SUMMARY:Turkey: A View from the Middle
DESCRIPTION:Turkey is a middle power located in the Middle East – indeed\, a land in the middle between Europe and Asia. Turkey has always been a challenging ally of the United States\, but the country played an essential part in the days of the Cold War countering Soviet influence. Now Turkey is invested in and has accepted the role of a key partner in the Gaza peace process. As the United States disassembles the world order which America itself largely created\, the influence of middle powers in the international system will grow in importance. William Hall explores how Turkey will engage with the United States and other nations in this latest attempt to bring peace to the Middle East. We invite you to join us for this compelling event. Registration is required. Please register at https://falmouth.librarycalendar.com/event/Turkey-CC Registrants will receive an email reminder. In the event of inclement weather\, this program will be held on Saturday\, January 24 at 11 AM. \nWilliam “Bill” Hall was an intelligence officer for the US Air Force\, serving on active duty from 1969 until 1999\, much of that time overseas in Asia\, Europe\, and the Middle East. He grew up in Virginia and received a bachelor’s degree in politics from Princeton University and a master’s degree in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia. Bill is on the board of the Camden Conference and a past president of the World Affairs Council of Maine. He and his wife\, Nancy\, live on Peaks Island.

SUMMARY:"How Populism Works in Erdogan's Turkey" with Dr. Senem Aslan
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how Erdoğan’s increasing reliance on populist discourse and style throughout his tenure contributed to the rise of an authoritarian regime sustained by popular support. It highlights how the performative and emotional dimensions of these strategies can help autocratic leaders garner support and reinforce their perceived authenticity\, particularly when their legitimacy is under threat. \nSenem Aslan is professor of Politics at Bates College. She is the author of Nation-Building in Turkey and Morocco: Governing Kurdish and Berber Dissent published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. She recently completed a book manuscript on populism and the politics of emotions in Turkey.

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion: "Erdogan: The Making of a Sultan"
DESCRIPTION:Auburn Public Library invites you to a film screening and discussion of Erdogan: The Making of a Sultan. “In this acclaimed new documentary\, Emmy and BAFTA award-winning director\, Gilles Cayatte\, and expert on Turkish affairs Guillaume Perrier\, profile President Erdogan. He rose to power as the anti-corruption candidate\, challenging the old order and advocating closer ties with the EU. But now\, Recep Tayyip Erdoğa seems to epitomise the concept of Turkish Authoritarianism. The attempted coup d’état of July 2016 has enabled him to consolidate his power and silence all opposition.” (from Kanopy.com)
