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 Ataturk and his legacy UR - http://public.eblib.com/choice/PublicFullRecord.aspx?p=6383442 UR - http://public.eblib.com/choice/PublicFullRecord.aspx?p=6382190 UR - http://www.vlebooks.com/vleweb/product/openreader?id=none&isbn=9781838602277 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=2662612 ER -
