The book "Securitization and Authoritarianism: The AKP's Oppression of Dissident Groups in Turkey" edited by İhsan Yılmaz, Erdoan Shipoli, and Mustafa Demir explores how autocratic regimes use securitization to extend their life and ensure survival and authoritarian stability, focusing on the case of authoritarianism in Turkey. The authors examine how the AKP exploited past traumas, fears, and conspiracy theories to attain their political goals and ensure their political survival. The book provides an in-depth examination of autocratic survival in Turkey and discusses the securitization of various groups such as Kemalists, White Turks, Leftists, Islamic groups, Kurds, and Alevis. It also suggests the potential for further research on transnational securitization. [Extracted from the article] |
