No one can predict today how Turkey will evolve; which spirit will mark the country's future. Who could have predicted the turn it has taken in recent years after having been a rising star in the early 2000s, a candidate for the European club, "the" model to follow, especially for Muslim countries seeking justice and prosperity? The failure of its candidacy, in which Europe has its share, has been the prelude to its progressive de-Westernisation accompanied by bellicosity on all fronts, at home and abroad.
Western countries are trying to manage this "Turkish crisis" between incomprehension and blind detachment, between appeasement and complicity, between containment and apprehension of seeing this large country decompose in its turn.
In this concise and well-documented essay, the author provides analytical tools to understand the split of a society, between state, nation, religion, imperial myth and the West. The analysis is complemented by interviews with the sociologist Nilüfer Göle and the historian Étienne Copeaux, both of whom have witnessed Turkey's never-ending transformation.
