How has the supposedly liberalizing project of police reform in Turkey become central to the increasingly authoritarian regime of Erdogan”s AKP Party? Engaging political theory and a gender studies perspective, this book traces the implementation of security sector reform in Turkey, showing how various agents, including Islamist policy-makers, Turkish police and the women”s movement in Turkey have contributed to and resisted growing police powers. A critical study which also employs case studies, this is a timely intervention on the ”authoritarian turn” in Turkey and contributes to a growing number of studies of neoliberalism and security in the context of liberal internationalism.
