Türk siyasi partilerinde lider oligarşisi: Evrimi, kurumsallaşması ve sonuçları

Türk siyasi partilerinin liderlik yapısı oligarşiktir, lider yenilemekte zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadırlar. Lider oligarşisinin şekillenmesinde tek parti mirası, merkezi devlet yapısı gibi devlet önderliğinde modernleşme sürecinin yanında siyasette himaye ilişkilerinin yaygınlığı, lider egemenliğini destekleyen kültür ve benzer unsurlar yer almaktadır. Oligarşik liderlik devam eden himaye ilişkileri aracılığıyla gücünü korumuş, kendisini destekleyecek bir hukuk yapısı da oluşturmayı başarmıştır. Partilerin örgüt yapısı, aday belirleme yöntemleri ve çok sayıda diğer faktör lider oligarşisini desteklemektedir. Yapı, demokrasinin işleyişini zorlaştırmaktadır.

The evolution, the ınstitutionalization and the consequences of leadership oligarchy in Turkish political parties

Turkish political parties display an oligarchic leadership structure and experience difficulty in changing leaders. In addition to state directed modernization producing a legacy of single party rule which Turkish democracy has inherited and the powerful central state as a model, the prevalence of clientelistic relations and the evolution of a culture supportive of leadership oligarchy have all contributed to leadership oligarchy. The oligarchic tendencies continue to be supported by the con- tinuation of extensive clientelistic relations and the construction of a legal framework that supports it. The organizational structure of parties, their methods of candidate designation for public office and many other factors lend support to the continuation of leadership oligarchy. Oligarchic leadership structure is dysfunctional for the well-functioning of a democratic system.
