While the DLP’s stance is explained with a new kind of ideological position that can be termed ‘center-left nationalism’, the rise of the DLP in the elections is mostly explained by the conjuncture of the pre-election period. The study also examines the history and structure of the DLP, and the corruption in Turkish politics.x, 103 leaves, illustrations, mapEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLeft of CenterNationalismand General Corruption in Turkish PoliticsJQ1809.A8 D46 2001Political parties--Turkey.Elections--Turkey.Thesis
