           The Gloria Center is proud to announce
               the publication of a new book:
                 POLITICAL PARTIES IN TURKEY
   edited by Barry Rubin and Metin Heper (Frank Cass, 2002)

     Turkey's growing international profile, candidacy for the European
Union, and persistent democracy have led to a growing interest in how that
country is governed. This book provides detailed portraits of the seven mai=
n
political parties by Turkish experts who are close observers of these
institutions. In addition to providing an analytical survey of Turkish
politics today, this volume also provides a fascinating case study on the
problems of developing deep-rooted democracy, conflicts between state
interests and interest groups, and the evolution of party systems.
