    EVENT SUMMARY<\/h2>\n
    Civil-military relations took a complex turn in Turkey in the last couple of years, particularly with the emergence of the Ergenekon, an underground organization investigated for plotting a military coup. In addition to the traditional actors of the Turkish political scene\u2013the civilian government, military, media, and legislative body\u2013a new player, the judiciary, is now taking center stage in the political struggle between the pro- and anti- Justice and Development Party (AKP) camps. In light of the recent arrest of retired and active duty military officers, important questions are emerging: is Turkey becoming more or less democratic? Is the power struggle between Islam and secularism or between democracy and authoritarianism?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
