Perceptions on Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the 2023 election

How has Erdogan's leadership style impacted Turkey's domestic and foreign policies?

  1. Erdogan's leadership style has faced criticism regarding the state of democracy and human rights in Turkey. Critics argue that Erdogan's government has curtailed media freedom, suppressed dissent, and undermined democratic institutions. There have been concerns raised about the erosion of the rule of law and judicial independence. These policies have drawn international criticism and affected Turkey's reputation in terms of human rights and democratic governance.

  3. Erdogan's leadership style has had a significant impact on both Turkey's domestic and foreign policies. Domestically, Erdogan's style is characterized by a mix of authoritarianism, populism, and Islamic conservatism. He has been accused of cracking down on political opposition and suppressing freedom of speech, particularly in the aftermath of the failed coup attempt in 2016. Erdogan has also promoted a more Islamic identity for Turkey and has sought to increase the role of religion in public life.
  4. Centralization of power: Erdogan has taken steps to centralize power in Turkey, consolidating control over key institutions such as the judiciary and the media. This has led to concerns about the erosion of democratic values and civil liberties in the country. Economic policies: Erdogan has pursued a number of economic policies aimed at promoting growth and modernization, including large-scale infrastructure projects and an emphasis on exports. However, some critics have argued that these policies have also contributed to a widening wealth gap and increased inequality in the country.

  6. Domestically, Erdogan's leadership style has led to a more centralized and authoritarian governing structure.

  7. Probably either made it better or worse? ******** There is no question added for me to give you feedback on your questionnaire and you did not submit the responses on Moodle! In term sof the questionnaire, there are some issues. Firstly, the age range has overlapping values. If a person is 22, should they choose 18-22 or 22-25? It looks like you copied my example from the board of what not to do... :) Later, in the question about gender, you have some grammar issues (e.g. a person cannot be plural 'women', a singular 'woman' should be used instead). Other questions are based on trusting that the person actually knows about the recent political events and situations in Turkey.
  8. No idea
  9. Sometimes he is aggressive i guess
  10. Till 2012, Turkey had friendly impression to EU and US. However, after that Erdogan started to thinking that European government leaders are trying to politicise against to Erdogan and he also thought that European leaders are supporting terrorism. Erdogan’s popularity increased in Turkey because opposition of Turkey is terrible. Citizens of Turkish people understood that There is no one better than Erdogan for Turkey. For me I dont like Erdogan but I don’t think opponent of Erdogan will win election.
