Municipal Politics in Turkey

The book explores the dynamics of local politics in two Central Anatolian cities, focusing on the contrasting influences of the AKP in Konya and the CHP in Eskişehir. It examines how national political parties tailor their strategies to fit local contexts and the ways they attempt to shape local culture. By analyzing the interplay between national ideologies and local political practices, the work sheds light on the complexities of governance and cultural adaptation in contemporary Turkey.
