Relations Between Politics and Constitutional Review in Turkey with Special Reference to the Referrals of Republican Peoples Party: 2002-2010 Period

In this work, relations between constitutional review and politics will be assessed in the framework of referrals of RPP as a main opposition party to the TCC. Getting a good grasp of this issue seems to be of importance since there have been some debates taking place around the boundaries of constitutional review in Turkey. Within this framework, firstly, judiciary-politics relations will be examined in the context of judicialization of politics. Then, the content of referrals of RPP to the Constitutional Court will be analyzed.
