Turkish Parliamentary Experience Review of the Parliamentary
ISSN: 2667-4432 Journal of Universal History Studies (JUHIS)• 2(2 ) • December • 2019 • pp. 239 – 250 Turkish Parliamentary Experience Review of the Parliamentary Experience of Turkey from Ottoman to Republic Periods1 Saltanat Kydyralieva2 Istanbul University, Institute of Social Sciences PhD Alumna Received- Accepted: 23.09.2019- 02.12.2019 Research Article Abstract Turkish parliamentary tradition with a history of 140 years, no doubt is a result of challenging periods which roots extending to the history of the Ottoman Empire. 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. Refah devleti anlayışıyla birlikte sosyal adalet kavramının da temellerini sorgulayan düşünür, sosyal adalet düşüncesinin kaynağından başlamak üzere etkilerini analiz etmiş ve liberal bir devletin temel yapıtaşlarını örmeye çalışmıştır.

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. -
