This contribution provides a historical review of the Republican Peoples Party (CHP), the oldest party of the Turkish Republic. In the last decade, the CHP failed to find a way of restructuring its ideology, support bases and organizational structure in an era of dramatic international, national, and local change. This failure lead to dramatic vote loss, resulting in fewer positions to share among supporters and creating a vicious circle resulting in more losses in vote.

Opposition for the sake of opposition Polarized Pluralism in Turkish Politics Şenyuva, Özgehan (2009-01-01) This article examines the current state of Turkish politics and the positions of the two main opposition parties—the Republican People's Party and Nationalist Action Party--on the major issues. The article argues that rather than formulating alternative sociopolitical and economic policies, both opposition parties partake in a merely partisan debate. This in turn partly discredits them as engaging in unconstructive criticism for their own political gain.
Modernism and the peasantry : the case of Turkey Çaya, Sinan; Ecevit, Mehmet Cihan; Department of Sociology (2013) The Turkish Republican Revolution followed the National Struggle for the independence of the remaining Turkish-Moslem sections of the former Ottoman State. The radical nature and the sudden occurrence of the following revolution caused the periphery of the country to accept all novelties only with reluctance and resistance. Indeed, the Turkish peasant does possess some collective traits, which are possible to distinguish him from town and city and even town dwellers. Turkey has been considered an agrarian s...
The Erdoganization of Turkish politics and the role of the opposition Selcuk, Orcun; Hekimci, Dilara; Erpul, Onur (2019-10-01) This article examines the personalization of Turkish politics during Recep Tayyip Erdogan's third term as prime minister. While many studies focus on the prime minister's growing personal domination of the executive branch, we consider how leaders of the opposition reflected and reinforced that trend. To test our hypotheses on this 'Erdoganization,' we employed a content analysis to consider Kemal Kilicdaroglu and Devlet Bahceli's speeches at weekly parliamentary group meetings of the CHP and the MHP. Our f...

Thus, four major foreign policy issues during this period will be scrutinized. These issues are namely, Turkey’s EU membership process, the Cyprus problem, the US-Turkey relations and the Armenian question.

The Legal, political and sociological roots of tutelary regime in single - party period Ete, Hatem; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2012) This dissertation examines the political regime during the single party rule in Turkey between the years of 1923-1950 in relation to the concept of tutelage. The main argument supported in this work is that tutelary tendencies, contrary to the assumptions of Kemalist historicization, do not serve as segue to democracy, but rather make consolidation of democracy difficult, even impossible. In support, this dissertation provides a close examination of the Kemalist nation building process beginning from the Ot...
