Article
Es kommt nicht oft vor, dass die Bürger eines Landes innerhalb eines Jahres zweimal zur Wahlurne gerufen werden, um ein neues Parlament zu wählen und folglich für eine neue Regierung zu sorgen. Im Jahr 2015 fanden in der Türkei binnen 147 Tagen zwei Wahlen zur Volksvertretung, der Großen Türkischen Nationalversammlung (TBMM) statt. Seit 2002 regier...

The parliamentary and presidential elections in Turkey of May 14, 2023, were considered crucial . Contrary to pollsters’ predictions, the expected swing did not materialize, and the AKP secured an absolute parliamentary majority through a well-crafted electoral alliance, despite losing a significant number of votes . The opposition emerged as the l...

Democracy would essentially fail if, despite an electoral defeat, the government refused to concede office. This possibility is a constant uncertainty that democracy has to deal with, which makes it fragile in terms of its survival. This was on full display after the 2020 U.S. presidential election, including the resulting denials by then President...

Chapter
Contributing to the discussion to what extent the constitutional changes under the ruling AKP constitute a new founding of the Turkish state or demonstrate a return to the “long 30s”, the chapter shows that despite a strong narrative of “breaking with the old”, we can trace a continuity of necropolitical violence as a tool to consolidate the nation...
Book
In this book, the author examines the development of the Turkish constitution since 1921 in terms of its horizontal separation of powers, and concludes that Turkey’s recent constitutional changes do not imply a presidential system at all. Contrary to the widespread assumption in journalism and academia, the governmental system has persisted in conf...

Chapter
Antisemitismus hat in der Türkei eine lange Tradition, doch in Zeiten sozialer Medien äußert er sich offener, sichtbarer und verbreitet sich rascher. Eine zentrale Facette des Antisemitismus speist sich immer wieder aus dem anhaltenden Konflikt im Nahen Osten. Weitere Spielarten, wie Verschwörungsmythen von einem zentralistischen Weltmachtsstreben...
Article
On the 24th of June 2018, for the first time Turkish citizens voted in separate elections for both parliament and the head of government . The constitutional amendments passed a year earlier in a controversial referendum became effective at the same time and transformed the parliamentary system of government into a so-called presidential system . H...
Chapter
This chapter provides insight into the non-democratic elements introduced in the guise of a presidential system by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. It further assesses the systematically taken steps by the government to create the conditions for regime change after the constitutional deadlock created by the June 2015 electi...
Thesis
Die Arbeit möchte das türkische Regierungssystem gründlich untersuchen. Sie erschöpft sich nicht in einer losgelösten Betrachtung der türkischen Verfassungstradition, -schrift und -wirklichkeit, sondern erhebt den Anspruch, mittels einer eingehenden Analyse eine größere Klarheit in der oftmals irritierenden sowie unübersichtlichen Typologiediskussi...

Rosa Burç, Meral Çınar, Axel Gehring, Alp Kayserilioğlu, Ismail Küpeli, Kerem Schamberger und Mahir Tokatlı richten mit ihren Beiträgen den Blick auf Zusammenhänge, die in der öffentlichen Debatte unterbelichtet bleiben. So werden sowohl die politische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen in der Türkei analysiert, wozu selbstverständlich auch eine i...
Chapter
Seit nunmehr 16 Jahren regiert in der Türkei die Partei für Gerechtigkeit und Aufschwung (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP), ohne dabei auf einen Koalitionspartner angewiesen zu sein. Das ist unter anderem deshalb bemerkenswert, weil die Türkische Republik qua Verfassung ein laizistischer Staat ist und das Militär in der Vergangenheit keinerlei Zwei...

Kurz vor der Nominierung des vorläufigen WM-Kaders sorgten Fotos zweier türkeistämmiger deutscher Nationalspieler, Mesut Özil und İlkay Gündoğan, mit Recep Tayyip Erdoğan für großen Unmut. Im Zuge eines Staatsbesuchs in Großbritannien wurde ein Treffen zwischen dem umstrittenen türkischen Präsidenten und vier türkeistämmigen Premier-League Legionär...

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den unterschiedlichen Rollen der Türkei in der Flüchtlingsbewegung und analysiert die Bedeutung der Türkei diesbezüglich. Sie ist nicht nur Aufnahme- und Transitland, sondern auch mit dem EU-Abkommen als eine Art »Türsteher« installiert worden, die die Migration einschränken soll. Ihre problematischste R...

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage der Realisierung von Minderheitsregierungen in Deutschland. In der Literatur wird diese Form der Regierungsbildung oft das "Skandinavische Modell" genannt, doch beschränkt sich das "Phänomen" nicht allein auf den skandinavischen Raum. Ganz im Gegenteil: Verschiedene Studien sind zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, d...
