FROM NATIONAL OUTLOOK TO CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRACY: THE TRANSFORMATION OF ISLAMIC ELITES IN TURKEY AFTER THE FEBRUARY 28 PROCESS
Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This article examines the transformation of post-Islamic elites in Turkey after the “February 28 process”. According to our main thesis post-Islamic elites clustered around the JDP, have created a self-sustaining majority party through a moderate critique rather than an outright rejection of the Kemalist establishment. These post-Islamists, who have given up the dream of building a “just order”, have instead choosen to integrate Turkey into the global capitalist system. They have grasped well the transformation of global and local dynamics and shifted their rhetoric from a framework of Islam to democracy and human rights. At this point by dissociating from the radical National Outlook front they have remained within “acceptable limits” and thus have created a legitimate political ground.
