Abstract :Studying political theory in action is an ambitious intellectual endeavor, and Begum Adalet’s Hotels and Highways: The Construction of Modernization Theory in Cold War Turkey undertakes and overcomes such a challenge. In that regard, this book is a forceful critique of modernization theory, which played a crucial role in American efforts during the Cold War era to disseminate American values, experts, and commodities to various parts of the globe, including Turkey. Since the early 1970s, modernization theory has been scrutinized and problematized by a myriad number of scholars, especially in political science, sociology, anthropology, and postcolonial studies
Keywords : modernization theory, cold war, hilton, twentieth century
