Ethnicity and Party Politics in Turkey: The Rise of the Kurdish Party During the Kurdish Opening Process

Abstract

here would have helped clarify how their findings comport with and differ from what has gone before in these areas. Methodologically, I wondered about the causal connections between personality, memory, and identity and other variables of interest, including turnout and vote choice. They demonstrate various associations of real importance; it is just that the true direction of effects is not always plain.This is not at all to gainsay what Bruter and Harrison have done. Indeed, I like the book, and it is my hope that their work spurs on new scholarship in the area, research that both builds on and extends their analyses and probes and challenges it as well. It is how science marches on, after all, and their claim of "flipping the electoral world upsidedown" seems designed to provoke such research. I very much look forward to seeing their next steps and those of others who join the endeavor. For now, I highly recommend Inside the Mind of a Voter.
