    Authoritarianism Is Turkey’s Biggest Economic Risk

    Şebnem Kalemli-Özcan

    More than just a popular mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu is a national symbol of the political pluralism and democratic possibility that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has sought to quash. Given the precarious state of the Turkish economy, his sudden arrest and imprisonment may prove to be the last straw.

    believes the current mass protests are about more than the arrest of the country’s leading opposition figure.
