Summary:

A fresh theoretical approach to help our understanding and analysis of electoral integrity in TurkeyInvestigates one of the most significant obstacles to democratic governance of current timesFocuses on a neglected, yet interesting context in the electoral integrity literature, namely TurkeyUtilises original, primary data sources, where were solely constructed for this study, accompanied with the existent global databases on electoral integrityOffers diverse data analysis techniques including text as data, cross sectional and experimental analysisThis book provides a unique framework to explain the causes and consequences of electoral problems in Turkey. Although highly illuminating, the existing studies fall short of explaining the particularities of numerous singular electoral settings. This gap is especially valid for the grey-zone regimes, which are neither clearly democratic nor conventionally authoritarian in Turkey.Establishing a historical outlook by scrutinising the elections which have taken place since the 1950s, Emre Toros identifies the challenges related to electoral integrity nested at individual and institutional levels. In this way, this book contributes to electoral integrity literature by utilising the valuable research strategies of the existing studies, proposing alternative data sources that will better understand the phenomena and, most importantly, employing a methodology that will suit both singular and comparative cases.
