Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to examine in depth the important processes in the history of Turkish democracy. In particular, the role of constitutions adopted from the period when the foundations of the modern political system were laid and the role of political parties established in this process are comprehensively discussed. In addition, democratic and anti-democratic changes in the state structure and society are analyzed not only from a political perspective, but also from social, economic and cultural dimensions. These analyses aim to examine the turning points in Turkey's political history and the impact of these processes on society from a broad perspective.

Starting from the developments in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, the First and Second Constitutional Monarchy periods are analyzed comprehensively.

In the continuation of the course, Turkey's transition to multi-party life, the military coups, the adoption of new constitutions, the elections held during these periods and the political parties established are also evaluated in detail.
