As part of a special journal symposium entitled "Islamist Parties and Democracy," the author examines the uniqueness of the Justice & Development Party (AKP), Turkey's democratically elected ruling party since 2002 that emerged from Islamism but denies the label "Islamist," preferring to call itself a "conservative democratic" political entity. The AKP's current position on Islamism & democracy is analyzed in light of its political & ideological evolution, describing the rise of early Islamic parties in the 1970s & the growth & decline of the Virtue Party, which split into the "traditionalist" Felicity Party & "moderate" AKP in 2001. Activities of & public support for the AKP since it took office are discussed. It is concluded that the AKP "exemplifies the ability of Islamically oriented elites to regenerate themselves by embracing democracy in a politically competitive environment & in connection with European political networks & global economic institutions.".
