Description
Civic Death in Contemporary Turkey provides a critical examination of how pervasive surveillance systems have eroded civic life and democratic participation in modern Turkey. Through detailed analysis, author Sekin Sertdemir explores the mechanisms by which authoritarian governance employs advanced surveillance technologies to monitor, control, and suppress citizen engagement.
The book investigates the intersection of state power, digital technologies, and social control, demonstrating how surveillance extends beyond security concerns to fundamentally reshape the relationship between citizens and the state. Sertdemir contextualizes these developments within the broader Middle Eastern political landscape, offering insights into the consequences of unchecked state surveillance on human rights, privacy, and democratic institutions.
This scholarly work contributes to contemporary debates on authoritarianism, governance, and technology, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of how surveillance operates as a tool of political control and social fragmentation.
