Deep dives
Turkey's recent general election and the rise of illiberal democracy
In Turkey, the recent general election was expected to mark a break with the trend toward illiberal democracy. However, the results showed a victory for incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who did better than predicted. This is surprising given Turkey's economic catastrophe and the government's poor response to an earthquake. The political playing field in Turkey is heavily tilted in favor of Erdogan, with the state supporting his supporters and the media being pro-government. Turkey's democracy is being dismantled, and opposition leaders are facing jail time and other restrictions on their political involvement.
