Course Objectives: | This course aims at a critical analysis of the Turkish politics from historical perspective. While an emphasis is placed upon political developments, socieconomic and cultural dimensions are considered as well. It is believed that state-centric analysis is less than inadequate if it does not take into the consideration the interaction between political struggle and distributional struggles characterizing the society. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; This course is designed to introduce participants to Turkish politics by examining relevant classical and contemporary theories of political development. It is also designed to enable students to have a better understanding of how and why Turkish political system evolved from a single party revolutionary system to a complex multi-party system that has been characterized by frequent coups and clashes secular and religious reactionary and separatist movements. Finally, students will gain a better understanding of the cultural foundations, regime characteristics, political institutions, elite-mass linkages, and civil-military relations, state-civil society relations occurring in the Turkish political system. |
The content of the course will cover political developments in Turkey from 1923 to the latest developments in the negotiation process with the EU, including the transition to the multi-party system, the rise of political islam and separatism. |
