DESCRIPTION:Can leaders shape identity and legitimize new social orders? I 
 address this question by studying the role of Mustafa Kemal "Atatürk"\, th
 e founder of modern Turkey\, in spreading a new national identity. During 
 the first years of the creation of the Turkish nation-state\, Kemal made a 
 massive campaign effort to rally citizens around his nation-building progra
 m and the new state ideology. Using a generalized difference-in-difference
 s design\, which exploits time and geographic variation in Kemal’s visits
  to localities\, I test whether exposure to Kemal affects citizens’ take-
 up of the Turkish identity\, as proxied by the adoption of first names in 
 "Pure Turkish"\, the new language created by the state to homogenize the po
 pulation. I find that people living in visited districts are more likely t
 o give their children new "Pure Turkish" first names after a visit. I then 
 investigate the mechanisms. I first show that Kemal was more efficient in
  rallying people compared to Ismet Inonu\, his Prime Minister\, suggesting 
 that he had an idiosyncratic effect. Second\, results are driven by places 
 where he met with local elites and which had former Ottoman nationalistic s
 upport\, which suggets that his effect is due to a coordination and cooptat
 ion of local elite. Third\, I find that places visited by Kemal are more li
 kely to receive state resources and open local associations tightly linked 
 to the ruling party and which had a similar propaganda role. Overall\, theÂ
  findings are consistent with the Weberian view that charismatic authority 
 can legitimize new social orders. \\n\\nContact: Kenza Elass : kenza.elass
