Organized into five sections—history, culture, politics, society, and geography and economy—the study begins by tracing the nation’s history from the rise of the Ottoman Empire to the First World War and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. The remaining sections consist of chapters focused on topical issues of the Republican period, ranging from from Ataturkism to civil–military relations, from the constitution and political system to religion and politics, from Kurds to European Union relations, from women’s and youth issues to literature, cinema, music and the fine arts. Additional topics include political culture, population and migration, urbanization, industry and employment.
