Après le référendum : quel paysage politique en Turquie ?

07
November 2017
Dorothée Schmid 

Dans ce podcast, Dorothée Schmid revient sur le référendum constitutionnel organisé en Turquie à la suite de la tentative de coup d’État de juillet 2016. Situation que notre spécialiste compare à celle qu’a connue le Venezuela, l’AKP d’Erdogan a ainsi suivi une logique de conservation du pouvoir traduite par un resserrement du paysage politique et un isolement du pays.
Outre l’aspect déstabilisateur de cette tentative de renversement, l’AKP a trouvé dans cet événement un moyen de donner un coup d’impulsion à un projet de réforme constitutionnelle déjà mis en débat avant juillet 2016. Fort de sa reprise en main du pays, Recep Tayyip Erdogan a ainsi convaincu 51% des Turcs à voter en faveur du référendum constitutionnel…ou davantage en faveur de la stabilité du pays rendue urgente par la menace de chaos agitée par l’AKP lors de la campagne référendaire.

    Latin America has had to deal with expansionist agendas of great powers since its independence. To do so, different leaders from the region have adopted different policies. Some have sought to reinforce their relations with the U.S. whereas others mistrusted their big neighbor from the North and tried to multiply their partnerships with other parties in order to keep their autonomy. To this respect, the central role played by U.S.-Latin American relations, epitomized by the1823 Monr ...

Nor do the people around him. Yet the sign remains. ...
