DESCRIPTION:In the 2010s\, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party 
 (AKP) mobilized a global media system to counter international criticism o
 f its authoritarian practices and to position the country as a rising grea
 t power. Bilge Yesil examines the AKP’s English-language communication a
 pparatus\, focusing on its objectives and outcomes\, the idea-generating f
 ramework that undergirds it\, and the implications of its activities. She 
 also analyzes the decolonial and pan-Islamist message the AKP-backed outle
 ts deploy to promote President Erdogan as the voice of oppressed Muslims a
 round the world. As the AKP government wields this rhetoric to further its
  geopolitical and economic goals\, its communication instruments pursue th
 eir own objectives by replacing facts with Muslim identity politics\, cloa
 king populist commentary in humanist critique\, and demonizing the West to
  aggrandize the East.
