*/About 'Communication Strategies in Turkey'/**
*
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is known for his populist 
Islamist ideology, charismatic personality, and for ushering in new 
forms of communication strategies in Turkey. The key tools in Erdogan's 
political communication repertoire include religious, cultural and 
historic symbols and imagery. From engaging Israel to the Gezi Park 
protests, from the Arab uprisings to the July 2016 coup attempt, every 
key moment in Turkey's recent history has heralded a change in Erdogan's 
rhetoric.

Communication Strategies in Turkey examines the transformation of 
political messaging that has taken place within the Justice and 
Development Party (AKP) under Erdogan. Using quantitative and 
qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with high profile AKP 
officials, observations at AKP rallies and headquarters, and analysis of 
Erdogan's speeches from 2002 to 2019, the book shows how his method of 
communication changed over time to prioritise a “New Turkey” to replace 
Atatürk and his legacy.

*Reviews*
“'Communication in Turkey has not received the academic scrutiny and 
analysis it deserves. Taner Dogan's incisive and pioneering study 
admirably fills this gap. It is an extremely valuable contribution to 
the literature on political communication. Highly recommended'”
–Daya Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong 
Baptist University, Hong Kong

“Taner Dogan's original, groundbreaking research provides an insightful 
perspective into the opportunities, challenges and defining moments that 
have contributed to shaping the political messages of Turkey's President 
and its ruling party over the last decade. A must read for those 
interested in international communication in general and Turkey's 
political media strategies in particular.”
–Mohammed el-Nawawy, Professor in the Media and Cultural Studies 
Program, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Qatar
