| Summary/Abstract |
The confrontation between Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) and media mogul Aydin Dogan illustrates a major shift that has occurred in Turkey since the early 2000s. Dogan Holding is part of a traditional economic elite dominated by a number of large, coastal firms. The AKP is supported by a new generation of businessmen from Anatolia. This essay uses the conflict between the two to spotlight the competing networks of businessmen and politicians that dominate present-day Turkey.

| Summary/Abstract |
Though it was the Democrat Party that governed Turkey from 1950 to 1960, and whose successes and excesses shaped the conditions of democratization, the previously ruling Republican People's Party played a crucial role as well. Drawing on newspapers, memoirs, and parliamentary debates, this article considers how the party's leaders and its young cohort of future leaders reacted to defeat, redefined themselves as members of the opposition, and contributed to a polarized political culture that persists today.

| Summary/Abstract |
Are show trials always one-sided affairs? In looking at Turkey, this article argues that they can be venues where competing versions of the past are offered to the public and outcomes need not be pre-ordained. In 1960, Turkey’s government was overthrown in a military coup. Within months of the coup, the military began trials to show the nation both how corrupt the former ruling party had been and how just the new regime would be. Accomplishing both goals proved difficult: by allowing the deposed leaders to tell their version of events, the trials provided an opportunity for defendants to offer an alternative account.
