Turkey program

Rationale

Created in 2019, the Noria-research Turkey Program aims to study political reconfigurations through the prism of regime transformations.
The program gathers researchers around a multidisciplinary approach and qualitative methodology. Collectively, they produce field-based research, analytically supported by cartography and infographics, to highlight the contemporary transformations of politics in Turkey.

The Turkey program investigates three research axis:

→ Transformations of the state

→ The evolution of the partisan field

→ Turkey’s relations with its regional environment

Our core ambition is to think of these three axes as connected and to focus on their interactions. Presidentialisation of the regime and debates on its legacy reveal the relationship between political party competition, internal balance of the Turkish state and strategic reorientations of the country.

Throughout its activities, the Noria Turkey Program relies on institutional partnerships, such as CERI-Sciences-Po, Inalco or IFEA.
