes of these elections in Turkey and the impact of increasing polarization on the governance crisis. It will also identify the reasons behind AKP’s electoral success and consolidation and analyse the implications that it can have in the forthcoming presidential elections and the evolution of political competition and party system.
