Abstract

The article discusses March 2014 local elections in Turkey, and how these elections are seen as a referendum on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Topics discussed include the strength of Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP), the alleged political corruption that Erodogan has been involved in, and the alleged authoritarian countermeasures used by Erodogan to survive the scandal, including social media restrictions, purges of the police, and threats to the press.
