INTRODUCTION Muhittin Ataman* The Republican Turkey, declared in 1923 under one-party rule, opted to transform its political system into a multi-party one as a reac- tion to the emerging bilateral world in the wake of the Second World War. Since then, Turkey has experienced several direct and indirect mil- itary coups and ruptures in its democratization process. The military, which declared itself to be the principal protector of the secular repub- lic, did not allow many popular politicians to rule the country, despite the support they had. Therefore, the military backed by other bureau- cratic institutions created a tutelage by which they controled almost every aspect of political life. Moreover, whenever the military came to power they pursued policies in line with those of theWest and institu- tions such as NATO and the EU. As a consequence, it is widely be- lieved that the West has been a crucial force behind the numerous forms of military coups that have taken place in Turkey. The Turkish military intervened in politics on the pretext of a per- ceived deviation from the main principles of the secular Republic. Its first intervention into politics occurred in 1960; at that time, the coup plotters hanged the prime minister and two ministers after a fictitious judicial process. This military coup was followed by two others in 1971 and 1980, which curtailed political participation and the democratiza- tion process. Thousands of civilians lost their lives during political in- stability and the military campaigns in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1997, * Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Turkey 10 / INTRODUCTION the military indirectly intervened in political life for the fourth time, forcing the conservative government of Necmettin Erbakan to resign. When the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) came to pow- er in 2002, it promised to normalize the country by initiating a process of democratization, demilitarization and civilianization. The AK Party governments took significant steps in this regard which allowed the arena of civil society to expand and increased diversity in social and political life. Thus, it gradually inhibited the power of the military and other bureaucratic structures which in response tried to shut down the ruling party through various channels, in order to curtail the restruc- turing of the country. Starting in 2013, there have been several differ- ent attempts to overthrow the AK Party government. The Gezi Park protests in June 2013 were an attempt to change the government through social unrest; while the events on December 17 and 25 were overt judicial interventions to force the democratically elected govern- ment to halt its reform and development programs. July 15, 2016, different in many aspects from previous coups, was the latest attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of Turkey and to reverse the changes it had implemented. When compared with previous coups, July 15 differentiates in terms of the rationale, agents, tools and results. First of all, the reason behind the above mentioned coups (i.e. 1960, 1971, 1980 and 1997) was always related with the “protection of the secular principles” of the Turkish Republic. The mil- itary, a self-declared guardian of these principles, intervened in the po- litical affairs of the state arguing that due to the Islamist perspectives of the politicians in power the secular principles were being violated. Nev- ertheless, this was not the rationale behind the July 15 coup attempt. While the coup plotters tried to use such a discourse –as can be seen in the coup statement broadcasted under duress on national television– JULY 15 COUP ATTEMPT IN TURKEY / 11 the real reason behind the coup attempt was to replace the AK Party with an alternative political grouping. Overthrowing the government would allow the coup plotters and the mastermind behind them to gain power and replace the democratically elected government. Secondly, the agents that undertook the coup attempt of July 15 were different from those of previous coups. While only the military was openly responsible and active in these events, in the July 15 coup attempt the military was not the main agent. More specifically, the coup attempt was masterminded by Fetullah Gülen, the leader of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), and it was brought to life by his sup- porters inside the military and a number of other governmental institu- tions. It can be argued that the civilian element of the coup plotters was a novelty in the history of Turkish coups. Moreover the tools used and the targets of the plotters were also divergent when compared with the earlier coups which only targeted the politicians. The coup plotters of July 15 not only targeted the politicians and the governmental institu- tions, they did not even spare the life of the innocent civilians who took to the streets to protect the democratically elected government. Last but not least, unlike the other coups, the July 15 coup was not successful. As will be discussed below and through the chapters of this book, the reasons behind the failure of the July 15 coup attempt are twofold: 1. The strengthening of the Turkish democracy, especially the consolidation of the democratic institutions, 2. The democratic awareness and the unification of the Turkish citizens under the same flag, leaving aside their differences. In brief, the coup attempt on July 15, 2016 was the most dramatic link in the chain of anti-democratic and illegitimate interventions that 12 / INTRODUCTION Turkey has experienced.

Tanzimat reforms as well as Constitutional Monarchy periods (known as I. and II. Meşrutiyet) crowned with the National Liberation Movement initiated the new political regime in Turkey and formed a parliamentary institution that call now the Turkish parliament or the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. The analysis of the historical evolution of the Turkish parliamentary experience along with its parliamentary functions and activities will provide us valuable information on politics and socio-historical development of the Turkish state. Certainly, the unique characteristics of Turkish society and Turkish history, as well as parliamentary transformations at the global level along with political developments affecting the parliamentary tradition makes a Turkish parliamentary experience noteworthy to be analyzed. Social structure, bureaucracy and traditions of every society or political entity define the role of a parliament in the certain political system. The social and political structure gives important information on the organization and behaviour of the parliament as well as parliamentary functions provide first-hand data on features and characteristics of the society reciprocally. This study is a brief historical account of the Turkish parliament as a representative institution.

    IJAUS VOLUME :1, NUMBER: 1 THE POWER AND NATURE: THE RESISTANT SUBVERSIONS SERDAR ERİŞEN Serdar Erişen, The Power and Nature: The Resistant Subversions, Middle East Technical University, ABSTRACT This is a study of the dominant power of governmental implementa=ons in spa=al prac=ces and their disregard for nature and its representa=onal values in the public sphere. It begins by making a brief men=on of the struggle for Gezi Park in Taksim Square and the reasons behind its rapid development into a social phenomenon. The ini=al emergence of the ac=vist movements in Taksim Gezi Park seem to have been a reac=on to the government-based deconstruc=on and construc=on processes and ac=ons for Taksim, as a place in the heart of the city that is well-known for social events, demonstra=ons and social ac=vi=es. The square was closed by the government, preven=ng the holding of such social ac=vi=es as the May 1 celebra=ons in 2013, despite Taksim Square being a symbol of May 1 for the demonstrators; and s=ll under re-construc=on processes, changing the spa=al organiza=on of the square. The destruc=ve nature of the government-based construc=on processes became a s=mula=ng phenomenon for the public when aoempts were made to remove the trees from Taksim Gezi Park, which was considered at the =me an act of violence of the governmental processes against the natural environment through its means and apparatuses. The government’s ac=ons spurred into ac=on not only ac=vists, but also many of the inhabitants of İstanbul and people all across Turkey, who saw Taksim Gezi Park as a unique social space for İstanbul, as a green area at the heart of the city.

Klasik liberal düşünce çerçevesinde devlet olgusunu inceleyen düşünür, devletin kurumsal yapısı ve devletin kamusal boyutu üzerine önemli tespitlerde bulunmuştur. Liberal devlet anlayışı ve kanun hakimiyeti bağlamında sınırlı bir devlet anlayışını savunan Hayek, bu sınırlar içerisinde sosyal adalet konusuna sıkça temas etmiştir. Sosyal adalet kavramından hareketle devletin bu yönde yaptığı çabaların yersizliğini savunmuş ve bu tür çabaların piyasanın işlerliğini bozucu bir etki oluşturacağını ifade etmiştir. Minimal devlet anlayışından farklı olarak, sınırlı ve sorumlu bir devlet mekanizmasına temas eden Hayek, devletin, vergilendirme, eğitim, güvenlik ve hizmet sektörü gibi alanlarda meydana getirdiği etkileri de sorgulamıştır.

    PARTIES ESTABLISHED IN TURKEY AFTER 1960 AND THEIR ACTORS Assist. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Biçici Gaziantep University Introduction Organized structures formed in order to gain the authority to govern in a country by elections or to become partners in the administration of the country through coalition governments are called political parties (Gökçe, 2013). According to the political scientist Duverger’s evaluation of political parties, there are two main periods in the formation of political parties. In these two main periods, the background of the emergence and development of parties is taken into consideration. The first main period considers how the parties formed and under what conditions, while in the second main period, how the parties came to the present day after the World War II are examined (Göktürk, 2016). We can gather Party Political Systems under two headings. These are the two-party political system and the multi-party political system. In the two-party political system there are two major parties that are trusted to be elected by the people voting. Those who vote choose between these two parties, and the party that holds the majority wins power. 3. Parties are far from powerful in this election. The best known examples of the two-party political systems are seen in the United States and England. The candidates for power in these countries have two large majorities. Other smaller parties are unable to be in power because they cannot get close to the big two parties. Examples include the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the US, and the Labor Party and the Conservative Party in the UK.

  • Hayek'te Sosyal, İktisadi Ve Siyasal Teorilerin Bütünselliği
    Hayek’te Sosyal, İktisadi ve Siyasal Teorilerin Bütünselliği Abdullah Metin Arş. Gör. | Gazi Üniversitesi, İİBF, Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü Metin Özkan Arş. Gör. | Gazi Üniversitesi, İİBF, Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü Öz Bu makalenin amacı, Avusturyalı iktisatçı Friedrich von Hayek’in sosyal, iktisadi ve siyasal te- orisi arasındaki bağı ortaya koymaktır. Her bir teori bir yapıya tekabül eder. Yapıların oluştur- duğu genel sistemin varlığını devam ettirebilmesi için, yapılar arasında dolayısıyla da teoriler arasında bir uyum olması gerekir. Hayek’in genel teorisinin merkezinde kendiliğinden doğan düzen yer alır. Kendiliğinden doğan düzenin teminatı olan bireycilik ve özgürlük sosyal yapıyı; rekabet ve mülkiyet iktisadi yapıyı; demokrasi ve kanun hâkimiyeti ise siyasi yapıyı şekillendi- rir. Bu üç yapı arasında da bir uyumdan bahsedilebilir. Hayek, siyasi ve iktisadi yapı arasındaki uyumu piyasa; siyasi ve sosyal yapı arasındaki uyumu demarşi, iktisadi ve sosyal yapı arasın- daki uyumu ise katallaksi üzerinden ifade eder. Anahtar Kelimeler: Hayek, Demarşi, Katallaksi, Piyasa, Kendiliğinden Doğan Düzen. Abstract This study intends to uncover the relation between social, economic and political theories of Friedrich von Hayek who is the Austrian economist. Each theory corresponds to one specific structure. As proceeding of the mainstream system formed by structure, it is necessary to be a conformity between the structures thereby between the theories. Spontaneous order is the center of Hayek’s grand theory. Individualism and liberty which are the warranties of spontaneous order, shape the social structure; competition and property shape the economic structure; democracy and rule of law shape the political structure. It can be stated that there is a conformity between these three structures.

  • The Politics of Gender and the Making of Kemalist Feminist Activism in Contemporary Turkey (1946–2011)
    THE POLITICS OF GENDER AND THE MAKING OF KEMALIST FEMINIST ACTIVISM IN CONTEMPORARY TURKEY (1946–2011) By Selin Çağatay Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Susan Zimmermann CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Copyright Notice This dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The dissertation contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. CEU eTD Collection i Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between women's activism and the politics of gender by investigating Kemalist feminism in Turkey as a case study. The dissertation offers a political history of Kemalist feminism that enables an insight into the intertwined relationship between women's activism and the politics of gender. It focuses on the class, national/ethnic, and cultural/religious dynamics of and their implications for Kemalist feminist politics. In so doing, it situates Kemalist feminist activism within the politics of gender in Turkey; that is, it analyzes the relationship between Kemalist feminist activism and other actors in gender politics, such as the state, transnational governance, political parties, civil society organizations, and feminist, Islamist, and Kurdish women's activisms. The analysis of Kemalist feminist activism provided in this dissertation draws on a methodological-conceptual framework that can be summarized as follows. Activism provides the ground for women to become actors of the politics of gender.
