With the Justice and Development Party (AKP) coming to power in 2002, Islamic neoliberalism emerged as a hegemonic project, challenging the secular foundations of modernization. This shift was legitimized through two processes: Islamism gained democratic credibility by distancing itself from secularism's association with military coups, while neoliberalism was promoted as a solution to state inefficiencies. Ostensibly, this model initially fostered economic growth and strengthened Turkey's EU candidacy, but by the 2010s, democratic backsliding and economic crises ensued. Using a critical global political economy framework, this article argues that AKP governance represents a continuous process, linking Islamic neoliberalism to Turkey's political and economic crises, and highlighting how promises of progress and growth led to authoritarianism and instability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
