Class, Capital, State, and Late Development: The Political Economy of Military Interventions in Turk

In Class, Capital, State, and Late Development: The Political Economy of Military Interventions in Turkey, Gönenç Uysal discusses state-military-society relations in Turkey from the late Ottoman era to today. Her focus is on exploring state-class-capital relations under the dynamics of uneven development.

Uysal approaches Turkey as a late-developing social formation characterised by unevenness and dependency, arising from the contradictions of capitalist relations of production and integration with the world capitalist system. By drawing upon historical materialism/Marxism, Uysal offers a radical understanding of (re)organisation of the state and military interventions in politics in the peripheries of global capitalism.
