Since the Justice and Development Party (the AKP) came to power, it has expanded the rights of non-Muslim minorities. In order to provide a comprehensive theoretical perspective of the AKP’s policies toward non-Muslim minorities, this article utilizes constructivist and rationalist insights (the logic of appropriateness and the logic of consequences, respectively). This article argues that the AKP’s policies toward non-Muslim minorities are linked to its normative commitment to religious freedom. In addition, by drawing upon the literature of political marketing, this article argues that the AKP’s policies toward non-Muslim minorities can be analyzed as a strategy to expand its voter base.

正发党对待非穆斯林少数民族的态度

自正义与发展党（AKP）上台以来，它扩大了非穆斯林少数民族的权利。为了提供正发党对非穆斯林少数民族政策的全面理论视角，本文利用了建构主义和理性主义的见解（分别是适当性逻辑和后果逻辑）。本文认为，正发党对非穆斯林少数民族的政策与其对宗教自由的规范承诺有关。此外，通过借鉴政治营销文献，本文认为正发党对非穆斯林少数民族的政策可以作为扩大其选民基础的策略进行分析。
