<p><em>In Turkey: The Pendulum between Military Rule and Civilian Authoritarianism</em>, Fatih ¿gatay Cengiz explains Turkey''s trajectory of military and civilian authoritarianism while offering an alternative framework for understanding the Kemalist state and state-society relations. This book clearly captures the zeitgeist of the moment Turkey has passed/has been passing through: democratisation, authoritarianism, and the coup cycle. Moreover, the book not only focuses on Turkish domestic politics with regards to procedural democratisation and waves of authoritarianism under the Justice and Development Party ( <em>Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi</em>, AKP), it also engages with Turkey''s recent foreign policy; policy that pushes Turkey to take an active role in the Syrian conflict through the concept of ''Neo-Ottomanism.'' </p>
