Description:
This book investigates the Turkish experiment in democracy which began with the formation of new political parties in 1945 and led to the peaceful abdication of power by the Republican People’s Party after the general election of 1950. This change, which brought the Democrat Party to power, proved to be a turning-point in Turkish politics and thereafter the experiment took on new dimensions, The policies of the new government, which the author discusses and analyses in detail, soon transformed the socio-economic structure of Turkish society, undermining its traditional stability. The existing institutions-the constitution, for example-which had been created for a single-party régime, were badly suited to the changed conditions and political crisis of the 1950s. As a result, the army intervened in 1960 to break the deadlock between the parties, It also reformed old institutions and created new ones in order to provide an appropriate political structure for the multi-party system. However, stability was not easy to come by. Economic development had led to political awareness in a section of the working class, a trade-union movement, and a socialist party. These groups, supported by radical students, challenged many of the assumptions of the established parties and added, for the first time, the ideological element to Turkish politics. One aim of the military intervention of March 1971 was to put an end to this ideological challenge from the Left and to restore the old political consensus. Until October 1975, when the study ends, this aim had met with some success.
The book is. based largely on Turkish sources, including material gathered by the author in his extensive interviews with participants in this continuing experiment.
