Political parties, elections and democracy: A close-up on the political history of Turkey

Şule Toktaş

Abstract

Abstract: The dynamics of contemporary Turkish politics has its roots in several crucial issues in the history of the Republic. Bearing in mind the classic periodization, the author attempts to outline the characteristic features of decisive periods in political history of Turkey, particularly: the problems accompanying the transition from single party semi ‑authoritarianism to multi-party politics. The paper introduces the reader into intricacies of the Turkish parliamentary system, which is instructive to understand the country’s present orientation towards EU accession.

Key words: Turkish parliamentary system, authoritarianism, single party rule, multi-party politics, periodization
