Download PosterIncreased curtailment of press, academic and individual freedoms in Turkey is catching the attention of domestic and international audiences. Institutions of judicial oversight and maintenance of the rule of law are succumbing to the will of Turkey's political elite, and the political opposition in parliament appears powerless to offer a credible alternative future. Where exactly is Turkey's democracy and democratic institutions headed, and what are the implications for the United States and European Union?
