Abstract

The paper analyses the dynamics of civic activity and development of social protest culture in Turkey since the establishment of Republic in 1923. The study explores the main vectors, forms and normative strategies of social protest within different periods of Turkey’s modern history. Basing on the analysis of publications in the Turkish press (from the late 1920s up to the 2010s) the author argues new typology of mass political actions and protest unrest in Turkey and paradigms of interference between social protest and political culture.
