Written a month after the July 2007 general elections, this report by Bekir Ağırdır elaborates on whether the outcome of these elections will bring about a new era in politics in Turkey. Using data from a poll conducted by KONDA three weeks prior to elections, it discusses how the new rhythm of life calls for a new party and, given the goals of development and democratization, what kind a new party and an understanding of politics are necessary.
This report was published in the Radikal daily in August 2007.
