Summary/Abstract Even though Turkey has the longest parliamentary history in the Middle East, there are no signs that her distance from the Western political model has lessened. In fact, during the post- zal decade, the military succeeded in augmenting its political and financial power vis- -vis ambitious domestic pressure groups and rising economic interests to such a level that civilian supremacy became an even harder task for Erdo an's administrations

Military institution, Ataturk principal, and Turkey's sisyphean / Karabelias, Gerassimos   Journal Article
Karabelias, Gerassimos Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Mustafa Kemal Ataturk principles expressed the desire of the Turkish military-bureaucratic elite to create a strong, modern, western-like state. But, the process of modernization through westernization was supposed to transform the politically meaningless subjects of the Ottoman Empire (the rea'ya) into citizens - a politically meaningful category. Lack of trust over people's preferences and the military's tutelary role under the pretext of the eternal leaders' principles has turned Turkey's quest for democracy into another Sisyphean enterprise.
