This lecture will focus on the upcoming general elections in Turkey by taking a look at the 22 years of the AKP government. It will do so by elaborating on the long process from “democratic opening” to “democratic breakdown” in Turkey and questioning the domestic and international consequences of a potential electoral win for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
When: 22 February 2023, 18:00-20:00
Where: AF-Borgen, Gustafscenen (Sandgatan 2, Lund)
