OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Turkey has been going through a rapid reverse transition from an incomplete but resilient democracy to a contested authoritarian regime with fascistic aspects. Whether the election results of November 1st will make a difference depends on a set of factors including commitment to democratic process among Justice and Development Party decision makers, levels of intra-party discord and the availability of coherent political alternatives. Drawing on an appraisal these factors, Kerem Oktem will discuss the election results and their effects on domestic and regional politics, as well as on global security.
