Öğe The Role of the EU in Changing the Role of the Military in Turkish Politics(Brill Nijhoff, 2014) Turan, İ.; Gürsoy, Y.[No abstract available]Öğe Two steps forward one step back: Turkey’s democratic transformation [2-s2.0-84921316828](Taylor and Francis, 2013) Turan, İ.[No abstract available]Öğe Two steps forward one step back: Turkey’s democratic transformation [2-s2.0-85150549751](Taylor and Francis, 2013) Turan, İ.Turkey began to be counted among democracies long before democracy was elevated to the level of being the only respectable form of government in the world after the demise of the Warsaw Pact and the fall of the Soviet Empire. Ruled by a single party since its founding in 1923 and a track record of two failed experiments in initiating opposition parties, Turkey might not have come to mind as the most outstanding candidate to make a transition to political democracy after the Second World War. Yet, by all accounts, it managed to achieve a peaceful transition to political competition during the 1946–50 period. At a time when many of the underdeveloped countries, as well as those becoming independent as a result of decolonization, were becoming targets of a rivalry between the ‘Free World’ and the ‘Communist World’, the Turkish success was quickly seized upon by the advocates of political democracy as a model demonstrating that moving to democracy in a developing country was possible. The case of Turkey was studied and analyzed to uncover the secrets of democratic transition.2 Within a decade, it became evident that the smooth transition did not necessarily lead to smooth operation. Turkey went through a long period of democratic breakdowns, military governments, and returns to civilian rule between 1960–83. Since 1983, the country has been spared military interventions and has been going through a process such that democracy appears to be on its way to becoming the only game in town. © 2014 Carmen Rodríguez, Antonio Ávalos, Hakan Yılmaz and Ana I. Planet.Öğe Volatility in politics, stability in parliament: An impossible dream? The Turkish Grand National Assembly during the last two decades(2003) Turan, İ.Can a parliament become highly institutionalised and serve as an agent of democratic consolidation in an unstable political environment? Turkey's case provides answers to this question. It is observed that in the Turkish parliamentary system, where the government prevails over the legislature and the government parties over parliamentary oppositions, the party system and the parties have been in constant change, negatively affecting the pace and level of institutionalisation of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA). It is noted that rules of procedure are in need of change, but the TGNA has had difficulty in producing new rules. Committees have little power in determining the content of legislation and staff support is weak. Over time, however, a constitutional system of checks and balances constraining parliament's power has evolved. It is concluded that behind this appearance of constant change, the parliament functions along reasonably well-established lines and has become a central institution in the democratic consolidation process. © 2003, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
