Abstract
Modern Turkish history is one of change and continuity insofar as it involves radical changes and ruptures alongside significant continuities across different periods. This chapter defines the nature of transformation in the Turkish context starting with the early republican period and provides a historical and theoretical background to the most recent process of transformation that unfolded under the AKP government since 2002. In doing so, it identifies the main processes of change as well as ensuing social cleavages, which set the domestic and international contexts within which the AKP rose to power.
