22:00 CITY CLUB FORUM – recorded Friday at The City Club of Cleveland, a citadel of free speech, Understanding Turkey’s Authoritarian Turn with Asli Bali, Ph.D., Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law; Director, UCLA Center of Near Eastern Studies - Just 10 years ago, Turkey was negotiating membership into the European Union and being cited as an example for other Middle Eastern countries to embrace as a market-friendly and democratizing Muslim majority country. A decade later, Turkey has gone from being a “model” to a cautionary tale of democratic backsliding and political polarization, increasingly embroiled in ethno-sectarian violence, political instability and economic corruption.
