ReviewsThis book is a must-read for understanding the working of elections in a competitive authoritarian regime and the challenges facing Turkish democracy. Professor Toros uses rich empirical analysis, bringing together alternative data sources that complement one another to reveal a comprehensive picture of electoral integrity in Turkish multiparty elections. It is a welcome contribution to the discipline that aims to understand how elections are used to build a democratic regime.

SynopsisA fresh theoretical approach to help our understanding and analysis of electoral integrity in Turkey., This 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.
