Sekülarizm ve Ordu Etkisinin AKP Döneminde Türkiye-AB İlişkilerine Etkisine Yönelik Tarihsel Bir Değerlendirme

Bu makale, ordunun Türk modernleşmesindeki rolünün AB otoritelerince yanlış değerlendirildiğini öngörmektedir. Bu yanlış değerlendirme sonucu, AKP otoriterleşmesi önündeki son engel de kaldırılmış oldu. Bu iddiayı desteklemek üzere, bu makale ilk önce modernist literatürde sekülerleşme teorisinin nasıl yorumlandığını ele alacak ve böylece makalenin teorik alt yapısını hazırlayacaktır. Ardından buradan çıkan bulgular postseküler eleştiri ile karşılaştırılacaktır. Bu sayede, nasıl olupta, ordu gibi hükümet üstü bir kurumun Türkiye gibi bir ülkenin seküler dönüşümünü gerçekleştirdiği masaya yatırılacaktır. İkincil olarak, makale, Türkiye’deki seküler uygulamaları incelemek için ordunun siyaset üzerinde artan denetimini ve sekülerleşme üzerindeki etkisini tartışacaktır. Son olarak, bir ve ikinci bölümden çıkan bulguların ışığında, seküler ve post-seküler teorileri de dikkate almak kaydıyla, makale, ordunun siyasetten yalıtılmasıyla paralel olarak AKP’nin tırmanan otoriter politikalarını inceleyecektir.

An Historical Analysis Of Secularism And Military Impact In Turkey With Reference To The Turkey– Eu Relations During The AKP

This paper argues that the European Union authorities could have misread the military’s role in Turkish modernisation, and this misreading perhaps opened the path for the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’s (AKP) growing authoritarianism. To test this argument, the paper first outlines a theoretical framework by discussing the influence of secularisation theory in the modernist literature. Then it compares the secularisation theory with its postsecular critics. Through this, the paper aims to understand how a non-governmental institution such as the military may lead to a secular transformation in a nation such as Turkey. Second, the paper makes a brief observation of secularist implementations in Turkey by taking into account the military’s increasing supervision over politics and its influence on secularisation. Then, in light of the findings in the first and second sections, the paper finally discusses the potential relationship between the demilitarisation of politics and the rising AKP authoritarianism by considering the secularist and postsecularist approaches.
