This paper describes the rise of the periphery elite and sheds light on the fears of the classical centrist elite. It draws parallels to the development of a pious middle class in Egypt. Finally, it depicts the structural deficits of the Turkish political system that obstruct a smooth transition from the dominance of the classical elite to political competition in a democracy and a fair distribution of power in the country. |
