Necmettin Erbakan

23rd Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey (1926–2011)

Necmettin Erbakan made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Necmettin Erbakan as 23rd Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey (1926–2011).

Necmettin Erbakan was born in 1926. His recorded nationality is Turkey. He was educated at RWTH Aachen University and University of London.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Necmettin Erbakan is described as politician, engineer and university teacher.

What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.

Working from Turkey shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Death came in 2011, at 85. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
