Politics and Society in Cold War Turkey (1960-1980) offers a comprehensive examination of Turkey’s transformative era between the military coups of 1960 and 1980. Analysing the period within global Cold War conjunctures, it investigates profound socio-political, economic, and cultural shifts. It explores the institutionalisation and subsequent erosion of a liberal constitutional order, alongside the rapid mobilisation of dynamic social forces, including the socialist left, trade unions, women, and marginalised minorities. Conversely, it highlights the severe polarisation driven by the radical right and political Islam. By exploring foreign policy crises, urban informalisation, and cultural production, this seminal work offers an indispensable guide to understanding modern Turkey’s most pivotal era.
